    Honest to god, I have never laughed so much during a movie. My throat hurts.

    There are too many things to mention, but the dubbing in particular (aside the fact that Agent 00 is about 2ft tall) is brilliant. An actual phone conversation:

    (Dials number)
    Weng Weng:"Check this out"
    Erma: "Interesting"
    Weng Weng: "See ya there"
    (hangs up)

    A line from one of the bad guys: 'That Agent 00 is a mass killer. (dramatic pause) Who will be next?

    Then there's the scene where he does a roundhouse kick off a bad guys knee, the one where he jumps off the 20th floor with an umbrella, he uses a jet pack, dances at a disco with the obligetary bar fight, and not forgetting the balding asian man with a mustache dubbed over by a young black male. Amongst much more.

    Possibly the greatest movie I have ever seen.

    I hope there's a maudulin scene where he realises just how short he is and goes into a depression to the tune of Randy Newman's 'Short People'.

    That's interesting. I recently got "The Exterminator" on DVD and FYHO was one of movies featured on a preview reel on the disk.

    I was sorely tempted to get it but eventually I plummed with another movie featured on the ad reel, Frankenhooker.

    Have to agree, my cheeks ached coming out of the Horrorthon. Favorite line?

    "They must be exterminated. And I mean lethally!"

    Trust me, it's worth finding. You'll never laugh more.

    And the Exterminator, isn't that the one where the guy is turned into mince meat? Crap film! :D

    That's the one. The DVD cover is misleading. Makes out like he only kills people with a flamethrower. No sir, he has various cruel and unusual punishments lined up for these suckas!
