Hit N Fun

Carrie, a washed-up actress, receives an advertisement referral from her manager, Bridget, to Bridget's niece, Elsa. However, when Carrie discovers the advertisement is for a menopause supplement, she refuses to participate, leading to a heated argument with Elsa. After their fallout, Bridget finds a parcel left behind by Elsa, containing a framed photograph of her ex-boyfriend, Daniel, and Surewin, a Macau boxing champion and former apprentice of Carrie's husband, Bruce. Despite Daniel's insistence that Elsa break up with him, she has been clinging to their relationship. Carrie and Bridget deduce that Elsa intends to confront Surewin, prompting them to rush to his home to intervene. However, Elsa has already found Surewin, and a fight breaks out. When Carrie and Bridget arrive, a crowd is already attracted and videos of the brawl go viral, damaging Surewin's reputation. As a result, Arnold, another former apprentice of Bruce's who runs a for-profit boxing gym with Surewin, temporarily suspends her.

Ironically, the viral video brings Carrie back into the public eye, leading a film producer to offer her the female lead in an upcoming action film. Meanwhile, Elsa, upset about Daniel choosing Surewin, challenges him to a boxing match to prove her worth. Both Carrie and Elsa seek Bruce's training in boxing to prepare for their respective challenges. Initially, Bruce tries to scare Elsa off by quoting an exorbitant training fee, but she unexpectedly accepts. Reluctantly, he assigns his only remaining apprentice, Stallone, to train her. Bruce doubts Elsa will last a week, but she endures his grueling sessions, changing his perception of her. Stallone, meanwhile, discusses the upcoming match with Arnold and Surewin, who agrees to host it if they can sell tickets and livestream the event. Surewin declares that if Elsa can withstand three rounds, she will win.

As both Elsa and Carrie progress in their training, Carrie is informed by the producer that she has been replaced by a younger actress, forcing her to halt her boxing training. During a jog at the waterfront, Elsa encounters Surewin, who encourages her to let go of her tough persona. She reaches out to Daniel and finally accepts his request to break up. After reflecting on her situation, Elsa talks to Stallone, who shares his own struggles with a long losing streak, inspiring her to persist in boxing. Stallone's 38th match ends in another defeat and serious injury. Arnold visits him in the hospital, coincidentally meeting Bruce there. Their conversation escalates into an argument about their differing philosophies on running a boxing gym. It is revealed that Bruce did not fight Arnold, declaring his own defeat to protect Stallone's reputation. Arnold challenges Bruce again, who accepts.

The matches between Bruce and Arnold, and Elsa and Surewin, are scheduled simultaneously. In their bout, Surewin initially dominates, but Elsa manages to knock her down in the second round, prompting a furious counterattack. Despite her injuries, Elsa endures Surewin's punches in the third round, earning her respect and allowing her to claim victory. Meanwhile, Bruce decisively outmatches Arnold. As he prepares to deliver his final punch, he intentionally avoids hitting Arnold and instead punches a punchbag behind him, causing it to break and sand to pour out. Arnold instinctively rushes to protect the punchbag, which holds sentimental value as the first piece of equipment in the gym. Witnessing Arnold's attachment to their shared memories, Bruce and Arnold reconcile. At last, Arnold and Surewin help run Bruce's gym, with Elsa joining in efforts to expand the business, as they discuss future plans over dinner.

