Singapore Sling: Old Flames is a 1995 Australian television film about a private eye in Singapore. It is a followup to Singapore Sling, Singapore Sling: Road to Mandalay and Singapore Sling: Midnight Orchid. John Waters stars as John Stamford who investigates a stunt gone wrong during the production of an action movie. Also featured are Josephine Byrnes and Chris Haywood.[1]

The Age's Jim Schembri criticised the script for "the latest instalment in the adventures ot John Stamford, the world's blandest private investigator." He writes says "like previous Slings, the performance of John Waters as Stamford still lacks panache."[1] Brian Courtis in the Sunday Age asks "What has made this Australian series of telemovies such a stinker?"[2]
