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.
