1987 - AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, not to funny spoof of genre films

Pretty poor, a rehash of The Kentucky Fried Movie by people who should have been able to make this thing a WHOLE lot funnier. A very interesting cast was completely let down by a creative group behind the camera who should have been able to get the job done. Even the nudity ( and there is a lot of it) was extremely boring.  
 

THE CREATIVE TEAM

Joe Dante: He's made a career studying and speaking about cult and camp movies he should have been able to knock this out of the park with his eyes closed. Probably the only good section in the movie was "Reckless Youth". But even this wasn't as funny as "Reefer Madness".


John Landis: He's known for his admiration of movies that mix genres such as "Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein". He at times seems to have a sense of humor and he tries to incorporate traditions of slapstick and violence in his movies. However he didn't have one funny segment in the entire movie. His preoccupation with women running around topless is kind of disconcerting.

Carl Gottlieb: Is a veteran screenwriter, He wrote "Jaws". His segment "Son of the Invisible Man" was probably the funniest.


Peter Horton: Is an actor, director and production executive. He directed a couple of segments and starred in the very lame hospital scene with a very young Michelle Pfeiffer who was big time paying her dues.

Robert K Weiss: The real auteur. Is the producer of, (Superhero Movie, Scary Movie 4, Scary Movie 3). Michael Barrie: A writer for David Letterman for many years.

Jim Mulholland: A writer for David Letterman and Johnny Carson.

Running time, 85 minutes.
