Lost Highway was helping field some questions at this past weekends live DVD release uStream party for the cast and crew of “Bitch Slap.” In case you missed it, Erin confessed her love for Lost Highway, a mime juggled chainsaws, and then America and Julia got into a vicious cat fight over a gin and tonic. Ok well maybe that’s a bit exaggerated but the cast and crew answered some great questions posed by Q&A master Maria through the Twittersphere and I think everyone had a great time being a part of it. You can see some photos from the event here.

Their fame is now your gain as Lost Highway got the just released uncut DVD and an autographed poster from the starlets to give away to a lucky reader. Simply follow us on twitter and send us your best b-movie survival tip @losthighway and you’re automatically in the running! A twitter user with the best original b-movie tip will be chosen on Saturday March 5th and be sure to check out our list of b-movie survival tips so you can come up with something new. Yeah it’s a challenge I know.

So after reading our review below, go pick yourself up a copy of “Bitch Slap” at your local store today (ask for it by name and see the interesting looks you get.) Oh and be sure to check out the exclusive promo for “Behind Bitch Slap: Buidling a Better B-movie” at the bottom of this review. Thanks to the cast/crew and a big thank you to Kristal Bailey for Letting Lost Highway get Bitch Slapped. It’s still stings but we liked it that way.

Ah the bachelor party. That rite of passage for every man who is about to enter the holy bonds and shackles of matrimony. Sure there’s always the next day stories of  couches being set on fire, waking up with a goat drinking beer out of the toilet and of course more strippers that a convention of paint removers. But unless there was some photographic evidence these guys probably didn’t even remember the night before so they most likely were that… just that stories. After all what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…well maybe except for the syphilis. But with every bachelor party you’re gonna need the perfect bachelor movie. A testerone fueled politically incorrect scantly clad women filled movie of cool. Something that if you wife caught you watching she wouldn’t stop slapping you.

So move over “Roadhouse” “Bitch Slap” is the new perfect bachelor night tradition and all without waking up with a hangover or your wallet stolen. What would be considered a loving throwback to the yesterday of exploitation and grindhouse, this modern day film knows how to play it up campy-style with a sort of wink and nod to it’s audience. When it comes to the 3B’s of B-movieness, “Bitch Slap” pulls out all the punches with a lot of emphasis on the big “B” of Breasts. Wether they’re in slow motion, zoomed in, bloody, cover in dirt, hosed down it’s a definite boobcam of babeliciousness. Throw in some explosions, big guns, and samurai swords and you got yourself a guys perfect wishlist of b-movie gold.

The story revolves around 3 gorgeous girl out cruisin’ in the desert who look as though they’ve just escaped from a Victoria Secrets photo shoot. They’re on a quest to dig up a loot full of diamonds from a has been gangster whom they’ve stuffed in the trunk. Hel (Erin Cummings) is the cool as ice red headed undercover agent who seems to be the lady in charge. Trixie (Julia Voth) is a “angelic” stripper whose crotch glows like a disco ball when she’s doing the nightly grind and Camero (America Olivio) is your resident psycho- pill poppin’ criminal who at any moment might stab you with a rusty screw driver for looking at her cock eyed. Sorta like my ex-girlfriend only a bit more reserved.

Through a series of flashbacks the true identities of the girls and their intentions are revealed just as punk rockers with turrets, and naughty japanese school girls with bladed yo-yos show up for the trailer park party. A lot of time is spent digging and there’s slow mo’ glamour shooting while 3 girls gyrate and shimmy for the camera. My only response to that can be…. “Hell yeah!” and “more please!” Things are not all fun though as a growing mistrust over a secret love triangle is revealed… but hey that’s nothing that another slow mo water fight or trailer romp won’t smooth over. There’s also some plot points involving ancient demon samauri swords, killer viruses stored in lunchboxes and didn’t I see Kevin Sorbo with a bazooka? But hey you gotta rest your eyes sometime from all that cleavage fatigue.

Also keep an eye out for one of the best girl drag down brawls ever to be filmed with Zoe Belle masterly handling choreography of sweet punches, groin kicks, and hair pulling. Girls get kicked, punched, bitten, dragged and body slammed more times than a TV wrestling match so let the feminists flame mail commence.

I think all this film needs is a guest cameo of Xena the warrior princess as a nun…oh wait it’s got that too.

Sure “Bitch Slap” may play a bit like a dear Penthouse letter written by Russ Meyers and mixed in a blender with some Will E. Cyote cartoons but that’s just the perfect recipe for mindless b-movie fun. Rick Jacobson, the director never tries to pretend to make anything different and for that you’ve got to admire the guy.

Retroman Steve says check it out, and be sure to bring some extra dollar bills. There’s no cover charge but it’s got a 2 drink minimum.

“It’s kooterlicious”

Check out this Lost Highway exclusive for “Behind Bitch Slap: Building a Better B-movie”

Enter to win the official Lost Highway t-shirt and have your own b-movie survival tip on the back!

Do you remember where you were when man landed on the moon? When they brought down the Berlin Wall?  When MTV used to play actual music? Really…eesh how old are you anyways? Luckily now you can now be a part of history having your own twisted thoughts adorned on the official Lost Highway B-movie Survival t-shirt. A high quality Glidan shirt that’s soft and comfy and won’t easily fade like your memory is. Buy your piece of history here.

