I thought it would be useful to start a thread where we can post our inquiries on local films -- descriptions of films we can barely remember, cast and crew details, release dates, trivia, theatrical aspect ratios, whodunit, etc...
Feel free to post your answers and inquiries....

Hijacked this from the local remakes thread . . .
. . . anybody seen these?
Two Chiquito movies:
One in which he's accused of being a rapist and he defends himself by flashbacking to a war movie where we find out just why he couldn't possibly be the rapist
and
another where he sings a duet of Something Stupid (?) with the severed head of Eva Reyes(?).

I've seen this one a couple of times when I was a kid, I can't remember the title too...
Chiquito seems to have starred in a lot of weird comedies during his day, they're not quite black comedies, they're dark brown.

the Chiquito movie in which he sang a duet with Eva Reyes' severed head was Ulong Pugot... Naglalagot. the one where he was accused of rape was Takbo, Peter, Takbo!

There's this old 1960's movie that's a favorite of mine: Dance-O-Rama. I remember watching this almost everyday when it was shown in the afternoons on GMA-7, because it was hilarious.
The movie was truly cheesy, but that's what made it fun--hammy acting, musical numbers, and lots of dancing, because it involved a TV dance show. Plus, it also looked like it was fun to live back in the sixties.
It had Susan Roces & Jose Mari Gonzales as the leads, plus Rosemarie and lots of other stars of that era who I can't remember but their faces were familiar--who were they? Btw, is this movie available on tape or for sale anywhere?

most of the other stars in the movie were from Star '66... like Blanca Gomez, Edgar Salcedo, Ramil Rodriguez, Loretta Marquez and others. i'm not quite sure if Dance-O-Rama is available on video but you can check www.kabayancentral.com or the Sampaguita Pictures website. they maybe a bit pricey but hey, if you're a huge fan of the movie then it's worth adding to your video collection.

Someone asked me this and i had no answer, would anyone know who produced the movie "Patikim ng Pinya"? I think this is an Osang movie right? Regal Maybe?

it was indeed an Osang movie... Patikim Ng Pinya was produced by Seiko Films and directed by Abbo de la Cruz who used the pseudonym Rico Mambo.

Cool! Thanks for the info; went to the sites you mentioned and Dance-O-Rama is indeed being sold on the Sampaguita Pictures website--rather pricey though, but I'll have to think about it...

Here are a couple:
--> The Snooky Serna move where she transforms into a snake (!)
--> The Viva produced movie Starring Vilma, Christopher and Lorna. It was partly shot in Baguio where Vilma and Christopher attend a business conference. In one scene, Vilma, aboard her chauffer driven Mercedes-Benz 123, spots Boyet punching a pine tree in anger thereby bloodying his fists.
--> Another Viva movie starring Sharon, Christopher, Cherie Gil and Armida Siguion Reyna. Again, partly shot in Baguio.
--> This Vilma, Christopher movie also starring Romeo Vasquez and Rosemarie Gil. Shot in the States.

I'm not really sure, but I think it's Madonna ang Babaeng Ahas with Eric Quizon.

I think this movie gets shown at Cinema One, they usually show black and white movies every 5:30 am(Rewind).Nice surf music soundtrack, i remember.

Galing nyo sir! Salamat! How long ago was this film tagal na nito, very controversial ito dati diba? This was the start or the peak of the release of many adult productions during that time.

the Chiquito movie in which he sang a duet with Eva Reyes' severed head was Ulong Pugot... Naglalagot. the one where he was accused of rape was Takbo, Peter, Takbo!
Oh man, thanks for the info, Jojo. Been tracking the title of these two down for years. Now the only problem is finding these films. Hehe, if you know the twist in the tale of the latter, then that title's actually quite sly and clever. ;D
-
Who directed the religious-prop horror film called Hinugot sa Dilim?
It stars Audie Gemora, Mari Kaimo, and Caridad Sanchez.

Elektirka Kasi, Eh! was directed by Danny Cabreira for Lyra Ventures... like you i enjoyed watching this film so much. it's so campy. who can forget Chanda Romero & her mirror? Cloyd Robinson as Sprikitik reprising his role from Zoom, Zoom Superman! & Orestes Ojeda with Trixia Gomez playing the title role. :)

The costume of Trixia Gomez looks like pang-manang.....shoulder sleeve so big..... ;D....and Angie Ferro was also cast in this weird & most surreal Filipino flick of all time....
thanks again Jo for the info..... :)

Anybody see Ninjakul ? Was it a Chiquito flick ?

Keating... do you remember how she turns into Elektrika?

Keating... do you remember how she turns into Elektrika?
can't recall Jo....she has a V-shaped agimat just like ISIS that can transform her into Elektrika and yeah I remember Chanda's magic mirror against her....
also the scene at the house where three alien landed and went inside....Angie Ferro was tied upside down in circular motion ala-Spin A win.... ;D

was it V-shaped? akala ko E! ;D... i remember the line that Chanda uttered in the film... "ay ang sinag ng fresh breath ko!" taken from a popular toothpaste commercial in the late 70's.
i do remember that alien scene with Angie Ferro... i'm dying to watch this film again.
-
I'm dying to see this one also (Elektrika) along with Patayin sa sindak si Barbara the Celso Ad Castillo flick...
its V-shaped Jo as far as I can remember....I'm in grade 2 when I saw this one on channel 13 way way back many many years ago.....wala na kong matandaan na dialogue in that movie....you're lucky still remember that line! ;D
that alien scene with Angie Ferro.... God.....the weirdest scene I ever saw in the history of Philippine cinema.....
and Elektrika's other villain was Ernie Garcia with snake on his head..... ;D
-
Who directed Buhay Mo, Buhay Ko starring Eddie GArcia, Pilar Pilapil and Elizabeth Oropesa?

