Gleefully sordid, violent, good-humored exploitation from Russ Meyer, the thinking person's skin-flick director.

Some good performances emerge from a one-note script via very good Russ Meyer direction and his outstanding editing.

This one aimed for the unsophisticated drive-in market with its rich mixture of sex and violence, but served up no nudity or swearing.

A cheap and efficient comic horror movie, it's funniest when its dialogue and characters' behaviour are at their most non sequitur.

Joel Schumacher, camp? Meh - this is camp, and this is undeniably a wild good time.

This is the ultimate expression of the American cinema's greatest fetishes: big breasts, fast cars, tight jeans, and sudden death. This is, in its own way, one of the great films of the 60's.

The sex is intended to arouse, the violence to excite, and the combination enables Faster Pussycat's status as an absolute masterpiece of subversion.

An awful movie but a tremendous spectacle and a pinnacle of camp exuberance, NOT to be missed.

I've always felt that Faster, Pussycat! suffered from an absence of Meyer's usual creative flourishes.

The shoestring production values are so weak, the story is so lame and the acting is so bad that there's no mistaking this Pussycat for anything but what it is - a turkey.

I guess plunging necklines and tight shorts aren't what they used to be... Not that such a realization will hamper anyone's enjoyment of this, or any other, Meyer endeavor.
