I never perceived it that way back then, but then again I was 8 years old when this was my favorite movie of all time.

I think his post is a bit subversive
maybe he's right.
I'm just on my way up to Clavius.

Wes, Bennett would definitely approve of your post - and if Matrix was here, he'd approve too!

I think instead of saying Bennet looks like Freddie Mercury, people should start saying Freddie Mercury looks like Bennet if he started working out and took steroids, Bennet could be that popular now. The only bad thing about hanging out with those 2 would be their idea of a slash hunt may not be my idea!

I have a feeling that somewhere in the great beyond, the late great Freddie Mercury smiles any time "Commando" airs on television. And who could blame him?
"Let off some steam, Bennett!"

That chain link fence vest he wore led me to believe that Bennett is definitely light in the Loafers!

Freddy Mercury + Falconetti = Bennett

Bennet was fat.

Who gives a beep, and what difference does it make? he does look like a bit of a pussy, though.

No question about it. But in the end, Matrix penetrates Bennett with his big ass pipe, not the other way around.
He took my kidneys, Raylan, not my dick!

Yeah.

This is actually discussed in the FAQ. He did play a homosexual character in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

lol so funny!now i see the real aspect of this movie!!

Arnold did say you want to stick it in me and twist. Kinky nearly brought him to orgasm saying that.
I think Bennett saw he was being left on the shelf, with the daughter present and wanted that hidden life in the mountains with pal of many years.
Had to teach him a lesson in gay revenge, especially unappreciated fat gay men compared to cheating steroid takers.
They don't make gay romance films like this any-more, shame.
Tear jurking should have been in the description.
Arnold has to rub it in at the end when the colonel asks him if he wants to do it again, and he said "No Chance"
brought a tear to my eye, powerful stuff. Then the song "We fight for love" begins with the credits.
What ever did happen to Arnold wife who he had the daughter with?
Perhaps the catholic church wanted to ban such a controversial film like this.

"I'll be waiting, John!"

I hadn't seen this in 25 years and I had the same thought. But the effeminate bad guy used to be a cliche in lots of spy movies. He didn't even seem a plausible challenger to Arnold. Just a fat guy in leather pants.
Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement Listen, kid, we're all in it together.

At least Bennett wasn't a pedo like Sully. Thank heavens he wasn't left alone to guard Jenny!

He wasn't gay, you were confused because he sounded British.
(Although he's Australian, but anyway)

Was Bennett gay?
Sure, he was. Bennett doesnt need to explain himself on this matter. The real question is whether or not John Matrix liked the men. Bennett seemed to think Matrix was living a lie and hated him for it. Explains everything. In some ways this movie is like an adaptation of Gore Vidals The City and the Pillar, with Matrix as Jim.

Gay or straight, Bennett was awesome. He really did look like Freddie Mercury on steroids!

Either asexual or gay(not that it matters) or at least bisexual probably. Especially since he looked like a member of the village people with that weird-ass chain vest thing and his mustache(unless perhaps that was a thing of the movie's era)
While it isn't super important I found myself wondering the same thing the first time I watched the movie.
