Cinema: Kentucky Fried Sequel
AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON
"Starring Lots of Actors," the opening credits of this Son of Kentucky Fried Movie announce. Also five directors (including Joe Dante and John Landis) and two TV-bred writers (Michael Barrie and Jim Mulholland) itching to bring skitcom to the big screen. Some episodes offer social satire, such as one starring Griffin Dunne as an impish obstetrician who insists that his painted fist is a woman's newborn baby ("Wanna breast-feed him?"). But most find plenty of fun at show biz's expense. Movies: Amazon Women on the Moon, a parody of the already camp Zsa Zsa Gabor epic Queen of Outer Space. Books: "Irving Sidney's" First Lady of the Evening, in which the President marries a hooker. TV: commercials for a synthetic hors d'oeuvre called Silly Pate and for the laundered lilt of Black Singer Don ("No Soul") Simmons. The whole thing has the offhand lunacy of Phi Beta frat boys on spring break. Don't miss it if you can.
