Product Description
Amazon Women on the Moon is a madcap send-up of late-night TV, low-budget sci-fi films and canned-laughter-filled sitcoms packed with off-the-wall sketches that will have you in stitches. Centered around a television station which features a 1950s-style sci-fi movie interspersed with a series of wild commercials, wacky shorts and weird specials, this lampoon of contemporary life and pop culture skewers some of the silliest spectacles ever created in the name of entertainment. Co-directed by Joe Dante, John Landis, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton and Robert K. Weiss; and written by Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland. The hilarious cast includes Steve Allen, Rosanna Arquette, Belinda Balaski, Paul Bartel, Ralph Bellamy, Ed Begley Jr., T.K. Carter, Sybil Danning, Griffin Dunne, Carrie Fisher, Steve Forrest, Monique Gabrielle, Donald Gibb, David Alan Grier, Steve Guttenberg, Arsenio Hall, Phil Hartman, Howard Hesseman, Peter Horton, Lou Jacobi, B.B. King, Mike Mazurki, Russ Meyer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joe Pantoliano, Kelly Preston, Henry Silva, Rip Taylor and Henny Youngman. This truly outrageous look at the best of the worst that television has to offer is presented here in a special edition loaded with extras.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024Dang! Forgot i bought it lol!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024I hadn't seen this in a couple of decades and finally bought it again. And it was as exceptional as I remembered, keeping me laughing thru the entire viewing. The humor is best suited for older people who can relate to some of the references or parodies, but almost anyone can appreciate the wacky humor here. The DVD itself is pretty basic, but the movie is brilliant and funny and vastly under-known. There are segments or scenes that are standalone but several stories come and go, only to pop up again later. This collection of crazy scenes are written and directed by some pretty famous names. Look up the details and then order it. You won't be disappointed!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022I could spend a whole day writing about the greatness of this inventive and comedy, but suffice it say this: it’s just plain hilarious.
Tons of big names appear throughout. It’s a series of comic sketches, some stand-alone and some interconnected and/or featured in reprisals. David Alan Grier as Don “No Soul” Simmons is one for the ages. Not every single element sticks the landing (a commercial for “Silly Pate” is… well, pretty silly) but some of these are remarkably prescient. The dating history machine bit with Rosanna Arquette and Steve Gutenberg uncannily predicts Google. The Siskel and Ebert spoof, in which two film critics review the life of an ordinary citizen utilizing hidden camera footage of his everyday life, predicts our obsession with “reality shows.”
I could go on and on but mostly this is just flat out funny stuff. The title comes from a recurring spoof of ‘50s sci-fi movies that just never gets old. I’ve seen this movie probably 20 times and still laugh throughout. Worth getting on Blu-ray and love the extra features, too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Back in the late 80s / early 90s, this used to be a staple on TV after the New Years Eve programming. So 1 or 2 in the morning, I always watched this movie. It was outrageously funny. Then it disappeared for years and I nearly forgot about it. When I did think of it, I couldn't find it anywhere. Then this NYE, something made me think of it again. Couldn't find it streaming anywhere. But now 30 years later, I'm looking forward to watching it again.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017Between the introduction of cable TV and the disappearance of the "veractor" (knob) tuner on the set came this zesty 1987 spoof of the television medium. An honest working guy (Arsenio Hall), returning home after a rough day at work, decides to veg out in front of the tube. Unfortunately for him, and happily for us, he loses control of what he sees. AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON is for anyone who has fallen asleep in front of the set and awakened to wonder WHAT the heck is going on . . . in this case a trashy Fifties sci-fi flick, "Amazon Women on the Moon" (based on a real Fifties movie starring Zsa Zsa Gabor), which alternates with practically the whole of our culture, in comic form, with all its capacity for schlock and awe. A flock of terrific actors like Patricia Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lou Jacobi, Bryan Cranston and Steve Guttenberg lend their talents to this uninhibited and occasionally profane production, with fake commercials and TV junk like "Titan Man" alternating with the lunar lovelies. Surprisingly, the kind of unfair fare broadcast TV tosses at us hasn't changed that much in the last thirty years. If you like to laugh (and observe the "R" rating), this one is for you. The price is currently so low that the DVD is worth it just for David Alan Grier singing "Blame It On the Bossa Nova" as the poor African-American entertainer who has NO soul. A winner!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2024Not sure this will be a funny movie for a younger audience but this is up there with Airplane and Kentucky Fried Movie. It's a fun romp!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2005... a black person is born in this country with no soul?" That's a line from on of the better skits in this film. As much as I'd hate to admit it, I'd have to agree with Leonard Maltin in his describing most of the bits in the film Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) as being `unfunny'. There are a handful worth looking for, which I'll mention later, but the majority just aren't that good. In case you've never heard of this film, it's not a 1950's science fiction film, or even a spoof of a 1950's science fiction film (although there is a lengthy sketch contained within the film that is), but a series of parody sketches similar to other films like The Groove Tube (1974), The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), and, to a lesser extent Mr. Mike's Mondo Video (1979), It Came from Hollywood (1982) and the short lived, early 80's television series `Likely Stories'. The various segments feature direction by individuals like Joe Dante (Gremlins), Carl Gottlieb (Caveman), John Landis (Animal House), and Robert K. Weiss, producer of such films as The Kentucky Fried Movie and The Blues Brothers. The film features a number of actors including, but not limited to, Arsenio Hall (Coming to America), Michelle Pfeiffer (Married to the Mob), Griffin Dunne (After Hours), Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix), Joey Travolta, older brother to the much more famous John Travolta, who does not appear in this film, Sybil Danning (Chained Heat), David Alan Grier (Jumanji), B.B. King, Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan), Steve Guttenberg (Police Academy), Belinda Balaski (The Howling), Robert Picardo (Small Soldiers), Ed Begley Jr. (This Is Spinal Tap), Kelly Preston (Mischief), Dick Miller (Rock 'n' Roll High School), Howard Hesseman (Doctor Detroit), Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), and Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul).
