Enter the Phoenix

Aroview: The disowned gay son of a dying triad leader must inherit control of an organised crime family in this typically scattershot Hong Kong comedy blending slapstick, parody and martial arts action.

Tonally erratic, and leaping between various genre elements to sometimes-successful effect, the film gains further currency as a queer-themed Asian comedy, even if its gay-oriented humour remains largely dispensable in the scheme of things.
