For Y’ur Height Only

Kick it with ASIAN ACTION MONTH at Mondo Mondays, and see where East meets West in a frenzy of mind-boggling B-movie lunacy!

“Bigger than Goldfinger’s Finger!  Bigger than Thunderball’s  (…..)!”  The incredible Weng Weng destroys the screen as a two-and-a-half-foot tall Filipino secret agent who’s part martial arts master, part suave love machine, and 100% badass in the unbelievable James Bond spoof, For Your Height Only!  Can it be true that such a film exists?  It can, and it does. Unquestionably one of the most whacked out movies ever made, For Your Height Only tells the incredible story of how the diminutive Agent 00 – played by the legendary Weng Weng – is directed by the Secret Agency to take on the mysterious “Mr. Giant” and his death dealing gang of villainous henchmen, who are plotting to use a lethal weapon to take over the world. All roads lead to Mr. Giant’s super-secret lair on Hidden Island, where Agent 00 must pull out all the stops, flying through the air using his mini jet pack, felling his opponents with below the belt kung fu action, unleashing a dazzling array of hi-tech gadgets (including a bladed boomerang hat) and canoodling with a variety of tough women. Bolstered by mind-boggling dubbing and sky high levels of surreal camp insanity, For Your Height Only is truly “out there” cinema, and an unforgettable showcase for the one-and-only Weng Weng, who proves, to quote a famous James Bond theme song, that “nobody does it better.” (Dir. by Eddie Nicart, 1981, Philippines, dubbed in English, 88 mins., Rated R)
