Going back to his gun-toting, blaxploitation vixen roots, RuPaul tears up the silver screen in what is, hands down, the raunchiest performance of the year. When supermodel/agency operative Starrbooty (RuPaul) learns that her niece has been kidnapped by her archrival, Annaka Manners, Starrbooty’s only option is to go undercover as a street hooker to rescue her. The only snag in our heroine’s plan? In order to infiltrate the prostitution underworld, she has to gain street credibility by going “all the way” with the johns. But this latest top-secret assignment threatens to unravel Starrbooty to her very core — because this time it’s personal.
Jam-packed with delicious dialogue, insane characters, outrageous costumes and gratuitous hair and make-up, Starrbooty brings together for the first time on film Lahoma Van Zandt, Candis Cayne and Gus Mattox, with special appearances by Michael Lucas, Owen Hawk, Lady Bunny, Jazmine Jimenez, Corey Corey, Dee Finley, Richard Lynch, Laura Forbes, Kayvon Zand, Sweetie, Tim Wallis and Ari Gold. In RuPaul’s own words: “The goal here was to make an exploitation film that was part Russ Meyer, John Waters and The Naked Gun, and we succeeded.” Directed by Mike “Latin Boys Go to Hell” Ruiz, Starrbooty is sexy, sassy and salacious. RuPaul is…Starrbooty!
But first, Canada’s bad boy Bruce LaBruce kicks things off in revolutionary style with his new lesbian short film Give Piece of Ass a Chance.
