Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Once...Twice...Three times a lady. It has been years, upon years that I've been trying to see this film. It's hard to find a legit copy and I found a site called Veoh that someone had uploaded it on there. I risked getting a trojan on my old Dell computer just to watch it but, I got to see it. White Zombie used a few samples from this film in the album, La Sexorcisto Devil Music: Vol. 1 which I guess got a big interest for a lot of people in the film unless you were fans of Herschell Gordon-Lewis already. It's just an exploitation film much like any other but, this one didn't get a big run around the theater circuit in it's time and was soon forgotten and sought as one of Russ Meyers best works.

Three thrill-seeking go-go dancers (Billie (Lori Williams), Rosie (Haji), and their leader, Varla (Tura Satana)) encounter a young couple in the desert while drag racing. The three challenge the boyfriend (Ray Barlow) to a race and as the boyfriend is winning, Varla cuts him off nearly wrecking him. They all get into a skirmish about foul play and Varla begins to attack the boyfriend. After killing the boyfriend with her bare hands, Varla and he girls drug, bind, gag and kidnap his girlfriend, Linda (Susan Bernard). On a desolate highway, the four stop at a gas station, where they see an old man (Stuart Lancaster) and his muscular, dimwitted son, known as the Vegetable (Dennis Busch). The gas station attendant (Mickey Foxx) tells the women that the old man and his two sons live on a decrepit ranch with a hidden cache of money. Intrigued, Varla hatches a scheme to rob the lecherous old man, who is confined to a wheelchair.

The first immediate thing about this film that is most distinguishable is that the women are hot as fuck. Especially for that time. Much more than most of the women in Orgy of the Dead or She Devils on Wheels or even Switchblade Sisters. The film is the ultimate fetish for lovers of violence, girls, and fast cars. Very entertaining film and it fits in among the top of the 'B' class genre of film making and a major imprint on the grindhouse line ups of the 60s. Unlike the long dismay that some other films that of this stature leave you with feeling drowsy or unfulfilled this one pops your cherry everytime.
