Switchblade Sisters is a 1975 American exploitation action film detailing the lives of high school-aged female gang members.

Subsequently, Dagger Deb leader Lace decides she likes Maggie and entrusts her with running errands while she serves a brief sentence in juvenile hall.

The effort proves disastrous when Crabs's men show up armed with rifles, kill Dominic, and brutally assault Lace, causing her to miscarry.

Maggie fatally stabs Lace in the throat, prompting a police strike force that had been surrounding the building to storm in and arrest everyone.

The blood-soaked Maggie becomes hysterical as she and the rest of the gang are loaded into the back of a police van, screaming threats that the Jezebels will one day return.

Jack Hill allegedly interviewed real-life female gang members before filming Switchblade Sisters in order to give small details an air of authenticity.

[4] Hill stated that Switchblade Sisters was broadly influenced by William Shakespeare's Othello, and both he and Tarantino liken Patch to Iago in the commentary for the film.

Ebert said seeing the film 20 years later was a "shock" because it revealed how much more talented young low budget filmmakers were in the '90s than they had been in the past, declaring Switchblade Sisters to be "amateur night".
