in 1995, an american film, "to wong foo, thanks for everything! julie newmar", was released, featuring three drag queens who travel across the united states. according to al clark, the creators of "priscilla" heard about the film while shooting theirs, and "for a moment [were] troubled" until they read the script of "to wong foo", when they decided that it was sufficiently different from "priscilla" to not be a commercial and critical threat. "to wong foo" proved to be critically far less successful than "priscilla", only gaining a 41% fresh score on rotten tomatoes. financially however, "to wong foo" did better at the box office making three times as much in the u.s. with over 36 million dollars.
