Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! [Blu-ray] [US]

Release Date: 7/4/2026

Russ Meyer's explosive cult classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! roars back to life in a newly restored, high-definition Blu-ray edition--presented by RM Films International and the Russ Meyer Trust. Often hailed as the ultimate drive-in movie, this 1965 grindhouse milestone fuses savage energy, sexual rebellion, and pop-art brilliance into one of the most unforgettable films of its era.

The story follows three lethal go-go dancers--Varla (Tura Satana), Rosie (Haji), and Billie (Lori Williams)--whose desert joyride turns into a blood-soaked odyssey of greed, vengeance, and violent empowerment. Behind the wheel and armed to the teeth, these women are belted, buckled, and booted, tearing through a world of weak men and broken dreams with fearless fury. Satana's commanding performance remains legendary--a feminist antihero decades ahead of her time--and Meyer's hyper-stylized direction transforms the barren Mojave into a surreal battleground of lust and liberation.

Shot in crisp black-and-white and restored in 1080p from the original negative, this release captures every curve, punch, and tire screech of Meyer's most iconic masterpiece. Combining Wagnerian melodrama, absurdist humor, and a punk spirit long before punk existed, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is part action film, part social satire, and pure cinematic adrenaline.

Long celebrated by critics and cult audiences alike, the film has been described by Roger Ebert as "breasts as weapons," by the New York Daily News as "an inimitably bizarre blend of Wagnerian operatics, hillbilly humor, and radical social criticism," and by The New York Post as "America through a warped looking glass held by Charles Manson."

A cornerstone of grindhouse cinema and a defiant celebration of female power, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! remains Russ Meyer's crowning achievement--faster, fiercer, and more gloriously unhinged than ever.
