Summary: this sucked
Review: If this is a cult film, I do not want to be a member of that cult. Somewhere along the line I must've read a review that praised this bore-fest and I'm sorry that I did. Don't waste your time.

Summary: "Why do Jewish guys die before their wives? They want to."
Review: In 1987, a group of five directors (Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, John Landis and Robert Weiss) worked together to create a silly spoof of 1950's sci-fi films called "Amazon Women on the Moon". Each director focused on specific segments of the film to create the illusion that the audience is watching the fictitious film "Amazon Women on the Moon" from the 1950's interspersed with television commercials and other segments. Some of the main segments in the film include the following:
1. "Amazon Women on the Moon" with Capt. Nelson (Steve Forrest), Blackie (Robert Colbert), Butch (Joey Travolta), Queen Lara (Sybil Danning) and Alpha Beta (Lana Clarkson). This segment follows the astronauts traveling to the moon and finding a group of beautiful women living there.
2. "Murray in Videoland" with Murray (Lou Jacobi) and Selma (Erica Yohn). Murray gets more than he expected after purchasing a new TV.
3. "Mondo Condo" with an apartment victim played by Arsenio Hall. Arsenio gets a few surprises in his apartment.
4. "Hospital" with Brenda (Michelle Pfeiffer), Harry (Peter Horton), Doctor (Griffin Dunne) and the nurse (Brian Ann Zoccola). Not a hospital you would want to be in.
5. "Blacks Without Soul" with Don 'No Soul' Simmons (David Alan Grier) and B.B. King as himself. Funny spoofs of songs.
6. "Roast Your Loved One" with Harvey Pitnik (Archie Hahn), Bernice Pitnik (Belinda Balaski), Rick Raddnitz (Robert Picardo), Rip Taylor as himself, Slappy White as himself, Jackie Vernon as himself, Henny Youngman as himself, Charlie Callas as himself and Steve Allan as himself. Some silly jokes, but no great acting.With such a huge cast, it's no wonder that the beginning credits only say "A lot of actors" instead of listing each one by name. Of the various segments, the ones listed above are the ones that I enjoyed the most. Since the film is intended to be segmented, having different directors control different segments is beneficial to the film instead of a hindrance. Being a spoof, the acting is intended to be silly, and that's how the film comes across. Overall, I rate "Amazon Women on the Moon" with 3 out of 5 stars. I don't necessarily recommend purchase of the film on DVD, but it's certainly worth being rented if you have never seen it.

Summary: Send this one to the moon, Alice!
Review: In the Kentucky Fried Movie mode, but considerably worse. Seek out real amazons on Earth instead; they're a lot more fun and less
painful.

Summary: Great comedy in the tradition of Monty Python
Review: Not what I would call the greatest comedy that I have ever seen, but definitley one that you should not pass up. The first time I saw it, I had no idea what it was about until I caught on that the joke was exactly that. The entire movie is about seemingly meaningless, and odd occurences that are falling down halarious. Part of the humor can also be seen in how low the budget of this movie had to be. It will forever live on in the tradition of the ninteen eighties, but its humor will be timeless. Two of the movies funniest scenes can be desribed as follows: Young tenage boy, nervous about buying condoms gets award for one milionth customer-------An early Arsenio Hall comes home and goes through an incredibly funny series of bad experiences

Summary: Missing Some Stuff!!!
Review: Okay, first time reviewer here, but I had to share this bit. First, I give the movie itself 5 stars - it is one of my favorites. About this DVD, however... Just bought it and briefly went through a couple of skits (I have them all memorized already) and I noticed a glarring error on the 'Hair Looming' skit - it has been edited/shortened!!! They totally cut out the part where they demonstrate how the hair stays on after the guy jumps of the cliffs of Acculpoco and the police drag his body to the shore and smile because the hair stayed on. (sp?). Why??? That was one of the funniest parts! I think there are a couple of other small omisions in there too - need to go all through it again, but the point is while a fantastic movie, they cut stuff out! I don't get it. If this is the only way to see the movie however (as my VHS copy broke recently), I guess it will have to do.

Summary: Hit and Miss
Review: The film has a handful of hilarious sketches, but a lot which miss altogether or which are mildly amusing and go on too long. The array of famous names which appear in this is baffling. The DVD is disappointing, being in full screen format with no extras to speak of.

Summary: BS or not!
Review: The TV/movie spoof genre met its inglorious end with this mess of generally unfunny skits that are excrutiating long. The skits wrap around a spoof of a 1950's style science fiction movie (the title, with Steve Forrest in the starring role). Perhaps this movie might have worked better had it just been a sci-fi spoof but it is bogged down by weak and unfunny bits. For example, there is the naked girl in church (ha ha) and the Steve Guttenberg/Rosanna Arquette sketch about a device that checks out men before a women dates them. There is also a sketch with Michelle Pfeiffer and Peter Horton as new parents, and Griffin Dunne as a doctor who has lost their baby. There is also a dreadfully unfunny sketch at then end of the movie with Carrie Fisher as a patient with social disease. Other semi-celebrities make an appearance. David Allen Greer is Don "No Soul" Simmons, with B.B. King later appearing to plead for donations for a "Blacks Without Soul" charity. Aresnio Halls appears as a man coming home to a series of mishaps (generally stolen from a similar routine in Naked Gun). And there is Lou Jacobi as a man in his underwear being zapped all over TV with his remote control. Since this genre was done better in Tunnelvision and Kentucky Fried Movie, it is suggested that you seek those out instead of this very tired debacle.
