Storyline

- TriviaQuentin Tarantino, a longtime fan of Jack Hill's work, bought the rights to the film and re-released it in 1996 through his film company Rolling Thunder Pictures. He held a huge premiere and a celebration at a theater in Los Angeles which the film's original cast attended. Co-star Marlene Clark remembered the event in an interview many years later and laughed about it. "My commercial agency called me and said "We have an invitation to a screening of SWITCHBLADE SISTERS!" Clark laughed. "[Rolling Thunder] actually sent a car to bring me to the screening! All the way over I thought, "This is a flashback. I'm having a breakdown." Nope! I got to the theater, and it was for real! All the other women from the movie were there, and there was a nice little party afterwards at a place called the Red Room. It was amazing."

Featured review
A persons impression of a movie sometimes depends on what they're expecting before they see it. You gotta go into this one expecting a low budget poorly acted 70's action film. If you do, you'll be quite impressed! The acting isn't all that bad. Lace can get a little annoying, talking through clenched teeth like she does, but she acts pretty well during her softer parts. And the movie is funny! I was not expecting to actually laugh out loud during it, but I did in several spots. This movie is kind of like The Warriors meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High meets L7. :')
And there were even a couple touching moments to the film that I wasn't expecting. The characters are interesting too. I can see why Quentin Tarantino likes this film. If you are a fan of his, and don't mind B movies, I think you'll like this.
