   Switchblade Sisters (1975).
   A Jack Hill exploitation with juvenile gang warfare, girls in prison, rape, high school, boobs, roller-skates, militant blacks and shoot outs. It was good fun! 6/10.

   By the director of Foxy Brown, Coffy and The Big Doll House comes The Switchblade Sisters, a girls gone bad action tragedy that comfortably sits with the best exploitation flicks of the 70s. The funk soundtrack puts you in mind of blaxploitation films, but trades in women as the minority sticking it to the Man (literally). There's a prison scene, but the girl gang is soon back on the street, or the schoolyard, as this puts twentysomethings in high school where they run adult rackets - the school is a setting, and nothing more - and have to deal with a rival gang who lost their school and are being transferred. A new girl joins the Dagger Debs, but is Maggie (Joanne Nail) loyal, or does she have reasons to infiltrate the gang (like an unsavory sexual assault)? Internal politics between the girls go beyond the simple pecking order (poor Donut) and are sending us headlong into a deadly cat fight with tragic consequences (in an Othello kind of way). Imaginative action sequences, cool badass chicks, memorable characters. and just the right touch of ridiculousness. 7 months ago
