    The trailers misrepresented his height. He was not three feet tall.

    He was, in fact, 2'9. They cheated the viewing public out of three inches of actor.

    Oh yes those 3 inches make all the difference... especially to all those ladies he gets to go all James bond on.

    OMG! I remember these films when I was a little girl. The actor and of course the film production is Filipino. I believe those were done in the early '80s. :lol: What a funny trip down memory lane. The actor's dead by the way. Will see if I can find out more details about him.

    Yes, I am Filipina... married to an American ... living in Korea.

    Weng Weng was a Filipino actor and martial artist. Only 2 foot, 9 inches (83 cm) tall, he is listed in the Guinness World Records as the shortest adult actor in a leading role. He played a secret agent in For Your Height Only. He had an active film career in the 1970s and the 1980s, but had been retired for several years prior to his death in the mid-1990s.
