Diminutive three foot tall midget thespian Weng Weng positively lights up the screen with his infectious energy and irresistible charisma in this delightfully dippy spy spoof as Agent 00, a supremely smooth and suave super spy who's an ace martial artist (he's a very dirty fighter with a shocking sadistic penchant for hitting opponents below the belt), expert marksman, snappy dresser (Agent 00's gleaming white leisure suit puts John Travolta to shame), brutal ruthless killer, and total chick magnet. Agent 00 is assigned to thwart nefarious crime kingpin Mr. Giant, who's abducted brilliant scientist Dr. Von Kohler and plans to use the good doctor's latest invention the N-bomb for evil purposes (i.e., world domination). However, it would be grossly unfair to say that the incredible Weng Weng is the whole show here: we've also got a tasty plethora of hot babes, hilariously dopey dubbing (all the villains talk with exaggerated New York accents while Agent 00 speaks with a squeaky Woody Allenesque wimpy whine!), crude direction, gut-dusting dialogue ("You're such a little guy, though. Very petite like a potato," one lovely lass remarks to Agent 00), a constant frantic pace, goofy gimmicks galore (a poison pen, gun umbrella, X-ray glasses), rough, scratchy cinematography, a funky-grooving sub-John Barry score, and plenty of the funniest, wackiest, most sublimely ridiculous action scenes to ever erupt onto celluloid. A complete riot.
