Weng Weng

The bizarre history of Filipino B-films, as told through filmmaker Andrew Leavold's personal quest to find the truth behind its midget James Bond superstar Weng Weng.

В середине 80-х многие американские производители кино категории Б, ввиду дефецита средств на производство своих картин, освоили привычку ездить на Филиппины и снимать свои ленты (women-in-prison, warsploitation, junglesploitation и пр.) именно там — это было дешевле и выгоднее почти во всех смыслах.

Bounty hunter Dalton (Lito Lapid) and merchandizer-turned-sheriff Wild Bill Hika (Dolphy) are two of the most effective crime fighters in the West, and their existence in Bronco Town ensures its peace and order. But the two realize that the town's most dangerous menaces are Oligario (Tony Carreon) and his son Facundo (Romy Diaz), whose firm belief in their being above the law make them confident that they can take over the property of rich miner's heiress Estrelita (Yehlen Catral). Can Dalton and Bill save Estrelita--and the rest of Bronco Town--from the clutches of Oligario and Facundo?

Weng Weng plays an agent, code-named “00” who works for the Manila branch of Interpol. The Chief sends him in pursuit of an arch villain, Mr X, whose white sock covered head is reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan’s pointed hoods. When Mr X holds the Philippines for ransom two businessmen, Maolo and Simeon, pay his demands. Weng Weng suspects foul play and goes deep undercover to reveal the true identity of the mysterious Mr X.

Mr. Weng and his partner Gordon take on a gang of ninjas and Mexican banditos in California's wild, wild west.
