"Or maybe you're the one who is gay and by trying to find these so called homosexual overtones, you're really trying to come to grips with your own feelings."
I guess because I can point out some wierd moments of film that makes a homo right. Damn! well I see the true gay guy has step up.
I can never understand those who get angry at comments made at this message board. This is a place to express your opinion on a topic. Not attack those who make the observation. By the way I am happy married to a woman, Bob! Keep up those stupid comments and you will meet Bob!!!
You smell that! Huh? It's that new perfume sirwilliam12003 is wearing! What's that ENVY! What PENIS ENVY!!!

C'mon! The homoerotic overtones are all over the place in Tango & Cash, just remember that scene in the shower! or what about Kurt Russell in drag?
I don't have problems dealing with that, if at least the "jokes" were moderately funny, but they ain't funny at all!
Tango & Cash is Sly and Russell in their gayest roles ever. -

I totaly agree, when I saw this movie it was the first thing I thought about, how close they where in the shower, the trans-dressing part, the penis talk and the sexy clothes after all, mostly guys watch movies like these Why are the guys dressed so sexy in a movie intended for guys?

Gay guys don't think all straight men are secretly gay. But we can still enjoy fantasizing, just like straight people do about women in movies they don't ever have a hope in hell of ever actually shagging and will probably never meet. This is sort of the point of putting pretty people in movies actually. And for the record, Kurt Russell > Sly.

I agree with this posting far more than the others. As a 60 yr. old gay guy who has many straight singles and couples as good friends, I have been around the block a few times. I think the writers meant the scenes w/gay overtones as just funny little sidebars. Most secure, stable straight and gay men should just get a harmless laugh out of them. I thought russell looked better in drag than a lot of women. So let's all enjoy a funny, not very cerebral movie and move on!

I truely believe anyone who doesn't completely and utterly repress themselves has had a gay thought at some point in their life. Doesn't mean they are gay, just means they have wondered.

"I had a gay friend who said that everyone has gay thoughts."
I don't know if this is true or not however, assuming that it is, wouldn't it hold that the reverse is true - that everyone gay has hetero thoughts?
I have a number of gay friends, and I've never heard anyone mention this. -

I got the feeling that the character of Tango might be gay, considering the things he said throughout the movie and whatnot. It's hinted at, but nothing is said, so the viewer can decide for themselves I guess, but the subtext is there, for sure.

"Tango & Cash is one of the gayest action movies in history"
'T & C' is way up there - but I've always thought that 'Top Gun' is one of the gayest movies in history. Which doesn't stop it from being a great movie, but really, all of these scenes with them in towels, right out of the shower?
Loved it
'The Big Hit', with Mark Whalberg is another good one. -

Nowadays It's to the point where every single messageboard has at least one person that starts a thread suggesting gay overtones and what not. Whether it be because one guy jokingly makes a gay comment or two people in a movie are true friends. Why is everybody so desperate to see homosexuality when it isn't there. I just don't get it
