  namely Johnny Castle
  and Blade, Luigi looks really hot in drag.
  • And Rizzo / Abby Bartlet is an abused housewife...
  • ...and grown-up Smalls is the one doing the abusing.
  • The opening drag show is full of this, with several famous drag performers and cameo by Ru Paul as Rachel Tension, a black woman wearing a Confederate flag dress.
  • Loretta doubts Vida's commitment to Sparkle Motion.
• Old Shame: According to Swayze's memoir, Snipes hated his role so much, he burned Noxeema's costume as soon as shooting ended.
• Playing Against Type: Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes as Drag Queens. Enough said.
• Retroactive Recognition: Michael Vartan
