CGiii Comment

Gay oriental films would be lost if it wasn't for swimming pools - everything seems to happen in swimming pools!

Isn't about time there was a collective agreement for Oriental directors to use their imaginations a little more - forget the f**king swimming pools.

Back to the film - you will feel the vomit rise...money has indeed been spent on this...and, the closing song is appalling.

Too many flaws to make this acceptable.