Of the many segments in the film, there were about five that stood out as ranging from moderately funny to hilarious. `Roast Your Loved Ones' featured a skit about a service that roasts the dearly departed creating a rather lively and entertaining wake, employing comedians like Rip Taylor, Slappy White, Jackie Vernon, Henny Youngman, Charlie Callas (was this guy ever funny?), and Steve Allen. It's wonderful seeing these older comics doing their schtick, riffing on not only the recently dead, but each other, especially since as I write this four of them have since passed on...the next segment worth looking for was the bit titled `Son of the Invisible Man' featuring Ed Begley Jr. as the title character. Believing he's recreated his father's formula, he prances around playing pranks and such, but in reality, he's not invisible, just naked, and the folks sort of go along with the idea, humoring him. This bit works especially well if you've actually seen the original 1933 Invisible Man film featuring Claude Rains, directed by James Whale. The 3rd bit I enjoyed was titled `Titan Man' and involves a young man and what happens when he tries to buy condoms from the local pharmacy. The 4th was a bit played after the credits, featuring Paul Bartel and Carrie Fisher, titled `Reckless Youth' and was a parody of those health films release back in the 50's intended to frighten viewers away from `immoral' activities by showing the harsh and tragic consequences surely to result and often uses words or phrases like unclean, impure, sinful ways, secret shame, social diseases, and shameful affliction. Finally, my favorite segment of the film was actually a few short segments that comprised a running gag throughout the film, the first being a commercial where B.B. King laments on the alarming condition of `Blacks Without Soul', and features some of the funniest bits as we see various examples of African Americans who truly have `no soul'. The stand out here is David Alan Grier as a black singer who croons the most white bread tunes imaginable, completely bereft of any soul. He then appears in a couple of more commercial segments later on as Don 'No Soul' Simmons, promoting albums featuring his particular take on popular songs including `Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree' and `Joy To The World'.
It seems liked producer Robert K. Weiss and director John Landis tried to revisit the comic greatness of The Kentucky Fried Movie, which they also produced and directed respectively, but they neglected to bring back one critical element in that of the writers Jim Abrahams, and the Zuckers (David and Jerry), the men responsible for such hits as Airplane! (1980), Top Secret! (1984), and The Naked Gun (1988). Writers Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland are certainly accomplished in their own right, both having previously worked on such shows like "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and "Mary Tyler Moore", but they lacked the edge Abrahams and the Zuckers brought to The Kentucky Fried Movie. Subsequently what you have here is a series of lukewarm bits propped up by few, pretty good scenes. There are a couple of scenes involving former Penthouse Pets Monique `36D-25-37' Gabrielle (Munchie) and Corinne `37-23-36' Wahl (Spring Break) getting all nekkid (not together), so that sure didn't hurt (hence, the main reason for the R rating)...the film flowed along alright, but it was weird when it kicked into the credits after about an hour and fifteen minutes, and I found myself saying, `Damn, that film was short'...and then after the credits there was that last skit entitled `Reckless Youth', which ran about ten minutes, stretching the overall runtime to about 1 hour and 25 minutes. They do have Don `No Soul' Simmons singing over the end credits so audiences would probably keep watching and catch this last sketch, but if not, keep in mind it's there.
The wide screen anamorphic (1.85:1) looks very good on this DVD, and the Dolby Digital Mono 2.0 English comes though relatively well throughout. Special features include some deleted and alternate scenes, an original theatrical trailer, outtakes, and some recommendations (basically for other John Landis films).

5.0 out of 5 stars Irrepetible
Debo advertir de antemano que el DVD es de otra región (1) y por tanto no he podido aún verlo. Mi valoración de la película es por las miles de veces que la veíamos en casa después de grabarla en una cinta de VHS tras verla por primera vez en Canal+. Cada vez que la veíamos no podíamos parar de reírnos. La hemos estado buscando sin demasiada suerte hasta ahora, así que este DVD, aunque de otra región, es la mejor opción que hemos encontrado. Con un reparto de lujo, es una película absolutamente recomendable para quienes, como nosotros, adoren el humor absurdo.

5.0 out of 5 stars a ne pas manquer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alors que j'habitais à los angeles, je rentre un soir du boulo, allume la télé et tombe sur ce film.
Je n'ai jamais autant rie de ma vie et l'ai chaudement recommandé à Mel Brooks lorsqu'il est venu diner au restaurant où je travaillais accompagné de sa femme. Je lui ai dévoilé quelques gags et nous nous sommes marés toute la soirée.
MEMORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
