About this event
A diminutive secret agent known as Agent 00 is sent on a mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist and stop the evil warlord Mr. Giant from using a powerful invention to take over the world. Equipped with an array of gadgets and relying on his martial arts skills, Agent 00 battles his way through a series of villains in this Filipino spoof of the James Bond films. A wildly eccentric piece of Filipino exploitation cinema, the film plays as a low-budget spy adventure packed with action, comedy, gadgets, and absurd set pieces. Built around Weng Weng’s unique screen presence, it became an international cult curiosity and one of the most unusual James Bond-inspired films ever made.
