Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)(Russ Meyer)
It is commonly known that what one person considers to
be a great movie may not be so great to others. Many of
us have guilty pleasures in the realm of cinema that make
others scratch their heads and mutter “wtf”? Certain
aspects of a film may speak to one person yet be totally
lost on another. One man’s treasure is another man’s
trash and so on.
Such a film is the 1965 Russ Meyer classic (?) “Faster,
Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” which to me is one of those afore
mentioned type of films. Why do I like it so much? Well … I
can only surmise that it has something to so with
cleavage and violence. It may also have something
to do with it being a great “quote movie” like “Army of
Darkness”, “Big Trouble in Little China” and “Shaun of
the Dead”.
“I never try anything. I just do it. And I don’t beat clocks,
just people! Wanna try me?”
Then again there is only one name that you need to know,
Tura Satana. If you don’t know who that is you sure will
never be able to forget her after watching “Faster,
Pussycat!”.
