CGiii Comment
Mr Yeung needs to employ a scriptwriter who can write comedy...because, what he has written here is nothing short of excruciating.
We only say this because it looks like this is going to become a feature film...15 years after the original, let us hope that Mr Yeung's talents have improved, both as director and writer.
Better actors would have been an added bonus.

The(ir) Blurb...
A love story set in 90s London, following the life of Monty, a gay Chinese anglophile, desperately seeking his "white knight".
A chance encounter with his new Chinese neighbor, Jai Ming, turns Monty's Vivienne Westwood wardrobe upside down. Initially repulsed by the idea of being with his own kind, Monty experiences unfamiliar feelings of attraction followed by reactionary denial and a long overdue look in the mirror at his own inferiority complex.
A modern comedy with a dash of camp and a trace of glamour, Yellow Fever is an offbeat and witty portrayal of gay Chinese subculture in a European-dominated society.
