- Quotes
Marguerita Ventura: You bitch!
Rosie Velez: Ever since I came here, you've done nothing but treat me like shit. Who the hell do you think you are? Yeah, I was a dance hall girl, but what makes you so high and mighty? You own a whorehouse! A whorehouse!... and with only three whores in it. One of them is just a senile old cow.
[aside to Big Ed]
Rosie Velez: No offense, honey.
[back to Maguerita]
Rosie Velez: And the other one's so new at it, she doesn't know which end to use. So what does that make you? The only whore in Chili Verde. Yeah, I came here for the gold, because I've been poor all my life.
Marguerita Ventura: You've got it all wrong, honey. You've been cheap all your life.
Rosie Velez: Cheap?
[picks up a chair, and breaks it over Maguerita]
Rosie Velez: This furniture is cheap.

Tab Hunter plays it straight, which really sells it. Divine is a lot of fun. The supporting cast is full of recognizable faces and capable actors.
There's a story about buried gold in here somewhere, but who cares. The plot is besides the point.
I regret not piling my friends into the car and going to see this at the drive-in the summer of 1984. It would have been a lot of laughs. OK, it's not Blazing Saddles, but it's a h3ll of a lot funnier than most alleged comedies then or now. In fact, there are enough funny one-liners in this movie that I'm a little surprised it didn't become a cult hit where fans constantly quote from it in online chat boards.
I might have to set about changing that.
