Pang attracted great interest in Hong Kong newspapers for his performance in Amphetamine, in which he co-starred with Thomas Price. Pang appeared on top of a Hong Kong building in front of press photographers for an early morning filming session. After removing all his clothing and underwear, Pang was fitted with a pair of large feathered 'wings', and his naked body was completely covered in a mixture of calligraphy and silver paint,^[1][2] and filmed for the opening scene and title sequence of the movie.^[3] The shower scene between Pang and Thomas Price broke new ground in Hong Kong cinema in showing prolonged full-frontal nudity.^[4]
