Faster Pussycat Kill...Kill! Reviews

See this!

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.

Under-appeciated comic-book aesthetics from a true auteur

This film features my all-time favourite opening sequence, it's just so cool. From then follows what can only be described as comic book-esque pulp cinema; outrageously abundant, sexually-dominant women, feeble emasculated men, fast cars, killings and a hidden loot. Meyer's cinema is the flip-side to the swinging sixties.

I'm not quite sure what those who claim they were disappointed by this film were expecting, The Apu Trilogy perhaps? Ugetsu Monogatari? Fanny and Alexander? Who knows. For me, Russ Meyer is a true auteur. You can tell within seconds of watching any of his films that you are watching a Russ Meyer flick.

Doesn't really live up to the hype

This is a quirky film (name a Russ Meyer film that isn't!) Tura Satana plays Varla in probably her most famous r?le to date. Haji plays Rosie, Billie is played by Lori Williams (with Sue Bernard playing the hapless Linda). I urge you to check out the DVD extras to see what they look like now (to be honest, Tura still looks gorgeous, but poor Haji is almost unrecogniseable!). This is a stylish film with trailer-park chic and a heck of a lot of attitude. Are these women feminist r?le-models or the complete opposite? Who knows. It's good for a laugh. But don't have your hopes up too much. And quite why it still gets given an 18 certificate (times have moved one after all) defies logic. Don't watch it if you want to be turned on in any way. But for kitch trash value, it's worth it!

Dismal

Pathetic. Adult? I don't think so! Waste of time.

Cult Status ?

How can the BBFC give this film anything but a PG certificate.

Honestly there is not one front facing bare breast in it! This is a very dated CULT movie now , mushy NTSC black and white conversion,but some interesting extras.

Great

Russ Mayer at his best.

Possibly tongue in cheek, who knows what he meant. It's comic strip violence with busty babes battling it out in black and white and best of all the classic cars..

Great stuff.

The Cramps have a lot to answer for

Russ Meyer was a sick puppy - but the Cramps should have just stayed sick.

Faster is one of Russ' most fulsome scripts, with something for nearly everyone - as long as nearly everyone is slightly twisted. Gripping stuff indeed.
