- Synopsis:
Alex (Lanah Pellay), a transgender waiter with a 'bad attitude' is fired from 'Bastards', an exclusive debauched London restaurant, and vows to get even. After shooting up a DHSS office run by two gleefully sadistic clerks (Nigel Planer and Miranda Richardson), Alex escapes with a fellow down and out (Ron Tarr) into the country to plot a revolution. Meanwhile, Nosher Powell, an ex-boxer and now a popular fist-wielding politician, has been made Home Secretary with a licence to stamp on anyone who gets in his way. But Nosher has an important enemy - the head of DI5 Intelligence (Ronald Allen). Aided by Lemmy from Motorhead (code name 'Spider') the pair soon get to hear of Alex's plans for a people's uprising. With no money for guns or explosives, the gang construct bows and arrows and one night when the restaurant 'Bastards' is packed with the decadent rich...they attack! Seizing 'Bastards' and renaming it 'Eat the Rich', the gang begin serving up a different kind of menu altogether... - Actors:
