Movie Info

A sex-bomb, a psycho-slut, and a stripper find their attempt to extort a powerful underworld kingpin spiraling out of control in this outrageous homage to the exploitation films of yesteryear. They thought it was a foolproof plan, but these three bad girls are about to see just how bad things can get when the truth comes out, allegiances start to shift, and other desperate criminals attempt to muscle in on the take. Later, the stakes are raised when it's revealed that the entire plan was a

The latest proof that calculated camp in the form of homage is nearly impossible to pull off.

The target audience must be that awfully precise niche that never tires of women punching each other.

Over-the-top -- and ultimately tiresome -- female mud-wrestling, kick-boxing and cat fights in a parody of old exploitation movies.

Overblown and underwhelming.

By far the best elements are the regular flashbacks, which showcase the crazy comic book vibe at its best and have some truly spectacular Charlie's Angels-style moments.

More suitable for background noise on a late night than an actual big event you can gather with your friends to watch...

If the film's half-baked salaciousness feels merely risible, its slapdash screenplay and cheapo look make it something that its generic forbearers rarely were: boring.

Like an issue of Maxim that flips its own pages, but keeps stopping to read the articles.

It twists and twists and twists past the point of reason and logic. Best of all, it doesn't care. It just keeps going.

Overstays its welcome, but offers some broad fun and some fun broads.

All the revealing costumes, Penthouse Letter structure, and girl nation rumbling can't cover the fact that Bitch Slap is an awesome idea handed the least effective execution possible.

In any other world, this would be getting a DVD or Syfy-only release, and Jacobson's talents would be better utilized directing Playboy Channel interstitials.

Audience Reviews for Bitch Slap

This was suppose to be a B movie but i think they took themselves too serious. Its a throwback exploitation film but it fails to live up to what those were or do anything really different. It shot in a highly stylized format though which does give it a very interesting visual appeal. But it really is bad :)

Bitch Slap is one of the worst films that I've seen in the last few years. The film tries to be like other comic book style films such as Sin City, but it fails. Bitch Slap is a boring, uninteresting film with poor acting, poor plot and directing. However the film does look cool, unfortunately that's not even enough to
