Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is my second choice for HBFC grande openin. It is a 1965 film that was directed by Russ Meyer, who also wrote the script, together with Jack Moran. It stars Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams.

The film features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative gender roles, and campy dialogue. It has become a cult film favorite and has been widely referred to in pop culture.

It is one of Meyer's more provocatively titled and explicitly exploitative films, yet unlike most of his films it does not contain explicit nudity.

A possible remake is in talks with Quentin Tarantino, an outspoken fan of the original film, to direct with Kim Kardashian, Eva Mendes, and Britney Spears as the trio.[1] Lead actress Tura Satana has recently stated that she feels none of Tarantino's choices are remotely suitable for portraying Varla.
