3.0 out of 5 stars
Funny movie, lousy DVD transfer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Amazon Women of the Moon (DVD)
While the movie is likely to be enjoyed by anybody who likes screwball comedies and biting satire, the quality of the DVD transfer leaves much to be desired.After a slow start, the sketches that comprise "Amazon Women On The Moon", a.k.a. "Kentucky Fried Movie II", pick up speed and reach increasing levels of absurdity, up to a widow's wake which turns into a roast. Steve Guttenberg's experiences with the opposite sex and a seventeen-year old teenager's horrible condom buying experience are painful and extremely funny to watch. By the time Russ Meyer (yes, *that* Russ Meyer) appears as a video store clerk, you have learned to stop worrying about whether this is sub-standard entertainment or not, because the sketches get too funy to care. The whole movie culminates in Carrie Fisher's appearance in an "educational movie", playing a woman with a "social disease". The experience is marred, however, by the poor quality of the DVD transfer. The picture is blurry (this disc has obviously been transferred from video) and the sound is mono. Often enough, horrible compression artifacts appear in the picture, distorting the image beyond recognition. A shame really, since this movie really deserved a better transfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Hilarious spoof of movies and TV of the '50's - '80's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Amazon Women on the Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)
From a nude playmate attending church with mom and dad, to Don "No Soul" Simmons crooning "Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree" this movie has something to tickle the funny bone of anyone who's ever questioned where American culture's headed (or where it's been, for that matter). The disparate snippets of stories are loosely tied together by a late- late-night movie (called -surprise! - 'Amazon Women on the Moon') and by a hapless wanderer who remotes himself into all the action (the weakest element of the movie). Best viewed late at night with good buddies who share your slightly off-center sense of humor; wear a seat belt or you might hurt yourself when you fall out of your chair laughing.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Missing Some Stuff!!!,
By Chris (Dayton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazon Women on the Moon - Collector's Edition (DVD)
Okay, first time reviewer here, but I had to share this bit. First, I give the movie itself 5 stars - it is one of my favorites. About this DVD, however... Just bought it and briefly went through a couple of skits (I have them all memorized already) and I noticed a glarring error on the 'Hair Looming' skit - it has been edited/shortened!!! They totally cut out the part where they demonstrate how the hair stays on after the guy jumps of the cliffs of Acculpoco and the police drag his body to the shore and smile because the hair stayed on. (sp?). Why??? That was one of the funniest parts! I think there are a couple of other small omisions in there too - need to go all through it again, but the point is while a fantastic movie, they cut stuff out! I don't get it. If this is the only way to see the movie however (as my VHS copy broke recently), I guess it will have to do.
