Aw, hubby and I used to watch this together when my body was aching from arthritis. It was our feel good movie and he would hold me. He passed recently from covid effects. I'm so sad and miss him so much. He was an awesome man. 💔 love never dies.
So very sorry that you lost your husband under such tragic circumstances. I hope and pray warm and loving memories of you two watching this together brings you comfort and peace. God bless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss , wish you all the love the universe can give you and people around you, your love never dies because he’s been always with you , such a tragic situation with this Covid thing !! Sending you my prays ♥️
I love how the town protected them in the end! I'd do the same thing 🙂 Chi Chi, Vida and Noxxy weren't hurting anyone or anything. They were very sweet thoughtful people
I love to imagine the future strawberry festivals and one day it's huge and drag queens from all over the world congregate in this once tiny town to celebrate it.
That's a lovely idea. Why not take it a step further? This movie was released on September 8th, 1995. Maybe we should make that an International Strawberry Festival Day to honor the fabulous people in our lives.
It is amazing how Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze can act so perfectly as drag queens, when they played so many macho action movie characters. Very impressive.
What about John Leguizamo? He had roles as drug dealers in some of his movies. Swayze said that other A-lister actors wanted to be cast too. I think they wanted the challenge to be able to pull that stunt off. Being an action star is easy but acting like a drag queen and be believable as one is a whole another level of skills.
Look up the video, John Leguizamo went to the Saturday night drag show at Escuelita nightclub in NYC and got to know the drag circuit very well before filming started, those are his own words he wanted to do the part justice
They were the ORIGINAL drag queens. Love Ru Paul's Drag Race UK, Canada, USA and Australia. My favourite is UK as my country and love them all on the show. :) :) Waiting for next series, until then, watching Ru Paul's Drag Channels on Amazon Prime. Better than Nutflix,
Miss Clara and Noxema are the cutest relationship in the movie! I used to watch the mess out of this... there's so much heart, definitely a feel good cult classic!
@@henchmen999 what proud boys have been attacking drag queens? DeSantis is talking about drag Queens who are putting on sexual displays in front of kids. There are videos.
@@retroguy9494 also, what does me enjoying a movie have to do with how old either of us are? Lmfao... are you my dad? I mean, if so, you seriously owe me some money dude
@@Jaysin412 Well, since you asked the question, enjoying a movie has NOTHING to do with our ages. But it WAS you who started your comment with "I'm almost 40 and....." And no, I'm NOT your father. I was still a virgin when I graduated high school in 1983. As were like 70% of all high school graduates back in the day! The 94 has nothing to do with my age. I collect classic/antique luxury cars. I have a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, hence the '94. My SN USED to be retroguy76 after my 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special Brougham but TH-cam deleted it without explanation. Some tekkies I know told me is was most likely due to my conservative comments on political and news channels here.
@@retroguy9494 uhmmm. Good for you? You want a cookie? Nobody cares. Lol. I enjoyed the movie. I'm 40. So what? What's it matter to you? And why are yoy such a snide price? Sad you weren't born later? Sad you're missing out. Honestly, idgaf. Later homie. I'm done with you. Lmfao
I've never seen this movie, but I loved Patrick Swayze and Chris Penn. Two talented people who are no longer with us. This scene (that showed up on my feed) made me sad that they are no longer with us. I never saw the movie but I appreciated their talents. ♥♥♥
Sums it up, people fear what they can’t understand when in reality it has nothing to do with them in the first place. Mind your own damn business and let people be who they are. As long as they’re not physically hurting you or doing damage to your property, it doesn’t involve you at all. If we all just minded our own, it would be a great start.
She is still as gorgeous in this as she was in GREASE in 1978 17 years earlier, has'nt aged a bit. Love her role in GREASE as Rizzo. My favourite character in all the film.
