* Hung is one of the celebrities honoured on the [[Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong]].
* Hung is known for his large frame. Despite this, he is a surprisingly agile and formidable [[martial artist]].
* He has a circular scar on the right side of his face, just above his lip. In the early days of his film career, Hung was involved in a street fight outside a [[Kowloon]] nightclub, and was stabbed with a broken cola bottle.
* On 5 August 2009, Hung became ill during the filming of ''[[Ip Man 2]]'' in the [[Guangdong]] province of [[Foshan]]. He was admitted to hospital and underwent a heart surgery operation. He was discharged and returned to work within days. He cited a combination of his weight, his love of cigars and long filming hours resulting in fatigue and irregular meals as the cause.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/entertainment/view/448804/1/.html|title=Entertainment News: HK actor Sammo Hung hospitalised for heart surgery|date=August 14, 2009|work=News story|publisher=Channel News Asia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130222085250/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/entertainment/view/448804/1/.html|archive-date=February 22, 2013|url-status=dead|access-date=2009-08-26}}</ref>
