Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986)

The film portrays the character Russell, whose effeminacy and presumed homosexuality are consistently used as a source of crude, homophobic humor. It relies on harmful stereotypes, slurs, and gay panic for comedic effect, presenting these elements without critique, resulting in a problematic and denigrating depiction.

The film features Russell, a male student who desires to be a woman and frequently cross-dresses. His gender expression and identity are consistently portrayed as a source of crude humor and mockery, serving as a running gag throughout the movie. The narrative uses his character to reinforce stereotypes and generate laughs at his expense, lacking any counterbalancing dignity or empathetic exploration.
