Editorial Review:
Contrary to popular rumor, this 1987 collection of comedy skits is not about a group of female employees from Amazon.com on a mission to the lunar surface. It's a series of unrelated spoofs and sketches designed to resemble an aimless night of TV channel-surfing, and the satirical targets include grade-Z science fiction films of the 1950s, sex films of the 1930s, hospital soap operas, and Playboy video centerfolds. There's a charity drive in which legendary bluesman B.B. King pleas for donations to help "Blacks Without Soul," and Ed Begley Jr. thinks he's the son of the Invisible Man, which would be fine if he weren't as visible as everyone else. The various sketches feature an all-star cast including Rosanna Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Carrie Fisher, Michelle Pfeiffer, the late Phil Hartman in an early role, and many others. It's strictly hit-or-miss, and many of the sketches fall flat, especially since the subjects being spoofed (the title sketch is a send-up of the actual 1954 movie Cat Women on the Moon) are funny enough without being satirized. Even though Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide describes most of the sketches as "astonishingly unfunny," this can be a very amusing movie if you're in the mood for a no-brainer with a lot of familiar Hollywood faces. Now a modest little cult film, it's the kind of disposable entertainment that maintains its appeal almost in spite of itself. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon Women on the Moon [Region 2] Reviews:
Mindless Entertainment but a Great Movie
2009-11-24 - If you are expecting some form of substance or an actual storyline then this movie isn't for you. If, on the other hand, you just want to turn your brain off for a while and enjoy extremely funny, yet intruiging, skits then this is the movie for you. No lessons to be learned, no happily ever after crap, just some time to sit back and laugh your butt off. Every now and then everyone needs some truly mindless entertainment and this is a movie that you must keep in your collection for that very reason.

DVD is exact copy of VHS
2009-08-30 - 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
2009-07-14 - 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
2009-04-22 - 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.

An old classic- hilarious!!
2009-01-08 - I watched this movie many times when it first came out. If you loved it then, you will love it now!!!
