Vegas in Space

Before Paris is Burning and Priscilla Queen of the Desert, there was Sydney's Legendary Child Doris Fish. And she was glorious The *ideas* that sprang from her mind... All you have to do is watch Vegas in Space to know her greatness. Only Doris Fish could possibly co-write and star in a gender-bending, interstellar space spectacular. With a theme song.Vegas In Space should be mandatory viewing for every film buff in the known universe. It's that Brilliant. (Or that Bad, depending upon your point of view.) It's a gloriously kitschy delight - complete with sex-change pills and psychedelic dream sequence and legendary Queens of all kinds. Oh, it's all just so... FABULOUS. It's a joyous precursor to RuPaul's Drag Race - and quite possibly one of its inspirations.I saw Vegas in Space through Amazon Prime Video; and I had to go out and purchase my own copy on DVD. Just in case. *You* know. This is a film with a heart - one that's Good. And shiny. In these times of political uncertainty and downright hate, this movie is a little piece of heaven. Vegas in Space was goofily, lovingly made for times like this. It proves that through drag, everything is possible. Even Vegas in Space. *Especially* Vegas in Space.

This movie was shot on a low (very) budget and the effects are so cheap, but the storyline and the cast of mostly female impersonators make this a true camp classic. Not as raunchy as the John Waters/ Divine stuff, or as well produced as camp movies like Flesh Gordon or Rocky Horror Picture Show, it is still as amusing and entertaining. I first saw this at a College Independent Film Festival and loved it. It's been really hard to find and I'm glad you can get it now on Amazon in DVD format. Unfortunately in may not be around long in this release so get it now and enjoy it forever.

The cast of this movie are absolutely iconic and the dialogue has allowed many generations of quotes. An absolute joy made on a shoestring of a budget. Soundtrack is fantastic. Glorious.(Evidently, if you want Star Trek, don't watch this. If you love drag culture and have a sense of humour and/or pulse, watch instantly)

My wife and I were in stitches the whole film, absolutely fantastic. I'll probably watch it another hundred times showing it to everyone else I know!

It's funny you can tell it was made in the 1970's . The fact that it was filmed in one room explains a lot but on the other hand you would think it was filmed in a much larger area in some scenes. Not everybody will enjoy this movie but it's worth a look at .

So bad it's AWESOME !!! Please give it a try !

such a fun and campy movie

Funny, funny, funny film. The director has stated that he set out to make a really stupid film. See this surreal hilarious movie. I have seen it many times. Very low budget cult classic.
