    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The "Pethouse Video" segment was filmed twice. Monique Gabrielle was totally naked for the theatrical, videocassette and DVD versions, but wore lingerie in the television version.
    • Goofs
      Arsenio's shredded tie changes between shots. Obviously 2 differently shredded ties were used.
    • Quotes

      Bernice Pitnik: I'm glad to see Slappy White here today. Now at least I know my hubcaps are safe. And Rip Taylor, is that a toupee, or did a beaver curl up and die on your head? As I look at Henny Youngman today, I'm not so sure we're burying the right guy.

    • Crazy credits
      The very last credit before the copyright statement is Hi Sean!
    • Alternate versions
      Television versions contain an additional sketch with Dick Miller as a ventriloquist whose dummy is switched with a French-speaking one. There is also an additional sketch featuring Jenny Agutter. Neither of these is found on the video version. The 'Pethouse Video' was completely re shot for television and features Monique Gabrielle walking around in lingerie rather than being naked. The "Bullshit Or Not?" program is retitled "Baloney Or Not?".

    Donate your money to Don Simmons - Black without a soul :)
    After I saw this film I was positively surprised of the varied amount of excellent little surprises this film offered in form of little jokes. The film itself is in a way a sequel to the "Kentucky Fried Movie" so if you have seen it, you might know what to expect. The movie itself is built around a 50's b-movie "Amazon women on the moon" which has some serious troubles while showing and the jokes are then presented as commercials etc. One of the most memorable moments IMO in this film include: "The blacks without the soul", "Petmate of the month" and several others. I'll give this 9 out of 10. RECOMMENDED