Maybe we can ask the SOFIA (Society of Film Archivist) to unearth this cult classic Pinoy Flick. :) ;D

Has anyone seen a movie called Guni-guni o Katotohanan? I saw the box cover art in one of those rental stores in Daly City a while back and it seems very interesting.

Guni-guni was also the title of a tv show back in the 70's on channel 7. It gives me creeps everytime I see the opening credits of that show and I ask my mom always to change the channel of the tv. :o

I'm not sure if it's from a TV show but it seems like an omnibus horror movie, parang Shake, Rattle and Roll although I don't recognize any of the actors. By the way, the trailer for Tata Esteban's Salamangkero used to scare the heck out of me whe I was still a kid. I hope i get to see that movie too.

Was it LANGIT, LUPA at IMPIYERNO with Susan Roces or MALIGNO? I think only Jojo and Noel can answer it.

would it be Gabi Ng Lagim? it was also re-made in the 80's as Gabi Ng Lagim Ngayon with Charito Solis, Alma Moreno and Rio Locsin. the only difference would be the original was handled by three directors whereas the remake was only directed by Cirio H. Santiago.

I didn't know that GABI NG LAGIM NGAYON was trilogy Jojo. We had the beta tape of this but couldn't save it anymore because of the molds.
Man you should really write a piece about the Filipino films from the 70's and 80's.

it wasn't a trilogy Keating, it only had two episodes like Peque Gallaga's Hiwaga sa Balete Drive ... i thought the episode with Charito Solis playing a retired abortionist (this was five years before she tackled the same role in Bernal's Hinugot Sa Langit) being haunted by the ghost of Rio Locsin (who ended up playing a similar role two years later in Haplos) and the babies that she aborted was really creepy. the cinematography by Ricardo Remias gave the film that certain eerie feeling. it really gave me goosebumps. the one with Alma Moreno where she played a woman possesed by an evil spirit ala The Exorcist, where different sorts of puss, cockroaches & other insects were coming out of her skin was nauseating enough to make me throw up hehehe... it reminded me so much of the Ruffa Gutierrez episode in Shake, Rattle & Roll Part V.
-
Thanks Keating, Jojo. I'll try to rent the movie if i ever find myself in Daly City again. The store I reffered to upthread-- Linda's Groceries, has thousands of old Filipino movies, but I think that half of their catalog is either lost or moldy. I think I even saw a copy of Brocka's Wanted:Perfect Mother there.

It was a twin biller pala.....it was an all star cast right Jo?
Yeah I remember the late Charito Solis as the abortionist, Chanda Romero and Mark Gil as the couple with their son in the house where in the end the ghosts of the babies aborted by Charito Solis appeared........creepy.
The episode with Alma was scary also......that "barang" thing where all sorts of insects came out in her body......first ba tayo dito Jo.....remember wala pa CGI nun!
Who directed it Jo?

you're welcome Renato! i was in Daly City last year and there are some video stores which carried old Filipino films. last i heard though, Cubes closed shop and i loved Gerry's video. it was there that i was able to buy a copy of White Slavery...

it was an all-star cast... Premiere Productions produced the movie for it's 25th anniversary in 1980. i do think that Gabi Ng Lagim Ngayon was the first ... most of the films' special effects were created manually and the prosthetics were created by the great Nita Manahan. as much as the movie had big named stars in it it was a dismal flop at the box office.
Mark Gil played Charito's son and Chanda Romero was his wife. while Al Tantay played Alma Moreno's husband in the first episode, both directed by Cirio H. Santiago.

Jojo was the original GABI NG LAGIM produced by LVN or Sampaguita Pictures? It was all star cast but I cant remember anymore the memorable scene there.

yeah it had an all star cast. as a matter of fact even deposed President Joseph Estrada was in the one of the episodes....

Grabe ka Jojo, ang galing-galing me. I have this movie in mind na talagang gave me the creeps nu'ng maliit pa ako. It stars Babalu na medyo dramatic ang role. Ang ending niya, he has this candle na dapat hindi maupos otherwise mamatay at mawawala na siya sa mundo. Parang he was given special powers then umabuso siya. Basta takot na takot ako sa movie na ito lalo na 'yung huling mga shots na dahan-dahan nang nauupos ang kandila and pumapalahaw ng iyak si Babalu. Would you know this movie Jojo? ???

From the depths of my memory, the brilliant Celia Rodriguez was one of the villains also in this flick. She sports an Egyptian costume that can beat Isis, and do you remember Jimmy Santos as the mummy inside the house of Dr. Sprikitik chasing Trixia Gomez? ;D

OH MAN!!! WHERE CAN I HAVE A COPY OF THIS?
This is my all time favorite cheesiest and campiest all-star movie from the '60s. It was a casting coup featuring the biggest stars of Sampaguita Pictures. I remember the Elephant dance in Manila Zoo, the singing and whistling while riding motorbikes and the fun part, the STUPIDITY of the entire plot! 10 boys instantly falling for 10 girls at their very first meeting, like each pair was predestined to be partners!! No bloody fight or argument over a boy or girl hahahaha!!! ;D

Here are a couple:
--> Another Viva movie starring Sharon, Christopher, Cherie Gil and Armida Siguion Reyna. Again, partly shot in Baguio.
"KAILAN SASABIHING MAHAL KITA" (1985)

Does anybody here have already seen the Janice de Belen and Julie Vega flick, "Flor de Liza"? What's the story all about?
-
ELEKTRIKA, KASI EH blends perfectly comic and fantasy surrealism in one movie. Her power comes from her hand beaming rays of light that can electrify any of her enemies.
I wonder who did the hilarious and strange production design? Mel Chionglo?
Its one hell of a movie that you'll die from laughing! ;D
