Underworld double-crosses and cat-masked chaos in the seedy world of women's wrestling.
THE BLONDE PICK-UP
The Strange Love Life Of A Wrestling Gal
Scalli is a gangster who manages women wrestlers as a front for his bookmaking, drug, and prostitution rackets. He trusts the wrong people and ends up trying to run away from both the police and mysterious mob boss Mr. Big, to whom he owes $35,000.
Wrestling, rackets, and racehorses—this is one gym you don't join for the cardio.
This is where psychotronic pulp meets the wrestling mat—cat masks, double-crosses, and a suitcase full of money, all wrangled by a gangster who’s in way over his head. The Blonde Pick-Up delivers a parade of leg scissors, marked cards, and buxom chaos that only a 1950s B movie could muster.

Why Cult
A sleazy crime boss uses a troupe of female wrestlers as a cover for his drug and gambling operations, putting the action in and out of the ring.
Masked wrestlers, implied nudity, and plenty of vintage sexploitation flair keep this psychotronic curio bouncing with energy.
Marked cards, extortion schemes, and a looming mob boss make for a parade of classic B-movie betrayals.
With its earnest delivery and wild plot, this cult film delivers unintentional laughs alongside its crime drama.
