- QuizQuentin Tarantino, a longtime fan of Jack Hill's work, bought the rights to the film and re-released it in 1996 through his film company Rolling Thunder Pictures. He held a huge premiere and a celebration at a theater in Los Angeles which the film's original cast attended. Co-star Marlene Clark remembered the event in an interview many years later and laughed about it. "My commercial agency called me and said "We have an invitation to a screening of SWITCHBLADE SISTERS!" Clark laughed. "[Rolling Thunder] actually sent a car to bring me to the screening! All the way over I thought, "This is a flashback. I'm having a breakdown." Nope! I got to the theater, and it was for real! All the other women from the movie were there, and there was a nice little party afterwards at a place called the Red Room. It was amazing."
- BlooperLace cuts off the necktie that the man in the elevator is wearing, leaving about six inches of it behind. However, when he later identifies the gang members to the police his necktie is much longer.

Recensione in evidenza
Predating the cycle of gang movies by a few years, "The Jezebels" (a.k.a. "Switchblade Sisters") by exploitation icon Jack Hill really is a whole lot of fun. It's colourful entertainment that actually manages to be campy and serious in equal doses. And it does come complete with a feminist statement.
Robbie Lee is Lace, the leader of a girl gang dubbed The Dagger Debs, who are affiliated with a male gang known as the Silver Daggers. She's sweet on Dominic (Asher Brauner), their leader. Laces' world starts falling apart when Maggie (Joanne Nail), a loner, attracts the attention of the gangs (especially Dominic) and rises within the ranks - and gains influence - a little too quickly. Amid the personal problems of the main characters, they must go to war with a gang that masquerades as community activists.
Considering the fact that some of these actresses don't really convince at all as tough gals (especially Lee), and are clearly too old for their roles, they really are a whole lot of fun. Monica Gayle delivers a standout performance as Patch, a gang member who comes to distrust and despise Maggie. A rich assortment of familiar actors in the supporting roles include Marlene Clark as black revolutionary Muff, Don Stark as Hook, Bill Adler as Fingers, Kate Murtagh as butch lesbian prison guard Mom Smackley, and Bob Minor as police officer Parker. Nail definitely looks very hot in various sexy outfits. Co-star Kitty Bruce, who plays the put-upon Donut, is the daughter of Lenny Bruce.
The movie contains some absolute gems of dialogue thanks to screenwriter F.X. Maier; the viewer will find them very quotable. Nails' speech to the cops right before the end credits is hilarious. There's sex and plenty of violence, and some eye catching costumes by Jodie Tillen. And you just know that this is going to a be a most enjoyable film because of the tune "Black Hearted Woman" that's belted out during the opening credits. Many fine scenes include the clichéd action in the penitentiary and the gunfights at the roller rink and in the streets.
Fans of this kind of thing would be well advised to seek it out. It really hits the spot in terms of all of its exploitative elements.
