Summary: Runs its Course
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.

Summary: Sort of funny, slow, and dated
Review: This film is generally described as John Landis' attempt to recreate the experience of watching TV late at night while flipping channels. That's certainly the intent of at least part of the movie, but the pacing and structure is so uneven it's hard to tell exactly what Landis was trying to do. Compared even to crude films like "Kentucky Fried Movie" and "Tunnelvision", "Amazon WOmen..." misses the mark. What we get is bits of an imaginary 1950s sci-fi movie (done exceptionally well, I have to say) interspersed with a series of comedy skits of varying quality. It doesn't like an evening of flipping channels so much as a crabbed together film made to salvage a number of half baked projects. Some of the skits are pretty funny, though none are really side splittingly so. David Allen Grier's spoof featuring "Don 'No Soul' Simmons'" is pretty funny- the first time, at least. Most of the skits are pretty sophmoric and none is terribly witty. Save your money and rent it.

Review: This movie has something for everyone: nudity, violence, bad luck and aerounautics. It's simply hilarious.

Summary: Laugh out loud funny!
Review: This movie is a riot! You will have fun not only laughing at the comedic gags and skits, but you will have fun identifying all of the stars who are in this before they made it big! Michelle Pfeiffer, David Allen Greer, Andrew Dice Clay, just to name a few. Really a great funny movie. Adults only, there is some pretty raicy content! Not a family movie, but funny for those over 18!

Summary: AWOTM Rocks.
Review: This movie is way funny. The humor is a rather stupid humor that kept me laughing throughout the movie. It's really worth watching. !

Summary: Unrelated is the key word
Review: This series of unrelated skits is a hit and miss proposition. 10 minutes of laughter, 75 minutes of waiting for an other chance to laugh... Ed Begley Jr. was such a good actor that you for got the script was not complete or amusing. And Michelle Pfeiffer was almost enough to keep you from taking a break...

Summary: Ha ha ha! I'm invisible!
Review: What words can describe greatness such as this? Genious. Ageless. Priceless. This movie has everything and anything you could possibly imagine, from Andrew Dice Clay in a video nightmare rental or Arsenio Hall being killed by a VCR. This is not viewing for the average individual. No no. This film is made for the extraoridinary people of the world who would watch anything at 4:35 AM. If only channel surfing really was this fun.

Summary: Funny movie, lousy DVD transfer
Review: While the movie is likely to be enjoyed by anybody who likes screwball comedies and biting satire, the quality of the DVD transfer leaves much to be desired. After a slow start, the sketches that comprise "Amazon Women On The Moon", a.k.a. "Kentucky Fried Movie II", pick up speed and reach increasing levels of absurdity, up to a widow's wake which turns into a roast. Steve Guttenberg's experiences with the opposite sex and a seventeen-year old teenager's horrible condom buying experience are painful and extremely funny to watch. By the time Russ Meyer (yes, *that* Russ Meyer) appears as a video store clerk, you have learned to stop worrying about whether this is sub-standard entertainment or not, because the sketches get too funy to care. The whole movie culminates in Carrie Fisher's appearance in an "educational movie", playing a woman with a "social disease". The experience is marred, however, by the poor quality of the DVD transfer. The picture is blurry (this disc has obviously been transferred from video) and the sound is mono. Often enough, horrible compression artifacts appear in the picture, distorting the image beyond recognition. A shame really, since this movie really deserved a better transfer.

Summary: Murray!...What are you doin on the weatha?
Review: Yes, some of this is very much dated, but some makes me laugh every time. Another reviewer made a list of their favorite skits - here's mine.
1. The Wake/Roast "If Harvey was alive today, he'd be a very sick man" Makes me laugh every time
2. Ray & His Video Date "You're cheating days are over street meat" Andrew Dice Clay - Street Meat, haha...
3. Amazon On The Moon, the movie "There goes my lunch" His lunch pail flies up and you can clearly see the string pulling it up, as well as the visual when they blow up the moon
4. Wrong Number "Ain't no f***in' Thelma here man" Arsenio Hall in the only thing aside from Coming To America that I've laughed at.
I can go on with the Son Of The Invisible Man or even the Carrie Fisher social disease Syphilis skit, but I know a lot of you are fans like me. I am happy the second edition of this dvd included the bonus footage of the guy with his dummy - it used to only be aired on the Sunday afternoon TV version, but not on the vhs version.