After the critical success of Rob N Roll (2024), director {{ill|Albert Mak|zh| 麥啟光}} and screenwriter Link Ling began developing the screenplay for their next feature film, with Louis Koo involved from the early stages.{{Cite web |url=https://theculturist.hk/2025/01/%e5%b1%95%e8%a8%8a/%e5%9c%b0%e5%8d%80/%e9%a6%99%e6%b8%af/%e3%80%90%e5%b0%88%e8%a8%aa%e3%80%91%e9%ba%a5%e5%95%9f%e5%85%89%e8%b3%80%e6%ad%b2%e6%8e%a8%e3%80%8a%e8%87%a8%e6%99%82%e6%b1%ba%e9%ac%a5%e3%80%8b%e9%9a%bb%e6%8f%aa%e9%9b%bb%e5%bd%b1%e5%af%92%e5%86%ac/ |title=【專訪】麥啟光賀歲推《臨時決鬥》隻揪電影寒冬 編劇凌浩然：輸才是真正的贏 |date=30 January 2025 |website=The Culturist |author=鄭天儀 |access-date=9 February 2025 |language=zh}} Mak initially intended the film to be a regular drama rather than a Chinese New Year film.{{Cite web |url=https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/entertainment/20240922/bkn-20240922030100014-0922_00862_001.html |title=東方日報C2：呂爵安新作延拍 張繼聰轉戰馬國 |date=22 September 2024 |website=Oriental Daily News |access-date=11 February 2025 |language=zh}} But as no New Year films were announced to be in production during the summer of 2024, when films of this genre are typically revealed, Mak was approached in July to produce one, prompting him to pivot the project accordingly. Despite this change, Mak emphasized to investors that the film is not a traditional Chinese New Year film but rather a film being released during the New Year period only.{{Cite web |url=https://www.hk01.com/%E9%9B%BB%E5%BD%B1/1099048/%E8%87%A8%E6%99%82%E6%B1%BA%E9%AC%A5-%E9%BA%A5%E5%95%9F%E5%85%89%E7%B6%93%E6%AD%B7%E6%9D%9C%E7%90%AA%E5%B3%AF%E7%9A%84%E5%8D%B3%E8%88%88-%E5%87%8C%E6%99%A82%E9%BB%9Ecall%E4%BA%BA%E8%81%BD%E6%9C%9D%E9%96%8B%E6%97%A9 |title=臨時決鬥｜麥啟光經歷杜琪峯的即興 「凌晨2點Call人聽朝開早」 |date=1 February 2025 |website=HK01 |author=許育民 |access-date=11 February 2025 |language=zh}} He and Ling began rewriting the screenplay in late August. In September, Mak announced that he was set to direct a film under the working title Middle-aged Ladies Home ({{zh|t=中女舍}}), co-produced by One Cool Film Production and {{ill|Entertaining Power|zh|無限動力}}. However, the production budget had not yet been fully secured, and they missed the deadline to apply for the Hong Kong Film Development Fund, which forced them to seek alternative filming locations, with Mak eyeing Macau.

Pre-production began that same month. In early October, during a meet-and-greet event for Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024), Louis Koo teased that, in addition to a prequel film, the ensemble cast of Walled In was involved in another upcoming project.{{Cite web |url=https://ol.mingpao.com/ldy/showbiz/latest/20241006/1728226366585/%E4%B9%9D%E9%BE%8D%E5%9F%8E%E5%AF%A8%E4%B9%8B%E5%9C%8D%E5%9F%8E-%E8%B3%80%E6%8F%90%E5%90%8D%E5%A5%A7%E6%96%AF%E5%8D%A1%E8%AC%9D%E7%A5%A8-%E5%8F%A4%E5%A4%A9%E6%A8%82%E9%A0%90%E5%91%8A%E5%8E%9F%E7%8F%AD%E4%BA%BA%E9%A6%AC%E6%9C%89%E6%96%B0%E6%90%9E%E4%BD%9C |title=九龍城寨之圍城｜賀提名奧斯卡謝票 古天樂預告原班人馬有新搞作 |date=6 October 2024 |website=Ming Pao |access-date=11 February 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=11 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241111151945/https://ol.mingpao.com/ldy/showbiz/latest/20241006/1728226366585/%E4%B9%9D%E9%BE%8D%E5%9F%8E%E5%AF%A8%E4%B9%8B%E5%9C%8D%E5%9F%8E-%E8%B3%80%E6%8F%90%E5%90%8D%E5%A5%A7%E6%96%AF%E5%8D%A1%E8%AC%9D%E7%A5%A8-%E5%8F%A4%E5%A4%A9%E6%A8%82%E9%A0%90%E5%91%8A%E5%8E%9F%E7%8F%AD%E4%BA%BA%E9%A6%AC%E6%9C%89%E6%96%B0%E6%90%9E%E4%BD%9C |url-status=live }} Later that month, Koo announced that this project would be Albert Mak's Chinese New Year film, though the story is entirely unrelated to the Kowloon Walled City.{{Cite web |url=https://www.stheadline.com/film-drama/3391786/%E5%8F%A4%E5%A4%A9%E6%A8%82%E9%96%8B%E6%8B%8D%E6%B8%AF%E7%94%A2%E8%B3%80%E6%AD%B2%E7%89%87%E6%95%91%E5%B8%82-%E5%AD%96%E5%9F%8E%E5%AF%A8%E5%9B%9B%E5%AD%90%E6%A2%81%E8%A9%A0%E7%90%AA%E5%91%A8%E7%A7%80%E5%A8%9C%E8%B6%95%E5%B7%A5%E4%B8%A8%E7%8D%A8%E5%AE%B6 |title=古天樂開拍港產賀歲片救市 孖「城寨四子」梁詠琪周秀娜趕工丨獨家 |date=14 October 2024 |website=Sing Tao Daily |access-date=11 February 2025 |language=zh}} Lead actors from Walled In, including Koo, Raymond Lam, Philip Ng, Tony Wu, and {{ill|German Cheung|zh|張文傑}}, returned to star, while Louise Wong, Gigi Leung, Chrissie Chau, and Peter Chan joined the cast.

