"Breastploitation" filmmaker Russ Meyer's take on the biker film craze of the 60's. I still think it's the best title outta all of 'em... even if the film is the one of the worst. "Motor Psycho" precedes "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" but the style is the same, the very same.
Russ Meyer was a cult figure to me and some of my film nerd friends from the 80's. To be honest, the hype of his films, at least to thirteen year olds, was much "bigger" than the actual films themselves. I guess our 80's standards of B-film raunch, had already surpassed the themes of sex and violence of 1965. Still, here was a guy that was able to make a bunch of successful, independent films that featured stars with huge boobs. Come on now!
Russ at "work."
In his "twilight."
