Top Banana Club (1996) was a film made by Anthony Wong and his buddies (Dayo Wong, Esther Kwan, Bobby Yip etc..). The story is about a popular Hong Kong radio show and their lives and stories about the three hosts, the movie also re-enacts the stories told to the hosts by the air on air guests. Anthony Wong mentioned about how badly Hong Kong society and entertainment treats "outsiders" (such as Gays and Alternative people). He tries to include deep messages as well as bizarre humor. Too bad this movie didn't make money or is not popular enough to warrant a re-release on either DVD or VCD. I enjoyed this movie as well as the funny sketches and music from Anthony Wong's rock band. If you're a fan of Anthony Wong then you'll get a kick out of this movie. Another film based on the Top Banana Club was produced around the same time.
Highly recommended.
