    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The town of Broken Hill is where the characters first encounter rural homophobia, and at the time, had that reputation in real life as well. After the popularity of this film, however, it established its own annual drag festival, including a parade that passes by the characters' hotel.
    • Goofs
      When they are in the bar in Broken Hill, Old Shirl comes over and slaps her right hand down on Bernadette's. Then, in the next camera shot, it's her left hand.
    • Quotes

      Bernadette: [to Shirley] Now listen here, you mullet. Why don't you just light your tampon, and blow your box apart? Because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get, sweetheart!

    • Crazy credits
      A scene after the credits finish shows an Asian garden where a blow up doll (released earlier in the movie in Australia) lands on a man, who looks quite puzzled.
    • Alternate versions
      The film was "Shown in Dragarama" at select theatres at the time of release. This involved some theatres using a mirror-ball and colored lighting during the "Finally" dance number.

      Edited into Picnic at Wolf Creek (2006)

    Take a letter, Maria
    When few countries were pushing the boundaries of the LGBTIQ community this beautiful movie tested the waters. It made Australia grow up in an era when economically everyone wanted to go back to a more comfortable time. It came out around the same time as Muriel's Wedding which is equally about a run down family of characters who are better when they come together. This movie is a prime example of Australian cinema.
