Reception
B movie expert Joe Bob Briggs has described Vice Girls as "the goofy story of three babe cops on the trail of a serial killer", where policewomen "pose as strippers, wearing a special black-leather bra with Nipple Lenses attached to a secret camera, as they smoke out the killer."[4] According to Phil Spector's biographer Mick Brown, Clarkson's performance in Vice Girls was one of several "schlock movies" that led to her becoming recognized as a B movie star "with a large and devoted fan base".[5]
