Seize Control of the Taj Mahal (Redux)

About This Movie

Seize Control of the Taj Mahal (Redux) takes you on a wild ride with Brenda and Glennda as they lead a group of drag queens to the glitzy Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino. What starts as a fun-filled gambling escapade quickly morphs into a vibrant protest, capturing the essence of a bold cultural moment. The tone is a unique blend of camp and seriousness, with a pacing that keeps you engaged between the performances and the unfolding tension. You can’t overlook the practical effects, which, though modest, add a certain charm. It really stands out for its unapologetic celebration of identity and resistance, making it a significant piece in the tapestry of LGBTQ cinema in the early '90s.

This film has a rather elusive presence in collector circles, often overlooked yet holding a certain charm that intrigues those familiar with the Brenda and Glennda series. It's not widely available, which adds to its appeal among collectors who appreciate the niche it occupies. VHS copies occasionally surface at conventions, and the scarcity of streaming options seems to keep the interest alive for those hunting for unique LGBTQ-themed titles from the era.
