Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)


Three wild women in three fast cars take time off from stripping in clubs to go on a murder rampage. They kidnap and drug the girlfriend of one of their victims and hole up at a secluded ranch owned by a wheelchair-bound man and his two sons.
This remains Russ Meyer's most accepted art house master piece, although it originally met with warm receptions upon its release. The monochrome images are iconic, representing 1960s American exploitation cinema at its most gritty and with tough women causing the ruthless violence it also allows the movie to serve as a graphic and slightly s&m feminist statement.
