Plot: Stephen Fung's directorial debut Enter The Phoenix grossed over $10 million at the Hong Kong box office in 16-days' opening. The director/actor Fung revives classic Mafia topics with shades of black humor while tempering contentiousness of homosexuality with the love of father-and-son.

Georgie Hung (Daniel Wu) is handsome, stylish, and charming, but he hides a secret that his old fashioned father, Hung (who is a triad leader), can never forgive: he has been sent to Thailand since he was a child and never returned. After Hung's death, his right-hand Cheung intends to bring back Georgie to take over. However, Cheung finds Sam (Eason Chen), Georgie's flat-mate, whom he mistakes for Georgie. Because of this mistaken identity, Sam becomes a triad leader and Georgie becomes his right-hand. On their return, their rival, Chow (Stephen Fung), learns Georgie's secret and reveals it to the rest of the triad, hoping to become Godfather himself..
