Amazon Women on the Moon is a 1987 film written by comedy duo Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland. The film is a compilation of twenty-one comedy skits of various lengths by a group of highly regarded directors. Many of the segments are parodies of late-night television and low-budget movies from the 1950s and 1960s, meant to simulate an insomniac's channel surfing through late-night television, before finally settling on one late-late-late-late movie (and suffering through the commercials). Some of the skits are in black and white, including the "Reckless Youth" parody of Sex Madness .

p:abstract
  • Amazon Women on the Moon is a 1987 film written by comedy duo Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland. The film is a compilation of twenty-one comedy skits of various lengths by a group of highly regarded directors. Many of the segments are parodies of late-night television and low-budget movies from the 1950s and 1960s, meant to simulate an insomniac's channel surfing through late-night television, before finally settling on one late-late-late-late movie (and suffering through the commercials). Some of the skits are in black and white, including the "Reckless Youth" parody of Sex Madness . Joe Dante proposed the title The Greatest Movie Ever Made, in order that the advertising could quote critics citing the title, but the idea was rejected by the other filmmakers. The film pays tribute to some actual black and white "B" sci-fi movies of the 1950s with planets full of dangerous females, notably Cat-Women of the Moon, Queen of Outer Space, and Missile to the Moon . The following directors filmed one or more of the segments: Joe Dante Carl Gottlieb Peter Horton John Landis Robert K. WeissLandis also directed The Kentucky Fried Movie, a 1977 release that used the same anthology/faux broadcast format of Amazon Women. An in-joke title card for the film within a film Amazon Women on the Moon names Samuel L. Bronkowitz as director, who is credited as producer for several of the film parodies in Kentucky Fried Movie. The film contains performances by some actors known for appearing in B-movies such as Jenny Agutter, Sybil Danning and Lana Clarkson. It also includes a number of then largely unknown actors who would later achieve stardom such as Ed Begley, Jr., Arsenio Hall, Joe Pantoliano, Rosanna Arquette, Kelly Preston and David Alan Grier as Don "No Soul" Simmons, as well as Michelle Pfeiffer and Steve Guttenberg. There are appearances by B.B. King, television star Roxie Roker, Firesign Theatre's Phil Proctor and cult film director Russ Meyer. Los Angeles radio personality Al Lohman played the part of a film critic and was credited as simply "Lohman". Henry Silva appeared as himself as the host of the show within a show "Bullshit or Not?": a parody of In Search of... and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Monique Gabrielle spoofed her Penthouse Pet status in the "Pethouse Video" segment in which she does everything in the nude, including going supermarket shopping, to art museums, and to church. (en)
