007½ : Rien n'est impossible

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!

This movie is about a dwarf-agent from Interpol confronting gangsters who wants a lot of pesos. At one point they put him in a cage, which must have been embarrassing for Weng-Weng, but one must suffer for the art of brilliant movie-making.

I loved the bad guys KKK-hoods and the self-destructing TV-sets, and Weng-Weng (as Agent 00) kung-fu kicking bad guys and pacifying them with sometimes just one light kick in the kneecaps.

At one point he frees a hostage and goes: "Interpol!", to which the hostage replies: "Thank You!" and cut to the next scene. And his voice is dubbed with smoothest guys voice ever! All the women fall for him, and his secretary admits: "Sorry, but I can't help it!" when she's caught kissing him in the office. Totally unbelievable! Hilarious stuff.

A must-see for all lovers of corny cheese.

(1982) The Impossible Kid DUBBED ACTION ADVENTURE/ COMEDY

Starring "Weng-Weng" the 2' 9" (0.84 m) size midget portraying as Interpol agent for Manila, double 0 similar to OO7 but without the gadgets, but is strong enough to beat up people who're twice his size and at least a hundred fifty pounds heavier than him is almost beyond ridiculous, unless he were to possess some kind of power or hard rigorous training I am unaware about. Anyways, this is one of a few movies that used him playing the same role according to imdb this is the third. The only reason I checked him out, basically because of an old Jimmy Kimmel talk show clip making me to become curious what the heck this is and initially thought it was amusing at the beginning, seeing him using his little baby-like hands beating up and killing people (by using a small gun) twice his size, but it becomes very tiring as it drags, since it's obvious that everything is adapted for Weng Weng's convenient dwarf-like size. The plot involves terrorists blackmailing the city, somewhere around the Philippines for a huge sum of money oblivious that it involves some of it's own high paying top magistrate's, Double 0 is assigned to the case and labelled as their best agent to investigate as opposed to any moderate size man. You are either laughing at him or with him.

It may not be fair to judge this movie by just watching the third without seeing the other two movies, but it is what I am giving it for the time being, for one of the advantages of submitting reviews on here is that viewers have the opportunity to change it whenever s/he want at any given time. The other two movies are called "Agent 00" and then "Y'Ur Height Only" or "For Y' Ur Height Only" both released in 1981.

Some movies are so bad, it is worth watching them once. The list of flaws is enormous. Even one musical theme is a travesty of Mancini Pink Panther. This comes from 1982 and looks like the Sixties. It makes Jackie Chan look like James Bond.

Impossible Kid, The (1982)

** (out of 4)

This is the film you get when you mix James Bond, The Pink Panther, exploitation, kung fu and a 2 foot 9 midget. This spoof on Bond features midget Weng Weng as Secret Agent 00 who gets in the middle of a terrorist group trying to bribe rich businessmen. The story here really doesn't matter. What does matter is that you've got a midget playing a ladies man Secret Agent who isn't afraid to use some kung fu to kick ass. As you can tell, this film from the Phillippines isn't to be taken too seriously and if you go in with a tongue and cheek attitude then you're bound to get a few laughs. The fight scenes are so incredibly ridiculous but they work because there's a midget involved. Seeing these beautiful women fall over the dude also manages to get some laughs. The film, technically speaking, is pretty bad but then again, this wasn't meant to challenge Citizen Kane. The score also rips off that of Bond and the Panther.
