Weng Weng Wednesday, on um, Thursday

Since I was disappointed with the lack of fervor for Installment 4 of Weng Weng's The Impossible Kid I decided to delay it by a day so you'd appreciate it more.

Weng Weng Wednesday- The Impossible Kid: Installment III of V

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


This is Part Three of my Five-piece Series of the 1982 thriller, The Impossible Kid. As you no doubt recall from week one and week two, 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 week one's episodes. Last week saw Weng Weng infiltrate their training facility and beat up two men and a woman. I don't think he was ever on Hee-Haw, but he knows how to throw a ho down. After handing out that fresh ass-kicking, he went back to headquarters where he saved the life of the aforementioned industrialist, only to find out he was unappreciative of Agent OO's efforts. Gaining the trust and cooperation of the industrialist is vital, however it will be no small task. Hi-oooo.

Episode 5 shows Our Hero grappling with a Cobra, sneaking into a person's residence (after parking his motorcycle in front of the main entrance) under the cover night (while he wears a white shirt). It also features him taking target practice while wearing a red jumpsuit that would make a thrift store owner blush. Lastly, this 10 minute segment has more fake-laughter from a villain than any other 10 minute interval in the history of cinematography.

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 5 and 6 of 10.






Things to watch for in episode 6: A Dr. Evil-esque fake laughter sequence, and how the sound-effect for Agent 00's mini-motorbike sounds eerily similar to a weed wacker, killer special effects ( "special" as in "retarded", not special as in "uniquely great"), and the most uninspired go-go dancing ever captured on film.

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.

Weng Weng Wednesday (Belatedly)

I had a lot going on yesterday and forgot about Weng Weng Wednesday. So to make it up to you, I'll post two videos. They'll be the first installment of 1982's The Impossible Kid. There's actually a part at about the 3:30 mark that isn't safe for work. Weng Weng sees some boobie action while repelling down the side of a building and inadvertently looking into a window. The plot so far is that Weezy Weezy works for the Malaysian branch of Interpol and his assignment is to prevent terrorist militants from killing a prominent industrialist that they're holding for ransom. Dun-Dun-Duunnnnn.

Part 1 of 10



Part 2 of 10



Did you notice around the 5:30 mark of the second video, the eerie similarities betwixt Weng Weng hiding out in the sand pit, and Bin Laden's hiding in caves??!! This movie basically predicts the war in Afghanistan! You can tell that Bin Laden studied Weng Weng film before the invasion, much like how Norman Schwartzkopf studied Erwin Rommel during Desert Storm. Move over Plato's Allegory of the Cave, there's a new Allegory of the Cave in town...

I still can't believe the audacity that the James Bond franchise showed all of those years, making shameless knock-offs of Weng Weng movies. And they thought they'd sell better just because Bond was white and of normal height. Disgusting.

This week's clip has a little plot setting up than previous Weng Weng Wednesday postings have had. If you're more about the action than the plot, you may want to fastforward to about the 1:35 mark.

I wouldn't say I'm bi-lingual, but I do know a little Indonesian. He's in the video below and his name is Weng-Weng.

You know what time it is.

The fighting is so realistic I kinda wonder if this isn't from a movie and is just an undercover camera filming a real-life ass kicking.

I am not sure if this clip is from a movie, or if this is an actual fight filmed on a surveillance video. It is extremely realistic. If it is acted it is very, very convincing. My guess is that it's real.





My favorite part is at the :30 mark when our hero is working over some guy (while he's in a crouched position), and the guy spontaneously covers his junk mid-fight. Then a second later, Weng Weng kicks him in his freshly-covered junk. Almost like it was rehearsed. But it wasn't.

Best actor possible.
