4 out of 5 stars Frilly, but not extra so   November 3, 2008
Tim Evanson (Washington, DC United States)
This is perhaps the only decent DVD of this movie available. The previous no-extras release was pan-and-scan, but the print appears to have been a tad cleaner than the one used for this wide-screen edition. The extras are all right: The best is about how the film came to the big screen. The weakest is the oddly edited collection of outtakes. The "behind the scenes with..." extra is good, but it is clear that the interviews were each only a few seconds long and nothing like the extended commentary you'll hear on, say, a Peter Jackson extra. The audio commentary is probably the best thing going.

All in all, if five stars is a "Isnt' that faaaaaaaaaaaaabulous?!?" and one star is a "two slags at a pie bake-off", this ranks 4.5 stars. The film alone is worth it!



5 out of 5 stars Always loved this movie   November 2, 2008
Fred Ortiz (CA USA)
I went to see this movie many times when it was at the theater, and I couldn't wait for it to release on DVD. I lost that copy in a move and went out and bought it again. It's hard to believe this movie was made on a shoe-string budget, and that they could get such an accomplished actor as Terence Stamp. Hugo Weaving, also a favorite of mine from the Matrix and Rings movies is hilarious. Guy Pierce is so believable in his role. The three combine for a hilarious and sometimes emotional rollercoaster ride through the australian outback. I recommend this for anyone's collection.

This is not a kids' movie by any means, but that being said, this movie deserves its cult following as one of the most outrageous comedies ever to be produced and shot in the Land Down Under.

I don't know what it is about Australia that produces such great movies and actors, but the world of entertainment would be lacking without them.

If you are up for a devilishly fun romp, grab a bottle of wine and settle in for a truly funny and outrageous movie experience. Now, you may be thinking that you wouldn't like a movie about the adventures and mis-adventures of three drag queens traveling the outback in a giant pink tour bus. That is what I thought and can report I was dead wrong, this movie is simply tons of over-the-top fun ;-)

The "Road Trip Movie" may never be the same again !

I first saw Priscilla back in 1994 at the local "artsy" theater that played independent movies and rocky horror on Friday nights. I had been to drag shows before, but the queens I had been around were more of the Tina Turner/Cher/Divine type. Not impersonators, but really close. I had never seen Hugo or Guy before and of course recognized Terrance Stamp due to my obsession with the Superman movies as a child. Watching Priscilla, its colors so bright against the red Australian earth, was like opening a door to another world. I loved the costumes, the humor, the simple story line; it was a simple but powerful film that has stayed with me now for 14 years! I still quote this movie.

"Do you have the Texas Chainsaw Mascara?"

"what a nice dog, what's its name?"
"Herpes.....if she's good she'll heal"

"Is this an ABBA Turd?"
