Zhi fen shuang xiong

A politically incorrect action comedy from Hong Kong. Sammo directs and stars, with Alan Tam supporting him; for ridiculous reasons they're cops who have to go undercover as a gay couple in order to track down a serial killer targeting homosexuals. CRUISING this isn't! It's a cheesy caper full of gay stereotypes and outrageous behaviour. Star cameos add to the fun value, and there are numerous fight scenes which aren't among Sammo's best, but nonetheless add energy to the production, particularly at the climax.

(1990) Pantyhose Hero (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ COMEDY

Stunts choreographed, produced, directed and starred Sammo Hung Kam Bo as he plays undercover policeman, Lau along with his partner, (Alan Tam) which the comedy falls flat, but the action sequences are top notch and are well choreographed who he was still in his prime! Movie centers on a serial killer who's also known as the 'pantyhose killer' (Tom Poon) hence the title which is nothing but an excuse to showcase Sammo's fast and furious martial art skills! Dismissal story line and comedy routines but the action sequences gets.

This is a fun action gung fu movie where Sammo plays a detective investigating the murder of homosexual men. In order to apprehend the killer, Sammo and his partner has to dress up in gay fashion, act gay and pretend to be a gay couple. Sammo's character is homophobic, therefore he has a difficult time coping with the people he meets at the gay bar. But he knows in order to get clues for the murder case, he has to change teams. Sammo is also a great athlete, believe it or not, he does his own stunts and fighting scenes. Great martial arts and hilarious scenes! Enjoy! 8/10!.

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...

This Sammo Hung action-comedy is often cited as his most politically incorrect film, along with the more recent flick 'Don't Give a Damn'. This is a fair assessment, although this minor classic of Hong Kong cinema should not be dismissed for this reason.

The story involves the search for a serial killer of gay men; crude and often amusing jokes come thick and fast as Hung and cop partner Alan Tam go undercover as homosexuals. Thankfully, the movie never truly degenerates into homophobia, and remains fairly agreeable throughout.

The fight scenes, as choreographed by Sammo himself, are mostly on the short side but masterfully performed and extremely powerful. However, the violence in the film is graphic and occasionally shocking- so be warned.

Overall, if you can stomach the heady mix of controversial comedy and hard-hitting action, you'll have a rollicking time.
