Russ Meyer's cult favorite follows sadistic go-go dancers Varla (Tura Satana), Rosie (Haji) and Billie (Lori Williams) as they break free from the nightclub where they perform and race out to the desert to stir up a little mayhem. After karate expert Varla kills an innocent man, the voluptuous trio takes his girlfriend (Susan Bernard) hostage as they attempt to wheedle a hidden fortune from a misogynistic old man (Paul Trinka) and his muscle-bound, brain-damaged son (Dennis Busch).

Critics Consensus

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is undoubtedly shlock, but director Russ Meyer's infectious affection for camp gives this anarchic joyride exhilarating flair.

A little Meyer goes a long way, but this is one of his more coherent and -- in a peculiar way -- restrained essays in trash madness.

Financial Times

Although the plot is risible and the acting Cro-Magnon, the film is brilliantly shot, throbbing with raw energy and skewed humor.

Some good performances emerge from a one-note script via very good Russ Meyer direction and his outstanding editing.

It is great if you’re into cheap, trashy movies. Who could ask for more?

Once considered porn-ish, the flick has now gained quite a few feminist credentials.

Cinema Crazed

A mystery, exploitation film, and hot rod thriller all rolled into one busty package.

The movie is mediocre, possibly worth a rewatch. The main theme in the intro and outro is very catchy and I’d love to hear it remastered. Good performances, I just feel like it could have been better.
