Scott LeBrun Meet our hero Agent 00 (Weng Weng). Lover. Fighter. Badass secret agent dude. Fashion plate. He does it all, and then some, and he's only two and a half feet tall. Naturally, he's the best hope for the forces of good when the minions of the nefarious Mr. Giant kidnap scientist Prof. Kohler (Mike Cohen). Kohler has devised an all powerful N bomb that Mr. Giant will use to control the world. As he works his way through a sexy bevy of babes, so too does Agent 00 beat up and mow down one incredibly inept bad guy after another.Here's one for you to check out if you think you've seen it all. A combination of dwarfsploitation and spy spoof, it gets a fair bit of mileage out of some truly gut busting vocal performances / dubbing and uproarious dialogue. The sight of our diminutive hero soaring through the air and effortlessly clobbering goons is good for much amusement. Unfortunately, for this viewer, the novelty ultimately wore off with a fair bit of movie left to go. The good news is that it's never really boring; it does have energy. And while it tends to be crudely made, that's not a debit for this brand of entertainment. (Obviously, it IS intended to be a comedy.)Among the highlights: Agent 00 meeting with a boss who's a combination of the "M" and "Q" characters from the James Bond franchise, the sight of him using an umbrella to make an escape (after taking an understandable pause to romance a lady in a bed), and flying towards the bad guys' hidden fortress by using a jet pack.The Bond style music is catchy, but it's also repetitive. And just like many a Bond film, the ladies are outstanding scenery attractions. The smooth Mr. Weng is quite a hoot to watch.Seven out of 10.

Paul Andrews For Y'ur Height Only is set in the Philippines where the Government's most dangerous weapon is secret agent 00 (Weng Weng) who despite his small proportions is as hard as nails, a sort of midget James Bond if you will. The evil Mr. Giant, the head of a large crime syndicate, orders his men to kidnap scientist Dr. Kohler (Mike Cohen) so he can extract the information out of him that will allow Mr. Giant to make a deadly N-bomb & hold the entire world to ransom! Secret agent 00 is assigned to the case, armed with all manner of highly sophisticated gadgets & his unparallelled skills agent 00 feeds off information given to him by undercover agent Irma (Beth Sandoval). The fate of the entire world is in his tiny hands!This Philippino production was directed by Eddie Nicart who is also credited on the IMDb (but not the film itself) as the stunt coordinator, one has to say that For Y'ur Height Only is an experience if nothing else. I doubt that there are many people out there who have seen anything like this, obviously a James Bond style spoof which pinches it's pun-tastic title from the Roger Moore flick For Your Eyes Only (1981) although the actual story lines are very different. I don't know where to begin to describe For Y'ur Height Only really, imagine the cheapest, most low budget James Bond rip-off you can & then imagine the star is a three foot tall Philippino midget called Weng Weng & your still nowhere near how bizarre, oddball & downright unbelievable For Y'ur Eyes Only is. It's a barely connected collection of strange fights, shoot-outs, laugh out loud unintentionally hilarious moments & priceless bad dialogue. The script by Cora Caballes makes no sense, there is much here to laugh at or with. Mr. Giant's island hideaway is actually called Hidden Island! There's a scene when agent 00 is escaping from some bad guy's, he opens an umbrella, jumps out of a hotel window & 'floats' hundreds of feet to the ground safely! I'm not sure if this was originally made to be taken seriously, the IMDb says that the original language for this was Tagalog whatever that is but one sense that the English dubbers went all out for comedy with some truly hilarious dialogue. At one point the bad guy's are shipping drugs baked into bread & someones says 'there's a lot of dough in this dough', or a scene in total seriousness when a bad guy says 'one day your going to wake up dead' or a woman explaining her plight to agent 00 saying 'they said they'd peddle my pretty bod as a prostitute' or a bad guy commenting that agent 00 has 'killed a lot of good baddies' & the list goes on & on. Virtually every line is pure bad film gold. At almost an hour & a half I thought it moved along at a decent pace but once the initial joke of this little midget being a secret agent wears off it starts to become a bit tedious & very repetitive, it's more or less the same thing all the way through.Director & stunt coordinator Nicart points his camera, says 'action' & hopes for the best. It looks as cheap as they come, the action scenes are pathetic & once again the only fun to be had is in the fact that a midget is going around beating men up, avoiding bullets & getting the girls. In all honestly there is no action, there's no car chases, there's no explosions, there's no big stunts & I was actually left wanting more. Some of the clothes, the disco settings, the women, the dialogue & decor is just so late 70's, the problem is For Y'ur Height Only is the sort of film you laugh at rather than with if you know what I mean. The only reason it's so good is because it's so utterly awful. The violence is tame, there's no blood & no nudity either which is a bit disappointing because I would have liked a bit of exploitation.Technically the film is poor, the action scenes are poor, the continuity is poor, the editing is poor & the locations are cheap. The special effects are poor too with agent 00 getting a Thunderball (1965) style jet pack at the end with hilarious results. Shot on the cheap in the Philippines. The acting is awful, the little Weng Weng guy is terrible as are all the baddies.For Y'ur Height Only is a unique film, it's a truly terrible film which becomes unintentionally hilarious & subsequently great fun to watch if you have the right mindset. Most casual film-goers will hate it but if your a little bit twisted, like a good laugh & something a bit different totally out of the mainstream then For Y'ur Height Only is a memorable experience. Actor Weng Weng & director Nicart teamed up again for a sequel The Impossible Kid (1981) in which agent 00 worked for Interpol.

