Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/13/2004 Rating: R

Amazon.com:
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




Rating: - My girlfriend said "They should have paid YOU to buy this movie!"
Ahhhhh, yes "Switchblade Sisters", let me see if I can classify this movie: IT'S ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT IS SO UTTERLY BAD, THE ACTING IS SO OUT THERE BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S ENTERTAINING ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN SIT THERE AND ENJOY IT!.
This is another one of my classic VHS to DVD transfer purchases, I've had this movie on VHS for so long, I just had to have it on DVD. My girlfriend even sat and watched it with me and the funny part is that movies that she has watched with me that were 10 ... Read More

Rating: - Better Rent this one
Falls short on the Raunch "B" movie fans have grown to love. I purchased this movie, because it was not at my local video store, I wish it had been. Some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

Rating: - you gotta love it
you really need to enjoy this genre to appreciate this movie. If you watch it with some popcorn and some good blacksploitation movies to follow, you will love it.

Great one liner quotes,and more.

the movie itself actually is really entertaining for its day and style.

Rating: - "Everybody's Gotta Be In A Gang!"
I saw this gem way back before Quentin Tarrantino rereleased it on Rolling Thunder Pictures, and I dug the hell out of it. Not trying to prove how old school I am with that, but it's odd how this film was universally reviled before, and now is considered a cult classic. It's still the same movie it was before Tarrantino put this DVD out. I just wanna make it known that this is one person who always liked it.

First of all, this is not meant to be a realistic portrayal of what life ... Read More

Rating: - A terrible beauty
This film is top-notch comedy that is terrible on purpose. Kick back with your film student friends and show them this example of film for the fun of it.
