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).

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Jonathan Romney Guardian 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. Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Stephen Amidon Financial Times Although the plot is risible and the acting Cro-Magnon, the film is brilliantly shot, throbbing with raw energy and skewed humor. Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Some good performances emerge from a one-note script via very good Russ Meyer direction and his outstanding editing. Mar 28, 2007 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life It is great if you’re into cheap, trashy movies. Who could ask for more? May 13, 2022 Full Review Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) Once considered porn-ish, the flick has now gained quite a few feminist credentials. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed A mystery, exploitation film, and hot rod thriller all rolled into one busty package. May 29, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick O Fast cars, switchblades and bad babes! Enough to make your lame boyfriend too scared to even go in the theater! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Joseph M The greatest film of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 24 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Stefano L I agree with John Waters: "This is the greatest motion picture ever made!!" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Tom K I don't think there has been a film since that has featured a female lead in the way Tura is here. A simple story but what a powerful character.
