Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and Jack Moran. It follows three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert.

The film is known for its violence, provocative gender roles, and eminently quotable "dialogue to shame Raymond Chandler".[four] It is too remembered for the functioning of star Tura Satana, whose character Richard Corliss called "the most honest, mayhap the 1 honest, portrayal in the Meyer catechism".[5] Faster, Pussycat! was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release, but it has since become widely regarded as an important and influential film.[6] [7] [viii]

Plot [edit]

Iii wild, uninhibited go-get dancers — Billie, Rosie, and Varla — dance at a club before racing their sports cars across the California desert. They play a high-speed game of craven on the common salt flats and encounter a immature couple, Tommy and Linda, out to run a fourth dimension trial. Afterward breaking Tommy's neck in a fight, Varla kidnaps and drugs Linda.

In a small desert town, they finish at a gas station where they see a wheelchair-bound old man and his muscular, dim-witted son. The gas station bellboy tells the women that the old man was crippled in a railway blow, "going nuts" as a result, and that he received a large settlement of money that is hidden somewhere around his decrepit house in the desert. Intrigued, Varla hatches a scheme to rob the one-time man, and the three women follow him back to the ranch, with their captive in tow.

At the ranch they encounter the one-time human, his younger son (who they larn is called "The Vegetable" due to his feeblemindedness) and his elder son, Kirk. The group all have lunch together, and Billie taunts Rosie when Varla leaves with Kirk, hoping to seduce him into revealing the location of the money. Linda afterwards escapes the drunken Billie and runs abroad into the desert. The old human and the younger son pursue in their truck. The younger son catches Linda and seems about to assault her, but he collapses in tears as Varla and Kirk arrive. Kirk finally acknowledges his father's lecherous nature and the former man'south hold over his younger brother, and he vows to have his younger brother institutionalized. He tries to take the hysterical Linda into town in the truck, merely the old man says that he has thrown away the keys, and Kirk and Linda set out across the desert on foot.

Varla drives back to the firm and tells Billie and Rosie that they should kill the men and the girl to comprehend up Linda's kidnapping and the murder of her swain. Billie refuses, but as she walks abroad, Varla throws a knife into her dorsum just as the old man and his younger son arrive. Rosie and Varla hit the erstwhile man with their car, killing him and knocking over his wheelchair to reveal the coin hidden inside. Rosie is stabbed and killed past the younger son while trying to retrieve the pocketknife from Billie'southward body. Varla tries to ram him into a wall with her automobile, injuring him. She drives off in the truck and overtakes Kirk and Linda, chasing them into a gully. Varla and Kirk fight paw-to-manus. She gets the amend of him until Linda hits her with the truck, and she dies. Kirk and Linda bulldoze off together in the truck.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

The pic was a follow up to an before Meyer movie. "'We had just done a film called Motorpsycho, which was about three bad boys, and information technology had gone through the roof. So I said, 'Well, let's practice one with three bad girls'."[9]

The screenplay is credited to Jack Moran from an original story by Russ Meyer. The first draft was titled The Leather Girls and was written over a brief four-twenty-four hours period past Moran, who also collaborated with Meyer on Common Police force Cabin and Good Forenoon and... Good day! [10] The screenplay went through a 2nd working title—The Mankillers—and had already begun production when the sound editor, Richard S. Brummer, came upwardly with the now-immortal concluding title.[4] Although neither Moran nor Meyer overtly cited any prior works as inspiration, the plot has been called a "loose remake of The Drastic Hours, or mayhap The Virgin Spring" by i prominent pic critic[v] and a "popular-art setting of Aeschylus'due south Eumenides" by one classical scholar.[11]

Casting [edit]

Haji had worked with Meyer on Motorpsycho. She recommended Tura Satana to him.[12]

Lori Williams later said "Russ didn't desire to hire me because he didn't recollect I had a big enough bust! I said I could use pushups in my bra, which I did. He didn't know whether information technology would piece of work, but so in rehearsals he finally said okay. I kind of did my office similar a drawing, similar the remainder of the film, bigger than life."[thirteen]

Filming [edit]

Faster, Pussycat! had a modest upkeep of about $45,000 and was shot in black and white in order to relieve coin.[14] [15]

The film began shooting at the Pussycat Lodge, a strip lodge in Van Nuys, before moving on to the California desert later that night. The picture'southward early racing scene was shot on the dry salt flats of Cuddeback Lake, the gas station scene was filmed in the town of Randsburg,[16] and the scenes at the Old Man's house at Ollie Peche'south Musical Wells Ranch outside the boondocks of Mojave.[17] During principal photography, the cast and crew stayed at the Adobe Cabin in Johannesburg.[18]

