Varla, Rosie and Billie are nightclub dancers with attitude. They go out to the desert looking for trouble. They meet Tommy who wants to drive the salt flats and his innocent girlfriend Linda. Varla kills Tommy and they kidnap Linda. They drive onto the property of an old cripple and his muscle-bound slow-minded son, the Vegetable. They supposedly is hiding a money stash. The old man is interested in Linda who manages to escape. She's picked up by Kirk but he turns out to be the old man's son. He brings her back despite her loud objections.
This is super camp. There is real bad acting. The line delivery by the girls is horrendous. Russ Meyer picked them mostly for their giant double assets. The fake laugh is laughable. Sue Bernard never stops screaming. Paul Trinka is forced to be dumber than the Vegetable and he's horrible at it. The writing is a mix bag. At times, it's painfully bad. At other times, it is pure cheese heaven. Overall, it is surprisingly watchable and awkwardly hilarious.

Russ Meyer's Greatest Film?
Three strippers holding a young girl hostage come across a crippled old man living with his two sons in the desert. After learning he is hiding a sum of cash around, the strippers start scheming on him.
I am not as familiar with Russ Meyer as I should be. He is a legendary cult director, but I think I know him best for "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". This one, however, is his signature film. It is well-known and has been referenced extensively by others (apparently more bands than other filmmakers!).
You can judge it and say it is cheesy or kitsch, but that is what makes it a cult film. The cinematography is crisp and beautiful, and the overall plot is excellent -- sort of female empowerment meets the old western.
girls gone wild
As I'd never seen a Russ Meyer film, I figured that I might as well start with what is probably his most famous one. If Meyer believed that a movie just needed to have speed, sex and violence, then he sure accomplished it with "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" (although it's quite tame by today's standards). Is there any real point to the movie? No, not really. But the movie doesn't pretend to be "The Seventh Seal" or "2001". This is all about the women and their tight clothes, the sort of thing that'll most appeal to teenage boys.
Overall, I bet that they had fun filming this; it would have certainly been fun to be around those babes!. With movies like this, life will never get boring. A true classic.
