Can We Talk About the Trailer for Bitch Slap?

Yes, that's a real movie, though much in the way that Velveeta is "real" cheese. And there is truly no more appropriate comparison. I think this deserves our attention:
Wuuuuuuuuuuut? This is the description from the film's official website:
BITCH SLAP is a post-modern, thinking man’s throwback to the “B” Movie/Exploitation films of the 1950’s – 70’s as well as a loving, sly parody of the same. Inspired by the likes of Dragstrip Girl;, Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill; Kung Fu Nun and the pantheon of Blaxploitation films, BITCH SLAP will mix girls, guns, outrageous action and jaw-dropping visuals with a message… don’t be naughty!
Okay, I'm following, I'm following, aaaaaaand they lost me at "jaw-dropping visuals!" I've seen better CGI on the SciFi SaeFae SyFy channel. Unless they just mean the boobs. Actually, yeah, they probably mean the boobs. But there is so much more to this movie, guys:
What also makes BITCH SLAP different is a complicated “B” story device that runs throughout the film to illuminate character, backstory and relationship histories not previously revealed. Like the film Memento, these scene flashbacks take place in reverse, so by the end of the film, you have a wholly different take on who these women are and why they are behaving so badly. Bet you never saw THAT in Jailbait Babysitter!
That is true. I have never, ever seen that in Jailbait Babysitter. These guys have my number. Also, do my ears deceive me or was that a literary allusion right at the end there? I think it was:

Like you would know from real cheese, you "American cheese"-loving goof.
Where's my gouda?
I stand by my love of ALL cheeses, thank you very much.
The key thing you're missing about this movie is that it's actually reuniting a lot of the cast and prod staff from the Xena/Hercules shows of the '90s. So at the very least it should be damn entertaining.
