Tura Satana&Her Astro-Zombies

Astro-Zombies is an unwatchable film. Often despised by those of us you enjoy psychotronically bad movies.

Tura Satana : Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Her single great performance left me a Tura Satana fan for life.

From the New York Times obituary:

Her breakthrough role came in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, a Meyer exploitation film that, in stark opposition to the director’s later works, featured no nudity. In that film, Ms. Satana played Varla, the leader of a gang of go-go dancers who kidnap a couple, murder the boyfriend and force the girlfriend to follow them on further lawless adventures.

Ms. Satana’s portrayal of Varla as a brazenly violent but unapologetically feminine woman who frequently upbraids the men who dare to ogle her — when a gas-station attendant tells her he believes in “seeing America first,” Varla replies, “You won’t find it down there, Columbus!” — earned her a cult following that endured long after the drive-in era. …

Tura Satan’s Face

As with any Russ Meyer star most attention is directed to breasts. Tura Satana had an amazing face, which this haircut highlights.

Tura Satana Reading

Tura Satana as an evil mastermind in Astro-Zombies (aka Space Vampires aka Space Zombies). This is probably her second best movie. But it is just plain awful. A must for any fan of psychotronic films. Wendell Corey and John Carradine also appeared in the movie.

Tura Satana as the violent and amoral Varla beating up a man in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

I would’ve prefered an ending where evil – Varla – triumphed.
