Weeds on Fire (Cantonese) – 點五步
Description: 點五步 – Weeds on Fire
1984 is a year where many changes take place, such as the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration as well as the opening of New Town Plaza and the first dragon boat race on Shing Mun River.
Tse Chi-lung “Lung” (Lam Yiu-sing), a resident of Wo Che Estate, and his neighbour and long-time friend Fan Chun-wai “Wai” (Tony Wu) enter Kei Kok College, a lowest-tier secondary school whose students’ discipline is notorious in Sha Tin District. Kei Kok’s principal, Lu Kwong-fai (Liu Kai-chi), receives fundings from the District Board with the support of District Officer Mr Tsang (Poon Chan-leung) to establish the territory’s first Chinese teenage baseball team, which he believes can turn bad students good. Acting also as the coach, Lu recruits Lung, Wai and eight of their fellow schoolmates, who all live under uneasy conditions, to the baseball team named the Shatin Martins. He enforces strict discipline so as to remind the members to work and behave as a team, especially after their first humiliating defeat to a junior team.
Lung often looks up to Wai, who is smarter and physically stronger than him. Wai has started a romantic relationship with his schoolmate Tsz-ching (Hedwig Tam) whereas Lung does not even dare to speak to Ling (Sadie Wang) whom he has a crush on. After Wai is chosen as the pitcher of the Shatin Martins, he takes pride in himself and belittles his teammates. In the first match of the Little League, Wai starts a fight with the rival team, prompting Lu to publicly replace him with Lung. Feeling betrayed by his friend, an ashamed, Wai withdraws from baseball and school, rejoins gang activities and abandons his now-pregnant girlfriend. Lung is at first angry with Lu for alienating Wai, but later reconciles with him. With the departure of the most outstanding member, the Shatin Martins work closer and train harder together, finally winning the tickets to the final of the league.
Right before the final match, Lung experiences several shocks in his life. First, his family is torn apart by his mother’s extramarital affairs. Second, although he has summoned the courage to speak to Ling, she has a boyfriend already. Third, he finds out Wai is involved in illegal acts in order to attempt to provide subsidy for Tsz-ching’s abortion since she is now on her own after splitting with her family. But she refuses to give up her baby. Lu reminds him to stay focused as the half-a-step he takes at the pitcher’s mound will decide the fate of the team.
At the final, the Shatin Martins have a hard match against the Japan-based Buffaloes, being far behind in four innings. Wai cannot keep his promise to show up to support them, as he is performing a dangerous mission. Worried about Wai, Lung fails to concentrate on playing and is hit in the face by the ball struck by the batter. As he falls onto the ground, he realises he must stand up by himself to prove himself capable to Wai. The Shatin Martins manages to come up from behind and eventually wins by 13-12, becoming the first Hong Kong team to win the championship.
