"But there are flashes of brilliance, Harry McCoy's "Gas Huffin' Bad 
Gals!" pays

homage to the Russ Meyers sexploitation films of the 60's with 
technical virtuosity

and a light touch"

low content exploitation flick"

offers enough sleazy high-jinks and bad hairdos to satisfy any devotee 
of her oeuvre"
