A Britsh comedy, 9 Dead Gay Guys, is the tale of Byron (Brendan MacKey) and Kenny (Glen Mulhern) who are two Irish lads come to London. Byron is having sex in the local gay pub to earn drinking money. Kenny is surpised about his friend but soon finds himself not only into gay sex for “legitimate business purposes” but because he finds he’s gay.

After Kenny “shags” Byron’s steady customer to death, the two set out to find the legendary money in Golders Greene’s bed; the money thought stolen when “the Queen” was murdered with a “class 5 offensive weapon.” That is, if they can find a way into Golders Greene’s bed without passing the “really hard Red Bull test” (stack two Red Bull drinks together). Along the way, they encounter the Deperate Dwarf, the Iron Lady, Donkey-Dick Dark, and assorted other oddball characters.

Regular Guys is a 1996 German comedy. Christoph (Christoph M. Ohrtis) is a cop who gets drunk one night after his fiancee kicks him out. He winds up in a gay bar and later wakes up in bed with Edgar (Tim Bergmann), a cute mechanic, but not able to remember what, if anything, happened between them. After another series of sad sack misadventures, Christoph decides to take Edgar up on his offer of a place to stay. Of course, a “will they or won’t they” scenario develops as Christoph not only tries to hide that he’s living with a gay man (platonically) from his buddies on the police force, but also keeping Edgar out of jail when he discovers that Edgar is part of a stolen car ring being targeted by the force. A funny, enjoyable movie (despite having to keep up with the sub-titles).