I love this movie! I think this is the best role Patrick Swayze played💗 Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo were also great surprises....who would've ever thought about casting those 3 for this movie??
3:52 that moment of carol giving Virgil that look is just satisfying, because she didn’t had to tell him anything. Only with that look, you can tell that she was telling him “I am not scared of you anymore. I don’t need you, because I have people that truly care about me. So get out of my sight and don’t you ever come back, because even if you want me to forgive you, I will never go back to you. You don’t have control over me anymore.” 😄
Hello! You described said look perfectly. You are a very nice and empathetic person. ❤ A month ago, I saw my ex-boyfriend for the last time (we broke up 9 months ago, but we were schoolmates). He abused me psychologically. When we looked at each other for the last time, after his harassment and jealousy, I was finally able to see him from the front without lowering my head, with a feeling of having recovered my dignity. Those of us who have survived abuse of various kinds like Carol Ann know what it feels like. Greetings from Mexico City!
The look Carol Ann gives Virgil says it all, no words necessary. I've had the same experience and it hits me in the feels every time but there's also pride in learning to be strong and leave that situation behind.
Hands down top 5 of my faves! My son discovered drag QWEENS at a young age lol as I was watching and he was sneaking! He gave himself away when he asked me ‘mama are those men in dresses?’ You! We’re supposed to be asleep! He’s 41 now and we watch all the makeup shows an drag shows and he was impressed with Patrick Swaze coz I went to dance school at his moms studio which was literally couple blocks from my house! I walked to lessons lol. Yes, I saw him regularly and he wasn’t my cup of tea so he appreciated my genuine friendship coz I wasn’t wanting anything from him . If I’d ONLY known lmao but I’m attracted to brunettes and cracked him up when he asked me why I was different!!! 🙏🏻❤️
I love this movie and the ending because that’s all they want is acceptance. I went to comic con and seen the most beautiful Maleficent. Was a drag queen so I did the most logical thing , told the drag queen beautiful getup, and asked if I can take a picture.
It is one of a few great classics now. when it came out a rare find in movie land of movies. Todays generation have no idea how all today was made possible for them to live who they were born who they are. Keep Hope Alive.
Damn never seen this film but from the clips, it seemed way ahead of its time and really has a positive message. Really stands out given today's world. My god even the cop sounds like the right-wing nutties youve got trying to demonize folks of the lgbt nowadays.
When i first saw this movie i thought this people were crazy dressed as women. Now in adulthood i understand what life can do to people. The actors did great
Ohh God....I remember watch that movie in Puerto Rico when you can't even said loud the word Drakqueen....The 3 did amazing job.....Patrick....extraordinary 👏🏼
This is one of my fave movies wth one of my fave actors PS....I just moved to Florida from Pa. I'm still a bit homesick so it was nice to hear(which I forgot) that Vida is from Bala Cynwyd, Pa....which is only 15mins from where I originally lived.
infinitely grateful to the older kids at Pratt Pre-College Summer 2003 who insisted on playing this DVD in our common spaces regularly (and then lovingly allowed me to play my bootleg unrated Gia DVD from Chinatown and proceed to come out to all of them)
Hey now..."Do What You Wanna Do." Love this movie, the characters, this scene, and that song that I had the pleasure and joy to sing..wink wink. 😉 Such very good times. 🙇🏾♀️
Wesley and John took the job seriously and with fun. Patrick thought it was going to be all one big joke and then took it so seriously he was a drama queen. 😂 Wesley said he took inspiration from his auntie (i think) and Bette Midler (bc of her sashay walk)
I always felt like Vida was meant to be trans. She connected to be a woman a lot more emotionally…almost sometimes in a sad way like when her wig was pulled off.
Aqui no Brasil tem a dublagem clássica com Ricardo Schnetzer (Patrick Swayze) e Márcio Simões (Wesley Snipes) que só passou nos anos 90 e foi redublado quando saiu em DVD. Um verdadeiro crime! Nossa dublagem é a melhor do mundo!!!

