The Prince, historically, is said to possibly have been bisexual, but in this film, his character is constructed as overtly effeminate, cowardly and ineffectual. But one creative add-on worth noting is the presentation of Prince Edward II and the defenestration of his lover Phillip. There were quite a few historical inventions in Mel Gibson's “Braveheart,” like his own character's origins, and some odd Scottish battle traditions. Sometimes a movie reeks of homophobia (See: that ol' heart-warmer “Cruising”) and sometimes it's just a couple of moments in a film that feel mean-spirited to the LGBT community (“Wedding Crashers,” etc.). To commemorate this weirdly ignorant movie, we've compiled a list: movies with homophobic scenes so blatant, they made us shudder. Cut to Will Ferrell in a restaurant bathroom gagging at the sight of a penis for the amusement of a multiplex audience. Could it be the most homophobic scene in a comedy of the past ten years? It's certainly a candidate.
Yes, this movie equates consensual gay sexual activity with actual rape. In one scene, Hart insists that Ferrell go to a top LA brunch spot and give oral sex to a random patron in the bathroom to learn - I guess? - the mechanics of prison rape. The new comedy “Get Hard” stars Kevin Hart as an unlikely coach who trains Will Ferrell for a stint in prison.
