Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Oddly, you can not get this film nor any other Russ Meyer film on Netflix other than the Roger Ebert-penned "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls."

This is odd to me because "Faster Pussycat" is considering a classic film of some artistic or camp value. In addition, it's a fringe fav capturing big cars, big tits, fighting, cussing, boozing and surviving.

It's also Meyer's tamest film as there's no nudity, language, overt violence or anything explicit. There's suggestion and that's about it.

This is a fun movie. I'm not going to pan it because it's not worth it. This is meant to be a bad film, yet the strong female characters give it a totally different vibe that still resonates today, 40 years after the popularity of the go-go dancer.
