Very disappointing...

Beautiful, moving film.

A Masterpiece!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

While it's not as outrageously over-the-top as KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON indeed has its moments. It's a minor thing, but the opening credit sequence had me smiling ("Starring: Lots of people..."). Unfortunately, the opening skit is easily the least of the offerings this time around- but, if you can make it through it, there are rewards to be had. Henry Silva's deadpan delivery makes BULLSHIT- OR NOT? one of my favorite segments: finding out the "truth" about Jack the Ripper is worth the price of admission. It was great to see the late William Marshall (BLACULA himself) as the leader of a band of VIDEO PIRATES (who Tape and Pillage) and the black and white sequel to THE INVISIBLE MAN, SON OF THE INVISIBLE MAN, was as inspired as YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Another highlight was seeing the late Forrest J. Ackerman as The President in AMAZON WOMEN ON/OF THE MOON. The "roast" of the dead man was chock full of classic comedians who were still capable of "killin' 'em" even that late in the day. "Miracle Pictures: If it's GOOD, it's a Miracle!"

This is a mostly funny sketch comedy movie with some hits and some misses that obviously will divide the audience. The two sketches that are total stinkers: - Rosanna Arquette and Steve Guttenberg sketch about a woman running a different kind of credit check on a blind date. This was my least favorite sketch. Up until this point, I was laughing steadily at the movie but here I didn't laugh once. Really derailed the movie's momentum. - The comedy roast funeral with a lot of old comics like Steve Allen and Rip Taylor. Terribly unfunny and it goes on forever. Very painful to sit through.The funniest sketches: - Opening sketch with Arsenio Hall as an accident-prone man having the worst day ever in his apartment. Lots of old school slapstick comedy that won't be to everyone's tastes but I laughed out loud through the whole thing. - The Pethouse Video sketch mocking vacuous centerfolds. In addition to being funny, it features the gorgeous Monique Gabrielle walking around naked the whole sketch. - Henry Silva sketch mocking In Search Of type shows - A man has his life reviewed like a movie by two Siskel & Ebert-type critics - Son of the Invisible Man - Teenager trying to buy condoms with frustrating results - Video date sketch with Marc McClure - Amazon Women on the Moon sketch that lovingly mocks 50s sci-fi. This one runs throughout the film and is very amusing, particularly if you're a fan of those types of films. - Another running gag: Lou Jacobi as a man zapped into his television and appears in various sketches throughout the movie looking for helpAs you can see, there's more good than bad. The rest of the sketches in the film are brief but chuckle-worthy. The only two that are absolutely terrible are the ones I listed above. Make sure you sit through the credits for the Reefer Madness spoof with Carrie Fisher and Paul Bartel. It's worth it.

The various sketches with a large assortment of personalties is a real hit or miss affair. The BB King segment is definitely the best. The other parts are funny or boring depending on the viewers tastes. The interruptions of the space voyage add little to the movie. Yes the space voyage interrupts the various sketches although the intent is to have it the other way around. Arsenio Hall's segment and the seductive women segment are also fairly entertaining. But as with the awful " Tunnelvision" and the fairly acceptable "Groove Tube" one has to pick and choose what they like. The space voyage segments should have been funnier to complement the sketches.

This is a theatrical release motion picture that features 25 sketches, some connecting, some totally random. It's supposed to give you the feel of channel surfing through old movies, commercials for stupid products and just some funny random stuff. It's presented by John Landis and he also directed several of the segments, in this sequel (?) to 1977's "Kentucky Fried Movie".The main stories are "Amazon Women on the Moon", which is a cheap 1950's sci-fi movie that is purposely as cheesy as possible. "Blacks With No Souls" is another storyline that comes in several times in the movie, about Don Simmons who is a souless black singer that's just all to stupid. "Bullsh*t or Not?" is a reinacment fact or fiction type show hosted by Henry Silva. In the episode in this film he ponders if Jack the Ripper was really the Loch Ness monster and if the Titanic was real or not."Murray in TV Land" is about old man Murray getting trapped in his TV and getting changed from channel to channel and is a running gag in the film.The other sketches include Arsenio Hall having a bad day when he gets totally massacred in his apartment by freak accidents. A sketch about a Playhouse Plaything and he she survives in life...fully naked. An invisible man that's not so invisible. Joe Pantalino as a hair loss victim. It's pretty easy to get into the sketches. It just feels good for some reason to channel flip through a bunch of random and stupid stuff. Some say it's not funny, because the stuff on their is actually the kind of lame junk you would fin on TV, but the humor is there, and it's funny. I totally recommend this especially with friends.My rating: 3/4 stars. 84 mins. rated R for full frontal nudity, sexuality, some violence and brief language.
