Switchblade Sisters 1975

Jack Hill’s Switchblade Sisters is a MAD MOVIE MUST SEE for his fans.  Seriously, what’s not to love about this?  Did you know Jack Hill interviewed girls from actual girl gangs at the time?  The idea of a movie about girl gangs seemed preposterous whether they were beauties or not. I am happy to say most of the female persuasion in this film are very easy to look at and exciting too.  It stars Robbie Lee (Big Bad Mama) as cute as she is dangerous, Joanne Nail (Full Moon High) as the new girl on the street falling into dangerous territory with the outrageous gang of hoodlums, and Monica Gayle as a somewhat loyal second in charge.  Co-starring is Asher Brauner, Kitty Bruce, Janice Karman (voices the chipmunks in Alvin and the Chipmunks), Marlene Clark (Sanford and Son), Don Stark (That 70s Show) and Bob Minor (The Swinging Cheerleaders).  You are in for some trashy fun as this film has a mix of sex, jealousy and hot women brandishing blades and guns - Get ready for a wild time.  Robbie Lee stands out giving a MAD performance as the vicious gang leader.  This in my opinion was the peak of her short career.  MAD Movie fans of the genre can thank Quentin Tarantino for releasing this film several years ago on VHS and DVD with his Rolling Thunder Pictures.  He adds his personal intro and closing comments before and after the film with a history lesson on Jack Hill films.  This is a five star MAD movie MUST SEE.
