1. For Y’ur Height Only (1981)
You may remember this film from our screening in March 2014, but for those of you who are unfamiliar with this Filipino masterpiece, it follows Agent 00, a 3-foot-tall martial arts master (played by Weng Weng) who must stop the a mad scientist unleashing an N-bomb on the world.

This Shaw Brothers rip-off is unique in that it actually features former Bond alumni including the original M and Moneypenny (Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell)!

A Bollywood James Bond – you can probably imagine what this is like.
Superstar Ashkay Kumar probably doesn’t talk about this one much…

“Guys, I have an idea – we make a Bond film BUT featuring the Swedish Bikini Team”
