message: I didn't want to just tag this non-neutral, but I have some issues with the following:
The film explored gay stereotypes without always reverting to those stereotypes just for a cheap laugh. The main characters were neither sinners, nor evil (like many gay, lesbian, and transgender characters in early film) nor perfect, saintly martyrs (i.e Philadelphia), but rather fully formed characters with strengths and flaws.
These two statements are decidedly POV. I haven't seen the film, however, and I'd like to ask/encourage someone who has to try to clean this section up just a bit. Thanks! --S0uj1r0 08:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have seen the film (several times) and I have just tried for about an hour to re-write that paragraph into something coherent.  It needs to be more scholarly and frankly what that paragraph is trying to express is way too complicated and abstract.  I give up, but I don't think it should be deleted either.

message: Anyone else recall this man wearing futuristic tonic suit pulling a cart or trolley of some sort running with some kinda of strobe light on an antenna on the cart? What's the deal with that?

replies: text: The joke is from the begining of the film where they are seen leaving Sydney along with a woman who is said to be running across Australia in some sort of round-the-clock marathon.  The joke is that she is running as fast as they can drive.Nleamy 04:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The stage adaptation has it's own Priscilla Queen of the Desert - the Musical article.  The stage adaptation content in the film article is long in comparison to film article's length.  I suggest moving the bulk of the stage adaptation commentary to that article.  Conrad T. Pino 10:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: An IP editor has recently changed the description of the three main characters. It was "three drag queens, one of whom is a transsexual and the other two are homosexuals.". It is now "three drag queens, one of whom is a heterosexual transwoman and the other two are homosexual cismen".
I'm reasonably well read, but I've never come across the terms transwoman and  cismen. They may well be accurate, but I haven't ever seen such terms used to describe the characters before. I haven't looked at all the references (some are to a book I don't have), but there's no hint that those words are used in any of them. 
If the terms are accurate, I guess they're doing no harm, except confusing people not close to the LGBT scene. They did look a bit odd and made up when I first saw them, so I reverted the changes, but our IP editor de-reverted with an edit summary including "huh? " and "what gives?". He/she seems fairly committed to the change. I'm not touching the changes again until we have a bit of discussion on the matter.

thread_title:  Some fancy descriptors for the characters 

message: I just removed a claim that the involvement of Jason Donovan in the musical version of the film is "interesting" given the references to Kylie Minogue in the script. Firstly it is unreferenced. Also it is POV. Also, it is not really very "interesting" given that the main co-star of Donovan and Mingoue throughout their Neighbours stint, was Guy Pearce, who played a lead role in the original The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert film.

thread_title: Interesting POV

message: Greetings all,
Been hunting for information on the song performed in the movie. I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor in the movie had some incredible backing performance and vocals mixed in from the cast extras that were Aboriginal Australians. Was there ever an actual song rendition of this. I have the soundtrack with the original song and a remix. I would much prefer finding a copy fully produced from how it was presented in the movie itself.
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with any information on this.
Sincerely,
Ham Channell
As far as I know, it was not released a version of this mix of the song you mention. However if you are interested in the original score of this movie, there is an album called "The Priscilla Companion" with the instrumental songs composed specifically for this movie by Guy Gross. I added this information on Wikipedia as you can see in (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Adventures_of_Priscilla,_Queen_of_the_Desert&diff=610243968&oldid=610243836) But user HiLo48 deleted it allegedly that my source was uncertain, even though I added the correspondent sources but he ignored them deleting again and again. I have a mix of the song "I will Survive" with the chants you make reference to direct from the movie audio track. If you're interested contact me with your e-mail and I will share it.
Sincerely,

thread_title:  Anon here requesting this be added to Category:Films about buses 

message: The section on post-production says the following: 
"On the advice of early viewers, the film was shortened and scenes such as Adam's flashback about his paedophilic uncle were cut out."
Anyone who owns the film on blu-ray will know that the stated flashback appears at 30 minutes into the movie and is not cut. Has this been reinstated on home video releases, or was it never cut in the first place? In any case this should be changed but as I don't see this information elsewhere online I'm not sure what to cite; it's easily disprovable for anyone who owns a copy of the movie. Even if the information is in the cited book, then that source must be incorrect. Is the veracity of the claim that the film was shortened on the advice of early viewers also thrown into question by this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmbroseCadwell (talk • contribs) 00:26, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
