The handsome twins that should be their love interests never get any further than comic relief, as the girls are completely indifferent to them. |

* Quite a subtle example in ''Barton Fink'', also involving John Turturro. The only real suggestion for much of the film comes when Charlie shows him some wrestling moves. However, toward the end, {{spoiler|when the police believe he was an accomplice to Charlie's murders}}, they suggest that the pair may have had a sexual relationship - which Barton denies by clarifying that they 'wrestled together'. An odd example - very few people in the audience would suggest there was much [[Ho Yay]] there, but characters in the film do. |

* Is it possible to have [[Ho Yay]] between two characters who technically never meet? If so, then the old musical ''Brigadoon'' managed it. Come on, you know the formula: Jeff, the more cynical of the pair of outsiders, is not only uninterested in the girl that ''takes him back to her home'', but actively disgusted by her attentions. Harry, Brigadoon native, hates life and wants to leave Brigadoon. If either one had been female, you ''know'' the script would have found a way to let Harry leave with Jeff. |

More subtle in the ''other'' Truman Capote biopic, ''[[Capote]]'', but still present. Capote's real-life relationship with Perry Smith, one of two murderers he interviewed and corresponded with for five years while writing ''In Cold Blood'' has been the subject of much speculation for decades. Some of Capote's friends alleged that he'd been in love with Smith, and their letters to one another definitely come across as romantic. We do know that Capote bribed guards to allow him and Smith to be in a cell alone together, that Capote was unable to watch Smith hanged, and that Smith left him all his belongings after his death. At least Capote is confirmed to be homosexual in real life. |

* ''[[Jeepers Creepers]] 2'' is the epitome of this trope. Director Victor Salva stops at nothing to show the football team members, who are ''16'', taking their shirts off. In almost every scene. It doesn't help that they make plenty of dick jokes, argue about who is gayer, and there's a particular scene where the boys lay in top of the bus shirtless together, sun tanning. This made audiences uncomfortable, not due to the ho yay, but the fact that the characters are 16, mainly because many know that Salva is a convicted pedophile and child molester, having been arrested for videotaping himself having oral sex with Nathan Forrest Winters, the underage star of his film ''Clownhouse''. |

{{quote|"Despite Scott's homophobia, the movie has a healthy interest in the male physique, and it's amazing how many of the guys walk around bare-chested. The critic John Fallon writes 'at a certain point, I thought I was watching soft gay erotica,' and observes that when four of the guys go outside to pee, they line up shoulder to shoulder, which strikes him as unlikely since they are in a very large field. True in another movie, but in a film where the Creeper is likely to swoop down at any second and carry someone away, I would pick the tallest guy and stand next to him, on the theory that lightning will strike the tree and not you."}} |
