This movie is such a huge cult classic. I can’t remember the first time I saw it, but I know I know that I did fall in love immediately. Something about movies about ‘bad girls’ or ‘girl gangs’ just really amuses and intrigues me.
The film is about three go-go dancers looking to get some thrills in the dessert. As they race around in their fast cars, they quickly discover a couple on their way out to the dessert as well. The head of the pack, Varla, savagely murders the boyfriend then takes the girlfriend, Linda, hostage. The three girls hop into their separate cars and drive off to a gas station. One of the girls, Billie, sees a good looking guy pushing a man in a wheel chair. The gas attendant tells the girls that the father is extremely wealthy, and the son, who is pushing him has the brain of a vegetable. Varla decides that the pack should follow them out to their house to steal the old man’s money. Soon after arriving at the Ranch the girls are discovered. They tell the old man that Linda was involved in a freak accident, is the daughter of politicians, and is mentally unstable, so they have to tie her up and gag her and return her to her parents. The old man invites the girls to lunch, and they accept. From here on out it becomes a knock down, drag out race for every person’s life, the money, and love.
Everything about this movie is high drama, and action packed. This film is quite possibly the ultimate in young boy fantasies. There are girls who like girls, girls who like boys, girls who fight with each other, revealing midriffs, low cut tops, girls in bikinis, car races, gun battles, weight lifting, and so much more. Everyone should see this movie because it is such a classic gem.
