We’ll be partnering with the Hiway’s Cult Cinema Club to present our pristine 35mm print of Jack Hill’s Drive-In classic SWITCHBLADE SISTERS (1975) on the big indoor screen, with vintage Drive-In ads and trailers, and a mid-film intermission break!
Join us for a special screening of this ‘70s girl gang hit – SWITCHBLADE SISTERS on 35mm. Hosted by members of the Mahoning Drive-In crew, THE MAHONING ROADSHOW brings memories of warm summer nights to cold winter months, with live introductions, Q&A’s, and more fun, recreating a night at the drive-in for indoor audiences.
Don’t miss this rare chance to see this gritty grindhouse girl gang punch packer on the hallowed Hiway screen!
Only Road Show screening of this title in 2026!
Following the cult success of Foxy Brown and Coffy, director Jack Hill filmed this racy, action-packed tale of The Dagger Debs; a fictional girl-gang loosely based on Shakespeare’s Othello. When Maggie rolls into town, Lace, the leader of the Dagger Debs, feels threatened. But their rivalry soon blossoms into friendship and they eventually team together to take down The Crabs, a new all-male gang of teenaged degenerates. This raunchy sexploitation flick was a drive-in phenomenon in the ‘70s, helping it earn its place as one of the most infamous films of the genre.
Presented on a rare 35mm print courtesy of the Mahoning Drive-In Archive.
**Because we are operating with a single projector, this special 35mm screening will be presented with a short intermission of vintage drive-in intermission snipes to accommodate a reel change! **
