"Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" is a 1965 exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer.
Three thrill-seeking go-go dancers (remember go-go dances in the 60s)— Billie (Lori Williams), Rosie (Haji), and their leader, Varla (Tura Satana) — encounter a young couple in the desert while drag racing. After killing the boyfriend (Ray Barlow) with her bare hands, Varla drugs, binds, gags and kidnaps his girlfriend, Linda (Susan Bernard). It goes all down hill from there.
The film was shot in the extreme western parts of the Mojave Desert. However, some of the scenes appear to have been filmed farther east, near Baker, California.
However, while Tura had a non-Lucas equipped '64/'65 356, her sidekicks, Haji and Lori Williams, were forced to make do with less menacing British iron in the movie.More on the Badass Chicks here.

ReplyDeleteThe 356 happened to be Meyer's personal car.
ReplyDeleteLow budget grindhouse flix are sadly just memories... as are the baddass chicks from our day that sported Tura's cleavage!
Nowadays, hooters like that tend to be Memorex.
And no way would the German language title have been allowed in the US-of-By-God-A at the time.
Gotta find that poster...
For a moment I thought those girls were the '60,s female surf group The Honeys!
