 Many years later, in 1988, Hung starred in Alex Law's "Painted Faces", a dramatic re-telling of his experiences at the "China Drama Academy".Among the exercises featured in the film are numerous acrobatic backflips, and hours of handstands performed against a wall.Despite some of the more brutal exercises and physical punishments shown in "Painted Faces", Hung and the rest of the Seven Little Fortunes consider the film a toned-down version of their actual experiences.
