The man is back in town ready to face the camera in the forthcoming MMFF entry.....ENTENG KABISOTE.

Cooking up a project for Ara Mina's film outfit.

is he going to appear in the movie?

keating · « **Reply #483 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 08:47 PM »

Yup he can't refuse Bossing Vic.

He was already at the domestic airport flying to Bacolod when he got the text for a two-day shoot.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #484 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 08:59 PM »

i wonder what role he'll be playing... that's something to look forward to.

keating · « **Reply #485 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:03 PM »

Yep me too.

But seriously speaking its just for fun. His most memorable roles were in TATLONG TAONG WALANG DIYOS, ROCK AND ROLL, JOSE RIZAL.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #486 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:16 PM »

oh yeah Rock & Roll he played Mark Gil's father right?

keating · « **Reply #487 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:24 PM »

Yeah, was that helmed by Maryo J. delos Reyes?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #488 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:34 PM »

yup... the last musical he directed with the Superstar...

keating · « **Reply #489 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:39 PM »

Its time to dig also that film. Hey, the man was also in Brocka's GUMISING KA, MARUJA.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #490 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:41 PM »

i asked around even Jake Tordesillas doesn't have a copy...

keating · « **Reply #491 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:57 PM »

That sucks if there is no available copy of ROCK AND ROLL.

Mario O'Hara gave Peque a long line in TATLONG TAONG WALANG DIYOS and he was hesitant to memorize and act on it but he passed with flying colors. On the way home from Majayjay Laguna going back to Manila, he was proud of himself!

keating · « **Reply #492 on:** Sep 06, 2007 at 07:42 PM »

It seems that Peque's filmography on tv is more interesting than the films he did during the 90's and beyond. Not even a massive heart attack before Christmas of 1984 could stop him from making movies.

He walked out of the medical center straight to shoot SCORPIO NIGHTS.

Peque Gallaga setting up the Epilogue of ORO PLATA MATA.

Nice stills bro.

keating · « **Reply #495 on:** Sep 15, 2007 at 12:33 PM »

More stills wedge from one of the greatest Filipino films ever made bar none.

Party scene in ORO PLATA MATA.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #496 on:** Sep 15, 2007 at 01:24 PM »

Wow, a 5-hour director's cut of Oro. Will that ever see the DVD light of day?

wedge · « **Reply #497 on:** Sep 15, 2007 at 01:27 PM »

Keats, so there is really an existing print of the 5-hour version of the film?

keating · « **Reply #498 on:** Sep 15, 2007 at 01:28 PM »

The most complete print is the one being shown at Cinema One bro. Let's dream for the moment for the 5-hour cut. Sorry guys.

I always forgot to ask Peque about that wedge. If the 5 hour print exists, Peque will surely get hold of it!

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #499 on:** Sep 16, 2007 at 12:29 PM »

Peque himself stated it no longer exists, that it was never meant to exist and that the three hour cut is the definitive one. Out of the horse's mouth.

keating · « **Reply #500 on:** Sep 18, 2007 at 08:29 PM »

Manny Ojeda and Jaime Fabregas in a scene from the MATA section.

Joel Torre and Sandy Andolong before the finale.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #502 on:** Sep 20, 2007 at 12:48 PM »

So when will this be released in DVD? Based on those still shots, there's no widescreen 16:9 version, or is there?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #503 on:** Sep 21, 2007 at 07:47 AM »

here's a little something for everyone...

No news still for the dvd release since Abs-Cbn has only the cable rights of ORO PLATA MATA.

Jojo, Regal Films still kept in their vault the print of SCORPIO NIGHTS that has subs and uncut. This was the one that they shown at the Toronto Filmfest back in 1994. Peque and company previewed it before it was sent to the festival. I wonder why did the studio release the mangled version on dvd.

wedge · « **Reply #505 on:** Sep 21, 2007 at 08:37 AM »

Hm. So the Scorpio Nights that has been proliferating in the market is a "cut" one? Even for the VHS version? Could not distinguish the difference between the VCD/DVD and the video versions...

jdv1229 · « **Reply #506 on:** Sep 21, 2007 at 08:44 AM »

as far as i know Regal doesn't have a print of the complete version of Scorpio Nights... the one screened at the Toronto Film Festival is probably in their archives along with Mel Chionglo's Playgirl...

the original Trigon release was uncut...

keating · « **Reply #507 on:** Sep 21, 2007 at 06:00 PM »

I hope to find out soon. Its probably in their vault also in Toronto Film Festival. Nice link, Jojo.

Wedge, the dvd release has shortened the encounter between Anna Marie and Daniel Fernando near the end of the movie, the exchange of saliva was also cut and the erect light bulb of Orestes near his gun in close up shot before the necrophilia scene was also deleted.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #508 on:** Sep 21, 2007 at 11:17 PM »

What's keeping them? Who owns the rights to distribute Oro for home use?

And good thing I have not bought the Scorpio Nights I saw at Astro last year. I recall the showing at the Manila Filmfest center as really uncut.

keating · « **Reply #509 on:** Sep 22, 2007 at 11:21 AM »

I'm confuse who owns the right for the dvd distribution. ECP was dissolved under the Marcoses after the Edsa Revolt.

Abs-Cbn won the bidding for the masterprint after CCP auctioned it, I suppose they have the rights for the dvd home video.
