THE TUXEDO
It’s just pants
TVNZ 2, 7.00pm
In his high-kicking heyday, martial arts guy Jackie Chan offered his own special effects but in this spy parody he’s weighed down by them, playing an ordinary cabbie who gets a high-tech tuxedo which gives its wearer special, 007-like abilities.

Whakaata Māori, 7.00pm
