Amazon Women on the Moon

I 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!

Although I have seen this movie before I wanted it in my collection of movies and you guys had it so it was wonderful to get it thank you so much. I questioned some of your delivery people because they don't ring my bell when the delivery is coming they just leave it between the two doors and I find that very disconcerting I hope it is corrected thank you

Great comedy that is guaranteed to offend somebody. Makes jokes about everything under the sun, an equal opportunity offender. I miss the old days. Its good to be able to laugh.

Funny at the time, but has not worn well.

It has been over 20 years since I watched this movie so I am looking forward to firing up a big bong and just chillin. If you've seen this classic, you know what I mean... I often vote this title as the funniest movie ever.

I 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.

I loved this movie years ago but it wasn't as funny as I remembered now

Between 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!

If Mel Brooks and Don Chaffey had a child, THIS would be it.

That first sketch is worth the money alone, it's a fantastic film, lots of funny sketches driven along with speed. It's of its era, reminds me of different days, and it's a great film.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I purchased from Amazon.com.au this DVD does not work on Australian DVD players. Very disappointed.
