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).

Typical death situation would be after a staircase fall... severe external bleeding from the head and the eyes were wide open :o ... and the one who caused the fall... from b*tch to an exagerated state of shock guilt driven Woman

I hope they can twist the genre a bit like what Jeturian did with our sex films in Tuhog.

Tuhog itself still shows the typical "rape" , "evil stepfather", "impregnated stepdaughter" and "probinsya" setting...

I saw this on the early part of this topic thread...

Well if you sum it up if applied in the always falling not rising Philippine Cinema..

Typical Pinoy Films = CHEESYNESS (no matter what Genre it is)

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.

*Recycled Toilet Humors for Comedy films...

There's Something About Mary, Road Trip

*Typical Vengeance Plot for Action Films...

The Death Wish series, The Fugitive, Gladiator, Double Team

*Rape is always part of sleazy films...

I Spit on Your Grave, Caligula

*Boring, Funny, What the? - Horror Films

House of 1000 Corpses, Saw,

*Drama Films based on politics (even the reality is: Politics in Pinas is Duhh?)

Nixon, Power


Actually, when you think about it there's not much of a difference between Filipino films and American films in terms of themes. American films are not necessarily better, they just use better film stock.

a Sadako-looking/behaving ghost is a must for recent pinoy horrors!!!  ;D
Plus, the annoying sound of a little girl singing, trying to be creepy. (like in feng shui's trailer: "may inuwi si nanay...")
it's so annoying! ;D


hahaha riverfan i remember those scenes! they were often seen in the 90's. speaking of the sudden song number, the Bida will always win in a contest/get a lot of money from somewhere then spend it on a vacation (zoo, beach, themepark, etc.) accompanied by a parody of a popular song during that era. Classic! ;D

      Andrew E. movies in the '90's is peppered with song and dance numbers in the beach with obligatory women in bikinis gyrating, er, dancing. Good thing, Andrew E.'s not active in movies anymore and I don't get to see this kind of theme lately. I happened to enjoyed though those kind of theme in Regal movies in the '80's. But nothing beats the skateboarding scene of BAGETS boys in Baguio with the background tune of 'Just Got Lucky.' :D

i got into the habit of checking out cinema one's morning movies lately which features comedy flicks of the above mentioned genres and all i can really say is that they are all annoyingly bad.  i wonder if the people who starred in these thrash can watch themselves now with a straight face.  makes me wonder if people did really flock to see these so-called movies.  there is no coherent story or plot whatsoever.  it's just a series of rehashed jokes that are downright unfunny, strung together and is then passed off as movies.  regal and seiko are very much guilty of this trend. 

i wonder if they even keep copies of their own movies.  kasi i wouldnt.

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?)

Speaking of rape... hehehe just recently watched SILIP and it flashes me back on this thread and my posted question.

So, any one of you here have any clue or answer why "RAPE Scenes" is prevalent in the Philipine Movie Industry

It's probably because we have a high crime rate. Also, it's possible that what's typical in Filipino movies can also be found in films in other countries.

            Oftentimes, there's a town fool who always has carnal desires with a barrio lass often played by a starlet in her launching movie. And the setting is always near the beach where the starlet is always in kamison in broad daylight!
