- Synopsis
- “So long as the bell hasn’t rung, I won’t admit defeat!” is the motto of Macau's former Muay Thai champion, Bruce CHUNG (Louis KOO), when it comes to running his strug-gling boxing gym “Chung Lui Society”. Nowadays, he is broke and the only people sign-ing up are looking to keep fit to find a boyfriend and elderly citizens who are looking for a place to nap. Regardless of this, Bruce remains committed to his principle of never back-ing down.
  Elsa LAM (Louise WONG) is a feared tyrant in the office who clashes with retired ac-tress Carrie MOK (Gigi LEUNG) at an advertisement shoot, when Carrie realises she is being used as the face of menopause! She storms off the set, and Elsa is left to discover that her boyfriend Daniel WU (CHAN Charm Man Peter) has been cheating on her with Macau’s female champion, Surewin (Chrissie CHAU). In a fit of rage, the two end up in a brawl that Carrie and Elsa’s aunt Bridget LAM (YEUNG Sze Man) are dragged into. A competitive Elsa then challenges Surewin to a real fight, in the ring. Realising that Surewin was once Bruce’s top student, Elsa is determined to train at Chung Lui Society. The four women’s chaotic scrimmage becomes a laughingstock online, and Carrie’s newfound fame gives her an opportunity to make a comeback as an action-film star, forc-ing her to join in on the hellish training led by her husband.
  Bruce is hesitant to teach Elsa but cannot resist her when she waves a fortune in his face, so he pawns the coaching off to his devoted student, Stallone (WU Tsz Tung To-ny), who holds the record for losing 37 matches in a row. Even so, Stallone challenges himself once again, in order to teach Elsa the spirit of fighting. Unfortunately, he is in-jured in the process and Bruce steps up to continue training Elsa, who wants to quit. Nevertheless, he is excited to finally coach a serious candidate and reminds Elsa that she is not doing this for Daniel, but for herself. Inspired by Elsa, Bruce finally agrees to compete with his former protégé, Arnold CHAN (German CHEUNG), many years after their falling out over conflicting boxing philosophies. On the day of the match, everyone steps in the ring for an ultimate showdown…
