The Supergrass is a 1985 British comedy film written and directed by Peter Richardson. The film starred Richardson, Adrian Edmondson, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Keith Allen, Nigel Planer, Alexei Sayle, Ronald Allen and Robbie Coltrane.[2] After returning from a holiday in the West Country, Dennis Carter (Adrian Edmondson) untruthfully boasts of being a drug smuggler. However, he is overheard by the police, who persuade him to become a supergrass and inform on his associates.

The Supergrass was the first feature-length film by the 1980s alternative comedy group The Comic Strip.

To the consternation of fans, the DVD release of this film was the shorter theatrical version, missing around 8 minutes of footage present in the original VHS release.

The soundtrack to the film featured original music from Keith Tippett, plus contributions from P.P. Arnold, Grace Jones and Bob Marley, among others.
