Essentially the origin story of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao!

Introducing 88 Films' Limited Edition Blu-ray (Region B) for Painted Faces, a 1988 Hong Kong classic from director Alex Law Kai-Yui (Now You See Love... Now You Don't).

Painted Faces tells the story about the Peking Opera School that Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao attended as young men. Specifically, their relationship to their teacher, Master Yu Jim-Yuen (who would later star in 1979's The Old Master).

The kung fu legend takes a rare dramatic role as the tough-but-fair master Yu (Hung), 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.

The film also stars Cheng Pei-Pei (Golden Swallow), Lam Ching-Ying (When Taekwondo Strikes), John Shum (Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars) and Wu Ma (Circus Kids).

IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B discs. If you're looking for a reliable all-region player, we've got you covered!
