This original work by a group of San Francisco drag queens led by the versatile Doris Fish is delightfully imaginative in its individual constituent parts and the concept is tremendously likable, but in the end it fails to overcome its own limitations as a purely niche movie. The costume spectacle about secret agents in the guise of women infiltrating the court of the queen of Vegas in Space is mainly an excuse to show off drag outfits and scenery. The first half of the film nicely sets the mood with a series of playful one-liners, cute self-reflective jokes and a campy fusion of sci-fi and detective flicks. The rest of the film, however, unfortunately settles into the ordinary context of an opulent drag party with a parade of queens decked out in space garb and the mandatory lip-syncing show. On the other hand, Vegas in Space never had the ambition to be anything more than a proudly papier-mâché, uncompromisingly idiosyncratic and colourful project from drags for grags and, as such, it remains immune to any surly remarks or reproaches. “The real world is rather colourless.”
