For Your Height Only is legendary amongst lovers of truly "out there" cinema. A film about a two and a half foot tall secret agent - A kung fu master and suave loving machine who struts his stuff in a Travolta style white suit!
Can it be true that such a film exists? It can and it does and here it is! Unquestionably one of the most outrageous and whacked movies in the world.
This double disc set also includes Challeng of the Tiger - featuring the greatest clone of Bruce... Bruce Le. Released for the first time ever in a beautiful new 2.35: 1 scope transfer ... red hot martial arts action!
Disc 3 in the Dick Randall Collection

Tattoo Versus The Bakery Of Doom!.......2007-03-03
This is an incredible double feature. The first and more entertaining film is "For Your Height Only," a Bond imitation starring a Filipino midget named Weng Weng as Agent 00. Weng Weng dresses like a cross between Tattoo from "Fantasy Island" and John Travolta from "Saturday Night Fever." He's smooth with the ladies, has lots of ludicrous gadgets (a ring that detects all poisons, a belt buckle that slices steel bars, x-ray glasses allowing him to gawk at shapely secretaries, etc.,) and is a karate impresario.
The film starts with an American scientist being kidnapped for his "N-bomb" formula. Who could be responsible, you may ask? Mr. Giant (of course...) who is contacted via an illuminated two way mirror. There is abundant midget karate sprinkled throughout, and the implausibility factor is very, very high. Weng Weng has some very deft fight moves you probably wouldn't come up with on your own, such as running between opponents legs and hiding out on a moving Ferris wheel during a shootout. Mr. Giant is hiding a drug smuggling operation in a bakery ("there's a lot of dough in this dough.") The clever Weng Weng pits the mobsters against each other in a food fight and gets teamed up with the lovely spy, Irma. Weng Weng, who is described as "petite like a potato" (don't ask me) at one point actually stops in the middle of a fight for love before using his remote control hat for destruction and parachuting via umbrella back to his beloved Irma. (He is even brazen enough to introduce himself by saying "I'm Secret Agent Double Zero," and the women swoon.) Irma gets kidnapped at the disco and has her communication pendant used against her (as previously seen in "The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman") and is threatened by Mr. Giant with death in his shark tank along with the American scientist (remember him?) but fortunately Weng Weng uses his rocket backpack to fly to "Hidden Island," Mr.' Giant's home, which has the ugliest decor ever filmed.
Once on Hidden Island, mayhem reigns and another karate midget challenges Weng Weng's skills. Not to fear: an entirely new group of good guys arrive by helicopter to assist the hostage situation. The ensuing gunplay seems to last years: the only casualty is Irma who dies on the beach in Weng Weng's arms. She salutes him and says "mission accomplished" then croaks in a performance that is totally out of Shatner's league, even at his hammiest.
This film is utterly perfect for a lover of cinematic badness: it is ridiculous and poorly executed in every possible dimension, thus enshrining it in the B-movie hall of fame. Be sure to catch the extra features including "Weng Weng: An Appreciation."
The second film stars Bruce Le (no, not Bruce Lee) in a ludicrous kung fu extravaganza about Le (and fellow CIA operative Richard Harrison) using their fists of fury to defeat both the mob and Viet Cong for possession of a formula for a new spermicide (I am not joking) that terrorists have seized from two scientists in a bloody laboratory coup. This movie is fairly painful and frequently features a lot of karate and kung fu involving multiple parties making it very difficult to figure out what is going on, and even harder to care. The film has subplots that vary all over the map: morally questionable tennis matches; bullfighting; motorcycle duels on a temple's steps (especially silly); and admittance to the communist party for stealing maps: without question my favorite scene in the film is when Le does kung fu on a bull.
You will be pleased to know that there's a special guest appearance by "Miss Spain of 1982," a somewhat chunky and unattractive enemy agent with no acting skills of any sort. In general the film features more padding than a Posturepedic mattress, and is relentless in it's boringness. After a big diversion at a convention celebrating Macau with Sousa marches and horse racing the finale erupts in a three way kung fu battle and car chase, which concludes with the spermicide formula being incinerated in an automotive inferno.
"Challenge of the Tiger" is a vaguely amusing, multifaceted rip-off, but really could use a little Weng Weng.
Two nice rare films........2007-02-15
For your height only is an entertaining movie filmed in Philippines. The main actor Weng Weng ( very tiny in size ) is the Agent 00 that clashes with the mysterious terrorist Mr. Giant, who wants to conquer the world. Little Weng uses sophisticated gadgets like James Bond and of course nice women feel attracted to him, besides he is skilful, agile and versatile and never gets his hair messed up in the fights. At times he seems Rambo attacking the enemy lines or as actor Terence Hill he slaps the opponent and claps at the same time. Small Weng is a torero, a bullfighter, when he points his sword at his rival before killing him, he becomes a parachutist only with the help of a big umbrella. Near the end, he flies as Superman with a small rocket machine on his back and reaches an island, the hideout of Mr. Giant, the evil boss of drug dealers and kidnappers, but the surprise is: Mr. Giant is a dwarf too!!.
If you like karate or boxing films do not miss this one because is unique.
Challenge of the tiger is a karate action film, played by known actors as Bruce Le, Nadiuska ( Spanish exotic actress ), Richard Harrison and Brad Harris, two old stars of sword&sandle. The last one a bodybuilder.
A gang of criminals have killed a doctor, the inventor of a secret formula and have stolen it, so the CIA authorities call the secret agents, Bruce and Richard to track the murderers and get the formula back.
So karate, kung fu and boxing combats are everywhere, first in Spain later in Hong Kong. Scenes of love with sexy women and agent Richard, who is the film Casanova here. His colleague Bruce Le, producer and director of the movie, hits the bad guys as a machine gun. A lot of fun. All these films thanks to "mondomacabrodvd".
What else could you ask for?.......2007-01-27
If you watch the academy awards...chances are this won't be your cup of tea. If you like watching mini super agents blast their way through any action packed obstacle they face...chances are this film will leave you in a comatose of excitement. I laughed so hard through this that I couldn't move my jaw for a day. Prepare to be rocked!
Jaw Dropping!.......2005-11-12
A truly incredible piece of exploitation nonsense! For Your Height Only is the most amazing piece of exploitation trash I have ever seen ... Starring the one and only Weng Weng, the three feet high Filipino superstar in the first of three outings as Agent 00, the movies parodies the Bond cliches and then some!
A wonderful midnight movie - get some friends together and watch this film - its an unforgettable experience!
"Oh, my little head!".......2005-07-09
A reviewer on the Internet Movie Database once referred to this very odd 70's Filipino spy genre spoof(?) as "the greatest movie ever." While there is some scant evidence to the contrary, I confess I made a similar declaration to my bad movie buddie Jack while watching this. It brought on one of those serious giggle fits, those breathless, guilty-pleasure, I-can't-believe-I'm-watching-this highs that only truly good bad movies can induce. Star Weng Wang is a god, though I could have done without seeing his oddly giant nipples. Somebody really needs to dig up more gems like this and get 'em on DVD!