So true, so ha! 😜
That was so well done, loved it! ❤

The founding fathers did have big and fabulous wigs! They also wore heels, if you didn’t know.
And velvet capris pants! Lol😊

I find it really funny that the man holding a shotgun has the nerve to call those beautiful drag queens dangerous
Oooh, I like that. Wish it was bought up.
Irony at it's finest lol. He's an idiot.
Tell the Sherrif to SASHAY AWAY. lol.

So relevant to today@@colinwhitfield8627
Miss Clara and Noxema are the cutest relationship in the movie! I used to watch the mess out of this... there's so much heart, definitely a feel good cult classic!
"So you can just DRAG yourself on outta here!" 🤣😂That line gets me EVERY time! LOL
This scene was prophetic. These are exactly the kinds of drag queens that the Proud Boys would have gone after.
Oh Jesus, wouldn't it be great to see Patrick Swayze go full Roadhouse on a shitload of Proud Boys while wearing an adorable top and on point make up?
Yes, was thinking same thing: Desantis could play the deranged Sherriff & he would Not have to pretend!!
I highly doubt they would care if someone was in drag
@@kevin15776 Who wouldn't care? The proud boys who have been attacking drag queens or Desantis who says they're all pedos?

Watch it. It will make you laugh, cry and encourage you. The performances given by Patrick and Chris will floor you.
They really need to re-release this film in theaters nationwide . . . particularly in Tennessee and Florida
Florida has seen this movie a million times but Tennessee is another matter
Any Red MAGA state...
@@caronstout354blue states are worse because most of the countries trash live there
Omg that red look with the veil and that walk up.....absolutely stunning !!!!! Just a moment 😍😍

Can we appreciate how Wesley Snipes lifts the bed with his shoulders...I mean...damn sugar plum
Such a underrated movie. Everyone was just brilliant in this.
I like that the whole town protected them even though they didn’t understand what they were but the were kind and loving!

This movie.........Was so far ahead of its time.
I love this movie, Patrick Swayze was awesome in this. RIP Patrick Swayze
"Well, I cant tell you one thing about them fou ding fathers...they sure had fabulous wigs."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice!!!
It’s the way he nudges the tip of his hat that is the icing on the cake.😂
I was lucky and got to watch a lot of this being filmed, I lived approximately a half a mile away, they are great actors.

love how against type this was for all three of these guys but yet they did it and pulled it off REALLY well!

Yeah.. it's almost frightening how perfectly this film fits into today's world
This movie is more important than ever.
When i first saw this movie i thought this people were crazy dressed as women. Now in adulthood i understand what life can do to people. The actors did great
LMAO!! the way they just made fun of him and burned him up! LOL the looks on his face were priceless.
This should be shown at every school board meeting, every state house
“They sure had fabulous wigs…” Loved it!
I love Stockard Channing!!
I can't help but think of Peg Bundy when I see Noxie's hair.
Nothing this pretty could be real 😂😂😂 fuck I Love this movie
Me es increible como esta pelicula envejecio tan bien, tiene un mensaje importante y hermoso
Boy, this hits different in 2024.
I love this movie, I hope it would come to 4k someday
The times I’ve been down on life and myself this is the movie that got me through it.
The guy with the dog does his hat tip in a way that feels like a big middle finger XDD
Love the "wanna touch my boa" kid, too!
Absolutely LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
Y no trailers , pelicula completa es un clásico
Ahh feels good every time I see this movie. Will always be one of my faves.
Прекрасный актёрский состав! Великолепный фильм! Множество раз мной пересмотренный.
The founding fathers definitely had great wigs 😌
I'm amazed when a man can walk or dance in heels cause I can't even stand up, 😩 lol
Heels were a sign of status for men way back in the 1700s and 1800s 😊

But Is freaking good.
😙ví esta peli hace muuucho...👍😆...gratos recuerdos...
The ending was a real game changer! ❤
One of the funniest movies ever.
Of course, you need an extensive knowledge of pop culture to get the jokes.
I love how by the end a town with about 5 buildings suddenly has a population of 3 million people
This is one a best Film of DragTheme and a superb funny Cast.... Amen ‼️‼️‼️
Wesley and John took the job seriously and with fun. Patrick thought it was going to be all one big joke and then took it so seriously he was a drama queen. 😂
Wesley said he took inspiration from his auntie (i think) and Bette Midler (bc of her sashay walk)
Noxeema getting verklempt about the village defending them is a tear jerker. 😊❤
THAT WAS AMAZING!! They should have leftthat in.
Deverian hacer version nueva de esta movie qe fue sensasional,,, en el 2024,,,
Die Idee ist gut,aber eine Neuauflage wird nicht die Ausstrahlung von Patrick Swayze erreichen,glaube ich❤❤❤
Esta película deberia estar en TV como.ottos clásicos es muy buena .Y Traducida en español
I have watched this movie so many times it ain’t even funny. 😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️ I ADORE this movie!!!
“I’m a drag queen right here” is the best response 😂
Just for fun, check out the Aussie take on drag queens called "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". It's hilarious, too!
Yes with Hugo Weaving!
One of my all time favorite movies
Noxeema coming out from under the bed is always going to be hilarious to me.
I always felt like Vida was meant to be trans. She connected to be a woman a lot more emotionally…almost sometimes in a sad way like when her wig was pulled off.
Watch this movie some months ago and I enjoyed it a lot 😁
Gosh Patrick is simply gorgeous
