Directed by Allan Moyle • 1980 • United States
Starring Tim Curry, Trini Alvarado, Robin Johnson

Problem teens Pamela (Trini Alvarado) and Nicky (Robin Johnson) bust out of a mental institution and go straight through the looking glass into Koch-era New York City, a grimy wonderland wherein they hurl TV sets from windows, hijack a radio station, and achieve underground-hero status as the garbage-bag-clad, bandit-masked punk rock duo the Sleez Sisters. This cult/queer/riot grrrl classic (a favorite of Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna) is a defiantly anarchic ode to female rebellion with attitude to burn.