Edmund Lee of the South China Morning Post gave Hit N Fun 3.5/5 stars, describing it as an "unusually warm-hearted boxing drama" that blends "slapstick humor" with a "largely somber tale", prompting characters to reflect on their life goals, reminiscent of Johnnie To's Throw Down (2004), and functioning as "a parable of Hong Kong" amid contemporary social and economic upheaval.{{Cite web |url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3296619/hit-n-fun-movie-review-rob-n-roll-director-returns-warm-hearted-boxing-drama |title=Hit N Fun movie review: Rob N Roll director returns with warm-hearted boxing drama |date=28 January 2025 |website=South China Morning Post |last=Lee |first=Edmund |access-date=2 February 2025 |archive-date=2 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250202065544/https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3296619/hit-n-fun-movie-review-rob-n-roll-director-returns-warm-hearted-boxing-drama |url-status=live }} Sek Kei gave the film 3/5 stars in his review for Ming Pao, noting that although the plot appears "hastily assembled", the engaging direction and strong performances from the ensemble cast make it enjoyable.{{Cite web |url=https://news.mingpao.com/pns/%e5%89%af%e5%88%8a/article/20250202/s00005/1738425796191/%e5%bd%b1%e7%89%87%e7%9f%ad%e8%a9%95 |title=【明報專訊】《臨時決鬥》 IIB |date=2 February 2025 |website=Ming Pao |access-date=2 February 2025 |language=zh |archive-date=3 February 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250203051032/https://news.mingpao.com/pns/%e5%89%af%e5%88%8a/article/20250202/s00005/1738425796191/%e5%bd%b1%e7%89%87%e7%9f%ad%e8%a9%95 |url-status=live }} Keith Ho, writing for HK01, remarked that while the film lacks the creativity and humor of its predecessor Rob N Roll (2024), it effectively utilizes its ensemble cast, especially the strong performances of the three female leads, and incorporates elements from Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024) to capitalize on the upsurge, resulting in an appealing and successful commercial film.{{Cite web |url=https://www.hk01.com/%E8%97%9D%E6%96%87/1098393/%E8%87%A8%E6%99%82%E6%B1%BA%E9%AC%A5-%E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%AD%E5%A5%B3%E6%89%93%E6%8B%B3%E7%82%BA%E9%A1%8C-%E4%B9%9D%E9%BE%8D%E5%9F%8E%E5%AF%A8%E7%8F%AD%E5%BA%95%E5%86%8D%E6%B1%BA%E9%AB%98%E4%B8%8B-%E4%BD%95%E6%95%85%E5%B0%88%E6%AC%84 |title=《臨時決鬥》以中女打拳為題 九龍城寨班底再決高下｜何故專欄 |date=30 January 2025 |website=HK01 |last=Ho |first=Keith |access-date=2 February 2025 |language=zh}}
