What happens

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and Jack Moran. It follows three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert. The film is known for its violence, provocative gender roles, and eminently quotable "dialogue to shame Raymond Chandler". It is also remembered for the performance of star Tura Satana, whose character Richard Corliss called "the most honest, maybe the one honest portrayal in the Meyer canon and certainly the scariest". Faster, Pussycat! was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release, but it has since become widely regarded as a cult classic and influential film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
