Hmm idk what you guys are talking about. I am a girl and I LOVE this movie. At first it might not seem that good, but when you watch it all the way to the end everything comes together and the storyline is genius in my opinion. And the fight scenes towards the end are very well done I say. Everyone I’ve showed this movie, likes it as much as I do. I really don’t see what there is to complain about =/.

I saw it after reading that these were guys from Xena, and it shows. I had lots of fun with it, because it wasn’t supposed to be any good.

One thing it has on the other grindhouse wannabes it’s that this one isn’t that much as a vanity project, like Hell Ride.

This one is OK to watch along with Black Dynamite. But not on the level of bad of The Room.

“Movies are so rarely great art, that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have very little reason to be interested in them.” – Pauline Kael

I enjoyed Bitch Slap as great trash – and I’m not a frat boy.

I’ve not seen Bitch Slap but I do agree with where you are coming from here. The problem with the sub-Tarantino grindhouse wannabes is that they don’t understand that the cult films the rest of us came to love became cult films by accident.

When people self-consciously set out to make something that will be embraced as a ‘cult classic’, without understanding why the original exploitation films were embraced in the way they were, the results are inevitably dire.

But Brian they used the same font as the Cinema Suicide logo. Ya gotta give them points for that:)

I actually enjoyed the film. A bunch of my buddies got together to watch it and we laughed a lot at it’s cartoon style. It was like a bachelor party except with the bonus of explosions and girl on girl smack downs. I was entertained.

Spot on – I frickin’ HATED this movie! Yet another modern would-be hipster film that thinks it would be unseemly to include actual exploitation elements in their retro-exploitation flick. Where in the world did these fools get the idea that it is possible, let alone laudable, to produce a genre film that steadfastly avoids the conventions of the genre. Maybe Rick Jacobson will direct a smugly self-satisfied comedy without any jokes in it next, or a musical without songs?

The claims of lineage to Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! are tenuous and superficial at best – it could’ve just as well asserted that it was a distaff update of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Really, this was VIP: The Motion Picture or DOA: Dead or Alive meets Hell Ride – i.e. Maxim-style faux eroticism (cleavage – how….’50s) mixed with a splash of blood and shaken into Tarantino-esque non-linearity that earns its R- (or Un-)rating primarily by virtue of cuss words. Try not to get too excited, kids!

And at 109 minutes it’s overlong by a half-an-hour, at least.

So did you like it or didn’t you? Stop being so vague!

I haven’t seen this movie, but I know this feeling you are talking about. I think it has to do with the effort that was put into making a film in the 70s and 80s compared to now. Back then, you had to creatively come up with effects and although the movies had director, they seem to have a more cohesive production. Now, it seems like it revolves around one person and the rest of the people just show up and do their jobs. The actors never meet the graphics people and they just act in front of a green screen.

WOW!! tell us how you really feel!! But a couple of points :

Underworld – Watchable, but a total rip-off of White Wolf so I kind of agree with you there.

Freddy got fingered and the pest?? Spot on there..

But you forgot Napoleon Dynamite and AvP Worst. Movies. Ever.

Suffice to say, I guess I won’t be seeing this one.
