It's FPJ like what X44 mentioned unless you're referring to the 1997 flick directed by Cirio H. Santiago and starred Tom Taus as Pedring.

FPJ played the role of a policeman. Bruno (forgot the surname) was the evil uncle (or stepfather) and the kid was played by the very young Ace Vergel.

Along with FPJ, the other actor was the late Ronald Remy. They were soldiers who were brought to the island when the bird beast started wreaking havoc. If I remember correctly, ang ganda pa ng prologue nung movie. I think it started with a map of the Philippines and how there used to be an island at the eastern part of luzon and that the island was destroyed because of events that happened there -- this was the jump off point for the story of "anak ng bulkan". What I can't remember is the name of the bird. Ace Vergel gave the bird a name.

Had to get out of bed to post again. The name of the bird was Goliat!

Could it be possible this movie still exists in the FPJ vaults?

I stand corrected Quitacet. FPJ was in the movie but was not the lead. Mas tumatak sa isipan ko si SUPERGIRL.

i hope so. I remember watching this in the afternoons during the 80s along with Sanggol Putik.
We kids thought this was titled Goliat after the bird's name.
Sanggol Putik was the first horror movie i saw. I can still remember how this film scared me when i was a kid.

If memory serves me right, di ata si FPJ ang bida dun sa Anak Ng Bulkan. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong on this.

About Elektrika, wala na ba talagang good copy na makukuha?

Channel 13 has the umatic copy of the movie, but almost all of their collection was burned after the Edsa Revolution. Sayang talaga.

I think the film director is still around.......Danny Cabreira.

The tapes were burned during Edsa '86? Bro, ano yung circumstances kung bakit nasunog yung archives nila? I don't remember reading that in the news or in accounts of the siege in Broadcast City.

Sanggol Putik p[ala title nun. Ito ba yung may batang tinapon sa sapa tapos naging monster?

This was part of an anthology , if I remember. The first story was about some guy with an anting-anting that made him impervious to bullets and the second was about a woman who hits-and-runs a man that coems back to haunt her, later "borrowed" for Creepshow 2.

I was pretty scared by this ,too.

keating · « **Reply #38 on:** Sep 05, 2007 at 09:54 AM »

I'm not really sure of the main reason but it was burned indie. During the Edsa Revolt yata so that people will not procede to the area after the people got already channel 4.

ELEKTRIKA falls also under Science Fiction genre. Its low-budget and cheap, cardboard props, Trixia's costume is foil wrap in gold and plastic gadgets. Silly, silly ideas but that's make it a pure fun and hilarious to watch!

Time to sleuth for a copy and contact Danny Cabreira and Douglas Quijano.

Oo Sanggol Putik. Itinapon ang sanggol sa isang tila kumunoy/putikan pagkapanganak sa kanya at somehow lumaki siya sa ilalim ng putik at umahon siya para maghiganti.

Natatak ito sa isip ko dahil nga sa sobrang takot ko sa Sanggol Putik. LIving in the province and in the 80s where putik is part of everyday things I saw made me really scared of a the creature.

Of course in today's standards, Sanggol Putik would look like a man covered in melted chocolate.

Another movie which I barely remember is about a giant lizard/gecko, and if I'm not mistaken it's Tuko sa Madre Kakaw.

I was with a group of friends some time back, iba't ibang age group, pero lahat kami nakaukit na sa utak ang higanteng palaka ,ang pagkamatay ni Ike Lozada at ang kanyang tsinelas all from the Pinky Montilla Supergirl.

I remember this particular scene quite well. It made me cry especially when Ike Lozada crawled all the way to the church tapos hinalikan yung crucifix before he died. Of course, who would forget Odette Khan as the "mad scientist" and her son portrayed by Walter Navarro.

Yeah, our version of Godzilla, sort of. Takot pa naman ako sa tuko noon. Hehe.

Does anybody remember a movie called Taong Bato?

I want to watch this again. It starts out as a typical horror movie about a group of teenagers in Baguio (?)who see a mound come to life into a man-shaped stone who proceeds to kidnap one of them (a girl, of course) than walks all over what looked like the whole country with the girl slung over its back and the cops couldn't do anything but watch - - -and sometimes hand over pandesal and drinks to the captive. Then, at the last minute, it becomes a superhero movie when this Batman/Spiderman hybrid called gagamba is called to help out. Bizarre, to say the least.

Naiyak din ako noon. Hehe.

Jdelacruz and I were discussing some time back how Odette Khan should be given a new life in indie films., more meatier roles than just her usual villainesses, I think she can hack it. Medyo iconic na yan and mahusay naman lumabas. Sayang nga wala ni Ramon Zamora.

I remember this Tuko movie as well.

But this time, the "mad scientist" was played by Vic Diaz.

Is this the film where Ike Lozada became a giant with a Barok-sense of fashion?

Nice.

SANGGOL PUTIK, TUKO and TAONG BATO = interesting! You kind of remember some of them when someone reminds you there exists that kind of movies. Filipino movies really has a way of conjuring up stories that tickles people's fascination with mythology and the obscure. Just talking about them made it more exciting to watch those movies again. Kung tutuusin may mga counterpart noon pa ang mga pinoy sa mga pelikulang Hollywood na mostly e unintentional. Minsan, tayo pa ang unang nakakaisip ng ideya.

No, you're thinking of Darna and the Giants.

Ike Lozada died in that movie too. And if I'm not mistaken, Darna (Vilma Santos) dropped a huge church bell on his face.

I believe there were four (?) giant villains and one of them was Jun Papa, a former PBA player. I should know kasi ninong ko siya.

Anyway, I really don't know if there was another version of this Tuko thingy.

there were actually five giants in the movie... Zandro Zamora, Divina Valencia, Max Alvarado Cesar Ramirez and Ike Lozada.

Yes I was talking/asking about a Darna movie with Ike Lozada.

The Tuko movie is a different thing. I just made use of two quotes in one post.

Now I remember that scene with the bell.

Most probably.....FPJ really took care most of his movies including the ones produced by Susan Roces.

They actually just used the ape technique from Planet of the Apes , which at that time was pretty impressive.

As for Supergirl . . .yeah. there was even Popeye , Batwoman and Robin, Alyas Phantom, Alyas Batman and Robin and Zoom Zoom Superman.

You're right you can't do these things anymore. Not this outright and blatant. Well maybe you can. Look at all those Turkish remakes of Hollywood blockbusters. Personally, Ishma's Zoom Zoom Superman is a lot more interesting and way more fun than that Bryan Singer-Brandon Routh sleeping pill.
