The film has also been influential on other filmmakers. Writer-director John Waters stated in his book "Shock Value" that ""Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" is, beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made. It is possibly better than any film that will be made in the future." He later said on its re-release that "it ages like fine wine." Music video director Keir McFarlane acknowledged that a scene in the video for the Janet Jackson song "You Want This" was a direct homage to "Faster, Pussycat!", showing the Porsche-driving singer and her female companions driving circles around two men in the desert. Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino referenced the movie and thanked Meyer in the credits of his film "Death Proof", and it was reported in "Variety" in 2008 that Tarantino was interested in remaking "Faster, Pussycat!"
