🥊Hit N Fun (2025): Cast, Plot, Release Date, Review & Where to Watch – Louis Koo & Gigi Leung Step Back Into the Ring

Hong Kong cinema is bringing back the adrenaline this Lunar New Year with Hit N Fun (臨時決鬥), a high-energy action-comedy that mixes martial arts, family drama, and unexpected humor. Directed by Albert Kai-kwong Mak, the film stars Louis Koo, Gigi Leung, Louise Wong, Chrissie Chau, Tony Wu, and German Cheung, making it one of the most star-studded Hong Kong productions of 2025.

As a spiritual successor to Mak’s Rob N Roll (2024), this new film dives deep into themes of redemption, rivalry, and resilience—all while delivering knockout action sequences and laugh-out-loud comedy.

📖 The Story – When Life Becomes a Boxing Match

The film follows Carrie Mok (Gigi Leung), a washed-up actress whose life takes a chaotic turn after her niece Elsa (Louise Wong) challenges Surewin (Chrissie Chau), a fiery Muay Thai champion, to a boxing match. What begins as a viral scandal spirals into a journey of training, discipline, and personal discovery.

Guiding them through the chaos is Bruce Chung (Louis Koo), Carrie’s husband and a once-glorious Muay Thai master. Together, they navigate the tangled world of broken dreams, viral fame, and the brutal beauty of combat sports.

💥 From viral videos that spark unexpected opportunities to emotional rivalries inside the ring, Hit N Fun turns the boxing arena into a stage for reconciliation, second chances, and family honor.
