Plot: The 1987 portmanteau comedy feature Amazon Women on the Moon lampoons several film genres in general and the 1954 sci-fi cheapie Cat Women of the Moon in particular. Other sketches in Amazon Women include an opening bit with Arsenio Hall; a vignette titled Son of the Invisible Man wherein a naked Ed Begley Jr. runs around in full view of the nonplussed supporting cast; the It's Alive parody Hospital, which offers the spectacle of Michelle Pfeiffer giving birth to Mr. Potato Head; and a Siskel & Ebert takeoff, featuring Arche Hahn as a TV viewer whose entire life is given a thumbs down. Directed by several hands, including Joe Dante, Carl Gottleib, Peter Horton, John Landis, and Robert K. Weiss, Amazon Women on the Moon also features a satire of the Kroger G. Babb school of sex hygiene exploitation cheapies, with syphilis victim Carrie Fisher being counseled by unctuous doctor Paul Bartel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This is still funny everytime I watch it. The choppy film section is suppose to be there. I thought it was my vcr slipping but that was part of the skit showing the problems that happened in the old reel movies. I ordered this for my brother-in-law who is warped. Can't wait until we watch it together.

Solid 80s comedy - Better than 80s SNL
Added 7/14/2009

Very soild comedy. It starts off with some really unfunny bits but finally finds a great rhythm about 15 minutes. Alot of the sketches are just tedious and have too few good jokes. But the strength of this movie is its running jokes and UNBELIEVABLE cast. Its a who's who of great 80s cult actors: David Alan Grier, Rip Taylor, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Begley Jr, Henry Silva, Joe Pantiliano, Kelly Preston, Arsenio Hall, TK Carter, Griffin Dunne, Steve Guttenberg, Rosanna Arquette. And all of them do well in their parts as mostly young comic actors. This film is a follow-up to Landis and Weiss' "Kentucky Fried Movie", but is far superior. Its precursor has aged horribly and isn't as funny to a modern audience. This film has some dry moments, but you'll enjoy the ride.

Splices a-plenty
Added 4/22/2009

Watched this years ago and I recently revisited it and found it to remain just as fresh and funny as I remembered. The "movie" which is chocked full of splices, is reminiscent of those old reeled movies we used to watch in school. the scenes would flicker, hop from one scene to the next. Like this one part when you have three astronauts arriving on the moon, then an instant later, two are talking to the moon women and as the conversation unfolds, you discover an entire scene in which the third astronaut died was cut out.

The commercials, however, are the icing on the cake. Funny and at least partly plausible, one could see them being actual commercials.

Very funny, just don't take it serious.
