Nine Dead Gay Guys Nine Dead Gay Guys

Director: Lab Ky Mo

Year: 2003

Warning: This film contains scenes of a controversial nature, political correctness is undetectable, bad taste and silliness are bountiful - those of a sensitive disposition beware.<br /> <br /> The story of two unlikely lads from Belfast stumbling through London's underground gay scene in search of gainful employment to subsidise their giros.<br /> <br /> Our protagonists build up an unusual clientele, offering their services to the homosexual misfits who just can't get laid. When one of the lads witnesses the death of a punter, they are forced to look for 'work' elsewhere which leads them to discover the myth of 'The Bread in the Bed' - a bed packed full with money that can only be accessed by the man who has what it takes to pass the mysterious 'Really Hard Red Bull Test'. Nine Dead Gay Guys is the hilarious, outrageous but unfortunate result of the ensuing caper.
