Pink - Flamingos Subtitles

For over five decades, John Waters’ Pink Flamingos has held a notorious throne as the “grossest movie ever made.” It is a film that attacks the senses: the visuals are shocking (a notorious dog-poop scene, a cannibalistic chicken dinner, a forced fellatio finale), the soundtrack is a lo-fi assault of doo-wop and grunts, and the dialogue is a rapid-fire symphony of profanity, camp, and Baltimore-specific slang.

Creating subtitles for Pink Flamingos is an act of forensic linguistics. pink flamingos subtitles
