Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) Directed by: Russ Meyer--COLORIZED TRAILER

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is the Russ Meyer film with which most people are familiar. A box office bomb initially despite its paltry five-figure budget, it's basically retained a cult status since its initial release and has gone on to inspire the likes of veteran filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino (whose film Death Proof is essentially one long homage to Meyer), John Waters, and Rick Jacobson. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! isn't Meyer at his most entertaining but it's him at his most kinetic and liberated. With hardly any money, three charismatic women, some sultry outfits, and a hot-rod, he does more than many filmmakers have done with excess, and his economy on top of his subversion of gender roles.
