Painted Faces (1988) - Ep 34

Summer break is over, and kids are going back to school. On this week's episode of The Searchers, we review Painted Faces which is about children going to a very different and difficult school in Hong Kong during the 1960s to train for Peking Opera. Those children included Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. After covering Jackie Chan on episode 2 of the podcast, we're excited to finally be making our way back to Hong Kong cinema with this one. The first couple minutes is an interview clip of Sammo Hung talking about how he ended up at a Peking Opera school. Submit your mailbags to us at [email protected].
