Wong Foo, or "Fooey" as his friends called him, was the head bartender at the China Bowl restaurant. It was on 152 west 44th Street east of Broadway and closed in 1993. The walls of the restaurant were covered with head shots of famous actors and actresses who had stopped by the place.
Patrick Swayze earned the role of sage Vida Boheme by improvising a thirty-minute monologue inspired by the bullying he suffered as a boy studying ballet in Texas.
According to John Leguizamo in his autobiography, his frequent improvisation angered Patrick Swayze so much that Swayze tried to punch him in the face.
Before filming the scene in which Sheriff Dollard (Chris Penn) pulls the car over at the roadside, Patrick Swayze secretly placed a corn cob down the front of his underwear. Penn's expression of shock upon putting his hand up Swayze's dress was not faked.
Gary Oldman claims he was originally offered one of the lead drag roles, but decided he didn't want to do another part that required extensive make-up after his experiences on Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
"Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual. Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that. Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen. Vida Boheme: Thank you. Noxeema Jackson: And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress!"
"Vida Boheme: Carol Ann, if we're going to be friends, there really is something I should tell you... Carol Ann: Adam's Apple? Vida Boheme: What? Carol Ann: Adam's Apple. Women don't have Adam's Apples, only men have Adam's Apples. The first night that you came to town I noticed that you had yourself an Adam's Apple. Vida Boheme: Then, then you know? Carol Ann: I know, that I am very fortunate to have a lady friend who just happens to have an Adam's Apple."
