Patrick Swayze's character was Bernadette all the way, so demure and composed. I enjoyed both of them. I watched "To Wong foo" many years ago and I find that (oddly) its title in spanish was way better: "Kings or Queens". I had so much fun with that. I JUST watched Priscilla and I think it was good although it runs a little too long. It should have ended when they arrived to their destination, that final bit was a stretch and it didn't add that much.
But God! Terence Stamp is incrediblehe was the best of the three for me, albeit not such a good dancer. -

Priscilla all the way. It's a million times better. TWFTFEJN was just a load of dribble and an american hollywoodised update of Priscilla as they quickly tried to rake in as much dosh as possible after the success of Prscilla.

PriscillaMUCH better and funnier. Also the Priscilla soundtrack can't be beat and we see the guys prefgorm in Priscillanot To Wong Foo. And Wong Foo goes out of its way to play everything safePriscilla doesn't.

I may be the only one who disagrees but I happened to see Priscilla after "to wong foo" and I found it much "greyer" than the latter one.
I may be wrong cause I just watched them to enjoy and don't know anything about the culture behind it, but in my imagination "to wong foo" it's my favourite cause it gives me a much colorful feeling, which I expect to get from a movie about drag queens.
I feel that Priscilla, on the other hand, feels more real and tells the story with a much more "real" feeling, but that's maybe just for it's colorful unbelievableness that I liked "to wong foo" more
Just my point of view by the way
