Movie Reviews of Switchblade Sisters
Movie Review: Great fun comic book action
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this Jack Hill film from 1975.It was fun to watch from start to finish.2 gangs go up against each other in an all out duel in a roller ring shoot out,then wild in the streets with the help of a black panther female run like gang.The one gang called The Sivler Daggers reminded me of a greaser stlye gang with the leather jackets and switch blade knives,also complete with a girl that has an eye patch(she lost an eye in a fight of course).Really just over the top and unrealistic but so much fun with action and dialouge that seemed to come off of the pages of a comic book.The Dagger Debs(the gangs girlfriends) kick the guys out of their own gang the Silver Daggers(they think maybe these guys are too soft) after their leader gets knocked off in a roller rink shootout.Then the girls change their gangs name to the Jezebells and go out to seek revenge for their dead leader and go up agaisnt their rival .There happens to be a rift among the Jezebell girls as there might be a traitor or traitors within their she gang.I highly recommend the "Switch Blade Sisters".I've watched this more then once and will see it again.
Summary of Switchblade Sisters
Jack Hill's SWITCHBLADE SISTERS is the outlandish, action-packed story of a tough gang of teenage girls -- the all-female Dagger Debs -- who are looking for love and fighting for turf on the mean streets of the city! Bad girls to the core, these impossibly outrageous high school hoodlums go where they want ... and create mayhem wherever they go! A riotously entertaining mix of sex, jealousy, and massive firepower that critics loved -- don't miss your chance to see one of the wildest films ever made!Jack Hill's 1975 drive-in opus, Switchblade Sisters, has all the requisite cheese and then some: girl fights, gun duels, sex-starved reform school guards, flashes of nudity, and even African-American-Maoist-revolutionary-butt-kicking chicks who don't take nonsense from anyone. The story is a prime example of how the influence of great filmmakers can be reprocessed into pure exploitation: Maggie (Joanne Nail), a smart, new member of a distaff gang, presents a threat to the group's established leader (Robbie Lee). The intricacies of their subsequent relationship--love, betrayal, and a battle for control--has numerous echoes of the films of Nicholas Ray and Howard Hawks, and Hill plays it all with a seriousness that underscores the heart within this trash classic. No wonder Quentin Tarantino became this film's latter-day benefactor, promoting its 1998 theatrical re-release under the auspices of his revival imprint, Rolling Thunder Pictures. --Tom Keogh
