- Synopsis:
Lace (Robbie Lee), the leader of inner city girl gang The Dagger Debs, meets her match when new girl Maggie (Joanne Nail) moves into the neighbourhood. Mistrust and conflict turn to friendship as the girls end up in Juvenile Detention together at the mercy of abusive guards. Meanwhile, The Dagger Debs' male counterparts The Silver Daggers have to contend with the arrival of a new gang, led by the villainous Crabs (Chase Newhart). But when the girls get back on the streets, a planned retaliation strike in tandem with The Silver Daggers backfires and puts Lace in hospital. Maggie assumes control, teaming up with Muff (Marlene Clark) and her gang of African-American militants from across town to declare all out war. But there's a traitor in their midst... - Actors:

Everybody’s Gotta be in a Gang - Switchblade Sisters review by SY
This film may not have the finest acting or the most logical story but there’s never a dull moment. Fun and serious at the same time. It feels a bit like the love child of Grease 1978 and Warriors 1979 (even though it preceded both of them and is far grittier). A great film!
