Brace yourself for a Bitch Slap

The Bullets, Brawls and Breasts of Bitch Slap
Harking back to the days of Russ Meyer, Roger Corman and other sexploitation era pioneers comes a modern day self aware salute. Inspired by cult classics like Faster Pussycat Kill Kill and Dragstrip Girls, the official Bitch Slap website begins its synopsis: “Bitch Slap is a post modern, thinking man’s throwback to the “B” Movie/exploitation films of the 1950’s-70’s as well as a loving, sly parody of the same.”
John Doe didn’t need to read any further than that to know this was his favourite flavour of trash cinema. This flesh for fantasy story is about a trio of full chested, double barrelled vixens on a mission to extort cash from a drug lord. The whole thing goes pear shaped when deranged villains, violent crooks and twisted morality enter the equation.
Structured for a plot collision in the vengeful finale, there is a second story told in reverse character flashbacks, Memento style. Bitch Slap is written and Directed by Rick Jacobson and Eric Gruendemann. (Click HERE to see a video interview with Jacobson and Gruendemann)
Providing the hard bodied, moist torsos in front of the camera are Erin Cummins playing Hel the corporate brains behind the crime. Julia Voth as the erotic temptress Trixie and America Olivo is the ass kicking, drug runner Camero.
Searching through their names on imdb.com these girls credits extend to beautiful woman #1 on How I Met Your Mother. Speaking of B grade, Hercules Kevin Sorbo and Xena Lucy Lawless also show up, though JD has never been a fan of either show.
The trailer certainly shows signs of Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill and though no dialogue is revealed, if you go to the official site you will find a few words of wise female empowerment.
Rated PG - DD For Pervasive Naughtiness. With a Parental Advisory on Guns Jugs and True Love, this is a man bashing girl power treat that this boy is lining up to ogle.

I'd watch this to see what's what, but I hate the style on the posters, didn't like the trailer much. It just doesn't seem fun enough!

I don't know quite what to make of it all. Is this pre-empting the re-boot of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! ??

Meyer and Corman would be proud to call this one their own..the genre was perfectly captured.

I liked both clips for the trash appeal, but the 2nd one does have more substance for sure.....channelling ken Russell I agree, now where are those Devils?

Did you follow the link to teh interview with teh filmmakers? By the sounds of it "Camp Fun" seems to be the focus. I laughed out loud at the trailer, but thats just me easily amused by bouncing cleavage!
Personally I love the poster art work, but then I'm a sucker for edgy comic book flavour. The Trixie one being my fave.

Considering that the writer/Directors worked on Hercules/Zena it makes sense they would have some of the cast in it...though personally i can't stand either show.
The official website has no qualms about acknowleging its Russ Meyer influences, but its not a Pussycat remake....that's Tarantino's pleasure isn't it?

I just put up my official birthday post where the real celebration begins...
Agreed that the big breasted, guns, babes and muscle cars seem to have all been given appropriate attention...this will either be a wonderful guilty pleasure, or an absolute bummer.
