“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

For Y'ur Height Only (1981)
aka For Your Height Only, aka The Impossible Kid
How bad is it? It's one of the lowest rated films at IMDB.
Should you see it? Yes.
This homage to James Bond films (the star is billed as Agent 00 - which also appears to be the title of an abbreviated version of this film) is not the worst of its kind. Dean Martin's Matt Helm movies ("The Ambushers," "The Silencers," "The Wrecking Crew," and "Murderer's Row") are all worse, for example. It does have the idiosyncratic dubbing of poor translation, misunderstood idioms and outdated slang. It also stars Weng Weng, who is around a meter tall, but this exploitative detail puts it in the same category as "The Terror of Tiny Town," a novelty that's of average quality. The stunts aren't bad and I was impressed at how they shot at oblique angles to hide the fact that the stunt man was of average height.
This is the only positive review you'll ever see of this film!
