Deborah Ward has just been released from prison and immediately plans to get her revenge on Richard Martinez, also known as Bianca Del Rio.

Reception

Roger Moore of Movie Nation gave the film a 1.5 out of 4 stars, describing it as "a rude, crude, cameo-happy sequel to “Hurricane Bianca,” with the same crazy eye makeup and the same stars as the first daft dirty dog of a gay rights goof."[3]

Sequel

As of February 2019, a third film titled Hurricane Bianca 3 is in the works and will include Sykes, Dratch and several Drag Race performers in its cast. On December 20, 2022; the film title was announced as Hurricane Bianca: The Roots of All Evil.[4] Del Rio stated in an interview that the film would be set in Africa.[5] Principal photography is scheduled to begin in March 2023 in Mobile, Alabama.[6]
