XD 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.' I haven't seen that movie in years. God, when people would talk about how they would see a combination of Elrond and Agent Smith when they looked at Hugo Weaving, aka 'Agent Elrond,' I'd always chime in about how I saw a transvestite 'Agent Elrond.'
I agree with the whole bit you said about how they pushed themselves into a corner. But if they'd gone ahead with a more faithful version, I'm sure people would have put up a hullaballoo about it. Maybe the controversy would have made it more popular. Either way, Stars will never make it over here officially dubbed. We just have to put up with fansubs. But there are some pretty good fansubs, actually.
And I saw the uncut version of the SuperS season first, so I knew when I saw the edited version that they hadn't been brothers. It was painfully obvious. All in all, that was a fascinating episode, actually, since it had Fish-Eye 'the girl' tearing off 'her' shirt revealing 'her' flat chest. The amount of editing they did to cover up 'her' flat chest was ridiculous. And they did a crappy job of it as well. And they also did an awful job trying to 'cover up' the nature of Haruka and Michiru's relationship. Three words: Hand. Holding. Scene. Enough said.
And another sex change: they made Zirconia a male in the dubbed version! For no reason!

And it completely ruined the plot point that Zirconia was supposed to be Nehellenia's mirror-image, herself as the old hag she so feared becoming.
