Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Meyer's best. Tura Satana is a genuine screen presence and the dialogue snaps.

Russ Meyer's best film and the one least interested in what he was usually selling. Three go-go dancers drive into the desert, kill a man, and take a girl hostage, and Tura Satana's Varla is one of the great screen presences: all black gloves, contempt and karate.

It flopped on release and became a cult object decades later, admired now for its dialogue, its editing, and Satana, who did her own stunts and her own glaring. The whole thing is shot in high-contrast desert black and white that looks like a comic panel.

Fast, mean and quotable. It has aged into a classic.
