Two straight lads from Belfast, Kenny (Glenn Mulhern) and Byron (Brendan Mackey), embark upon a voyage of discovery through London's outrageous gay scene, with the intention of finding their fortune. They are on the lookout for what they loosely term 'gainful affair;' that is to say turning tricks of the non-penetrative nature for UFO's or ugly fat old men. However, when Kenny manages to polish off his first guy, Jeff (Steven Berkoff), he is forced to admit that he is evidently not straight, has a gigantic personal appendage and that a new method of financing themselves must be found and fast. A roller coaster of events and extraordinary characters greet the lads as they commence upon an odyssey to find the legendary "bread in the bed," a wedge of cash rumored to reside in Golders Green (Simon Godley), a gay Orthodox Jew's bed. In order to get anywhere near his famous bed, you must first have passed the "really hard Red Bull test." ust as well because Kenny is a "big" boy. Unfortunately, the kiss of death seems to follow this pair in their adventure. The gentlemen who come into contact with them seem to be quite literally dropping like flies. Is sex possible without money? Is there such a thing as love? Well, these are the questions our unlikely heroes discover themselves confronted with. A dwarf, an electric cattle prod and three West African Brothers later, make this one film that twist and turns to raucous conclusion. -- © TLA Releasing [More]

It would have been nice if there were more bite than bark.

This movie is a little raunchy with lots of off-color humor that's bound to offend somebody. It's all done with... not exactly good taste, but in the spirit of good fun.

9DGG wants in the worst way to shock and offend the viewer. Unfortunately though, the film’s really a big softy (no pun intended, of course) dressed up in the campy drag of an outrageous farce.

The film strains mightily to be flashy and hip but finishes more in the realm of the merely distasteful.

Nonstop racial, sexual and cultural stereotypes parade across the screen with little wit or real humor to guide them.

Unfortunately director Mo Lab is so caught up in flashy visuals that he misses the fact that the script is badly structured and stuffed with cringe-worthy gags.

If garbage could think, it would look down on 9 Dead Gay Guys as garbage.

You know you're in trouble when they expect a big laugh from a trio of old ladies talking graphically about sex.
