Genre: Comedy

1. Usual Birth of the leading Actor/Actress
2. Dream Sequence which leads to Song & Dance Scene
3. For whatever reason a Ghost & Aswang Scene inserted
4. The girlfriend/Daughter/Son where kidnapped by Bad Guys
5. Comedic Action sequence
6. Police arrived late while leading Actor/Actress Saves the day
7. Happy Ending/Song & Dance Scene Again

Genre: Action

1. People involve wears Leather Jacket/ Long Sleaves Shirt
(Honestly Speaking, Philippines is a very Hot Place)
2. Here come the sexy scene for the Sexy Actress
3. An unbelievable two bullet dispersal while ther is only one gunshot
4. Several Suntokan/ Stunt Scene. (Stuntmens obvious tumblings once there is a pyro)
5. Car Chase scene usually Done on a Wide Space road along Fairview?
6. Worst The Car being use for Pyro are Junk, Old Model Cars that come out of nowhere (Thanks MeowPao)

Adult/ Mature
1. Rape Scenes
2. Not so good acting ( No wonder why they call it pito-pito)

Highly appreciate you post here.

Ahh... this is the best... have you seen that movie by Lito Lapid? 2 bad guys run in different directions. Lapid checks his .45 pistol (favorite of the pinoy action heroes lalo na si FPJ-check his latest movie), and finds out he has only one bullet left. So what he does is he grabs his BALISONG, aims his gun, puts the blade in the front of the barrel, then FIRES. Natually, the 2 bad guys get hit and fall down! hahahahahaha!  ;D

Don't forget that the car is usually of junkyard quality. Makes you think how that thing got there in the first place!

I have a soft spot for those 80s flicks where they try to jam in as many love teams into one movie as possible. A classic example of this genre would be "Love Boat", with Ruffa Gutierrez and Dennis Da Silva if I'm not mistaken. There's usually a part in the middle where the love teams blunder about a haunted house to comedic and "thrilling" effect. Ano pa nga ba yung ganitong tipong sine?

Here's some more:

  • The dying bida or a loved-one of the lead manages to speak a kilometric sentence but dies before he/she could say the last word (usually the most important!) >:(

  • The bida manages to knock-down all his contra-bidas using ONLY his bare hands.  It doesn't matter how heavily armed the goons are. ;D

  • In the song & dance number, the comic relif gets to sing a line or two and brings chaos to the grand production number. ;D

If I can remember the title of the film mentioned above was "Alamat ni Leon Guerrero".

Lito Lapid trademark, nagkakasa nang .45 pistol sa hangin.

Feel free to add your own

49 Things You Would Never Know Without The Movies

During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.

All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.

It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No-one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition - even if you haven't been carrying any before now.

You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

The Chief of Police is always black.

When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

Interbreeding is genetically possible with any creature from elsewhere in the universe.

Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.

If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say: Enter Password Now.

Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning even though their husband and children never have time to eat it.

Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames.

The Chief of Police will always suspend his star detective - or give him 48 hours to finish the job.

A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of RFK Stadium.

Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

Although in the 20th century it is possible to fire weapons at an object out of our visual range, people of the 23rd century will have lost this technology.

Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.

It is not necessary to say hello or good-bye when beginning or ending phone conversations.

Even when driving down a perfectly straight road it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization.

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage.

No-one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.

Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds- unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.

An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight year old child.

Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment.

The average hotel pool is deep enough for you to survive a fall from any floor.

An Asian crime lord will always have a beautiful daughter named either "Jade" or "Lotus Blossom."

Traveling between any two points in New York City will always take you past the Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Center, Washington Square Park, and the New York Public Library.

By the 23rd Century, everyone in the human race will be beautiful. Humanity will compensate for this by wearing awful clothes.

Most dogs are immortal.

Oo nga pala, parang almost every Filipino action film has some girl being gang-raped. Tapos, the hero avenges the gang-rapee syempre. There's a group of actors na nga na suki na sa panggagahasa like Brando Legaspi & Manjo Del Mundo. Basta may kailangang ma-gang-rape, andun sila.

Typical Filipino Comedy (at least the ones I saw during the early 90's)...

1.  Intro si bida at si sidekick.
2.  Nakilala ng mga bida ang mga leading ladies
3.  Song and dance number sa beach
4.  Nakidnap ang mga leading ladies
5.  Car chase na gamit ay bulok na mga kotse
6.  Bakbakan sa abandoned na building o bodega
7.  Song and dance number (optional na lang kung sa beach ulit)...

;D
The war is over...  Now bring on the classics on HD!

Oks ka, kilala mo pa kung sino yung nang-gang rape.

Speaking of gang rape, howcome nga pala taste ng Pinoy ang rape? No wonder why madami kang makitang news sa tabloid that deals with rape.. :-\

(May connection ba?)

If I'm not mistaken, this I think is Leon Guerrero.  If I'm wrong, somebody pls correct me.  If I'm correct, then I must really be jologs (as my kumpare claims I am coz I'm so good in answering those 70s, 80s, 90s trivia on songs and movies) to still know this. ;D

Thanks dude on that one.


On the other note: Does anyone of you here noticed how CGI effects are presented locally:

Try viewing Yamacrap and Spirit Warriors! Akala ko ok na with the effect but sad to se obvious because whenever they would place a special effect a close captioing bar appears? Like a widescreen style na di dapt widescreen..

If you see it, Highly aprpeciate your feedback

Another added attraction for Action Films.

Bida went into a bar, depressed,sad and lonely.  Goons or Bad Guys are drunk on the other nearby table.

Harassesd the "overly harassed" Sexy Dancer or GRO.

Sexy Dancer/GRO was upset, Bida noticed and a fight goes on

Note: During the fight  there is a strong possibility a person whetehr it is bad or good would be struct by a beer bottle.

After the fight, Here comes sexy dancer or gro thanking Bida offering her help and later on offering her.. you know

Sexy Dancer or GRO becomes mistress or replacement for deceased wife.

Which later on a possibility to be kidnapped by the film's leading Villain....

 :)

Yes, it is possible to escape unscathed from a fireball if you duck into a conveniently-placed doorway, even if the door is closed.

For Filipino movies:

For that split second before an explosion, every car has an option to change into and older and cheaper version, specially if it explodes on a long shot.

Any conflict can end if you take the time to go to a beach and have a song number.

EVERY guy with a mustache is evil, unless he's Christopher de Leon or Rudy Fernandez.

If you're going incognito and you're Sharon Cuneta, you can make a pretty good disguise by making a fake face mole with a pencil and calling yourself "Digna."

The only way to show pure emotion is to SPEAK VERY LOUDLY. Conversely, every baddie has to have a very loud voice to yell all those threats with.

If the lead actor is homely AND pudgy, chances are he's either a politician or the President's child.

Every teen barkada has someone named either Wacky, Iñaki or Bettina.

For Filipino movies:

Funny list, Holly! But you forgot one major bit of wisdom we've learned from Pinoy films:

Women only engage in catfights at the top of staircases, making it easier for one to fall and die (or at the very least, lose consciousness).

Hahahahahahaha!
Because of that movie (MSKM), I always crack up at the mere mention of the name "Digna"!
And don't forget that when caught in a pinch, Ate Sha did a MacGyver and used a piece of charcoal as her mole-applicator.
