- Synopsis
- Bitch Slap is a post-modern, thinking man’s throwback to the B-movie exploitation films of the 1950’s-70’s as well as a loving, sly parody of the same. Inspired by the likes of Dragstrip Girl; Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill; Kung Fu Nun; and the pantheon of Blaxploitation films, BITCH SLAP will mix girls, guns, outrageous action, and jaw-dropping visuals with a message ... don’t be naughty!
At its core BITCH SLAP follows three bad girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer, and a corporate power broker) as they arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort and steal $200 million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and they are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected ... themselves. It’s the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize the whole she-bang was a set-up and one of them may not even be human.
What also makes BITCH SLAP different is a complicated secondary b-story device that runs throughout the film to illuminate character, backstory, and relationship histories not previously revealed. Like the film Memento, these scene flashbacks take place in reverse, so by the end of the film you have a wholly different take on who these women are and why they are behaving so badly. Bet you never saw THAT in Jailbait Babysitter!-

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Overblown and underwhelming, 'Bitch Slap' is a desperately unfunny attempt to satirically recycle cliches and archetypes from sexploitation actioners of the 1960s and '70s"
-
"Over-the-top -- and ultimately tiresome -- female mud-wrestling, kick-boxing and cat fights in a parody of old exploitation movies."
-
"'Bitch Slap' is garbage. It's self-aware garbage - garbage that explores and celebrates, in postmodern fashion, precisely what it means to be garbage. But that doesn't make it stink any less."
