a5c7b9f00b Three wild women - Varia, Rosa and Billie, go-go dancers by profession - like to live life in the fast lane. They drive their cars fast and take the men that they want. In the desert, they come across the pretty but innocent Linda, whom they decide to kidnap and hold for ransom. When they go to a nearby town and learn about a wheelchair-bound old man who lives in an old ranch house with his two sons. More importantly, rumor has it the man is rich and has money hidden all over the place. The old man and his sons aren&#39;t the pushovers they thought he would be and the girls plans don&#39;t quite work outthey hoped. Three strippers seeking thrills encounter a young couple in the desert. After dispatching the boyfriend, they take the girl hostage and begin scheming on a crippled old man living with his two sons in the desert, reputedly hiding a tidy sum of cash. They become houseguests of the old man and try and seduce the sons in an attempt to locate the money, not realizing that the old man has a few sinister intentions of his own. Ridiculous story about three go-go dancers on a rampage. They&#39;re Varla (Tura Satana), her girlfriend Rosie (Haji) and Billie (Lori Williams). It starts right off with the three of them in separate cars speeding down a desert highway. Watch for the close-ups of them &quot;driving&quot;–the sky in back of them never moves! Also–within the first 10 minutes–Rosie and Billie get soaking wet and have a catfight! They attack an innocent couple, kill the guy and kidnap the girl. They then get involved with a lecherous old man and his two sons. The rest of the plot is just too silly to get into.<br/><br/>For a Russ Meyers film this is pretty restrained. There&#39;s no nudity (although they come close) and actually has a PG-13 rating! The three main characters are all young, beautiful and have huge chests (a Russ Meyer trademark). Naturally they wear tight-fitting clothes and have no acting talent. The script has lines that are uproariously funny (I think in an unintentional way) but it&#39;s all played completely straight. There&#39;s also plenty of action and violence.<br/><br/>This is considered to be Russ Meyers best film. I disagree–I still think &quot;Beyond the Valley of the Dolls&quot; is better. This IS a dumb film but I&#39;d be lying if I said I didn&#39;t enjoy it. Turn off your brain and you&#39;ll have fun. What I&#39;ve heard Russ Meyer is known for nudity on his films but this is different and that&#39;s why I like it.<br/><br/>I&#39;m the kind of man who thinks revealing skin and sex scenes belong to only XXX-movies. Other kind of sexiness is always a really welcome additional spice and this movie has just the right tingling hot taste. Really stylish, light hearted, black and white movie with tons of attitude, girl power and some old cars too. Acting can be cheesy at some points but that doesn&#39;t do the movie any harm; in the matter of fact I&#39;d call it fitting in quite well.<br/><br/>Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! has some really special charm and became one of my favorite movies during the first 15 minutes! I rarely rewatch even the movies I really like just for my own entertainment but this one has the potential and definitely requires a Blu-Ray purchase in case DVD quality doesn&#39;t make it enough justice.<br/><br/>Despite being quite light-minded, I have a weird feeling of this movie deserving 10 after few replays but that&#39;s yet to be seen! (Sadly other Russ Meyer&#39;s movies might not be for me because of their nudity but hopefully there are other movies somewhere hitting the right spot.) <br/><br/>As a conclusion, all I can say is: Anyone even potentially liking old films should watch it. This movie is quite light hearted and barely has anything offensive (but maybe don&#39;t show it to some 12-year-olds without previewing it first). Got nothing to lose, right? So do yourself a favor. If you&#39;re anything like me, you will surely be delighted for stumbling upon this rather unknown movie- gem and even a potential master piece of some sorts ^__^<br/><br/>PS. This was a first movie giving me the spark of writing a review so any kind of feedback is welcome, thank you!
