Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Contrary to popular rumor, this 1987 collection of comedy skits is not about a group of female employees from Amazon.com on a mission to the lunar surface. It's a series of unrelated spoofs and sketches designed to resemble an aimless night of TV channel-surfing, and the satirical targets include grade-Z science fiction films of the 1950s, sex films of the 1930s, hospital soap operas, and Playboy video centerfolds. There's a charity drive in which legendary bluesman B.B. King pleas for donations to help 'Blacks Without Soul,' and Ed Begley Jr. thinks he's the son of the Invisible Man, which would be fine if he weren't as visible as everyone else. The various sketches feature an all-star cast including Rosanna Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Carrie Fisher, Michelle Pfeiffer, the late Phil Hartman in an early role, and many others. It's strictly hit-or-miss, and many of the sketches fall flat, especially since the subjects being spoofed (the title sketch is a send-up of the actual 1954 movie Cat Women on the Moon) are funny enough without being satirized. Even though Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide describes most of the sketches as 'astonishingly unfunny,' this can be a very amusing movie if you're in the mood for a no-brainer with a lot of familiar Hollywood faces. Now a modest little cult film, it's the kind of disposable entertainment that maintains its appeal almost in spite of itself. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Stupid & funny
Saw this movie years ago and thought it was great, stupid but great. We laughed through the entire movie. The amount of big name stars in this movie is amazing. This is a good Saturday night movie for anyone in the mood for old fashioned laughs.
Rating: - Hilarious
was so glad to see it on dvd. This movie allways gets laughs out of my wife and I. A must see.
Rating: - NONSENSE WAS NEVER SO FUN!
Balderdash doesn't get much better than this! Imagine 84 minutes of good Saturday Night Live episodes strung together and you have some idea of what's in store for you in Amazon Women.. These small segments are strung together by a Late Night "B" movie (Amazon Women On The Moon) that keeps getting interuputed by advertisements (which are themselves skits) due to 'technical difficulties'. It doesn't take long to get interested in this picture if you have a mind for parody and humor along the lines ... Read More
Rating:  - Too Little Too Late
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can appreciate satire and comedy skits but this collection of skits surrounding snippets of a campy space movie just doesn't work. Individually some of the skits are good or at least mildly amusing; like "Two IDs" starring Rosanna Arquette and Steve Guttenberg about a fact checking machine that does a history analysis of a man's dating history to let user's know if he's a good candidate. Or Ed Begley Jr. as the "Son of the Invisible Man" who doesn't realize ... Read More

a fit of nostalgia meant this movie ended up on my doorstep. it's a very entertaining trip through early '80's cable TV and features some really funny cameos.
