Pink Flamingos Movie Review 1972

Divine, the dainty 300-pound transvestite, faces the biggest challenge of his/her career when he/she competes for the title of World's Filthiest Person. Tasteless, crude, and hysterical film; this one earned Waters his title as "Prince of Puke." If there are any doubts about this honor--or Divine's rep--watch through to the end to catch Divine chewing real dog excrement, all the time wearing a you-know-what-eating grin.
