Watch The Impossible Kid For Free

Overrated

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The Impossible Kid is the sequel to For Your Height Only, the first Filipino James Bond spoof starring the one and only dwarf action star extraordinaire, Weng Weng. Sadly, despite the end credits promising a third instalment entitled License Expired, that film was never made and so The Impossible Kid is the final entry in this most bizarre series. It carries on in exactly the same vein as its predecessor with Weng Weng playing a secret agent who not only easily defeats foes three times his size with martial arts skills but who is also irresistible to women. It's naturally a completely ludicrous set-up which is played out as if it might be the most normal scenario to ever unfold.Weng Weng is Agent 00, who is an Interpol agent who is out to bring down some bad guys. I can't remember the storyline, it was forgettable. What makes this one worth viewing is Weng Weng. The film may well be exploiting his stature pretty obviously but never be in any doubt this little guy is a serious action actor. He engages is some seriously dangerous looking stunt work, one of which involves him being lowered on a shaky bit of rope down from the roof of a high building. One false move and it would be bye-bye Weng Weng that's for sure. He is a tough little cookie. With his pudding bowl haircut and disco suit he makes for a memorable central character that is for sure. In this film, he even gets to travel around on a mini motorbike, which seemed to have about as much power as a garden lawnmower, yet on which he manages to jump over a ravine while travelling at perhaps two miles an hour.This is one of the many Filipino genre films that were made during the period. Like all the others it's a cheap production. Everything is pretty basic and it wouldn't be very good at all if it didn't have its star actor to focus on. It does have to be said though that, similar its predecessor, the novelty does wear off a bit after a while. Weng Weng is game throughout but the action does get a bit samey. But, on account of its great central actor, this one can only get positive points.

"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.

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.

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.
