Talk:Amazon Women on the Moon

Even on IMDB it is common practice for users to refer incorrectly to "Reefer Madness" as the source for the parody segment "Reckless Youth". The storyline and several specific actions within the parody are directly selected from the lesser known "Sex Madness". The original "Sex Madness" in its entirety can be found here http://www.archive.org/details/sex_madness.

Maybe Henry Silva's part is a spoof of Jack Palance's "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" instead of "In search of...". Check this YouTube video, specially at 2:10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHlXcjEWcPY — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.55.102.172 (talk) 01:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Not based on Forbidden Planet
Besides space ship's stalwart captain (a staple of 1950's Sci Fi) the film-in-the-film has no similarity to Forbidden Planet, not in characters nor storyline. The setting resembles more that of Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, where they encounter an all female population, scantily clad and armed with lances. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.125.89 (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Another anonymous user edited the above comment as if it were part of the article, changing it to
 * based on Forbidden Planet and similar "B" movie sci-fi classics of the 1950's
 * With the space ship's stalwart captain (a staple of 1950's Sci Fi) the uniforms, the "comic relief" of a crewman with a monkey, this film-in-the-film is a tip-of-the-hat to classic science fiction of the era, from Forbidden Planet,  to  Abbott and Costello Go to Mars ...
 * I undid the edit and pasted it separately from the original comment, for historical integrity. —Tamfang (talk) 07:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Cameos
The third paragraph of the lede says:

> Film actors making cameo appearances in various sketches included Rosanna Arquette, Ralph Bellamy, Griffin Dunne, Carrie Fisher, Steve Forrest, Steve Guttenberg, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kelly Preston, and Henry Silva, alongside television actors such as Ed Begley Jr., Bryan Cranston, David Alan Grier, Howard Hesseman, Peter Horton, William Marshall, Joe Pantoliano, Robert Picardo, and Roxie Roker.

Most of these are not cameos. Half of them are stars of one of the segments, which is much larger than a cameo. Others are bit-part actors playing bit parts who only later became famous (e.g., washed-out soap star turned non-union voiceover artist Bryan Cranston, years before he was a recurring part on Seinfeld, much less Breaking Bad). Also, what makes William "Blacula" Marshall a TV actor, but SWAT star Steve Forrest a movie actor? And why are Lana Clarkson, Sybil Danning, and Paul Bartel in the separate paragraphs of non-actor cameos instead of here? And Peter Horton is most of those at once (although since Thirtysomething premiered before the movie, he was a TV star as far as the advertising was concerned).

But, more to the point, why does the lede even need two paragraphs talking about some but not all of the cameos and attempting to categorize them? The complete list is in the Cast section? --157.131.202.156 (talk) 05:03, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
