To be perfectly honest, I have never seen "The Gong Show Movie." However, my aunt went to see it on its opening weekend.
She said prior to the film, there was a coming attractions trailer for some movie nobody had ever heard of --- "Airplane!" According to my aunt, there was ten times more laughter during that 3-and-a-half-minute trailer than there was during the whole 90-minute "Gong Show Movie."
I have to admit that I, myself, have never seen this film (which is odd, since I never miss a Gary Mule Deer movie). It's no wonder I've never seen it --- it was reportedly pulled from movie theaters within a week of its nationwide opening in May of 1980 and was never released on VHS home video during the '80s, '90s, or 2000s! It finally received a DVD/Blu-ray release in 2016.
