Bitch Slap [Blu-ray]

I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting when I rented Bitch Slap, besides of course beautiful women romping around in inappropriate clothing, which I got in abundance, but I sure wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie as much as I did. Nor did I expect such an in-depth, amusing, and unusually long "making of" special feature. I certainly wasn't expecting some of the candid reveals the heroines give in their voice-over (1 of 2 excellent audio commentary tracks). And I sure never expected to then rush out and buy this modern-day homage to the sexploitation films of my youth, but it was so fun I couldn't resist.Bitch Slap is by no means perfect. Its very low budget meant the makers had to live with some scene continuity issues that a more flush production would have fixed. The green screen work was at times painfully obvious, but I personally found that it added to the overall and over the top camp the film embraced. Some will disagree. Some might also be disappointed with an almost complete lack of nudity (there is a half-second blip of a nipple in a bar scene), but on this topic I think Slap's creators were spot on. The lack of nudity is much like the fabled Persian Flaw - a purposeful mar introduced so as not to offend the gods with man-made perfection. The female leads are so gorgeous, frankly, that had they bared all I would still be watching that movie. I'm sure the producers wanted to avoid lawsuits involving >4hour erectile issues. Also, and I mean this with all sincerity, Bitch Slap is not a bad date movie. Add nudity, however, and your female friend goes from thinking "I totally want to be that kick-ass chick" to "e[...] porn".To be clear, Bitch Slap is first and foremost a movie about hot women in skimpy clothes being bad-asses. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, well... I feel a little sorry for you and you should probably skip this movie. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a movie that actually manages to pay loving tribute to the sexploitation genre without itself being just another bad, B-movie then this is a must see.My only real complaint, and it's actually quite a big one, is that Bitch Slap does not seem to be available in Blu-Ray. For a movie that is in almost every sense of the word, beautiful, that I can't be watching the greatest cat-fight in history on Blu-Ray hi-def is a crime. Of course, what I'm really grumpy about is that I'm going to be buying this movie twice when the Blu-Ray version does come out.Oh well. Life's a Bitch.

Bitch Slap is my kind of B-movie. Hot ass-kicking chicks is pretty high on my list in criteria for an awesome movie.Three fetching young ladies are after $200 million in diamonds, which takes place at the "bad guy's" (Gage, Michael Hurst, although I can only think of one "good guy" in this flick) compound in the desert. Of course, the story veers off into various directions, mostly through a series of progressively reversing flashbacks. They're all done in front of a green screen, which effectively gives it a Sin City feel.What's not to like here? It's over-the-top, super-gratuitous, bloody, violent, plenty of action, the writing is fun, great flashbacks, campy, there is lesbian action, as well as great characters. I love the sound effects whenever a woman is hit in the chooch! And there is an entire break where the girls just pour buckets of water on each other.America Olivo (Camero) is aces at playing the hot butt-kicking psycho be-yotch (check her out in Neighbor for a similar character portrayal). I was shocked to learn she only got this part after someone else backed out.There is also a crazy, butt-kicking Japanese chick (Kinki, Minae Noji) with a killer yo-yo. Maybe every character is crazy, when you get right down to it.This movie even had a good soundtrack. Extended catfights to screaming metal? Yes, please.There is a stellar hour and 40 minute making-of extra on the Blu-ray worth checking out. It is totally clip-free! Nothing irks me more than an extra packed with clips from a movie I just watched. Again, the music they use is great, too.I feel bad for all the 1-star reviewers with no joy in their lives. This is an excellent modern-day exploitation picture (well, minus the nudity, but with an overabundance of cleavage and hot outfits).

The twist at the end with the quote from the art of war made me give this a thumbs up.

