Line 29:
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Sheriff Dollard gets this treatment from his fellow officers after blaming his "assault" on three random crossdressers.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: When the plot started to focus on hotel owner Carol Ann and her abusive husband Virgil.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Vida suffers from this contrasting with Noxie's [[Somebody ElsesElse's Problem|insensitivity]]. [[Lampshaded]] by Noxie herself.
* [[Cool Car]]: The yellow Cadillac, which doubles with [[The Alleged Car]]. They actually were given the chance to get a functional , but tasteless, grey car and declined.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Noxeema. At first she's snarky (though not deadpan) and self-serving, with a mixture of disdain and social anxiety towards the mainstream public, but warms up by the end.
Line 36:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: John "Chi-Chi" Leguizamo stands out for really looking like an attractive girl. He spent much of his stand up career impersonating his Latina relatives, so the script played to his strengths.
* [[Drag Queen]]: Well duh!
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]: In an attempt to keep Chi-Chi from running away after being deemed a "boy in a dress", Vida says that she's not quite a Drag Queen...she's a Drag Princess.
* [[Fan Service]]: The very first scene shows [[Mr. Fanservice|Patrick Swayze]] coming out of the [[Shower Scene|shower]]. Oh yeah!
* [[Foreign Remake]]: Critics claim it served as this to ''Priscilla''.
* [[The Girl Who Fits This Slipper]]: The only clue Sheriff Dullard has to find Vida is her shoe.
* [[Groin Attack]]: "Like my nails?"
* [[Honest JohnsJohn's Dealership]]: Crazy Elijah's Used Cars. ''"His cars are his children."''
* [[Housewife]]: Carol Ann starts as a sad example of a Housewife, she gets her happy ending.
* [[I Am Spartacus]]: "It's my shoe!"
Line 49:
* [[Magical Queer]]: Even though the girls are the main character they act as [[Magical Queer|Magical Queers]] to the town.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Do ''not'' mistake Sheriff Dollard's name for "Dullard".
* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: Robin Williams as [[Waxing Lyrical|John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt]].
* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]: The two pageant scenes. This would apply to any drag show, but it goes double here, as they were purposely strutting their stuff for the prize.
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Noxie.
* [[Shout Out]]: The three main characters watch the others dance from a balcony in a clear "shoutout" to "[[Sleeping Beauty]]". (They're even wearing pink, green and Chi Chi has a blue jacket over her white nightgown!)
{{quote| '''Vida:''' Girls, sometimes it just takes a fairy.}}
* [[Somebody ElsesElse's Problem]]: Noxie contrasted with Vida's [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|"foolish" compassion]].
{{quote| '''Vida:''' Virgil's beating up Carol Ann<br />
'''Noxie:''' (''unconcerned'') Most likely<br />
Line 62:
* [[Spicy Latina]]: Chi Chi.
* [[Strawberry Shorthand]]: The town's distinguishing tradition (and one of the things that perks the trio up) is their Strawberry Social -- "We all bake strawberry pies and bring them to the center of town, then we eat the pies...[[Anticlimax|and then we go home]]." The queens convince them to go all out and try and range of strawberry themes and dress in glorious bright red.
** Also serves as an [[ItsIt's Always Mardi Gras in New Orleans]], as the girls conveniently show up right when the town is about to have its only party of any sort.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: John Leguizamo in drag.
* [[Tap On the Head]]: It's worse than that. Vida simply ''shoves'' Sheriff Dollard, and he's out like a light.
