300 (2006)

Transsexual no 1 A big budget film about the Spartans and the battle of Thermopylae. It's not intended as a historical re-creation, and you need a lot of imagination to make it work for you other than a sort of science-fiction film set in the past.

The cruel, and strangely gender-ambiguous Xerxes enters a sort of debauched brothel to get information; various forms of naughtiness are going on, although nothing so naughty as to prejudice the censors' certification. Three transsexuals are in the credits and they are in this scene; I think this is Transsexual (Asian) #1 played by Manny Cortez Tuazon.

Transsexuals no 1 and 2 And I think this is Transsexual (Asian) #2 played by Cindy and Transsexual (Arabian) #3 played by Atif Siddiqi, but I can't be sure. Transsexuals rank below concubines in the credits.

It's a weird film.
