Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
1965-83m.-Eve Productions
d. Russ Meyer














Lucky for Charlie his girl's never met this trio or angels they would have really been. Tura Satana, Haji and Lori Willams are stripper's looking for a good time anyway they can find it. Racing cars through the desert, beating a man to death, kidnapping, whatever gets their motors running they do and do full throttle. Russ Meyer set it all in a stark black&white landscape reminiscent of a John Ford western. Not as frenetic as his later films (you can actually see people blink in this one) this stands the test of time for it's sexiness and moral depravity.

+5 stars for Tura Satana, God rest her soul. Her every move a picture. Every picture a masterpiece. Throw out the Mona Lisa and substitute a glossy of Ms. Tura Luna Pascual Yamaguchi.
Bottom line
5 stars
