WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A GAY ACTN HERO YET?
I equally found trigug that right om the start, Aaron is out as a gay man. So they brought the Japane who were lookg for a submare actn film – but didn’t want the “gay” ntent.
So jt like my feelgs towards “Deadly Ski”, I both enjoy this film bee the fact the ma character is gay is not a ccial part of the plot, but equally I disklike bee of how easy is to erase away the gay aspect. Especially if you enjoy submare actn films or want to get a glimpse of what beg gay was like durg the DADT timeame.
However that aspect, Josh Colls has done an excellent job to recreate all of the elements a morn, mpy, gay film full of actn sequenc that is a party all the way until the end. After punks at school hand him multiple savage beatgs, gay teen McCla Evans (Michael O’Laskey II), discreetly begs martial arts trag wh Karen O’Neil (Diana Lee Inosanto), a myster woman who had her own cross to bear wh the prejudiced and bigoted small town muny. Told flashbacks, we watch as McCla stggl and then is victim of a gay bashg by his high school peers.
