IMDb profile

Blood Orgy of the Leather Girls (1988) is, as its title implies, a gory B-movie made in the classic "sexploitation" style. However, despite its campy title it looks at some important gender and social issues. The movie focuses on the efforts of four very different women looking for revenge on men who have mistreated them.

The cast includes Robin Gingold, Jo Ann Wyman, Dale Soules, Melissa Lawrence and David Nudleman and there is an appearance by the band The Wild Breed. The film was written and directed by Meredith Lucas (Lucas committed suicide when she was unable to find a distributor for the film) and produced by Henry S. Rosenthal and Jon Jost.

One review calls it "relentlessly sardonic" [1] while another rates it as "more serious than its mock title implies." [2] The University at Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo) includes the film in the movie listing section of its "Women and Society" internet project.[3]

The soundtrack is available on Planet Pimp Records and features the Wild Breed, The Phantom Surfers, the Mummies, the Troglodykes, Slug Dick Nick, Three Stoned Men, and other garage/hardcore punk bands.

[edit] Quotes

"I hate life. I hate school. I hate my parents. Most of all I hate every day that passes, every day the same as the one before it, the one following it. Nothing to distinguish one day from the other. You gotta do something, man, anything, to make one day different. So I did, and I'd do it again, anytime. Hate is the only emotion I have ever felt."
