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 03/02/2024
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. Go to Full Review Stephen Amidon Financial Times 03/01/2024
Although the plot is risible and the acting Cro-Magnon, the film is brilliantly shot, throbbing with raw energy and skewed humor. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 03/28/2007
Some good performances emerge from a one-note script via very good Russ Meyer direction and his outstanding editing. Go to Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life 05/13/2022
It is great if you’re into cheap, trashy movies. Who could ask for more? Go to Full Review Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) 01/12/2022
Once considered porn-ish, the flick has now gained quite a few feminist credentials. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 05/29/2021
A mystery, exploitation film, and hot rod thriller all rolled into one busty package. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ROBERT May 15 I don't try anything, I just do it! wanna try me? See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Feb 26 It looks like a classic. What's better... It's cult classic!!! There's no nudity, but good ol' Russ always finds those women you never forget. See more Meatatarian T @Meatatarian Sep 13 Not much to like, story about a bully turned greedy killer. Almost impossible to like. The friend could barely get a sentence out in english. The blonde and young girl were the dime pieces, definitely highlight of the movie. Found the lead character odd to look at and sloppy. Poor acting and cheaply made, typical ending. Way overrated waste your time on other grindhouse films and skip this one. Looks more like a release in 1947 movie is about 20 years behind its time if not more. See more Nick O @Nicki1985 05/28/2025 Fast cars, switchblades and bad babes! Enough to make your lame boyfriend too scared to even go in the theater! See more MariofanAlex445 T @RT47678067 05/25/2024 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. See more Stefano L @RT59311862 05/18/2023 I agree with John Waters: "This is the greatest motion picture ever made!!" See more Read all reviews
