Les Vampires is Paris' most infamous criminal gang - a gang led by a succession of Wile E. Coyotes who are forever concocting over-ingenious fails. As a result, it's a gang that seems to make no money, that just hangs out gangster partying. Therefore, it's up to de facto leader Irma Vep to get the job done right - which earns her the title of one of Cinema's Most Badass.

: action; automobile; backstage; beheading; chase; comedy; comic sidekick; crime; criminal mastermind; cross-dressing; dance; dance-Apache; death scene; detective; femme fatale; gangs; gender-bender; heist; kiddie act; manipulator; metatheatre; mind control; newsroom; servitude; sidekick; train; windbag assassin
