Painted Faces (pinyin: Qī xiǎo fú, Cantonese: Cat1 siu2 fuk1), is a Hong Kong film directed by Alex Law. The movie was first released in 1988. The language spoken in this film is Cantonese. The film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 62nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1]

The Chinese title refers to the Seven Little Fortunes - Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and his fellow opera-mates, who later made it big in the Hong Kong film industry. The film focuses on Master Yu Ho, their teacher, and his methods on bringing up his protégés.
