The leather skirt that won the Oscar for Best Costume Design in the film cost 7 US dollars.
The poster in the video store is the 1993 movie "Frauds", also directed by Stephen Elliot and starring Hugo Weaving.
Hugo Weaving's role in life is based on the Sydney drag queen Cindy Pastel. Pastel also has a son in life and a female partner.
Tim Kerry gave up the opportunity to play the role of Mickey.
The beginning and ending of the film were shot on the same day.
The drag queen sitting in the barber's chair at the end of the film is Tim Chappel, the costume designer of the film. In fact, many film crew members appeared in the film, costume designer Lizzy Gardiner played the maid in the hotel, and director Stephen Elliot played the janitor.
Bill Hunter also took over the Australian film "Muriel's Wedding" while shooting the film. In the two films, he has hair and beard of different lengths, and he has to run back and forth in two places.
Many shots of the film were shot on the road. However, because the car is too small to fit the entire crew, many staff members hide under clothes or other props when shooting.
