Summary: An irreverent and raunchy foray into the world of late-night television spoofing such media phenomena as infomercials, charity drives, tabloid shockers, late-night porn, and sci-fi movies from the 1950s, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON is a riotous collection of sight gags, double entendres, and general wackiness in the tradition of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and THE GROOVE TUBE. Nothing is sacred in this star-studded vehicle that pokes fun at many of these television wonders. Anyone who has spent an evening channel surfing can relate to the hysterical formatting of these skits. The crazy sketches include Mondo Condo, starring Arsenio Hall as a victim of his own apartment; and Blacks Without Soul, with B.B. King making an outrageous plea to help the black people in the U.S.A born without soul. Infomercials for hair looming and Silly Pate, Tastes Great! Bounces High! are interspersed between the main feature, the late-night movie Amazon Women on the Moon, a hilarious spoof of cheap 1950s sci-fi movies featuring outrageous sets and costumes. This hysterical farce is packed with celebrity performances and in-your-face satire that mocks a wide variety of pop-culture entertainment.
