We were getting two kinds of Spoof Movies in the 1970s and 1980s: the feature-length film and the rapid-fire collection of sketches.

The former category included elaborately constructed, often brilliant, full-length feature films such as Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” (both released in 1974), “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975) and “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” (1979) and the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker classics “Airplane!” (1980) and “The Naked Gun” (1988).
