I'll tell you why so serious

Good movie but grossly overrated

Fresh and Exciting

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Where to begin with this one? This is one of those one-off movies that is so specifically bizarre that it has never been repeated. It is of course, a James Bond parody whose secret agent is a two-and-a-half foot midget with a pudding bowl haircut and white suit. The secret agent is played by a small man known as Weng Weng. This film is undoubtedly a star vehicle for this pint-sized star. One of the most notable features of the film is how hard a little guy Weng Weng actually was. He has to do his own stunts, as clearly there weren't too many body-double stunt-men who could pass a likeness test for this guy. So basically we see him firing all over the place in various stunts, including jumping off bridges and zooming around in a jet-pack. Considering his tiny frame his physical feats in this movie are considerable.So how is the movie itself? Well, to be honest, entertaining to a point. Sure, it's central idea is pretty funny, and there are a number of amusing set-pieces; while the supporting cast of characters are dubbed with some hilarious voices and spout priceless lines such as 'he's making a monkey out of the forces of evil!'. But the problem is that it's essentially a one gag movie and it's stretched to breaking point. The action scenes with Weng Weng thwarting 'the forces of evil' get a bit too samey, with him constantly kicking hell out of men three times his size and endlessly mowing down enemies with a machine gun.For Y'ur Height Only is definitely a curiosity and one-of-a-kind movie. But ironically for a dwarfsploitation flick, it could have done with being shorter.

I like strange movies--so strange that friends and family often wonder why I watch them. Part of it is because after nearly 10000 reviews I like to see an occasionally dopey or weird film as a change of pace--such as a Mexican luchador or Turkish superhero movie. Part of it, according to my oldest daughter, is because I have no taste. I prefer to think I just have unique taste! Whatever the exact reasons, a spoof of James Bond starring one of the smallest men in the world is right up my alley! Sadly, however, the idea of a midget secret agent definitely is not enough on its own to merit a full-length movie--therein lies the biggest problem with "For Y'ur Height Only". It's a cute idea but it's hard to see spending 87 minutes of it. Now despite what you'd think, however, the movie is not as horrible as you might expect--mostly because it never takes itself too seriously and because, believe it or not, Weng Weng's acrobatics and fighting are reasonably good for a man only the size of Mini-Me. Sadly, however, aside from being able to punch and kick better than you'd expect from a tiny man, Weng turns out to have about as much charisma and sex appeal as a tomato. And, as a result of this and a rather poor plot, the overall viewing experience becomes tiresome after a while. Sure, there are some fun moments (like his 'parachuting' out of a high-rise window) but too many fighting and shooting scenes slow down the pace to a crawl.

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.

I just bought a copy of "For Your Height Only" today...thinking it to be nothing more than a mere spoof...but I was wrong! Like "The Omega Man" this movie has a couple of bloopers, but its so funny...I choked on my drink when I watched the scene where Double-O has that fight by the ferris wheel! Even if a movie is cheap and old,don't judge by that! For the moment it is definitley one of my faves! I love these cheap foreign comedies! Agent Double-O is a master spy and a cold hearted killer, so I don't know about parents wanting their young children watching this hilarious comedy! This is worth a look! If you like this film I suggest my favourite film of all time : WATCH OUT,WE'RE MAD! Like For Your Height Only, Watch out Were mad is full of many one liners and hilarious fight scenes! This movie was made for people who enjoy so-stupid-its-funny movies! My vote 8/10 ! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!!
