Interesteg What makes it different from others?

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

FireFan These kinky Molls of the Night are an unusual gang being serious toughs that are in a campy movie of comedy-like yet violent situations. They get plenty of respect and get really wild in here. I loved the whole gang and actress Monica Gayle is fine, but don't get me wrong because I would be frightened of them! The girls offset by contrast to what we are accustomed to seeing in the sweet stereotyped woman and shock our senses at carrying what they're all named for. In my opinion who would be so daring as to show off to an already brutal world like these girls do here. You wish they had more love in their hearts. But they all deserve a better deal and you can feel this for them throughout the movie. Monica Gayle is a loving actress but here she makes a great tie-in explaination to what is going on in the main plot. This film is a well-worth viewing movie and my only regretful disappointment is what happened in the ending. It is something you should see but maybe not for everybody.

Michael_Elliott Switchblade Sisters (1975) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Trashy cult classic from Jack Hill has new girl Maggie (Joanne Nail) joining up with a female gang being ran by Lace (Robbie Lee) but soon everyone's loyalty is tested when a rival gang causes trouble. If you're looking for a thought-provoking, deep and serious look at females in trouble then it's best you go check out some talky foreign film. If you want sleaze, nudity, violence, cat fights and that sort of thing then Jack Hill's film is just what you're looking for. It's easy to watch this film and realize why it has become a cult favorite over the years because there are just so many classic scenes within the genre. While the film isn't perfect and there are certainly some weak moments, there's still no question that the film contains some of the best scenes from this type of exploitation picture. One such scene happens rather early on when the girls are sentenced to a jail and they come under attack from a large woman who is the boss. What happens during the two attack scenes are just priceless and will have the viewer rolling. Another terrific scene happens towards the middle when there's a violent gun battle at a roller rink. Purely priceless this scene is. The performances aren't what we'd consider "good" but I think everyone fits their roles just fine. This is especially true of Nail and Lee. It's also fun seeing Lenny Bruce's daughter Kitty in the cast as Donut. Hill keeps the film moving at a very good pace and there's all sorts of fun to be had throughout. SWITCHBLADE SISTERS deserves its cult reputation without question.

marcus-brainard Jack Hill also did Coffy & did a good job about updating The 1963-era "Birmingham Angel" to Pam Grier. I wonder if Pam Grier remembered, "Birmingham Sunday"? The Jezebels got some reinforcement from a black girl group that followed Mao. However In life I've seen a black girl with a 1955 Packard Clipper beat up a bully in real life back in 1963. The urban assault car came from a 1955 Packard Patrician 4-Dr. Sedan so Jack Hill & I met halfway. Kitty Bruce's Donut was a thankless character, but she was loyal to the end. The Movie was unreal in some parts, but people actually think they can get away with it but in reality check, you get it in the end. If I did the screen writing, The black girl gang led by Muff would be shown as spirits & have 1950s cars with lethal death rays installed in them and poisoned black smoke & the led car would be a 1955 Packard Clipper Sedan & when the black girl gang leave the scene a mist is used and they go into the mist and vanish. And when they unleash there weapons on Crabs' Teen Patrol they would yell: "We didn't forget what happened on Birmingham Sunday, on September 15, 1963 & this one is for Denise McNair & her fellow school girls!" and they would zap The Teen Patrol with death rays & vaporized them & get most of the members. However Crabs gets it by Lace. The movie was good and Jack Hill met me halfway with the urban assault vehicle made from a 1955 Packard & didn't name the leader, "Esther Williams". I liked the movie & it's in my collection. With a girl gang like The Jezebels, they make Charles Starkweather look like Pope John Paul II. That's it for now. Marcus Brainard

EmperorNortonII "Switchblade Sisters" is little more than a cheaply-made 1970's exploitation movie. Quentin Tarantino may have liked it, but it's not for everyone. The main actresses, Bonnie Lee and Joanna Nail, look too pretty to be the leaders of a tough all-girl street gang. The costuming shows '70s bad taste, not likely to look tough on any gang member. And there aren't any stars to speak of that appear. Although you can see Don Stark from "That '70s Show" as Hook of the Silver Daggers, and Kitty Bruce, daughter of the late Lenny Bruce, appears as Donut of the Dagger Debs. If you're really into action movies, or 70's-era kitsch, you might enjoy it. You might even get a good laugh out of it! Otherwise, don't waste your time!
