Kill!.The biggest tragedy of Turas career one which Russ Meyer himself acknowledged was that he and Tura didnt continue to make films together. Kill!..And on that subject 1965s Faster Pussycat is easily the greatest cult film ever made and the competition is not even close. Kill!.The image of Tura Satana has there ever been a name like that? dressed in black leaning against her car in the high Mojave desert has become one of those iconic images that end up on the dorm room walls of young guys in college and increasingly young girls as well.
