The Beast Stalker

A traffic accident changed their lives forever.

In capturing wanted criminal Cheung Yat-tung, Sergeant Tong Fei was involved in a gunfight and car accident that put the criminal in a coma.  But in the process he also crippled an fellow officer, and mistakenly shot dead the elder daughter of public prosecutor and single mother Ann Ko.  Unable to handle the guilt, Tong Fei succumbs to a fog of pain.  Ann Ko, meanwhile, pours all her love and attention to her younger daughter Ling.

Three months later, the criminal Cheung Yat-tung awakens from his coma.  Ann Ko, who had been working hard on bringing him to justice, insists he stand trial immediately. 

Professional killer Hung King completes his assignment of kidnapping Ann Ko’s daughter Ling.  Tong Fei attempts to cut him off, but fails to stop Hung King or to rescue the girl.

Soon, Ann Ko gets a phone call, telling her that if she wants to see Ling again, she will drop all charges against Cheung Yat-tung. And if she goes to the police, they will kill Ling.

Tong Fei swears that he will rescue Ling, seeking to redeem himself from his past mistake.  With assistance from a former colleague fondly known as Master Sun, Tong Fei gradually comes closer to locating Hung King’s hideout, but the most important clue is the information in Ann Ko’s cell phone.  However, Ann Ko hates him so much that she refuses to let him have anything to do with the case.  Tong Fei has no choice but to beg for help from former co-workers with whom he did not get along.

Ann Ko is backed into a corner, but she is determined to refuse help from Tong Fei.  In a misguided attempt to save Ling’s life, Ann Ko steals the case files.

Meanwhile, Tong Fei and Master Sun capture Hung King, but only to have him escape again.  Tong Fei decides the best tactic is to kick up a fuss.  The criminals think Ann Ko had gone to the police, and warn her that they will hurt Ling.  Ann Ko finds out what Tong Fei had done, and desperately tries to stop him from further investigation.  Tong Fei shows her important evidence proving Ling is being held nearby, and if they give up now, Ling may not survive the night.

Hung King finds out that Tong Fei, Master Sun and Ann Ko are fast approaching his hideout.  In desperation, he flees with Ling, leaving behind his paralyzed wife Li in her sick-bed. Tong Fei, Master Sun and Ann Ko find Li and contact Hung King to negotiate a hostage exchange.  However, Hung King refuses, and tries to kidnap Li from Tong Fei.

Tong Fei discovers a small clue, tracks down Hung King and rescues Ling.  As soon as she hears Ling is safe, Ann Ko brings the evidence to court to ensure Cheung Yat-tung is brought to justice.

But Hung King refuses to give up.  He fights and defeats Tong Fei.  Ling flees on her own, but gets into an accident and is buried alive in an avalanche of mud and sand.  By the time Tong Fei arrives to rescue her, she is at death’s door….

In order to teach Wushu in Hong Kong, Ip Man has to accept challenges from masters of different Wushu sect. Ip Man accepts and defeats all masters except Master Hung whose skills are on par with Ip Man. Thus Ip Man gains the respect of Master Hung.

Master Hung gives Ip Man a ticket to watch “King of Boxing Competition” featuring a cold-blooded boxer, Twister who eventually wins the title. Cheng and a few others then perform a wushu sequence as entertainment. Twister thinks that it is a joke and beats up the performers on stage. This act angers Ip Man the other wushu masters present, resulting in a fight between Twister and them.

Master Hung tries to help but is pulled back by his friends working for the westerners. Finally, Master Hung cannot contain his anger and confronts Twister while Ip Man checks on the injured Wong. Twister refuses to apologise for the chaos he has caused unless Master Hung beats him. Master Hung despite his old age manages to put up a good fight but is eventually killed by Twister.

Ip Man joins the competition and swears to claim back the dignity of Chinese wushu and Chinese people.

Ip Man puts up a good fight, showing his indomitable spirit. The westerners touched by his spirit, start to cheer for Ip Man. At last Ip Man uses Master Hung’s famous move to beat Twister, claiming back the lost dignity for the Chinese.

Wing Chun then becomes more popular in Hong Kong. In 1956, Wong brings a young man to become Ip Man’s student. This student named Bruce Lee later becomes the famous action movie star of his era.
