Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
So engaging and illuminating that it is enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with one of cinema's most dynamic forms.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
An often intriguing documentary, albeit one with wires attached.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
A loving tribute to Hong Kong stuntmen by one of their own, the directorial debut of stuntman-turned-actor Robin Shou ("Mortal Kombat") is a wince-inducing behind-the-scenes look at the way contemporary Hong Kong action cinema is created.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Fills 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.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Tasha Robinson
Shou focuses on a meaty subject, and he has an insider's access to the world he's exploring. But his behind-the-scenes film doesn't spend nearly enough time behind the scenes.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Ellen Fox
As its awkward subtitle suggests, the execution is more than a little sloppy.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Ted Shen
Robin Shou frequently cuts to scenes from one of his recent movies, adding to the impression that this is a vanity reel.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer
Offers a lively but jumbled insider's view of a world of great talent and greater risk.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly John Powers
Brave, gifted, haunted and poor, these kids are so heartbreaking that you wish Shou had the good sense to give their lives the attention he lavishes on himself.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
All of this has a fascination, and yet Red Trousers is a jumbled and unsatisfying documentary.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Mark Jenkins
For a quicker and more startling survey of Hong Kong stunts gone wrong, just check out the blooper clips that conclude any '80s Chan flick.

Robert W. gave it a 10:
Actor Robin Shou was great and this type of documentary was first of its kind. It was a behind-the-scenes historical look at Hong Kong Stunt men. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.
