Scott Murray, Australia on the Small Screen 1970-1995, Oxford Uni Press, 1996 pp. 141–142 John Waters stars as John Stamford who is investigating drug counterfeiters. Also featured are Deborra-Lee Furness and Jan-Michael Vincent.
The Age's Jim Schembri called it "passable minor-league intrigue" and says "Plot is one thing. Pace is another, and Singapore Sling has enough of that to keep you from having to think too much about the minutiae of what exactly is going on." The Sydney Morning Herald's Robin Oliver wrote "This is a prime example of an ill-constructed, badly acted, remorselessly predictable, atrociously directed, uninteresting and generally unnecessary telemovie."
Three more TV movies featuring John Stamford appeared in 1995, Singapore Sling: Road to Mandalay, Singapore Sling: Old Flames and Singapore Sling: Midnight Orchid.
