Sorry, but that's not true. "Outland" (set on Io) and "Adventures of Pluto Nash" (on the Moon) have slow-motion low gravity scenes. A couple Russian SF movies do also, and I am sure there are more I am not aware of. And I daresay that for viewers who do not know what motion in lunar gravity really looks like, they are fairly convincing.
