Sungay: Vegas in Space
1991, Rated R, 85 min. Directed by Phillip R. Ford. Starring Doris Fish, Miss X and Ginger Quest.
Biased as I am toward video rental nonprofit We Luv Video – that’s right; I pay $10 a month to rent Beverly Hills Cop instead of buying it on iTunes – their new SunGAYS screening series is factually cool. Cutting through the easy queer cinema choices such as But I’m a Cheerleader or To Wong Foo, these movie mavens pull Nineties sci-fi passion project Vegas in Space for the series’ inaugural show. Plot? Rare gems go missing on a ladies-only planet, and three Earth soldier boys must disguise themselves as women to help hunt the stones down. Bold, beautiful, and totally drag-tastic, this is the perfect bow on your Pride month schedule. – James Scott