Although Wai is seriously injured, he survives and is taken care of at hospital. Lung learns how to adapt to changes, looking to his father and Tsz-ching as examples. Lu remains unmarried and dedicates himself to education and baseball. In recognition of the historic title, the government names a bridge over Shing Mun River after the team.
On the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Shatin Martins, Lung visits the Admiralty Occupy Site during the Umbrella Movement and recalls the spirit of not giving up hopes despite of failures.

EASTERN HERO – 龍影俠
EASTERN HERO – 龍影俠 – Episode 01 THIEF OF HONOUR – 血璽金刀 Description: 龍影俠 – EASTERN HERO 成青風幼年父母雙亡，跟隨兄長成朗日過活，一次目睹朗日為避仇家，寧捨妻兒性命不顧，十分震驚，幸及時救回姪兒家寶。青風從此與兄長失去聯絡，後在一落鄉班謀生，見班主傳丙善良可靠，便將家寶暗中交託撫養，自己則獨自流落江湖。 十八年後，青風輾轉學得一身絕技，平時以戇直跌打醫師姿態出現，實則是傳說中警惡懲的龍影俠。師傅死後，師兄宗心一直跟隨照顧。一次，為了重訪傳丙與家寶，青風來到一個叫「國庫城」的地方，路上聞得該城有一土皇帝尤萬金恃勢凌人，遂更加強青風訪「國庫城」之決心。 由於傳丙一妻兩妾也膝下猶虛，遂視家寶如己出，極為溺愛，養成其佻皮頑劣之性格。家寶不知傳丙是養父，視其為親父。青風不欲家寶知有卑鄙父親，遂隱藏親叔父身份，做盡一切搏取傳丙之信任，成為家寶之監護人，導其向善。然家寶不喜管束，終日欲擺脫青風，求崇拜已久之龍影俠對付青風，青風只落得徒勞無功。 土皇帝尤萬金惡行頻頻，龍影俠亦屢次現身拯救市民，引起城中廣泛談論。留洋歸來之新聞系女畢業生童芷君天生好奇，以訪尋龍影俠做訪問為第一要務。初時，芷君因誤會家寶為龍影俠，二人相識。家寶與其小舅父賈偉大常聯手戲弄芷君，鬧出不少笑話，然偉大卻暗暗戀上芷君而不自知。 芷君之父童啟發乃警察廳長，卻是老油條一名，辦案苟且，女兒芷君卻是以申張正義為己務之記者，父女常生齟齬。然而父女情深，往往迅速化解恩怨，傲氣的家寶反而全不把芷君放在眼內，常落其面，二人儼如鬥氣冤家。 另一方面，啟發表面十分規矩，卻不禁暗戀上豆腐西施恩桃，啟發本對其亂拋生藕極為反感，常公然罵之。卻終難拒愛情魔力，展開了第二春。 萬金之女尤若仙天生脆骨，青風遂在機緣巧合下數度替其診症，二人邂逅互相戀慕，但青風與敵人之女相戀感為難，故對若仙裝傻扮懵，若仙甚感失落。 與此同時，青風查出市政府礦物資料失竊與萬金之手下有關，遂展開調查。同時朗日以工程師兼慈善家身份出現。與全城上下打通關係，甚得人心。青風對其偽善面目甚保留，避之卻終被朗日試出身份，兄弟關係公開。朗日向青風打探其子下落，青風有感家寶與養父傳丙父子情深，偽稱其子己死，然朗日心下存疑，派出手下追查其子下落。 其實朗日來「國庫城」乃為開採尤萬金所擁有的土地下所藏的白金，以私運往日本造火藥，故對萬金百般攏絡，萬金受騙遂讓其築鐵路，朗日乃得以順利掘地，開採白金。另一方面，朗日對若仙亦一見鍾情，展開強烈的追求攻勢。萬金見財心起，努力撮合，但若仙鍾情青風，並設局試青風，青風終向若仙表態，二人相戀。 芷君終探出青風便是龍影俠，對青風傾心不已，變得溫柔體貼，卻不知青風只疼之如親妹。家寶看在眼中，只覺好笑，亦知青風與若仙相戀，遂多方提示芷君。芷君本以為家寶搗蛋，後才明白其用心良苦，感激不已。 朗日得知青風與若仙相戀，故作大方讓愛，以贏取人心。青風果受感動，又見家寶甚崇拜朗日，父子二人有不自覺的血緣流露，青風險些透露家寶身世之際，傳丙卻因發現朗日掘金証據而被滅口。青風追查之下，赫然發現數度與自己交手之黑衣人正是朗日，二人激戰之下，朗日不敵墮崖失蹤。 家寶喪父，痛定思痛，決拜龍影俠為師，青風知其真心。家寶得知青風身份，二人發展成亦師亦友關係。家寶與芷君，感情也有增無減。無奈偉大卻不察，欲求家寶教其追女之法，家寶始知兩舅甥愛上同一人，甚感為難，芷君亦不忍傷偉大的心，後偉大窺見端倪黯然抽身。 朗日失踪後，萬金見錢開眼，接手掘白金，青風得悉，若仙頓成磨心。萬金為馴服青風，打算招其為婿，青風礙於龍影俠之身份危險，不宜成家，拒絕。若仙不解，青風向若仙表露自己是龍影俠，終釋疑，卻更感左右為難。 城中忽然出現假的龍影俠，大大破壞了真龍影俠之名聲。眾正感大惑不解之際，朗日再以工程師身份出現。眾人未防範，只有青風靜觀其變。 其實朗日赴日療傷之餘，已練得更高深之日本忍術，回來向龍影俠報仇之外，更與日本有新陰謀，欲借日本強大軍力支持一舉侵華，當其傀儡皇帝。朗日想出計策，慾將萬金一家殺死，嫁禍予龍影俠。 若仙誤會青風殺其父，二人反目，遂使朗日對青風起疑，利用家寶與芷君設局引龍影俠出現。龍影俠為顧全二人性命，身份敗露。 朗日知青風乃龍影俠，可謂雙重仇怨在一身，決乘虛而入，欲搶回若仙的人及心。並設下陷阱引青風，青風為保護若仙，被朗日毒辣絕招所傷，陷於昏迷，若仙遂與青風匿藏在恩桃家療傷。 家寶知師父乃朗日所傷，卻無力報仇，極不忿。青風久醫無效，陷死亡邊緣。若仙誓死守在其身邊，家寶忍無可忍，決攬炸彈與朗日同歸於盡。危急關頭，青風甦醒，告知芷君，家寶與朗日的父子關係。芷君趕赴現場告訴二人止息災禍，二人震驚。家寶誓死不肯認朗日為父。 朗日佈下親情迷陣引誘家寶，家寶本不為所動，後見若仙等千方百計救青風不果，遂借意親近朗日以尋找解藥。朗日輕易洞悉家寶來意，大方送上解藥，收買其心，因朗日知青風即使醒過來也是廢人一個。 青風吃解藥後果有起色，家寶遂天真地認為朗日尚有人性，欲留在其身邊感化之，卻無意發現朗日侵華陰謀而震驚失望。反覆思量下，家寶不惜做盡壞事，與青風反目。朗日橫手奪市長之職。家人不知就裡，皆誤會家寶見利忘義。 芷君孤注一擲，以與偉大成婚作脅，要家寶回頭。家寶身不由己，任得二人成婚，芷君心死，偉大心知芷君最愛是家寶，但仍然願做這場戲，令芷君感動。 其實家寶已掌握了日軍大舉進城之途徑，準備破壞之，使朗日與日本決裂。 與此同時，青風痛心家寶變壞，決行險著以阻之，吃下毒藥務求以毒攻毒，但求短時間可恢復功力而不顧後果。 青風與家寶在日軍入城之橋頭相遇，青風終諒解家寶用心，合力炸死日軍。日方震怒，要朗日負責任。朗日終被家寶感化，跟日軍反面，日軍女指揮官以朗日體內的炸彈威脅。最後青風、家寶、朗日、女指揮官大戰。朗日跟女指揮官同歸於盡。
