If you had any respect for Sammo Hung, you will immediately lose it by watching this one! It’s the most hateful insensitive anti-gay films I can think of recently.
Sammo Hung had a genius idea to tribute William Friedkin's Cruising with Panty
Hose Hero. The title doesn’t make any sense and at no point does an Asian
Captain Underpants emerge to save anyone!
It starts off
with a gay couple who get involved with the triads and trigger a stabbing
through the neck with a Batman knife (this will make another appearance later).
It's followed by a lightning fast high-octane action free for all chainsaw
battle. The fight scenes are very entertaining and seem to pad the storyline, not really interfere with it. Sammo and his partner play two bungling cops,
they are chosen to solve the crime from the beginning, the chief says that a
maniac is killing people in gay dance clubs (sort of like in Cruising) and they have 72 hours to
learn the gay ways and delve into the gay underworld. All the homophobic
propaganda is rampantly present through out this hate fest!
To instruct the
two moronic cops, they send in a ruthless trainer to help them out, she says
there are three categories of gay people and she makes one of them walk with an
apple clenched up his butt.
There's more ridiculously offensive scenarios as if they are
trying to out do Cruising (which people were outraged by when it came out)! The
film made people think that gay people automatically are serial killers or
twisted in someway, but it comes off tolerant compared to Pantyhose!
In
a hotel they try out their new gay act by threatening to bite people to give
them AIDS and running into butter sex fiends in elevators.
Sammo
and his partner Gaykey are seriously homophobic and its pretty unbelievable
that anyone would believe they were anything but narcs at the disco. Fatty and
Gaykey, help out the gay bar by tricking the police into leaving
instead of busting everyone which sort of helps.
The
gay characters all act like an Asian version of Men on Film from In Living Color. Pantyhose Hero is
criminally offensive and homophobic and its very hard to find but not worth
seeking out at all. This is the ugly Archie Bunker side of Sammo Hung that I
was afraid may have existed and now I have confirmation!
There's
some gay bashing as a comedy device, I'm watching it as just an obligation to
check out all the offensive movies in the Deep Red catalog. The anti-gay
rhetoric is the most shocking thing about it!
It
seems after awhile that they aren't looking for a serial killer, but then he
magically appears with champagne and a cake.
Meanwhile
Fatty Jeff is trying to put the moves on a lady until he's interrupted by his
partner, who just escaped a narrow rape. Panty Hose is more like Tootsie then Cruising and its full of wacky misunderstanding hijinks.
The real killer later on shows up in full Batman geek
regalia and gets in a crazy kitchen fight with Sammo. They break all the glass
in the house and throw each other through windows. The triads show up toward
the end and chain up the ‘heroes’ in a giant warehouse. They use produce as a
weapon (durian and lychees) along with uzis. The gangster use the construction
site creatively, during one scene where they shoot someone and he falls down a
tube onto the ground and gets flattened by a steamroller. There’s even wacky
bloopers during the credits! Not worth watching unless you are the type of
hillbilly that thinks you are affecting gay people by eating and supporting
Chic-Fil-A or think The WestBoro Baptist Church has a valid opinion.