To kick-off the lineup of new T-shirts, Ben, owner of Fright Rags, and Lost Highway have joined forces in order to give three of our loyal supporters each an opportunity to win a free t-shirt of their choice, except the Vintage style shirts. To enter, all you have to do is come up with the best solution to a hypothetical scenario that Ben is faced with late one night.

Scenario:

After a hard day’s work at Fright Rags, Ben has just drifted off into a very sound REM sleep when all of a sudden he’s jolted awake by loud noises that sound like they’re coming from the storage area where the all the printed shirts are stored. Ben immediately springs out of bed, grabs a baseball bat, and cautiously goes to investigate the disturbance. As he makes his way toward the room, the strange sounds are getting even louder. When he reaches the storage area, an eerie blue light can be seen from underneath the door. Those unrecognizable noises now appear to be a series of growls and tortured groans, like something from a horror movie. Ben’s heart is really pounding now. He pauses for a few seconds to collect himself and then, after gathering up enough courage, he begins to slowly turn the door knob. Upon opening the door, Ben sees a truly shocking sight: all the characters from his printed T-shirts have somehow come to life. So, what do you think Ben should do?

Contest Rules and Information:

The best three entries will each receive a free T-Shirt of their choice, except the Vintage style shirts, courtesy of Fright Rags. Entries must be a minimum of 10 words, with a maximum of 250 words. The contest starts May 13, 2009 and ends at midnight on May 27, 2009. Selected winners will be contacted by e-mail on Monday, June 1. All entries must be comprehensible (understandable) and written in English. Please submit entries to this address: losthighwayinfo@yahoo.com with “Contest” in the subject line. Be sure to include your name, e-mail address, and mailing address with your submission, to ensure that if your entry is selected, we will be able to contact you. If you don’t include this information, then your submission will immediately be disqualified. One entry per person. U.S. residents only. Thanks for entering the contest and good luck!

At a time when a lot of specialty T-shirt companies are cutting corners and charging you more money for an inferior product, you, as both a fan and consumer, can have total confidence in knowing that Fright Rags doesn’t do business that way. Ben has set the standard for quality and customer service regarding his products. He is always striving to push the envelope creatively with his designs and is actively seeking out new processes that will increase the quality of his horror apparel, which in the end benefits you, the fan. Fright Rags has created a much deserved reputation for giving fans what they want and have come to expect, and this time is no different. The latest line of shirts are his most technically impressive and ambitious so far. Previous designs were already very detailed and well crafted, but these new designs contain even more detailing, and the artwork is even larger this time around, which means you get to enjoy more of your favorite movie(s). Also, each shirt is still printed on Anvil 100% cotton shirts or Gildan Ultra Cotton T-Shirts. So, not only are you getting great looking piece of wearable art, but a high quality shirt made from the best materials that you’ll be able to enjoy for a very, very, long time. As a fan I’m really excited about this new series, which has
awesome designs from so many cool movies. Now, lets get to the new designs!

Please click on the shirt’s title to see the actual artwork.

PHENOMENA

As soon as I saw this design, I started to hear the movie’s main theme by Goblin playing in my head. All of the characters are nicely rendered and the color choices are just beautiful–truly a work of art. Jennifer is shown communicating telepathically with a group of insects, while Inga the chimpanzee is holding a scalpel, and waiting to attack the evil Fran Brückner. This design does a great job at incorporating many elements from the movie without being too busy. And like the Dario Argento film, this shirt is destined to become an instant classic among fans.

NEAR DARK

Now here is a shirt that fans of the 1987 movie can really bite into. It features evil vampire Severen sporting a very nasty sunburn, along with blood-sucking newbie, Caleb, who can be seen in the background staying out of the harmful sunlight. A simple, yet effective composition, along with crisp graphics and a bold blood red color bring these undead characters to life.

THE RAFT

If you’re still upset over the disappointing and absolutely horrible “Creepshow 3″, you’re not alone. But hopefully “The Raft”, an awesome new “Creepshow 2″ design, will help ease your pain. This shirt features eye-catching art done in a great comic book style and has vintage blue and yellow colors. An added bonus for fans is that the shirt has cool quotes from the movie.

ERASERHEAD

This shirt is proof that you don’t always need vivid colors in order to create a design with visual impact. The monochromatic color scheme immediately makes me think of the black and white style of David Lynch’s film. Fans will surely recognize the character on the shirt as being Henry, and Mary X’s creepy mutant reptilian baby from the movie. The fluid line work and cool looking ink wash effect really give this shirt its unique personality. After seeing this surreal image you’ll be wondering whether it’s all a dream, or twisted reality.

EVIL DEAD

Well, we probably won’t be seeing another Evil Dead sequel, but fans still have cause to celebrate because Ash is back this time as a T-shirt, fighting a tree gone
wild. And it won’t be long before he uses his trusty chainsaw to quickly turn this overgrown toothpick into pile of firewood. The artwork features contrasting
colors set against a dark background, along with an in-your-face text treatment that gives this shirt serious attitude. The expression on our unlikely hero’s face says it all: that he is ready to kick some more Deadite butt!

CANDYMAN

The urban legend with a meat hook for a hand and a belly full of bees has come to terrifying life once again in this visually stunning T-shirt. If the gritty textures and
strong colors haven’t already gotten your attention, then Candyman’s intense gaze will surely hook you. But whatever you do, don’t say his name
five times in front of a mirror while wearing this shirt, because you just might end up being his next victim.

A very big thank you goes out to Ben from Fright Rags, who generously provided the shirts for this contest! So make sure you stop by his site to see the new designs, as well as his selection of other truly awesome movie-themed shirts.
