    Russ Meyer has to be one of the most under-rated directors of all-time. His films are comicbook and cartoonish in style, everything is exaggerated. Men are generally portrayed as weak, impotent losers to which his powerful, oversexed women throw scorn and ridicule. This film is n...( read more)o exception. And along with FW Murnau's Expressionist masterpiece "Faust", "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" also features one of my favourite opening sequences to any film. Go baby, go

    Hard to rate this one - really in a category of its own with sexploitation...well Russ Meyer said a "movie's got it all when it's got sex, violence, and speed." And boy oh boy howdy, you get ALL 3 in this rolla rocka straight outta hell!

    It's dated, yeah, but that's not the poi...( read more)nt. The dialogue is so cheesy it's awesome. The girls are hot and have big tits. Sweet.

    Not much else to say here.

    Campy B-Movie classic. Attractive women go out looking for fun, which usually includes violence. After the sexiness wears off seriousness sets in. It's eventually becomes very unlikeable in terms of characters and content. The story is never as gripping as it should be, mostly be...( read more)cause it is evil vs. evil, each side with a different representative for certain levels of evil. There are some classic lines to enjoy and it picks up towards the very end. I can see why it is a cult classic.

    This is such a fun exploitation flick. It suffers from a few filming problems (jump cuts that don't reveal what just happened, esp the race against the random "Boy Next Door" at the beginning). A great thriller story, and you can clearly see the influence on today's directors, es...( read more)pecially Tarantino, and the rumor that he would do a remake of this has been reported numerous times on cinephile sites, but he sort of did his version of this with Death Proof and the Kill Bill films.
    For my horror fan friends, this isn't horror perse but it is a very cool psychological thriller you need to check out if you have appreciation for compelling story as opposed to just gore. The body count is plenty high, but the accent here is on the distinctive characters and this odd world they've happened into. A must-see for anyone interested in film history as this film personifies much of the commonalities in exploitation film and bridges the gap between the masters of the 50s and the upped visual ante of the 70s.

    "So Fucked Up" highlight:

    Grindhouse at its best following the exploits of a sexy gang of cunning, race-car driving vixens.

    Something inside of you goes slightly awry when watching this film. What could be written off as a sexy B-film with no real plot, actually turns into an interesting view of sexuality and the conflicts it creates between women, men, and other women. There are of course some grea...( read more)t flaws in the movie itself, with plot development and storyline, but it makes up for that in sheer intensity.

    So happy I finally got to see it. Tura Satana is amazing!

    Faster Pussycat Kill, Kill (1965)

    Russ Meyer sexploitation movies are sort of like soft-core porn with bad acting, and bad dialog. The only thing they seem to want to do is to tease you with overly exposed top-heavy girls and the pervy guys who can't look away. Now days soft-c...( read more)ore like this is pretty tame, and watching this is sort of funny, although was it meant to be?

    I can see where Tarantino and Rodriguez got this style for their movies like Sin City, Death Proof, and Kill Bill, but they tend to not be afraid to show a little more. Back in 1965, they couldn't really show you the goods. :-)

    I think that it's as watch-able as any drive-in, B movie and as sort of a history of film type of thing. It's not any kind of deep psychological drama, but just an excuse to show you some cleavage. Pop some popcorn, open a beer and enjoy.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

What is it about Meyer that spurs critics to this hyperbole? I think it is an intensely personal reaction to the visceral power of Meyer's unusual images. full review
