Rented this movie on a lark and decided to buy it before the end. Showed it to our friends (including some conservative friends) as background during a card game and had to turn it off, because people kept paying attention to it. The movie is certainly risque, but it is unbelievably funny.
Though I should warn you rating this movie high, as you will, will have Amazon reccomending you gay coming of age drama for no reason I can figure out other than the homosexuality of the characters in the film, so you may not want to use it for your reccomendations.

Nine Dead Gay Guys (Lab Ky Mo, 2002)
Nine Dead Gay Guys is an otherwise amusing film that suffers from the single worst sound transfer I've ever encountered on a DVD, and I've watched a whole lot of low-budget DVDs over the years.
The story concerns Byron (Touching the Void's Brendan Mackey) and his best friend Kenny (character actor Glen Mulhern) traversing their way through a small segment of the London gay underground. Kenny has come over from Ireland to visit Byron, and has no idea of what Byron does in London to earn money. When he finds out, he's initially disgusted, but ends up falling right into it with Jeff (Steven Berkoff of War and Remembrance, Absolute Beginners, The Krays, etc.), one of Byron's favorite tricks. The problem is, everywhere Kenny goes, gay guys turn up, well, dead. Add in a subplot about an orthodox Jew who goes under the alias Golders Green (Simon Godley, a regular minor character on Alias Smith and Jones) with a bedful of money, and you've got a comedy.
Well, okay, you've got a mishmash of stereotypes. But it does contain some genuinely funny moments, some of them possibly unintentional (for example, the Desperate Dwarf, played by Raymond Griffiths, looks way too much like Graham Norton for the casting to be a coincidence). Ultimately, it could have been a mindless, amusing piece of tripe well worth whiling away an evening.
But then comes the sound transfer.
By now, I'm sure we're all well aware that there has yet to be a DVD made, at least in my experience, that has a proper sound transfer. To a one, the music is far too loud, and the voices are far too soft. Nine Dead Gay Guys takes it to extremes, forcing the viewer to turn the sound up almost to the maximum when there's nothing but voice and ambient sound, resulting in deafening blasts of music on regular occasions. It's hideous. I've heard better sound transfer on public-domain flicks from fly-by-night companies. ** (half a point knocked off for horrible sound transfer).
 Okay.. well July 15, 2004

Kind of funny. Silly. Harmless. Diverting. But it could have been 9 Dead Crooks, 9 Dead Italian Guys, 9 Dead Working-Class Stiffs .. whatever. Yes, some of the humor comes from the gay factor and maybe its ultimate successs is the fact that there could be interchangable 9 Dead ___ Guys, but it still doesn't amount to too much. Silly, crass, amusing. Okay rental for a boring night.
Close the blinds folks... September 6, 2005

Awful. Funny. Awful. Shameless. But it was a like a train wreck, so I had to watch until the end.
A Mildly Interesting Sex farce April 25, 2004
Tim Brough (Springfield, PA United States)
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
Word of warning: if you are even the slightest bit offendable, this movie is not for you. Everyone is a target here. Gays, Jews, blacks, the elderly, short people, lesbians, not one topic is sacred.That said, this off the wall sex farce has its moments, but never quite gels into anything memorable. The plot, such as it is, revolves around two London club drinkers (Kenny and Bryon) who are willing to go down on the locals in a gay bar for drink money, all the while insisting that they aren't gay. (Or are they?) Then comes the news that one of the regulars is dead, and the intimations that there is a substantial amount of cash hidden somewhere the property of one of his regular tricks. Naturally, the men who find it first are going to be the collectors. But not before 8 more dead gay guys make their way into the picture for different silly reasons. Problem is, these characters are rushed in and out of the movie so quickly that you may never get a clue as to what their function is other than to become the punch line of a tasteless joke. Ultimately, "9 Dead Gay Guys" is more bark than bite. If there had been a little more attention to developing this into more than a couple of obvious naughty laughs, it could have been so much funnier. Not like tastelessness is a problem with the movie, the whole design is to BE without taste and offend as many folks as quickly as possible. Now if all that sounds appealing to you, you'll probably enjoy the movie and its running gags about sex, gays, death, drinking and the Really Hard Red Bull Test. Of which Kenny may just be the one man who can pass, in more ways than one.
