Amazon Women on the Moon

Rating ***/*****, or 6/10

Bizarre mix of sketches spoofs 1950s sci-fi flicks, the American advertisement industry and basically any other popcultural imagery around. The comedic effects range from absolute hilarity to obscenely large question marks in viewers' minds. As a whole, the plot, if there can be considered to be such a thing, revolves around a television station broadcasting a ridiculous low budget film called Amazon Women on the Moon, which due to technical faults gets interspersed with advertisement, refurbished scenes of classic films and generally random silliness. Often considered a sequel to the equally grotesque Kentucky Fried Movie (1977). The most memorable scenes include Son of the Invisible Man, a teenager outed as buying condoms and becoming an unwilling spokesperson for the condom industry and Jack the Ripper speculated to have been the Loch Ness monster.
