Amazon Women On The Moon (1987)
Five directors contributed to this scattershot collection of
bawdy sketches satirising everything from dating to late-night TV
via B-grade sci-fi movies and advertising.
The anthology is assembled in the spirit of Saturday Night
Live and while some of the gags are clever and inspired, the
majority fall flat. A myriad of cult performers invest the only
sporadically amusing proceedings with a surface gloss of
credibility.
 Ironically, the project seems best suited for late-night TV.
The real fun (apart from a segment pontificating on whether or not
Jack the Ripper's true identity was the Loch Ness Monster) is to
watch this on DVD in the US and then play regular TV
and try to spot the difference. There isn't much . . .
The full list of segments is; Amazon Women on the Moon;
Hairlooming; Bullshit or Not; Pethouse Video; Critic's Corner;
Roast Your Loved One; Reckless Youth; Murray in Videoland; Silly
Paté; Hospital; Titan Man; Son of the Invisible Man; Art Sale;
Video Pirates; Blacks Without Soul; First Lady of the Evening; Two
I.D.'s; Don 'No Soul' Simmons; Mondo Condo; and Video Date.
