    I watched a bunch of older action movies like Top Gun, Point Break, and Commando, and the fact that those aren’t gay characters is the most confounding thing about them. At this point, I want there to be a movie that in every way is like one of those classic action movies, with gun fights and car chases and hot dudes flexing hard muscles… and then have it be exactly as gay as it seems. Big guy blows something up with a rocket launcher, delivers a one-liner, then turns to his boyfriend, kisses him, and they ride off into the sunset on a speed boat.

    Truly, if you watch some of the action movies from the 80s and 90s, that would be a more tonally consistent ending for quite a few of them.

      I’m not a huuuuge fan of romance + action, but the lack of gayness feels pretty noticeable at this point. It’s like a loud silence

        The director’s other cut is the whole gay subplot going along in the moments you don’t see between scene changes.
        The real reason so many conversations go “There’s no time to explain!” then cut to 30 minutes later driving and delivering the next line? All. Out. Boning.
