Watch For Y'ur Height Only For Free

Excellent but underrated film

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie cracked me up the whole time, I couldn't stop laughing or commenting,that Weng Weng is a dwarf had nothing to do with it. (ok, there were a couple of times) If you want to watch a movie that is a really terrible production but fun to watch, this is the one for you. Weng Weng truly is a gifted martial artist and fun to watch do stunts, one in particular made me gasp for his safety. If you go in not expecting a lot from this movie I think you will greatly enjoy it, especially if you watch it with some friends.At the height of his popularity, Weng Weng was invited by then First Lady, Imelda Marcos to the palace in honor for his contributions to Philippine cinema. He was also named an honorary Philippine Secret Agent and was presented a custom-made .25 caliber pistol by then Vice Chief of Staff General Fidel Ramos.

For Y'ur Height Only (why it's spelled like Y'ur is anyone's guess outside of the Philippines where it was shot) is about a 2 foot 9 inch secret agent, 00, played by Filipino action star Weng Weng as he does secret agent-like things. He's up against a drug dealer of course and has some hot chicks by his side throughout. Yet even an hour after the film ended I forgot really what had happened in it as far as a story goes. And really, who gives a s*** about the story when it's all about exploiting its star's 'eccentricity' for laughs? While certainly not as tasteless as, say, The Crippled Masters with its dual deformed kung-fu masters, the filmmakers do get their moneys worth with what Weng Weng can do, which is kick ass in the 'little' ways that count... which get repetitive... fast.I don't know what I was expecting outside of it being a cheesy-bad romp with silly secret agent stuff thrown in (and a massive body count, the source I had heard of this flick said that it was equivalent to a Rambo movie - it's really more like Commando, but besides the point). What I didn't expect was just how incompetently made the movie would be; scenes jerk from one to the next without anything to fill in certain story gaps, like from a fight to a bunch of the gangsters or criminals standing around and arguing about this or that or deciding stuff. It's weird for me to notice it with such a piece of trash as this, but the editing in the movie is particularly awful, with only certain fight scenes gaining some 'umph' (the highlight of the film, for me, is when "Mr Big" or whomever is revealed, and finally Weng Weng has met his match!) The same cheesy music is repeated over and over as much as the kicking-the-crotch shots are done, and even the gun violence gets tiresome after a while. Also, Weng Weng is mostly a quiet and passive(!) observer of a lot of what's around him (maybe he gets more character in the, I'm not kidding, sequel to this movie), and could have used more lines. There's a requisite number of awesomely-bad moments that justify its existence, but it feels so sloppy that it's hard for me to see ever revisiting it the way I would a classic-bad movie like Manos or something.

The synopsis sounds pretty fun, but I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I'd hoped to... it's quite cheaply and poorly made. Scenes begin and end without much continuity. The acting is horrendous. The dubbing, while ridiculously bad, isn't all that funny.I do thank Mondo Macabro for including some additional information about the star and the movie, and for including a second movie, Challenge of the Tiger, which I haven't watched yet. Possibly the other Agent 00 movie would have made a better companion, or a collection of trailers for his movies. I would have liked to have heard the original language soundtrack as well. Oh well.Still, I'm glad such a silly movie exists, and that it has been preserved.

There are few words to describe just how intense this movie is. This is one of those gems, like a favorite obscure Kung-Fu movie or an intensely funny scene that you just end up watching over and over and over until everybody you know has seen it at least twice and your entire town starts quoting lines from it. I guarantee you will be rewinding several scenes multiple times if you watch this. The movie doesn't owe its comedic intensity from its premise alone, instead you find yourself laughing at the cast, budget, scenes, homages, and the bizarre realization that somebody actually MADE THIS MOVIE!! Sure the idea of a 3-foot super agent is funny, but this goes way beyond that. I mean......."Shall we get it on?"
