The Bad Luck Betties

When four aspiring starlets find themselves in the seedy underbelly of show business, their dreams of stardom turn into a living hell. Once deemed "damaged goods", they end up fending for themselves in the margins of society. Now hardened, restless and with an insatiable appetite for revenge and ultra violence, they take control of "Transaction Junction", the main intersection used by the purveyors of vice to supply Hollywood's demand for contraband. Their lucrative racket is at risk when the completion of the freeway bypass threatens to take away their control of their "Hollywood connection". No one gets in or out without paying their dues!! These vixens had nothing to loose and everything to gain!!

Directed by Octavio Arizala, The Bad Luck Betties leans on a strong ensemble — Smoking Mary Jane, Mika Tan, Pinky Lee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2008.
