Huge Russ Meyer Fan (and that is the appropriate description for all things Russ Meyer).
Seriously though Tura Satana through the vehicle of Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! was the beginning of the action babe archetype as we know it today.  You can't look at film history without seeing the influence of Meye and Satana; - and if you haven't seen a Russ Meyer flick, check a couple out.  One of the reasons Meyer is remembered today (One as opposed to the many pneumatic paired other reasons) when the sleaze merchants of the era were forgotten was just how good he was as a filmmaker.  He cut his teeth doing film work in the army and learned to shoot it clean, shoot it well and edit it with precision and care.  A professional.
