Synopsis

Weng Weng plays an agent, code-named “00” who works for the Manila branch of Interpol. The Chief sends him in pursuit of an arch villain, Mr X, whose white sock covered head is reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan’s pointed hoods. When Mr X holds the Philippines for ransom two businessmen, Maolo and Simeon, pay his demands. Weng Weng suspects foul play and goes deep undercover to reveal the true identity of the mysterious Mr X.

Bezenby There's bad guy balls need punching and Weng Weng, a man who is smaller than my six year old son, is just the guy we need. He's an interpol agent in a tiny white suit that the chicks all dig, and he's out to smash a gang of bad guys who are extorting money from a bunch of businessmen.There's not much going on story wise but basically we want to see Weng Weng kicks everybody's arse (or balls, if we're being honest here) while girls swoon over him. He gets into various scrapes, gets locked in cages, hides in suitcases etc etc. There's some boobs, and a nice shoot out near the end when Weng Weng gets a hold of a machine gun, so nothing to worry about there.What I did notice was the high amount of 'bad guy laughing' in the final third of the film, but that's to be expected. Not much to say about this one but it's available on Mill Creek's 50 Martial Arts Classics box set, which also includes the great Ninja Death series (which holds the record for the amount of times I've rewound a film because I couldn't believe what I was seeing). It's probably on YouTube too
Jon Gillett Films of this type should never be viewed seriously, they are made deliberately to poke fun at clichéd film genres and are primarily there to make you laugh after stumbling in after a night out on the lash with your mates at the weekend! Weng-Weng once again plays the role of super smooth action hero 00-Weng; irresistible to women and hard as nails...he takes on all the bad guys & wins! Scenes to watch out for are definitely the "Jumping the ravine on a monkey bike doing 5 Mph", suspended by monofilament wires. Self-destructing television sets; Pre-recorded videos that ask interactive questions and respond to live answers; this film has it all, no doubt about it!!! "You don't know me and you don't have to know me..." Genius!
kulaboy This little gem was found by me in a dollar store and I couldn't resist the cover- a midget super hero! All my fantasies on the cover of one DVD. Was it too good to be true? It was better than expected.Dubbed, the characters in this are totally straight faced actors. Agent 00 works for Interpol, and despite very few lines, he performs amazing acrobatics and fight scenes and even drives a mino scooter. He is adored by women ("I couldn't help myself") and seemingly indestructible. This is a pleasure of a film and I am dying to see the first movie as this is a sequel. Worth a dollar or ten dollars for the sheer joy. I'm glad they didn't take it too seriously but also didn't go overboard with humor or jokes- subtle comedy that lets the little man do the work. Great scene when he has to reach for an elevator button.
apmolekyl Yes folks, Weng Weng is at it again. This time he works for Interpol, with a license to kill, zoom around on THE baddest miniature motorcycle (it's canary yellow, you know) ever made and more attraction on the ladies than Austin Powers himself. I mean, women literally snap after him whenever he sets his tiny little feet on the perimeter.Extortionist terrorists (hey... that rhymed) are kidnapping wealthy businessmen, holding them for ransom. Naturally this has got to stop and Weng Weng gets to work his magic.Could this guy be any cooler. I mean, not only does he have a Dario Argento haircut, he's shorter than dwarfs yet he does the most death defying things with his tiny Filipino frame: leaps off of huge buildings with a cape floating him to safety, gets lowered from 10 story buildings dangling from a rope and (you've really gotta see this one) jumps over a huge cliff with his yellow motorcycle in a wonderfully cheesy shot.He's also badder than baddest when he lays down the coolest martial arts display ever in a one scene, before messing up a whole bunch of bad guys and kicking the crap out of a girl (say what you want, at least he doesn't discriminate).I've been fortunate to see both For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid and I'm in love. Now where is Licence Expired. I wonder if they got around to making that one. If so, then DVD-makers around the world (ehum... Mondo Macabro... cough cough)- start digging.Like I said, I'm in love. The little ball-puncher stole my heart and jerkily ran with it. For the love of god, go see this movie! Citizen Kane, Schmittizen Brain. THIS is true brilliance.Apemolecule
