Russ Meyer's ode to the violence in women...
Welcome to the world of female violence. Meet the sumptuously sexy Varla, played at full throttle and with well-upholstered relish by the half-Japanese, half-Cherokee Tura Satana. She's having a lovely time with her two go-going pals, dancing the Watusi in a sleazy bar packed with leering, jeering macho-men.
And after a hard day's grooving, what better than a drag race in the desert? So it's off we go, hurtling across the California sands as we follow the trio of homicidal go-go gals, hell bent on wreaking revenge on all things male, as they embark on a desperate desert drive-thru, taking a bikini-clad wimp hostage and leaving a trail of human wreckage in their wake.
Filmed in glorious black and blue, Faster Pussycat has been hailed as "the best movie ever made" and a "definite Desert Island Movie". Celluloid proof that Russ Meyer is a complete and utter cult.

Russ meyer is often seen as a dirty old men with a love of buxom women. Which is no bad thing.
In any case, this film proves his enduring appeal as a writer/director of witty, dark and way ahead of their time movies about the underbelly of america, as seen from the fringes. Simple but excellent combining equal measures titillation and genuine thrills. Made with a crew of 5 apparently for next to nothing. Just shows what can be done with great talents.
Pathetic. Adult? I don't think so! Waste of time.
