>>Personally, the only movie I've seen this year is Batman and Transporter II. <<

So did you see this interview with the director of Transporter II:

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times recently, Transporter 2 director Louis Leterrier revealed that he was desperate to keep his American directorial debut from turning into "a Steven Seagal kind of movie — very formulaic and predigested." So he did the obvious: threw in a gay subtext.

No, really. Though Leterrier made no changes to mentor Luc Besson's script, he swears that his main character (Frank Martin, played be the lovely Jason Statham) is "the first gay action hero. To the director, not only does this wrinkle make watching the movie much more fun, but it also serves as a cheeky sort of taunt to film's audience. "Action fans in general are pretty homophobic...If they only knew they're really cheering for a new kind of action hero."

I guess it can be assumed by him having his friend come to visit, but there is nothing that overtly implies this in the film. The whole movie is such a parody of action movies it wouldn't surprise me though.

Just because he liked to keep his car clean and not mess up his suit, that makes him gay?

Sounds silly to me..
