My wife is from the Philippines and this is quality of many of movies I'm forced to watch. Theres this one series of movies about a rubber guy.. makes this one look like its worth a emmy.

GOD... I though for a minute I was watching Fantasy Island...

Bozz....Zee Plain, zee plain!

I actually snorked a bit of food in my nose. Thanks 'giz... Thanks a lot.

note: we don't actually think that this worked "just fine,"

Why aren't you sure it worked? Look at the video. It worked.

I know guardian angels were recently outsourced to the Philippines, but when did MI6 start outsourcing to the Philippines?

@EBone: Check out Wikipedia's article on Weng Weng. It has tight episode summaries for the series (only a few episodes altogether.)

@Nintenboy01: Thanks for the clarification. I honest to god was wondering if that was supposed to be camp or high drama. Seriously.

EBone

@Hickeroar: You should know that my home country is one of the world's leading producers of wacky, intentionally campy spoofs and parodies. At least, back in the 80's and early 90's.

@dotScott: if they are on...its probably on some local cable access channel broadcasting out of alaska

but this clip is perfect for it

Saw something similar in an episode of the Simpsons yesterday...Bart and Milhouse stole all of the fire extinguishers from the School and put them in a wagon, then pulled all the pins at once. The wagon took off like a scalded dog and roared towards the center of Springfield. The town was already on fire, and Bart shot down Main St. and subsequently extinguished all of the fires and became an instant hero. Yay!

I remember Weng Weng and some of his other old movies. RIP, little dude.

Nintenboy01

Wow. That could be some of the worst acting ever. Run into clearing. Dramatically look both ways. Run a little further. Dramatically look both ways. Mount jetpack...and fly somewhere that you could have easily walked.

And since when are 00 agents 2'9"?

@tellahoohooo: What happened to MS3000? Is it still playing? I loved that show. "Oooh, the rare male cameltoe" and "Sorry about the old Johnson... and the motor's old too" were classics.

dotScott

What??!! Where's the rest of the clip? What happened? Did reinforcements make it in time?! I hate being left hanging. Love the editing, that uncomfortable silence while he figured out what to do after putting the extinguisher pack on.

dotScott

where's mystery science theatre when you need them

tellahoohooo

somebody played mario a bit too much

Sunatic

Wow...after watching the clip and reading the first three sentences I'm going to totally try this. It looks like so much fun!

*Wheeeeeee....Wait.....oohhh Nooo.....God Nooo!....AAAHHHH...My Back! My Back!*

Highly convincing.

To all those who want to go out there and try to make a rocket-pack out of a fire extinguisher, have fun. It won't work, you'll probably injure yourself, but if you want to try, go right ahead.

Then again, I'm not a fan of "professional driver" disclaimers either and think there should be a federal law barring tort lawsuits caused by mimicry (like the "Beavis" lawsuit).

I suddenly have an urge to go midget tossing...

Goddammit. How am I ever expected to stop smoking pot when they keep making movies like this? It's a conspiracy I tells ya!!

DoctorX

The internets. Sometimes you have to be remembered that you are in it.
Thanks Gizmodo! :P

@DoctorX: It totally shows us that you're not alone. People got to smoke a lot before taping things like this.

@DoctorX: best comment today :^)

And for those who want their modern day MST3K fix, go to rifftrax.com . Mike Nelson (along with other MST alumni) are continuing the tradition with downloadable mp3 files to sync with movies. It works great!

Also, Joel Hodgeson is getting back into it as well. His newly launched website is cinematictitanic.com . He, along with even more MST3K alumni, are going to release their first newly riffed movie on December 10th.

I bet he can see De Plane really well from up there!
