New ‘Bitch Slap’ Trailer and Release Info
by Marc Patterson
Once in a while we like to dip our sticks into a little seedy exploitation around these parts. And hey, there’s no shame in that. So long as it involves guns, loads of T&A and comes fully armed with an “R” rating it’s more than likely good enough for us. Bitch Slap is one of those films that automatically gets our brutal stamp of approval. We’ve been following the progress of the film for some time. Back in January we had a couple of trailers for you and then a bit later we let you all on to a cool photo shoot Maxim UK did with these luscious ladies. Well ladies and gents, the wait is almost over. On January 8th Bitch Slap will finally find its way into theaters nationwide, albeit a limited release. So when we say “nationwide” don’t confuse that with a true wide release. We’re talking possibly only NYC and LA, but could involve more. We’ll certainly let you know as more details are revealed. So let’s get to the goodies… Apple Trailers posted yet another new trailer today and we have that beauty for you right here (below) in HD. You can of course pop into Apple to get a large eye popping version (which we recommend you do).
Synopsis: 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…
What also makes BITCH SLAP different is a complicated “B” story device that runs throughout the film to illuminate character, backstory and relationship histories not previously revealed. Like the film Memento, these scene flashbacks take place in reverse, so by the end of the film, you have a wholly different take on who these women are and why they are behaving so badly. Bet you never saw THAT in Jailbait Babysitter!
