Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Classic-Movie-Club No chick flick here.. but babes with boobs in sports cars .. and raw violence.. captivating
zardoz-13 Lurid, gritty, and malevolent best describe director Russ Meyer' cult classic "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" with Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams as three bodaciously breasted go-go dancers who careen around the desert, murder guys, and kidnap a sixteen-year old for kicks. Lensed in black & white to keep within a low-budget, this mayhem is expertly photographed with lots of unsavory characters and some gender role variations that weren't mainstream back when it was released in 1965. Say what you want about Russ Meyers, a former U.S. Army photographer with fetish for women with pneumatic breasts, he knows how to get good performances out of his small cast and generate atmosphere galore. One of the best scenes has evil Varla in a Porsche with the accelerator buried under her lead foot as she keeps a brainless, muscle-bound brute pinned against a brick wall. Such is his formidable strength that he can hold the sports car in place while Varla increases her speed but ultimately buries her rear wheels up the axle in the dirt. Initially, as these three babes race in the desert, everything looks fine and peaceful until another fast driver with a sixteen-year old shows up. One thing leads to another and the pugnacious Varla tangles with him and snaps his neck. The gals must take the juvenile hostage because she can name them and put them in the chair. Later, these beautiful but devious girl stumble onto a crippled pervert (Stuart Lancaster) and his Herculean son who live in a compound in the desert. A mechanic tells the gals that the wheelchair bound older guy, who loves to cradle a double-barreled shotgun, has a stash of cash. Varla has him marked as an easy target, while the lascivious pedophile eyeballs the sixteen-year old with evil eyes. Jack Moran penned the screenplay based on an original story by Russ Meyer. If you're into 1960s era movies, "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" amounts to a must-see!
patchesalseier I was surprised to see just how awful this movie was after all the buzz: "ultra-violent," "raunchy," "lots of booty," "savage," and many more superlatives are used to describe "Faster Pussycat." In reality it's dumb, dull, and docile. Yes, there are some buxom-y ladies (but no nudity--not even ni---ple-bumps, and no sex, etc.), and some people do die--or I guess they do, as there's almost no blood when it happens (even after a "brutal" stabbing--and we have to watch that from behind the stabber so nothing is seen. The victim falls bloodless to the ground, but I guess there's a little redness on the knife?).I think Faster Pussycat might really have been meant as a straight comedy instead of an exploitation thriller; the "fight" scenes are laughable (such as a large woman "karate-chopping" a guy hard enough to give him a slight massage--but it kills him anyway), and the dialogue is inane.The story is slight, the scenery is humdrum (arid landscape for most of it) and the acting is horrible. It's not bad enough to rise to a "good, bad" movie, and it's not good enough for a cult classic. I have no idea why this thing even rates a look. Frankly I was shocked to find the lowest stars this movie gets--besides my rating--is like only four or five. I'm giving this tripe a "2" just because it has some notoriety. My advice . . . don't see it, and above all don't pull this out for you and all your friends to enjoy--they won't.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Who would know that the 60's could produce a movie so intense, that it will be a gemstone of a lifetime. In "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", it's a high octane thriller, that combines fast cars, fast moving women, and action that is non-stop. You have these three go-go dancers: Varla (Tura Santana), Rosie(Haji), and Billie(Lori Williams). They go out in the desert to unwind, until a couple appeared and they started to have a race. Well, the original three were racing their cars earlier in the scene, then Billie decides to have a swim. When the couple joined the scene, things began to get ugly. After the race, Varla and the boyfriend get into a fight, which resulted in his death. Then they drugged the girlfriend, and take her onto a ranch where this old man who was crippled in a railroad accident. The deadly trio do want something from him, his hidden money. But unknown to them, he is not so vulnerable period. For he got his own plans for them. The only thing is, they are not weak women. These women can fight, kill, or play very rough at all costs. No one is safe. This movie is about violent women, and not about domestic violence in the house hold. Of course, with the simple-minded brother, it's all about personal demons. Rev up your engines and see this movie. 5 stars
