Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! was a box-office failure on its release in 1965. It has since been embraced by art-house audiences and referenced in countless films, television series, and songs. A riot of styles and story clichés lifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, and beach party movies, the film has the coherence of a dream and the improvisatory daring of a jazz solo. This book considers the production and critical reception of the film, its place within the culture of the 1960s, its representations of gender and sexuality, and the specific ways it meets cult film criteria.

"Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) is an enigma. A box-office failure when initially released on the grindhouse circuit, it has since been embraced by art-house audiences, and referenced in countless films, television series, and songs. A riot of styles and story clichés lifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, and beach party movies, it has the coherence of a dream, and the improvisatory daring of a jazz solo. John Waters has called it the greatest movie ever made, and Quentin Tarantino has long promised to remake it. But what draws them, and so many other cult fans to Pus."
