Wow! Such a good movie.

Simply A Masterpiece

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

While this is really Kentucky Fried Movie Part 2, I think it's much better.I'm sure it's because I have recently watched hundreds of old sci-fi movies and have never seen a Bruce Lee movie.I get all the sci-fi references.The out of shape, middle aged leading man, the dumb guy with the New York accent, they nailed it.They do get carried away on all the fake film damage but it's funny.One thing I forgot when I was reviewing Kentucky Fried was that these guys ripped off SCTV.It's the same thing.I thought maybe SCTV did the stealing but I just checked and it started a year before KFM came out.About the exact amount of time needed to rip off a hot new idea.Anyway, if you are familiar with old sci-fi movies you will enjoy this.If not, you might want to pass.

There's no subtlety with "Amazon Women on the Moon"; a lot of the gags are on-the-nose and sometimes I actually wanted to shake my head for laughing. But I think the key here is the execution. For starters, just look at the cast on this thing. It's one name actor after another, and I don't think there's a weakness among them. Also, the subject matter (late-night TV) seems ripe for parody; it lends itself to the movie's shameless mix of ribald and farcical. But more important than all of this is the ability to surprise. My favorite segment (aside from Arsenio Hall's being systematically attacked by his own apartment) is Don "No Soul" Simmons:"Did you know that every seven minutes, a black person is born in this country without soul?"It wouldn't be a stretch to say that David Alan Grier walks away with this movie. There's just something about this that works; it's consistently funny, the bits are largely memorable, and it's got John Landis' fingerprints all over it. Sold! 8/10

Many have compared this to the Kentucky Fried Movie, and while that IS an apt comparison, this runs more like the Grindhouse version of comedy. Also, there are so many versions of this particular work out there, I'm finding it difficult to rate the work. There is a sexier (and subsequently naughtier) version, which appears to be more a theatrical release, while the cleaner version includes skits left out of the racier version, which are not as funny as the "adult" skits they replace.Whichever version you watch, however, there is a ton of entertainment to be found. Whether you're in the market for a condom or trying to watch the nonexistent movie through numerous breaks, this is entertaining.I like it, though once you've seen it, you've seen it.It rates a 6.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

This is a theatrical release motion picture that features 25 sketches, some connecting, some totally random. It's supposed to give you the feel of channel surfing through old movies, commercials for stupid products and just some funny random stuff. It's presented by John Landis and he also directed several of the segments, in this sequel (?) to 1977's "Kentucky Fried Movie".The main stories are "Amazon Women on the Moon", which is a cheap 1950's sci-fi movie that is purposely as cheesy as possible. "Blacks With No Souls" is another storyline that comes in several times in the movie, about Don Simmons who is a souless black singer that's just all to stupid. "Bullsh*t or Not?" is a reinacment fact or fiction type show hosted by Henry Silva. In the episode in this film he ponders if Jack the Ripper was really the Loch Ness monster and if the Titanic was real or not."Murray in TV Land" is about old man Murray getting trapped in his TV and getting changed from channel to channel and is a running gag in the film.The other sketches include Arsenio Hall having a bad day when he gets totally massacred in his apartment by freak accidents. A sketch about a Playhouse Plaything and he she survives in life...fully naked. An invisible man that's not so invisible. Joe Pantalino as a hair loss victim. It's pretty easy to get into the sketches. It just feels good for some reason to channel flip through a bunch of random and stupid stuff. Some say it's not funny, because the stuff on their is actually the kind of lame junk you would fin on TV, but the humor is there, and it's funny. I totally recommend this especially with friends.My rating: 3/4 stars. 84 mins. rated R for full frontal nudity, sexuality, some violence and brief language.
