En découvrant le film The Notorious Bettie Page, produit par la chaîne HBO en 2006, la principale intéressée avait réagi sans équivoque : "Mensonges ! Mensonges !" Dans une longue interview enregistrée peu avant sa mort, celle qui est entrée dans l'inconscient collectif comme la pin-up par excellence a livré sa version des faits au réalisateur Mark Mori. D'une voix rocailleuse, Bettie Page raconte sa propre histoire et lève le voile sur des zones souvent masquées par des images qui ont fait fantasmer tant d'hommes et de femmes depuis les années 1950 : son enfance maltraitée, une éclipse qui dura quarante ans, sa maladie mentale. À travers des témoignages et des archives inédites, ce documentaire fait revivre un corps et un visage déclinés à l'infini sous nos yeux, ainsi que Bettie le souhaitait : "Je voudrais que les gens se souviennent de moi comme j'étais sur les photos.

Adam West and Burt Ward go in search of the Batmobile after it is stolen, and along the way find themselves forced to consult their memories to decipher clues left by the criminals, evidently people they had known from filming the Batman television series. Memories include affairs, one of which led to Burt being chased by a knife-bearing lover, medicine Burt was forced to take so his genitals would not be so visible in his tights, and Adam meeting the actress who played Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) and accidentally placing a hand on her breast during filming. As it turns out, the villains who stole the Batmobile were the actors who once played the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) and Catwoman (Julie Newmar).

After tying for the win in New York's "Drag Queen of the Year" contest, Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) and Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) win a trip to Hollywood to take part in the even bigger, "Miss Drag Queen of America Pageant." Before they depart, Vida persuades Noxeema to take along the inexperienced "drag princess" Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) as their protégé (the duo initially refer to Chi-Chi simply as a "boy in a dress" rather than as a fully-fledged drag queen). To do this, they trade in their airplane tickets for cash and buy a stylish but old Cadillac convertible with money given to them by John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (Robin Williams). The three of them set off for Los Angeles by car, carrying with them an iconic photo of Julie Newmar (signed, "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything! Julie Newmar") that Vida purloined from a restaurant wall.
