	Movies - Amazon Women on the Moon

Amazon Women on the Moon is a 1987 film written by comedy duo Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland.

The film is a compilation of twenty-one comedy skits of various lengths by a group of highly regarded directors. Many of the segments are parodies of late-night television and low-budget movies from the 1950s. Some of the skits are in black and white.

The following directors filmed one or more of the segments:

Joe Dante
Carl Gottlieb
Peter Horton
John Landis
Robert K. Weiss

Landis, incidentally, also directed Kentucky Fried Movie, a 1977 release that used the same anthology/faux broadcast format of Amazon Women.

The film contains performances by some actors known for appearing in B-movies such as Jenny Agutter and Sybil Danning. It also includes a number of largely unknown actors, some of whom would go on to achieve stardom. These include Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joe Pantoliano, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Guttenberg, Kelly Preston and David Alan Grier. There are cameos by B.B. King and cult film director Russ Meyer. Los Angeles radio personality Al Lohman played the part of a film critic and was credited as simply "Lohman."

The title sketch "Amazon Women on the Moon" is presented as a late night B-Movie feature that suffers from technical breakdowns and is interspersed with the other sketches.
