A short action film interwoven into a documentary tells the story of the legendary unsung heroes of Hong Kong film, the stuntmen and women. This film features the world's most illustrious stuntmen, and many current working stuntmen, profiled through interviews and clips that showcase their work. It explores their death-defying feats and foolhardy working methods and traces their origin back to the original Hong Kong stuntmen known as "red trousers" - a term used to describe acrobats in Peking Opera. By incorporating the martial arts, fantasy, adventure short action film, "Lost Time," the viewer is given an actual account of how stunts are created and executed on film.
Leave your thoughts about Red Trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen.
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristPromises a glimpse into a world that few have yet been able to explore, but fails to deliver on much more than the basest levels of entertainment. |
| OregonianNestor RamosThere's plenty of material for a great movie in the lives and work of the stuntmen and women in Hong Kong's thriving action film industry. Unfortunately, this isn't that movie. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisFills you with a healthy respect for the men and women gladly risking their lives for your entertainment. The film itself works best with its into-the-camera reminiscences and on-the-set mishaps. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellRed Trousers pays tribute to one country's stuntmen. At the same time it's a personal tribute as Shou uses the film as a platform to showcase his own work. |

| Washington PostMark JenkinsFor a quicker and more startling survey of Hong Kong stunts gone wrong, just check out the blooper clips that conclude any '80s Chan flick. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenAn often intriguing documentary, albeit one with wires attached. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerOffers a lively but jumbled insider's view of a world of great talent and greater risk. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSo engaging and illuminating that it is enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with one of cinema's most dynamic forms. |
| User Reviewpiano pthis is the cool one for HK stunt films^^ |
