      Audience Member Pantyhose Hero deserves so much more attention! This dark comedy starring the phenomenal Sammo Hung and hilarious Alan Tam as two cops, undercover as gay men to catch a killer, is packed with a severe mix of killer fights, crazy stunts, daft comedy and serious drama. As a fan of HK cinema for over 30 years, this to me is quite normal. But if you are new to the genre, then be warned. That said, it is one of Sammo's best and should have hit the UK on DVD a long time ago! The fight scenes are just brutal, with the speed and power we all expect from a Sammo Hung film. Alan Tam is just hilarious and holds his own in the action department, with the end fight scene worth the price of the film alone!! One of the best from Hong Kong's golden age, and should be seen by all fans... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review dave j Wednesday, March 7, 2012 (1990) Pantyhose Hero (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ COMEDY Directed and starred Sammo Hung Kam Bo which the comedy falls flat but the action sequences are top notch and are well choreographed who was still in his prime! Movie centers on a serial killer who's also known as the 'pantyhose killer' hence the title which is nothing but an excuse to showcase Sammo's fast and furious martial art skills! Dismissal storyline and comedy routines but the action sequences gets 4 out of 4 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Before there was "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" (2007), there was "Pantyhose Hero" (1990). Two cops pretend to be gay in order to catch a killer of homosexuals. They get into lots of trouble when going to gay bars to get clues, especially with a lot of mixed signals. Throw in a love interest and some gangsters and you have very funny moments and hijinks. And then there's the action. Sammo Hung is unrivaled when it comes to weapons fighting. His usage of a long metal bar versus some gangsters is nothing short of amazing, and then he fights not one, but two main boss villains. You'll never walk away from a HK martial arts movie without satiating your martial arts fighting fix. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
