i know its directed by john landis but other than that how is it a sequal? Zucker, Abrams, and zucker dont even have anything to do with it like they did on kentucky fried movie.
Yeah, but Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker had nothing to do with
Airplane II either...
I wouldn't regard
Amazon Women on the Moon as a sequel as such, but more of a follow-up to
Kentucky Fried Movie, or an (attempted) update of it. Consider the following:
* John Landis and Robert K. Weiss worked on both movies.
* Both movies have a similar format - a parody of a specific genre movie (
Enter The Dragon=
A Fistful Of Yen and
Cat-Women of the Moon=
Amazon Women on the Moon) surrounded by smaller skits parodying TV shows, commercials, charity appeals, etc.
*
Amazon makes several references to Samuel L. Bronkowitz, a gag name from
Kentucky Fried Movie.
* The "Video Date" skit on
Amazon is pretty much a remake of the "Feel-A-Round" skit from
KFM. It's also quite reminiscent of the "Eyewitness News" skit that
KFM closed with.
You can tell that the makers of
Amazon were going for the same style and vein of humour as
Kentucky Fried Movie, but failed quite dismally, in my opinion.
