Genres change over time as society's values and fashions change, as the audience changes, as technology changes. While earlier road movies featured male rebels on the run or an outlaw couple like Bonnie and Clyde, Thelma and Louise directed by Ridley Scott marked a new development in the genre. Featuring two female protagonists it turned upside down the usual male preoccupations of the road film. It also influenced later films like the Australian film Priscilla Queen of the Desert and the New Zealand tribute to the road film, Snakeskin.
