Prepare to get slapped.
“Bitch Slap” is a post-modern, thinking man’s throwback to the “B” Movie / Exploitation films of the 1950′s – 70′s as well as a loving, sly parody of the same. Inspired by the likes of “Dragstrip Girl”; “Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill”; “Kung Fu Nun” and the pantheon of Blaxploitation films, “Bitch Slap” will mix girls, guns, outrageous action and jaw-dropping visuals with a message… don’t be naughty!
At its core, “Bitch Slap” follows three bad girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer and a corporate powerbroker) as they arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort and steal $200 Million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance and they are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected… themselves. It’s the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize the whole she-bang was a set-up and one of them may not even be human…
