Patrick Swayze said he watched his wife, Lisa Niemi, to get the movement and mannerisms down. No wonder he was so elegant and graceful because she's a ballet dancer. I think his dance ability also helped him with body awareness.

Thank you for watching this! Patrick Swayze (Vida), Wes Snipes (Noxema), and John Leguizamo (Chi Chi) took a real risk and lost fans because they took these roles back in the day. Appreciate your bee-autiful reactions!

I really enjoy Vida's moment with the clothing store boy. As someone with a stammer, it warms my heart to see her treat him with patience and respect, and offering him a book she found very helpful in her life is such a kind gesture without condescension.

I love this movie! I have a smile on my face throughout the whole movie. When the town protects them brings a tear to my eye & makes me happy. Julie Newmar was THE Catwoman in the 60's. She was in the tv series Batman from around the mid-60s that starred Adam West.

She was one of three actresses to play Catwomwan from the '66 series: Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, and Lee Meriwether in the spin-off movie.

That Adam’s apple comment got me to when I first saw this.. so touching.

Julie Newmar was one of the original Catwoman in Batman TV series.

In many ways, the portrait was like a torch. It needs to be passed on once it’s fulfilled its purpose.

Patrick Swayze was teased as a child for being a dancer. (His mother was a ballet teacher) He did a 30 minute monologue about that as his audition for the part. And he NAILED it. Miss Vida is my favorite, but they were all brilliant. Even the towns people. (The blonde that tells em there nothing important around there for them to see is Gwenyth Paltrows mother) Amazing movie. I remember watching it as a teenager, and being blown away by all performances. Loved your reaction. 🥰 it’s such a great message about acceptance and love and friendship.

This movie used to come on often, and I would watch it every time! Love this movie and great acting and superb message of self-acceptance.

Oh I was so excited when Anne Baxter came on too! These ladies, especially Patrick Swayze, are so much like the beautiful stars of Anne Baxter’s day. Can we just admire how gorgeous Patrick is as a man or a woman? Such a classy, lovely man. I forgot how much l love this film. Oh Kemi please watch Priscilla Queen of The Desert, which actually was made first, quite a different storyline but so positive and fun and beautiful. Its an Australian film, it starred Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp. You’d love it. A lot of Abba!❤️

I love your observations about this little gem of a film. You absolutely nailed the class dynamic between Vita and Noxeema and Chi-Chi. I had never thought of that before, but you are so right. Chi-Chi was so receptive to Vita's assistance prior to seeing where she came from and what she gave up. You were also right that Chi-Chi thought Vita's kind nature was pretentious, but it was not, of course. I like how these characters are not perfect. They are just as flawed as the seemingly ignorant people they encounter. But those folks weren't ignorant at all. They were not worldly, but they were kind and tolerant, and accepted them into their community. It's such a lovely movie, but it isn't sugary sweet either. Noxeema is my favorite of the three. I don't think Wesley Snipes is given enough credit as an actor. I feel like I know Noxeema. I've personally known several women and gay men who are JUST like that. And each of them nailed the physical performance of their characters, but Wesley absolutely killed in the heels he wore.

Yeah I heard several critics mostly acknowledge Patrick and John but Wesley the one thing they didn’t like about his character was Noxeema bringing up race which is annoying but true for a lot of people of color that are in the drag community

I'm absolutely in love with this movie. And it's crazy thing to know that John Leguizamo had two absolutely different roles in year of 1995. Chichi in this film and Rat, a soldier of Executive decision.

Thanks for the reaction to this sweet, funny, endearing film. The performances are marvelous, especially John Leguizamo. ❤️ Miss Clara: “Nothing this pretty could be real.” 😂 Chi-Chi: “I got more legs than a bucket of chicken!” 🤣

I thought that one was a better film but this one was ok.

I just knew you would love everything about this! I knew a lot of drag queens in the 90s and I remember being concerned about the casting, thinking the movie might make a mockery of the culture. What a great surprise to discover just the opposite! So well done! Also love Stockard Channing (Rizzo from Grease!) as Carol Ann. Inspired by the scene where they transformed their room, my best friend and I, to this day, when we see a dull drab room will say it needs to be "To Wong Foo'd"!! 😀

You have such a gentle spirit, and the way you broke down the characters after was beautiful. I love your reactions. They're INCREDIBLE! lol

Yesssssss. This movie is THE ONE, I watched this as a kid and it has such a special place in my heart. Patrick, Wesley, and John were fantastic. As well as the statuesque Julie Newmar, and Miss Ru Paul. This makes my little LGTBQ+ heart happy. And also the fantastic Robin Williams.

