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.

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.

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

As bizarre and frustrating as it is engaging, this is a film that's aged quite well into a time of irony and hyper-brutality.

This film was almost good.

I came in expecting to find exploitation. And I found exactly that. But underneath that, something truly astonishing. A detailed look into the human psyche: the animal and desire to kill in everyone, ambition to accomplish a goal to feel like you matter, raw emotions that constantly boil up and the innocence that can never return. Underneath boobs.

Cult sexploitation movie about some sexy go-go dancers who drive around the Las Vegas desert in really fast cars, fight, shoot people, talk like bad-asses, have sex with anonymous strangers, and die. This no doubt, exerted an influence over the Quentin Tarantino style of films and it still looks pretty good.

Gleefully sordid, violent, good-humored exploitation from Russ Meyer, the thinking person's skin-flick director.
