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.

This series of unrelated skits is a hit-and-miss proposition. There are 10 minutes of laughter, and 75 minutes of waiting for another chance to laugh.
There are nudies and Nessies, roaming up your A-rsenio Halls. Lana Clarkson as Alpha Beta got my gamma globulin. Ed Begley Jr. was such a good actor that you forgot the script was not complete or amusing. And Michelle Pfeiffer was almost enough to keep you from taking a break. The soundtrack would be more amusing.
The directors are Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, and Peter Horton.
The writers, Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland
Watching “Cat Women of the Moon" (1953) is more satisfying.
