Most of this film is highly enjoyable, but it's just too bad and a bit of a shame that a more G or PG rated version didn't make it to the theatre (the broadcast version lacks some punch).Here's the thing I like about this film, it's essentially an emulation of a male sitting at home, late at night channel surfing (or flipping the dial, for those of us who remember having to reach for the set to change channels). The film has one mockery after another of late night television or scene from everyday ordinary life, with another send up of a 1950s like B-movie classic to tie the whole thing together.The topless / naked girls are there primarily for the teenage and college age males, but don't really add a whole lot to the film as a whole. But, your tastes may vary.There are a lot of brilliant moments here in this film, and some tiring ones depending on how risqué you prefer your entertainment. It's not a family film, though it could have been, but is more or less a film for the single guys who grew up or came of age in the 1980s. Yes, it's a bit dated for that kind of statement to describe it, but it fits.Odds are you've seen it, but if you haven't, then at least see it once with some male friends.Quite a bit of swearing, nudity, sex, not a family film, but still kind of funny.

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!"

Many have compared this to the Kentucky Fried Movie, and while that IS an apt comparison, this runs more like the Grindhouse version of comedy. Also, there are so many versions of this particular work out there, I'm finding it difficult to rate the work. There is a sexier (and subsequently naughtier) version, which appears to be more a theatrical release, while the cleaner version includes skits left out of the racier version, which are not as funny as the "adult" skits they replace.Whichever version you watch, however, there is a ton of entertainment to be found. Whether you're in the market for a condom or trying to watch the nonexistent movie through numerous breaks, this is entertaining.I like it, though once you've seen it, you've seen it.It rates a 6.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

(Note: Over 500 of my movie reviews are now available in my book "Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I Can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote!" Get it at Amazon.)The opening skit "Apartment Victim" with Arsenio Hall is pure slapstick--not my favorite comedy type but for some reason I found it hilarious. I just cracked up on all the mishaps and the great timing by Arsenio and the cameras. The way the video cassette shoots back out of the player and hits him and knocks him over was just so funny; and the way the TV blows up when he hits the remote was a crack up. Which reminds me, Confucius says "Woman who flies upside down has hairy crack up." (Sorry about that.) Anyway, I also liked David Alan Grier as Don (No Soul) Simmons in the segment "Blacks without Soul." The Laurence Welk way he sang the Broadway show type tunes was just a riot. I also liked the skit featuring Rosanna Arquette, "Two I.D.'s" in which she takes the prospective date's credit cards and two forms of ID to investigate what kind of guy he is on a date.I also kind of liked the comedic roast at the wake in "Roast your loved one." Kind of. The jokes ranged from funny but old to lame-o.The overall shtick of this being a TV late night movie show was also good--the idea, anyway. The featured movie "Amazon Women on the Moon" (actually this was a skit too; no such movie exists although one wonders why), which spoofs 50s cheapo sci-fi flicks was so, so very bad as to almost be campy--but not quite. It was frankly just bad bad, and a little on the very cognitively challenged side, that is to say, dumb.Overall this was a lot funnier than might be expected, at least for me, but then again I have actually watched most of the episodes of "Married with Children" although I would never admit it.
