What happens

For Y'ur Height Only (also known as For Your Height Only) is a 1981 Philippine action comedy spy film starring Weng Weng. Its title is a play on words on For Your Eyes Only, the title of the James Bond film released that same year. A sequel was produced in 1982, titled The Impossible Kid. Weng Weng is known as the shortest man to ever be a lead in a feature film, standing at 83 cm (2 ft 9 in). In the film, a secret agent has to stop the world domination plans of a warlord.
