Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer. It follows three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert. The movie is known for its violence, provocative gender roles, and its eminently quotable "dialogue to shame Raymond Chandler." It is also remembered for the indelible performance of star Tura Satana, whose character Richard Corliss called "the most honest, maybe the one honest, portrayal in the Meyer canon." Faster, Pussycat! was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release, but it has since become widely regarded as an important and influential film.

Sounds a great film Jeremy, of course I was too young to see it in 1965.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I think Mystery Science Theater 3000 tackled that one...
ReplyDeleteOkay, I officially love you! This is one of my favourite Russ Meyer films.
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect example of the genre. I've heard of it, but never got to watch it. I may check it out.
ReplyDeleteIts like the cars are waiting for these killer pussycats to make their big move so they can make theirs!
