The 1987 portmanteau comedy feature Amazon Women on the Moon lampoons several film genres in general and the 1954 sci-fi cheapie
Cat Women of the Moon in particular. Other sketches in
Amazon Women include an opening bit with
Arsenio Hall; a vignette titled "Son of the Invisible Man" wherein a naked Ed Begley Jr. runs around in full view of the nonplussed supporting cast; the
It's Alive parody "Hospital", which offers the spectacle of
Michelle Pfeiffer giving birth to Mr. Potato Head; and a Siskel & Ebert takeoff, featuring Arche Hahn as a TV viewer whose entire life is given a "thumbs down." Directed by several hands, including
Joe Dante, Carl Gottleib,
Peter Horton, John Landis, and Robert K. Weiss, Amazon Women on the Moon also features a satire of the Kroger G. Babb school of "sex hygiene" exploitation cheapies, with syphilis victim
Carrie Fisher being counseled by unctuous doctor
Paul Bartel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
