Eat the Rich (1987, UK)
The cannibal comedy/satire has a long cinematic history, (it says here), ranging from the arty (Grave Indiscretion) to the grindhouse (The Corpse Grinders) to somewhere in between (Eating Raoul). Usually overlooked in this genre is the energetically spite-filled Eat the Rich, an off-shoot of the British "The Comedy Strip Presents" TV series.
Allan Pellay plays Alex, a transsexual waiter at B**tard s, a hoity-toity restaurant specializing in endangered species ("The baby panda...is it fried in honey?"). After getting fired and thrown out onto the street, Alex's attempt to get welfare is denied and he responds by shooting up the place. He and fellow non-recipient Ron (Ron Tarr) take to the road and begin to start a people's revolution.
