Can someone explain the ending to To Wong Foo

a delight for the mind and I

not a fan of Wesley Snipes, but I thought he was funny in this.

Yes it was supposed to be sometime in the future - Chichi went from being a boy in a dress to winning the crown thanks to Noxema and Vida who took her in as their drag daughter.

I think it was the same contest.

The movie about the three in a van in Australia with the ABBA songs was much better.

Pricilla Queen of the Dessert - and yes, yes it was.

They were traveling to the national contest when their car broke down and they rolled into that weird redneck village.

They departed Strawberry-ville to continue to the National contest and that’s what ChiChi won, that’s to Vida and Noxy

R5, that “Finally” number at the end proved how miscast those queens were. I think To Wong Foo is much more entertaining with charismatic performances.

R8 Yes, but Priscilla won an Oscar for costumes and that’s what makes up like 75% of a drag queen.

I’m like a compass due North!

Priscilla was a low budget Australian movie. To Wong Foo was a glossy Hollywood production. It should have been better because it had more resources behind it.

I like both movies and never felt the need to pit one against the other.

R12 are you new here?

Has nothing to do with money, R11, and has everything to do with Terrence Stamp and Guy Pierce’s dead eyed, miserable looking performance.

I was going to sing my post the Only DLer Not Obsessed with Pointless Bitchery, but didn't know if anyone would see it.

R12 Dearie, you may have wandered into a place that’s not quite you then.

LOL @ r16

(Been here since the 1990s.)

My apologies. I meant Hugo Weaving, not Guy Pierce. Pierce was only one who didn’t look like they were waiting for dental surgery.

R12 is blocked and I only do that for obnoxious trolls, so they’ve been here a while.

I'm blocked by someone??? Sheesh. My lack of pointless bitchery must really be offensive to some people.

TWF is probably the best gay film ever.

R21 TWF isn't even a gay film...it's a film for gays about fantasy drag queens...it is straight America's view of drag queens pre-Drag Race (before they realized how shallow, bitchy and, well, DL, drag queens really are)....

Honey, in TWF, Helen Keller, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder would've known those three women were men.

The magical decoration of their room jumped the shark in this already weak as picture.

Priscilla is a better movie.

And it came late to the game. The subject had already been covered by La Cage aux Folles (and its sequels), Torch Song Trilogy, Priscilla, A Chorus Line and Some Like It Hot, not to mention comedy performers who did drag like Milton Berle and Flip Wilson.

Were there Colorado River toads in the town water supply? How else does one explain the absence of any intelligence except for Rizzo in recognizing they were fucking men with Adam's apples the size of coconuts.

R26 Well a lovely Hermès scarf draped around the neck can do wonders for hiding an Adam’s apple.

You had to suspend belief R26 and enjoy it for what it was. You do know movies arent real life,dont you dear ?

Another movie that I know I watched and yet I don't remember a single thing about it.

r7 No it was not directly after they left strawberry-ville. Vida was competing in that - it was the next year where Chi-chi was then crowned.

Hollywood should remake TWF. One of the best gay films. I like it’s positive message and ending.

What's not to understand? Rizzo ripped off her wig and said, "I'm a man too, baby!"
