Two gays, one transgender and one big bus called Priscilla: briefly; Anthony "Tick" Belrose/Mitzi Del Bra [Hugo Weaving:] this person is a drag queen, the is putting some shows together to perform at Lasseters Hotel Casino, so he called upon these two individuals: Bernadette Bassenger/other name [Terence Stamp:] this person is a transgender individual, that is the more down to earth individual that is also a drag queen and finally we have Adam Whitely/Felicia Jollygoodfellow [Guy Pearce:] this person is the comedian out of a trio or/and likes to wind up Bassenger and is also a drag queen; they get all aboard Priscilla I am sure nothing goes wrong on their journey.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 104 minutes film is good; but for some occasions this project goes through a loll; I mean it does pick up its feet again; if just a little bit patchy.

Art; broadly speaking; as it relates to the costume designs, choreography and etc are all of the very high quality indeed; the costumes/wardrobe are excellent and detailed with likewise in these performance pieces are excellently detailed and good fun

Comedy and action; Whitely/Felicia Jollygoodfellow as I have already referenced is the immature one of trio so as you can imagine on a journey he is the one that may or may not bring up a few topics of an immature nature, [on a quick side note: watch out for the ping-pong balls, trust me you won't be able to miss this sequence of events, but I digress;] and if I was him I wouldn't use Bassenger other name as this person doesn't like it, so as Whitely/Jollygoodfellow will discover the price for using it is to get beaten up.

Character developments and performances; all the character developments are excellent I hasten to add a caveat of: I am aware I am dealing with a sensitive topic so obviously I don't mean the characters that are uncivil. But for everyone us they are who they are and they accept others; but then again when you have Weaving, Stamp, Pearce and Bill Hunter as Robert "Bob" Spart: in a nutshell; he is someone our Queens pick up when Priscilla breaks down and eventually he becomes their mechanic for the rest of the journey. But when you have this foursome making these characters/roles their very own; it makes filmmaking very easy like walking in the park: but throughout minus what I had previously referenced there is faultless chemistry through this cast.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it is most definitely one of those films they need to see once in a lifetime and the only reason I took a little bit of oils for the pacing, there is also one ending credit scene right at the end of this film. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; 11 Winners that include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1995 Oscar Best Costume Design Lizzy Gardiner Tim Chappel and BAFTA Awards 1995 BAFTA Film Award Best Costume Design Lizzy Gardiner Tim Chappel and Best Make Up/Hair Cassie Hanlon Angela Conte Strykermeyer. 19 Nominees which include but not limited to continuing from the same award ceremony/event Best Actor Terence Stamp, Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music Guy Gross, Best Cinematography Brian J.
