- Values Dissonance: Big time. There is unfortunately an entire homophobic segment of the movie where Duane and his friends go out, but his friend mistakes some transvestites for biological women. Once they point out to him that all his new paramours are men in drag, he goes into a full on Heroic BSoD (and by God, do we not wanna call him a hero, but it applies). His friends sneer and mock him for not noticing before leaving the club. He becomes utterly disgusted since he got intimate with more than one of them. They run up to introduce him to their friends and he outright growls at them like a dog, even dropping the N word to scare them off. Naturally, anyone watching the film in modern times is absolutely cringing. It's a very mean-spirited scene rather than being funny as it is clearly mocking the crossdressers and acting as if being interested in them is bizarre and gross. Sadly, it's mostly a result of the time period the movie was made. It would take a while for mainstream media to stop making fun of transvestites and crossdressers, especially in black culture.
