The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
Director: Stephan Elliott
Writer: Stephan Elliott
Stars: Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp
Summary: Invited to perform at a casino in remote Alice Springs, Australia, drag queens Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Felicia (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) hit the road in a broken-down lavender bus named Priscilla in this campy comedy classic. Along the way, the friends change into their most outrageous costumes and lip-synch disco tunes — including plenty of ABBA — for the outback’s befuddled locals.
This is a classic gay movie. This should be in your DVD/Blu-Ray collection or I’m taking away your gay card. As for what I actually think about this movie? It’s alright. It’s not as clever witted as To Wong Foo, but it does have Hugo Weaving in a dress and crazy drag performances. Honestly, these guys do not look very good in a dress. That was another thing To Wong Foo did better. In end though, it’s still well acted and the characters are enjoyable.