Meyer, who got his start making movies while serving in the US Army'due south 166th Signal Photographic Visitor during World War Ii, had a reputation for running strictly regimented film shoots with a small crew composed largely of former Army buddies.[nineteen] Actor Charles Napier, who appeared in v of Meyer's films, said that "Working with Russ Meyer was like beingness in the first moving ridge landing in Normandy during Earth War II."[twenty] Meyer considered the Faster, Pussycat! shoot no different, saying "It was the usual affair with me. It's like beingness in the armed services. Everybody has to get up and do their jobs to get things together, and that'due south it."[21] Meyer'south directorial manner and the rules he imposed upon cast and crew caused clashes with his equally strong-willed star, Tura Satana.[15] [22]

There was too friction between Susan Bernard and her managing director and co-stars, much of which they attributed to the presence of her female parent on the set (necessitated by Bernard's existence a sixteen-yr-erstwhile pocket-size at the fourth dimension). Bernard has said in interviews that she was truly scared of Satana, and some accept idea that this contributed to her performance every bit a frightened kidnapping victim.[23]

According to Satana,

Everybody [on set] did everything from moving props to mark scenery and mark spots where nosotros had to be in the next take. I had to phase the fight scenes because nobody else knew how to do them, and so literally when I did the fight scenes, I really had to pick upwardly each and every one of those guys and carry them through in order for them to look realistic. Basically I had to lay one guy on the flooring considering he was afraid he was going to become hurt. A lot of it actually had to exist done in reverse, so try to imagine doing a fight scene that manner.[13]

Music [edit]

The flick's title song, "Faster Pussycat!", was performed by California band, the Bostweeds. The lyrics were written by Rick Jarrard and the music was written and sung by Lynn Ready[ citation needed ], who formed the Bostweeds and sang leads. The track was never released commercially, only information technology did appear in February 1966 every bit a promotional-only 45 single without a B-side.[24]

Reception and influence [edit]

Box office [edit]

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! premiered in Los Angeles on August six, 1965.[25] Atypically for a Meyer film, information technology was a box office failure upon its initial release.[half-dozen] [7]

"When it first came out, it was non successful", said Meyer. "At the fourth dimension, people didn't understand that women could have a relationship with other women."[nine]

Critical [edit]

It was generally dismissed as an exploitative "skin pic" past the few critics who took any note of information technology at all.[8] John 50. Wasserman of the San Francisco Chronicle, for example, reviewed a double neb of Faster, Pussycat! and Mudhoney in April 1966, saying that "Pussycat has the worst script always written, and Mudhoney is the worst movie ever made."[26] [27]

Cult status [edit]

In the years since, the pic has been regarded more favorably, gaining in both commercial and critical stature.[8] As of August 2022 information technology holds a "fresh" rating on film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, with 73% (22 of 30) critic reviews positive.[28] In his review of the film'southward 1995 re-release, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars.[8] Noted feminist motion picture critic B. Ruby Rich said that when she kickoff saw Faster, Pussycat! in the 1970s she "was absolutely outraged that [she had] been forced to watch this misogynist pic that objectified women and that was actually just brusque of soft-core porn."[29] Upon viewing it again in the early on 1990s, however, she "merely loved it" and wrote a piece in The Village Phonation reappraising the picture and discussing her change in opinion.[29]

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is currently number 674 on the tenth edition of the often-referenced "one,000 Greatest Films" listing[30] and 377th on the Sight & Sound "Greatest Films Poll".[31] It is often mentioned on lists of the best B movies and cult movies of all time.[32] [33] [34] [35] [36]

The film has also been influential on other filmmakers. Author-managing director John Waters stated in his book Daze Value that "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is, across a doubt, the best motion-picture show ever fabricated. Information technology is possibly better than any picture that volition be fabricated in the future."[37] He after said on its re-release that "it ages similar fine wine."[6] Music video director Keir McFarlane best-selling that a scene in the video for the Janet Jackson vocal "Y'all Want This" was a direct homage to Faster, Pussycat!, showing the Porsche-driving vocalizer and her female person companions driving circles around ii men in the desert.[6] Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino referenced the movie and thanked Meyer in the credits of his film Expiry Proof,[38] and it was reported in Variety in 2008 that Tarantino was interested in remaking Faster, Pussycat! [39] [xl]
