Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish An irreverent and raunchy foray into the world of late-night television spoofing such media phenomena as infomercials, charity drives, tabloid shockers, late-night porn, and sci-fi movies from the 1950s, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON is a riotous collection of sight gags, double entendres, and general wackiness in the tradition of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and THE GROOVE TUBE. Nothing is sacred in this star-studded vehicle that pokes fun at many of these television wonders. Anyone who has spent an evening surfing the channels can relate to the hysterical formatting of these skits. The crazy sketches include "Mondo Condo," starring Arsenio Hall as a victim of his own apartment; and "Blacks Without Soul," with B.B. King making an outrageous plea to help the black people in the U.S.A born without soul. Infomercials for hair looming and "Silly Pate," "Tastes Great! Bounces High!" are interspersed between the main feature, the late-night movie "Amazon Women on the Moon," a hilarious spoof of cheap 1950s sci-fi movies featuring outrageous sets and costumes. This hysterical farce is packed with celebrity performances and in-your-face satire that mocks a wide variety of pop-culture entertainment. In this irreverent spoof of late-night television, humorous sketches mock varying forms of the media and other 1980s phonemena. Excruciatingly funny sketches include B.B. King making a public plea for "Blacks Without Soul," featuring the insipid talents of Don "No Soul" Simmons (David Alan Grier), as well as wacky spoofs of 1950s black-and-white films, including "Son of the Invisible Man," starring Ed Begley Jr. as the batty son who firmly believes he is as invisible as his father--except that everyone can see him--and "2 I.D.s," starring Rosanna Arquette and Steve Guttenberg as yuppies on a disastrous blind date. Everything from tabloid vignettes, 1950s sci-fi films, late-night porn, and infomercials are spoofed in this star-studded collection of skits. AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON is a sequel to KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE.
The names in the "Titan Man" sketch (George Bailey, Violet, and Mr. Gower) are taken from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Director Russ Meyer and composer Ira Newborn make cameo appearances in the film.
The final sketch "Reckless Youth," starring Carrie Fisher, appears after the final credits roll. Amazon Women On The Moon Reviews: "...An anarchic, often hilarious adventure..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...Amusing enough to earn return visits....[The] tech credits are great -- appropriately tacky where they should be and top-rate at all other times..."

Amazon Women On The Moon Movie Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Just about split a gut laughing
Anyone who does not like this movie is socially and mentally retarded when it comes to humor. Or you are just a plain old fashioned right winged Nazi fascist who doesn't find humor in anything. Typical right winged idiots. But if you are open minded and simply have a decent sense of humor I highly recommend this movie. Good for a laugh or two. I rest my case.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Only for the very interested
I recieved this film with high expectations. I'd been told it was extremely funny unfortunatley that was not to be the case. The first sketch with Arsinio Hall is quite amusing and the Amazon women on the Moon series is funny with the necessary experience of late 70's sci-fi. Watching the explorers perform all the cliches of the genre, in the middle of the desert with bushes and rocks unchanged, is amusing enough but the humour is laboured at best. In summary I would say if the material could be condensed to a half hour film it might hold the attention longer as it is the film is a challenge of endurance.

The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's.

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, ...

Baltasar Kormakur's 101 REYKJAVIK is a crowd-pleasing comedy that gleefully takes the concept of "family dysfunction" to an outrageous new level. Hlynur (Hilmer Snaer Gudnason), an unmotivated Icelander with no interests other than watching porn and getting drunk, still lives at home with his sympathetic mother. He has a brief fling with the beautiful Hofy (Thrudur Vilhjalmsdottir), but is too numb to pursue it on any genuine level. The arrival of his mother's friend Lola (Victoria Abril) changes all of that, however. Lola, a flamenco dancer who oozes sexuality, has decided to spend the Christmas holiday ...

Two decades after the Zucker brothers delivered the definitive word on in-flight comedy with the sidesplitting AIRPLANE movies, the question of how to regenerate the genre has finally been answered. Combine the relentless joke-fest of the Zucker movies, add a cast which appears to have fallen out of a 1970s blaxploitation movie, and serve with a touch of Wayans-brothers-inspired hilarity: today's in-flight meal is a dish called SOUL PLANE! The story begins when Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) successfully sues an airline and sets up the first black-owned flight service with the money. Entitled NWA Airlines, planes come resplendent with an on-board casino, a club, ...
