Spiritual Successor to The Kentucky Fried Movie, directed in 1987 by John Landis, Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, and Robert K Weiss. Basically a bigger budget version of KFM. This time, the sketches are centered around a cheesy 1950s sci-fi movie called, of course, Amazon Women On The Moon. The titular parody appears to largely be inspired by Queen of Outer Space.

Tropes used in the film:

• Deliberate Values Dissonance
• The Fun in Funeral
• Show Within a Show: A number of them, most notably the title feature they keep trying to show.
• Umpteenth Customer: A boy who goes to a drug store to buy condoms (discreetly) for his date not only wins a prize...but becomes their spokesman, much to his horror.
• Artistic License - Physics: Done deliberately as part of the parody of 50's sci-fi.
