In BITCH SLAP, director Rick Jacobson lets loosethree babes of retro exploitation action pics ina search for stolen diamonds. Using the samepostmodern framework as Quentin Tarantino,Jacobson steps on the gas with inspiration fromRuss Meyer’s notorious 1965 cult classic FASTER,PUSSYCAT ! KILL! KILL! In the middle of the deserthe unites special-op Hel, innocent stripper Trixieand psycho killer Camero. What follows is a campexploration of explosive and edgy violence as theytake up the fight against a powerful crime lord anddo their best to hide private secrets that could turnthem against each other.
An unapologetic tribute to the golden era ofexploitation, BITC H SLAP is all about surfaceappeal - bizarre gunfights, beat downs, stilettoheels and slow-mo action designed with greattechnical skill. There is even a cameo appearanceby legendary stuntwoman and frequentTarantino-collaborator, Zoe Bell, who also lendsher talent as stunt co-coordinator to the film,giving an extraordinary physical presence to itstrio of female protagonists.
