I've mentioned my love of this kind of movie before, but I really love ultra-violent exploitation movies from the 60s and 70s. I have a special love for bombastically violent B-movies with female leads. Anyway here are some of my favorites exploitation heroines.
Meiko Kaji, seen here as the titular Lady Snowblood (1973). She was an icon of cold blooded violence, and a huge (though often unknown) influence on the future of action, horror, and drama cinema both in Japan and abroad.
Tura Satana, Barbarella "Haji" Catton, and Lori Williams, seen here on the set of "Faster Pussycat! Kill, kill!" (1965). I've talked about this movie before, I love it. The absolutely shameless exploitation of attention-grabbing violence and sex appeal in this movie are unmatched.
Pam Grier as Foxy Brown (1974). I love her work in pulpy action cinema, the use of violence as a part of a motif that feels fun, stylish, and gritty at the same time in that era was unique and just can't be replicated.
Barbara Hershey as the titular Boxcar Bertha (1972). She's iconic as a grimy gangster in rural 1930s America. This movie has so much unqiue flavor and I love Barbera Hershey's performance as a dainty innocent girl on the outside hiding her true nature as a violent gangster.
Anyway I love grimy ass B movies from the 1960s/70s. The unapologetic subversiveness of their creators always fascinated me as much as the content itself. They are hugely influential on me.

'Elvis Presley Graceland' for The Commercial-Appeal Mid-South Magazine 1965
"When I complete a movie or a record session, I head for Graceland as fast as I can. I withdraw not from my fans, but from myself. After work, I just give out. I like to come back here to think and relax. I guess in that respect I have withdrawn, but here it’s quiet and I can reevaluate myself and see where I’m going."
-Elvis March 7, 1965
