Weng Weng Wednesday

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com


This is Part Two of my Five-piece Series of the 1982 thriller, The Impossible Kid. As you no doubt recall from last week, our hero is working for the Malaysian branch of INTERPOL and has been assigned to prevent terrorists from liquidating a prominent industrialist that was kidnapped during last week's episodes. This is another film of Weng Weng's where he plays a little person, a role in which he is very convincing indeed. There are 10 episodes in all and we tackle two episodes a week, so here are episodes 3 and 4 of 10.

I wished that every one of you watch all the clips, but I know you don't so I'll point out the highlights. It gets "real real" (as my hip-hop brethren say) around the 4:05 mark. And the kick at the 4:11 looks painful. His 6th, maybe 7th sense hilariously kicks in around the 7:05 mark. The 9:10 mark tells us that even wealthy, kidnap-worthy wealthy industrialists drive hatchbacks in Malaysia. The the last line of dialogue is "I know where Agent Double-O holds his karate exercises...." Yes please. Bring on Episode 4!





SPOILER ALERT: Weng Weng is also awesome in episode 4/10!
First of all, the cure for modern Clinical Depression begins at the :28 mark and lasts through 3:30. This is must see Karat-ay action taking place in the littlest dojo you'll ever love- to paraphrase the Peace Corps (how are "corps" and "core" pronounced the same? Good luck explaining that to a new English speaker). Also of note: Gratuitous boob action at 5:50.
