Two direct-to-video live-action films based in the manga have been created, Bishōjo Tantei Maboroshi Panty (美少女探偵 まぼろしパンティ) in 1991 and Maboroshi Panty VS Henchin Pokoider in 2004, which was also based in another of Go Nagai's manga, Henchin Pokoider.

Cutting two eyeholes in a pair of one of her panties, Susumi wears it as a mask, and dresses in only a scarf, gloves, boots, and underwear, she battles the sinister forces lurking in her school.

Despite her martial arts knowledge, Maboroshi Panty's lack of experience sometimes leads her to make mistakes.

Possessing a strong sense of justice, Susumi makes it her goal to rid her school of its criminals.

After Maboroshi Panty rescues him from the clutches of the enemy, Tsutomu repeatedly assists her when she runs into danger.
