A Tribute to the Late Great Russ Meyer: "Faster Pussycat Fuck! Fuck!" Elizabeth Starr's remake of Meyer's classic features bra-busting boobs, fast cars, and Ron Jeremy.  The film world suffered a great loss upon the passing of filmmaker Russ Meyer last year, who left behind a legacy of finely crafted softcore productions. Known for the giant-breasted starlets he cast in his productions and the unique style and look of his films, a Meyer flick was almost instantly recognizable to those with even the slightest knowledge of his work.
So what better way to pay tribute to the "King of the Nudies" than a hardcore remake of his most famous film (my favorite film of all-time!), Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! , starring Tura Satana. Titanic-titted Elizabeth Starr wrote, directed, and co-stars in the remake with cameos from Ron Jeremy and Meyer veteran, Kitten Natividad. This time around the three leads are played by Summer Cummings (in the "Varla" role) as Pussy Lamore, Tiffany Towers (in the "Billie role") as Betty Bubbles, and Starr (in the "Rosie" role) as Ruby Rockets.
The film starts out just like the original, with the three vixens working their jobs as go-go dancers at a strip club and letting off steam by racing hot rods in the desert. While racing, the three come across Hot Rod (Rod Long) and his girlfriend Kitty (Daphne Rosen) also looking for a race. This time, when the four compete, the prize is a little different-winner fucks loser! Betty emerges victorious as the winner and gets to fuck Rod, the loser. While those two go at it against a car door, Pussy entertains Kitty on the other side. Boy/Girl and Girl/Girl action at the same time! After Betty finishes Rod off, Pussy takes her turn with him, but her enormous bosom send him into a state of unconsciousness. So the ladies take off, taking Kitty hostage and leaving Rod to perish in the hot desert.
Next, the vixens wander upon a compound in the desert headed up by one Dick Dude Ranch (Ron Jeremy). Dick's daughter Dixie (Kandi Cox) takes Betty inside for what amounts to the world's longest girl/girl scene. Later Pussy and Ruby show up and Pussy ends up giving a blow-job to Dick's vegetable-like son, Dicky (Dik Silver). As far as the sex scenes go, it pretty much ends there. Pussy and Ruby walk off into the sunset and everyone lives hornily after ever, much unlike the original.
Amazingly, the locations used here are almost identical to the original Faster, with the backdrop of the Mojave desert for the racing scenes. Not much else comes close in terms of quality. The boobs are much bigger, but Starr's and Cumming's F-cup+ mammaries don't look sexy, just ridiculous. One wonders how Starr holds hers up without back problems, much less looking like a freakshow wherever she goes. But Meyer himself would be proud as he often said "the bigger, the better." In his day, though, boob jobs were uncommon, and the fake-titted women here hardly measure up to the natural beauties featured in his films
The sex scenes are random and snore-worthy. The original Faster had no sex or nudity to speak of, but was much hotter than anything featured here. Though there may have been problems in the filming, I was a bit shocked that a feature porn film only included four scenes and only ONE boy/girl sex scene. The girl/girl scene between Kandi Kox and Tiffany Towers went on for so long and was so dull that I fell asleep.
There are some special feature here, including a "making of" documentary, stills from the movie, live weblinks, and an additional scenes with Ron Jeremy and Daphne Rosen that is so god-awful they removed the live sound from it. Jeremy's performing days may be over...he has to hold his cock at the base whenever it's on screen so it'll appear to be hard, even though it's clearly not. Rosen looks so uncomfortable that she barely opens her eyes during the whole scene. Ugh.
Needless to say, I was more than a bit disappointed with this one. Paying tribute to a legendary director and his greatest film was no easy task and these gals didn't even come close. The best thing about Faster Pussycat Fuck! Fuck! is the box cover. However, the average Meyer fan may appreciate the gargantuan breasts and campy innuendo. My best advice, however, would be to avoid this one at all costs.
