11/01/2018 Facinating...far more than just a doco about amshort actor...a film a bout philipeno film and culture intersections...and then there's the Bookmans bobble head...you know you want to.. See more 01/09/2015 A shockingly bigger than expected story, tackled with an obsessive wit by a committed mind that could only have come from the shelves of a cult video store. The Search For Weng Weng is a film that informs about an obscure but compelling subject and tells a constantly surprising story of political/cinema history in the Philippines and the exploitative avenues of the film industry. See more 12/13/2014 A simple yet surprisingly touching & deep documentary about a Brisbane Man Andrew Leavold (Who I know) who went on a pursuit to find who the real Weng Weng. He grew up with an old VHS Copy of Weng Weng's most popular film For You'r Height Only (1981) & for years was intrigued about Weng Weng but could find nothing on him. He eventually decided to head to Philippines to complete his odyssey. Filled with insightful history & touching & sincere interviews, this truly was a wonderful documentary. Andrew Leavold's passion is injected to every aspect of the film & it's a must see & as much as Weng Weng is. See more 12/07/2014 An interesting look into Philippine cinema and its biggest little start. Weng Weng was a surprisingly complex person with a complex short life. See more Read all reviews
