On the run in South Africa after the murder of his mistress and her boss, Kai rapes a dying woman and contracts the Ebola virus. He miraculously escapes, becomes a healthy carrier and infects the patrons of his diner with a frightening enthusiasm.

In 1993, the Herman Yau/Anthony Wong duo had already honored the villainous universe of the Hong Kong Category III with the very salty The Untold Story. But it was only a rehearsal before this ultimate explosion, capable of redefining the notion of bad taste. The horses are loose, propriety is dead, hung with its own guts. Anthony Wong's unfiltered performance will forever stun even the most jaded of deviant moviegoers. A quarter of a century after it was made, Ebola Syndrome has lost none of its transgressive power and still sits proudly in the pantheon of the darkest and most radical comedies ever made.
