Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Red-Barracuda 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.
gridoon2018 "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.
Jon Gillett 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!
apmolekyl 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
