IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Leofwine_draca A classic slice of '70s exploitation, which mixes in all the familiar ingredients from gang movies - drugs, prostitution, street wars, cat fights, double-crosses, and drive-by shootings - into one satisfying whole. Directed by the almost legendary Jack Hill as one of his last movies, this is a fast-paced and sometimes thrilling movie with plenty of treachery, name-calling, back-stabbing, and violence to recommend it to fans. It's also one of Quentin Tarantino's favourites, which is why it got a re-release through his Rolling Thunder label. The acting from the mostly unknown young cast is very good, with each of the (mainly female) cast convincing in their roles, particularly Robbie Lee and Joanne Nail as the two rival antagonists who battle for control of the gang.During the course of its running time, SWITCHBLADE SISTERS packs in a stay at a prison ruled over by a perverted lesbian guard; a shoot-out at an ice rink which makes excellent use of its location; an incredible street battle with Molotov cocktails, armoured vehicles, explosions and machine-gun battles in the street, and to top it all off a sickeningly violent cat fight between two switchblade-wielding gang members. The film does an admirable job of maintaining tension throughout and building up the suspense towards the finale, as evil eye patch-wearing Patch stirs up trouble and leads things to a final showdown. The police can't believe their eyes, and neither will the viewer! A solid juvenile delinquent movie from the drive-in days, the kind of which they don't make any longer, sadly.

MartinHafer "The Jezebels" is also known as "Switchblade Sisters". And, whatever you call it, it's complete crap. Now this is NOT meant as criticism. It's obvious the folks making this wanted to make a trashy movie and boy did they make a nasty, crappy picture!! It's violent, stupid and even promotes the old rape myth! So, it certainly is not a film to show your mother or Father Jenkins.The film begins with a gang of female punks attacking Maggie in a restaurant. Next thing you know, the ladies are in jail and the leader and intended victim become best friends! Soon, when they are all out of stir, the gang welcomes the newest recruit, Maggie, by raping her. Nice folks, huh? But the victim isn't particularly put out by this and soon she helps them in a gang war. And, before you know it, Maggie is their leader and makes friends with a local lady Black Panthers group and the war is on! But there is a traitor within the gang and Maggie's reign might be coming to a swift end. And, when the film ends, it sure looks as if there will be a sequel--which there wasn't.There really isn't a lot of good in the film. It's super-violent and sadistic and unrepentantly nasty. And, because of that, the film is, in a sick way, quite entertaining---sort of a guilty pleasure if you are a bad movie buff.

Michael_Elliott Switchblade Sisters (1975) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Trashy cult classic from Jack Hill has new girl Maggie (Joanne Nail) joining up with a female gang being ran by Lace (Robbie Lee) but soon everyone's loyalty is tested when a rival gang causes trouble. If you're looking for a thought-provoking, deep and serious look at females in trouble then it's best you go check out some talky foreign film. If you want sleaze, nudity, violence, cat fights and that sort of thing then Jack Hill's film is just what you're looking for. It's easy to watch this film and realize why it has become a cult favorite over the years because there are just so many classic scenes within the genre. While the film isn't perfect and there are certainly some weak moments, there's still no question that the film contains some of the best scenes from this type of exploitation picture. One such scene happens rather early on when the girls are sentenced to a jail and they come under attack from a large woman who is the boss. What happens during the two attack scenes are just priceless and will have the viewer rolling. Another terrific scene happens towards the middle when there's a violent gun battle at a roller rink. Purely priceless this scene is. The performances aren't what we'd consider "good" but I think everyone fits their roles just fine. This is especially true of Nail and Lee. It's also fun seeing Lenny Bruce's daughter Kitty in the cast as Donut. Hill keeps the film moving at a very good pace and there's all sorts of fun to be had throughout. SWITCHBLADE SISTERS deserves its cult reputation without question.

EmperorNortonII "Switchblade Sisters" is little more than a cheaply-made 1970's exploitation movie. Quentin Tarantino may have liked it, but it's not for everyone. The main actresses, Bonnie Lee and Joanna Nail, look too pretty to be the leaders of a tough all-girl street gang. The costuming shows '70s bad taste, not likely to look tough on any gang member. And there aren't any stars to speak of that appear. Although you can see Don Stark from "That '70s Show" as Hook of the Silver Daggers, and Kitty Bruce, daughter of the late Lenny Bruce, appears as Donut of the Dagger Debs. If you're really into action movies, or 70's-era kitsch, you might enjoy it. You might even get a good laugh out of it! Otherwise, don't waste your time!