So, the T'n'A and blood'n'guts were not my main reasons for watching this. Shocking! In fact, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it until I saw that one of the most common 'negative' reviews was: "where's the nudity?!"I laughed so hard during this film, more than I have in a long time. It's so over the top, so much camp and cheese. Brilliantly stupid, with action and style a la Tarantino and Sin City. There is actually quite a bit to 'think about' with this movie, as long as you're not distracted by all the boobage. Maybe not deep philosophical thinking, but I had plenty to think about. ...And the boobage is totally [deliberately] distracting, I have to say. It's hilarious. In any other movie I would just be annoyed, probably even angry. In this, I laughed. It is so...gleefully excessive, and cheekily self-aware.If you're looking for a porn movie, go elsewhere. If you're looking for another Citizen Kane, keep looking. But If you just want to be entertained, give this a shot. Don't take it seriously.If you're offended by scantily-clad women...then why on Earth are you even reading the reviews - didn't you look at that cover??

If you get past the first 45 minutes, it becomes totally watchable. The movie was advertised as a Spoof of B-movies. Its more B-movie than spoof. I stopped watching the film about 45 minutes in but picked up again the following day.There are some good points. The fight scenes between the main characters are really well choregraphed. Someone definitely did their homework. The dialogue too between the main trio of characters gets much better towards the end of the movie and has some really funny points. The ending isnt bad either, sort of a Usual Suspects thing.The unrated version I watched could easily have been "R" almost "PG" if not for some of the violence. All in all at least a 3 star , maybe 3 1/2

This is hands down one of my favorite movies. This is a low budget B-movie, but its not just your average every day low budget B-movie. It was all done intentionally.Going into any film of this nature, you expect very little. That is a huge part of what makes this little gem work so well. You expect nothing, but in the end, this movie actually pays off! Of course the T and A is great and plentiful (and this is coming from a gay guy lol) but these bad ass chicks kick major ass and the actors portray their characters perfectly. The story is surprisingly well thought out and there are some GREAT cameos as well!With the exception of ONE person, everyone I have shown this movie to has loved it. Its a fun, entertaining ride from beginning to end. The only complaint Ive heard was that the timeline is a little hard to follow at times, but by the end of the movie, it makes sense and again, it was all intentional.So, to sum things up...Would I recommend this move? Absolutely! I always recommend it to all of my friends.Is this movie for everyone? Absolutely not. You will either love it or hate it.I love it, and I appreciate every silly, exciting, adrenaline pumping, blood soaked minute of it.Cant wait to be bitch slapped again in the sequel.WHERE IS THE SEQUEL?!?!?! Filmmakers, make - this - happen!!

Un tres bon film, sans prétention, et qui "fait le job" avec décontraction. Délibérément too much (trop de sang, trop de silicone, trop de poses iconiques) mais n'est-ce pas ce que l'on attend?

Deutlich spürt man, daß hier zwei junggebliebene TV-Produzenten ihren Traum vom selbstbestimmten Kinofilm verwirklicht haben. Klar ist es ein postpubertäres Gemätzel, ohne den Anspruch, den Film neu zu erfinden. Aber Tarrentino-Fans, Russ-Meyer-Kenner und Leute, die selber Filme machen, werden definitiv ihren Spaß haben. Hab den Film schon mit einer Frau zusammen gesehen und dachte eigentlich, daß sie ihn scheiße finden würde. Aber auch sie fand ihn gut, obwohl "Bitch Slap" wohl eher ein "Jungs-Film" ist. Auf jeden Fall meine Empfehlung, weil unterhaltsam und extrem kurzweilig.Nicht nur Camero (rechts auf dem Cover) wird Männer und Jungs faszinieren ;), auch die halbe Besetzung der alten Herkules- und Xena-Fernsehserien (bedingt durch die Historien der treibenden Filmemacher von "Bitch Slap") stehen hier in einem ganz neuen Licht vor der Linse und bringen dich einfach zum schreien! Super lustig.Apropos selber Filmemacher: digitale Explosionen aus der Artbeat-Bibliotek könnten wohl kaum übertriebener oft eingespielt werden als es hier gemacht wurde. Aber irgendwie stylish... Kritiker werden sagen: "Sin City für arme"... Dank solcher Effekte wird der Film "Bitch Slap" halt zum echten B-Movie. I LIKE IT!