As_Cold_As_Ice For Your Height Only is an interesting and fun movie, especially for the Bond lovers among us.The story centres around Secret Agent 00, a 'vertically challenged' agent who works for the Intelligence in the Philipines, where he has to find and infiltrate Mr Giant, a nasty evil syndicate leader who does rather bad things.If you can't already tell by the plot, this movie is almost a direct ripoff of the James Bond movies, but it's a good ripoff. The idea that the main character is a midget is a good one, as he can sneak around and avoid bullets more easily then a normal man can. The music seems to be almost directly ripped from the Bond movies as well. The normal shenanigans which occur in the Bond movies also occur here, especially with many ladies helping 00 in his mission, and an assortment of gadgets handed out by 00's boss, like X-Ray glasses, which he tests on the secretaries outside of his boss' office.Speaking of humour, there was quite a bit of it in this movie, both intentional, like shooting a bad guy on a waterslide, and unintentional, like hilarious things that 00's boss says near the start of the movie. The movie is dubbed, but that rarely gets in the way.Overall, this was enjoyable, well paced (only 86 minutes long), and action packed.7/10

BA_Harrison Any film which features a dwarf secret agent battling bad guys and seducing babes has got to be a winner, right?Wrong! Some films are so bad that they actually end up being very entertaining; For Y'ur Height Only, however, strives to illicit laughs by deliberately being dreadful, but actually ends up being rather boring.Filipino pipsqueak Weng Weng plays 00, a short-ass secret agent who, with the help of sexy assistant Irma (Beth Sandoval), embarks on a mission to rescue a scientist that has been kidnapped by the evil Mr. Giant and his gang.For a while, this tongue-in-cheek spoof spy movie is fun enough: our bow-legged mini-Bond runs, jumps and kicks butt while the bad guys cower in fear of having their knackers bashed (the half-pint hero's trademark move); Mr. Giant's henchmen inexplicably deliver their cheesy lines in the style of 1930s New York gangsters; and 00 uses a variety of badly designed gadgets.But it's not long before the film loses its novelty value and becomes tedious in the extreme, repeating the same gags (00 sliding along the floor with his gun, hiding in tiny places and acting cool with the ladies) ad nauseum.I had hoped that For Y'ur Height Only would be an umissable slice of 'dwarfsploitation', but instead it is merely a cinematic oddity that unfortunately fails to deliver on its unusual premise.
