This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Beautiful, moving film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

"The Impossible Kid" scores novelty points for being, as far as I know, one of the only 2 midget-spy movies ever made ("For Your Height Only", with the same lead, is the other). However, the novelty does wear off a little before the film's end - it would have been better shorter. Weng-Weng cannot really "act"; he looks lost in the dialogue scenes, as if he's not sure of where the camera is or what he's supposed to be doing. On the other hand, he makes a surprisingly convincing little badass in the fight scenes where he's beating up men (and a couple of women) almost three times his size; he uses low blows (to bring his opponents down to his level), kicks, elbows, wooden sticks, metal pipes, car doors, and if all else fails, guns. The English dubbing is terrible (at one point, a character comes across as a ventriloquist!), but the score is lively and makes the duller parts of the film more tolerable. **1/2 out of 4.

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.

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

This movie is about a midget-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.
