 Bob Slatzer---- " I never met a movie, I didn't direct." June 2, 2008
Oh Lord, where to start, with this epic?? Joel and the Bots, send this back to Hell, where it came!! This could have been used to show just how NOT to direct a film, without the always stimulating commentary. Slatzer the director, probably didn't know from day to day, whether the funding would run out, to finish this stinker. The acting was wonderfully inept, the sound poor, and the director could have been referred to, as " One-Shot Slatzer!!" All for the funnier, Folks.....All for the funnier!!!
Great show, good price April 12, 2007

Any review of Mystery Science Theater 3000 written by me is boilerplate. MST3K was one of the funniest and most intelligent TV series ever to inhabit the ether. I am proud to possess a copy of every episode (except the missing K0-K3 titles, and you Misties know of what I speak).
Sidehackers is Better August 19, 2006
Much like Sidehackers, this is a season 2 episode starring Ross Hagan in a biker movie. Only there are much more drugs in this one and - believe it or not - much less plot. Actually, it has less plot than darn near any movie I've ever seen. Less plot than Incredibly Strange Creatures even.
Hellcats really is one of the worst movies out there. Heck, it's even worse than Girl in Gold Boots.
I still consider it to be an episode worth owning, like all the other MST3K DVD releases (except The Atomic Brain). As the old saying goes, even a mediocre episode of MST3K is way better than the best episodes of other shows. If you're on a limited budget though, and can only choose Hellcats or Sidehackers, go with Sidehackers.
(On a side note, Ross Hagan's name in Sidehackers is Rommel, and I don't even know what his name is in this one. The movie never bothers to tell the audience I guess.)
 Disappointing for MST3K September 26, 2004
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am THE biggest MST3K fan in the world, but I found this particular episode to be a real disappointment. It has some laughs but not nearly so many as most MST3K's, and the sound quality of the actual film is really, really poor. It's very hard to hear what's going on. (Mike and the 'bots sound fine, but what they're riffing on is pretty incomprehensible.) Apparently this is the (only?) episode without the usual writing talents; once again, a disappointment. I'd recommend it mostly for those who already have every other MST3K available. There are lots of great episodes for sale--get those first!
At their best in season 2, Hellcats delivers non-stop laughs November 1, 2003

Until I discovered MST3K I'd never even seen a "B" movie "biker" picture, but the writers and cast of MST3K always seem to be at their best when making fun of these low-budget stories about sociopaths and societal drop-outs. I was overjoyed when I found out that Hellcats would be offered on DVD as this and the other season 2 gem, "Wild Rebels" are to me among the very best MST3K episodes ever. The stupidity of the characters and dialogue is funny all on its own, but the cast of MST3K raise the humor level many notches and never let up on the poor direction, acting or plot for a second. They even manage to make the music in this film fun and you'll be humming "the bike song" after the closing credits. One cinematic footnote regards a misidentification I believe of the film's director, Bob Slatzer, who is actually the stockier fellow of the two main "gangsters" and not the thinner one pointed out by Joel and the 'Bots during the picture. I discovered this when I saw Bob Slatzer interviewed in a documentary about Marilyn Monroe. But, this minor error does nothing to diminish the quality and quantity of the humor in this episode, which is so dense with jokes that you'll catch something new each time you watch it. Buy this now!
