BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SAMMO HUNG. The kung fu legend takes a rare dramatic role as the tough-but-fair master Yu, a teacher training young kids for a life on the stage. But times are changing; the theatres are closing and Yu must find new opportunities for his charges, even if it means letting them work in movies…
Based on the real-life childhoods of Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and, yes, Sammo himself (he’s playing his own, real-life master) Painted Faces is a nostalgic tribute to a man who turned children into superstars. 88 Films are thrilled to present the blu-ray release of this long-unavailable classic of Hong Kong cinema.