I love this movie so much I don't know who cried more me or you. ❤ Supporting each other and acceptance was a big message for when this came out and it is still as important today.

Great movie with a hero's journey plot, fabulous actors! Stockard Channing doesn't seem to get enough mention. Battered wife to confident woman and eventually a fine example to her daughter. All around just good story telling. Thank you.

One of my top 20 all time films, your reaction was brilliant to watch, the way you show your emotions is beautiful. It made me smile when you saw RuPaul and you couldn’t quite remember his name. When Chi-Chi was in danger and Bobby Ray rescued her and so many others. In the beginning drag competition there were many famous drag queens of the times. One of my favourite quotes from this film ( and I use it still ) “I ain’t driving you no more Miss Daisy” Thank you for this 🥰

Thank you for watching this wonderful movie. I just love Wesley Snipes in this and his (her) sassy attitude 😂😂 All three leads are great and the message of loving each other is so needed today. I miss Patrick Swayze so much. Kemi, I recommend reacting to "The Birdcage" starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. You would love that film as well. For more Patrick Swayze films please react to "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost". Great reaction as always. You are awesome🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂.

Ooooh I am too excited! I love this movie. Everyone was so good in this movie.

YAY --- I am soooo happy to see you are doing this one!

They all just wanted to be seen. What a beautiful picture. Some of the interactions between Vida and Carol Ann hit very hard

I'm a man from South Carolina. My mom raised me and she loved drag. I've always loved this movie. Everyone in the movie acts amazingly. Another movie she loved to watch which made me love it is a musical. The Moulin Rouge. Ewan McGregor, John Leguizamo is in it as well, and Nicole Kidman. Please watch it!

The fabulous Ru Paul is the name your looking for. This movie is so amazing thank you for reacting to it.

Can't believe you watched this one! I love it! I saw this movie in 7th grade in the theater. I was on a date, my first date ever. I'm really happy i saw this film at such a young age because it helped me understand drag culture better. RIP Swayze he was incredible.

This one or the most iconic movies for me and mine. When I lived in Chicago my friends and I would go out on the town, grab a pizza on the way home, and watch this movie while everyone passed out in the living room.

I’ve been hoping you’d do this movie it’s just so much fun. Thanks kemi for sharing your reactions as always.❤🌈

Isnt it nuts that this movie was a box office smash in 1995 and yet in 2023 we're unfortunately seeing anti drag/ anti trans legislation? What in the world happened? It breaks my heart

Julie Newmar…the original Cat Woman in the TV Batman series from the 1960’s. She was also the robot in the TV show “My Living Doll” in 1964-65. Yep..your eyes saw right…that was RuPaul!

Julie Newmar was an actress best known for her portrayal of Catwoman on the Batman tv series.

I had forgotten what a good and fun movie this was, thanks!

To see John Leguizamo (Chi Chi) at his very best, seek out the recording of his one man biographical play Freak. He is simply fantastic as he pours out his heart on stage.

This one & The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert are so funny and cute. Loved the reaction.

Who would have thunk the guy who stared in BLADE and the guy who stared in ROAD HOUSE would agree to a movie where they are in drag! Granted you don't have to be dressed up all the time. I wonder if Wesley would only do it if he could do the basketball scene - it didn't add to the story, really. I love toward the end with the Adams apple part.

The one thing they didn't get right is that drag queens don't live in drag 24 hours a day, it's like a job for them. With the attack on drag in the U.S this is obviously important since these 3 straight men were willing to play drag queens back then. There were a lot of important drag queens in the beginning show like RuPaul, lady bunny, coco Peru who are all still working today.

You have got to see “The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert”. It has a similar plot and came out (if you’ll excuse the expression 😂) awhile before this film. It stars Terence Stamp (who was nominated for an Oscar), Hugo Weaving ( of “The Matrix” and “Lord Of The Rings” fame), and Guy Pearce (“L.A. Confidential”, “Memento”, and “The Count Of Monte Cristo”). It was a better film than this one imho.

This movie was wonderful but if you want to understand it a bit better "Priscilla Queen of the the Desert" was released first and I think is a better movie.
