I don't know if anyone can still remember this film, it certainly deserves to be called the Greatest B movie of all time. Heroines abound in Philippine celluloid long before Darna hit the stratosphere. It stars Trixia Gomez who lives in the slums and turn into Elektrika to battle the forces of evil led by Chanda Romero and Celia Rodriguez. The scenes are ultimately surreal, weird and hilarious. Too bad the print no longer exists just like ZOOM ZOOM SUPERMAN. Imagine if they can release it on dvd with DTS.

i remember Orestes Ojeda playing Trixia's love interest and he was captured and hypnotized by Chanda Romero. it was also in this film where Cloyd Robinson reprised his role as Isprikitik which he originally played in an episode of Zoom, Zoom, Superman!

Dr. Isprikitik has a pet mummy played by Jimmy Santos who terrorize Trixia, Angie Ferro and forgot the name of the other actress. They were captured and put in the asylum of Dr. Isprikitik wherein he tied the 3 women upside down.

then 3 aliens landed and went inside the asylum.....very surreal very weird.....the rest were history, man, I can't remember anymore.

Jojo I didn't know that Vina Casino the villain in Gosiengfiao's LA PALOMA was in this flick. You are really the master of Philippine Cinema!

master ka diyan... she played Chanda's alalay in the movie...

I wonder if Quentin Tarantino watched this film in Cinemanila. LOL!

Vina vanished in the mirror, right? How did they do it? Grabe ang pelikula sa pagka-weirdo!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #6 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:15 PM »

i don't think Quentin is a fan of fantasy movies...

they used cheap animation but it was great!

keating · « **Reply #7 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:17 PM »

You should see Quentin laughing while watching Cirio Santiago's THE MUTHERS.

Yeah cheap animation but very effective. And the costume of Trixia Gomez, so f**kingly outlandish! I'll request Peque to remake this film before he do the musical version of ORO!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:33 PM »

do you think Peque can beat the original for being outlandish?

agree on the costume it was fabulous!

keating · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:34 PM »

That would be a challenge for him! Do you remember the gadget of Trixia in this film?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:39 PM »

i really don't remember her gadget in the movie... although there was this scene where Trixia was flying along Ortigas and passed by the Meralco Theater where her legs got cut off in an optical shot...

keating · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:41 PM »

She has a baseball bat sort of pamalo and pambambo to her enemies.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:44 PM »

similar to club that Alma Moreno's Wonder Woman had in Fantastika Vs. Wonder Woman?

keating · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:46 PM »

I can't recall na WONDER WOMAN vs. FANTASTIKA. But is this the one where Alma battles women leech?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:47 PM »

absolutely... her Wonder Woman was brought up in a jungle instead of Paradise Island...

keating · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:53 PM »

This was made late 70's, Jojo? The film has creepy atmosphere also. You wish ELEKTRIKA is always around to save the people from the villains.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 03, 2007 at 09:56 PM »

i think it was the mid 70's... not sure of the exact year...

Remember this, keating. And Trixia was bootylicious in her time, I always thought. (Bata pa lang, medyo manyakis na. Hehe) Remember Jimmy Santos as a mummy and was it Gina Pareno in Planet of the Apes makeup or maybe that was Zoom Zoom Superman? They also had someone in an ape mask here, I think. It'd be brilliant to see this again. Another of my local superhero touchstones,and of many people I know, would be the Pinky Montilla Supergirl.

keating · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 04, 2007 at 10:15 AM »

Yeah, X....Trixia was actually the hot bombshell when ELEKTRIKA came out. You should see her in BEERHOUSE.

My cousins and I don't get tired watching this film back in the late 70's paulit-ulit lang on channel 13.

SUPERGIRL is another lost film. Sayang no more existing copy available.

X-®an™ · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 04, 2007 at 10:32 AM »

I have vague recollections of this... ang natatandaan ko lang ay kung gaano kasexy (just like X, maaga akong naging manyakis.... hehehe) si Trixia. Favorite ko rin yung Supergirl ni Pinky Montilla. Let's start a drive to get a copy of this two movies!

keating · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 04, 2007 at 11:35 AM »

It was the battle of the two bombshells between Trixia Gomez and Chanda Romero in this flick. Chanda shows a little cleavage in her costume medyo kita yung tops and sporting a long hair like a sex goddess with her magic mirror against Trixia.

The fight scenes will match the intensity of the battle scene between Vilma and Gloria Romero on top of the church in LIPAD DARNA LIPAD. But the most amusing part in ELEKTRIKA was the fun......Chanda and company will just appear in a snap to terrorize the people around her.

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.

Madalas i-replay ito sa Channel 13 (ata?) dati, so naka-tatak na rin sa utak ko yung kay Ike Lozada... which reminds me of another movie about isang higanteng ibon na galing ata sa bulkan. Ano na nga title nun?

thegoodbyeguy · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 04, 2007 at 03:55 PM »

^ ANAK NG BULKAN (1959)?

In SUPERGIRL, Pinky Montilla is a young girl who got her powers by the ring given to her by an ermitanyo or something and told her to bite the ring in order for her to become a flying superheroine. I remembered a line: "Neneng, neneng. Gumising ka...." 'cause she fell asleep in a well wherein when she wakes up, the ring is already in her finger. She saved a falling boy (or a girl) from the top of a tower as her very first adventure as Supergirl if I'm not mistaken. And of course, the giant frog who wrapped townspeople with its huge tongue. I think Ike Lozada was trampled to death by this humongous creature. The walking dead also added to the huge task given to a local barrio superlass. Those were my recollections of SUPERGIRL.

Anak Ng Bulkan nga yun, X Ran. Si FPJ bida dun. hehe.

Si Ike din yung nahulog sa tore, goodbyeguy. Pero si Ike sinaksak ng kawayan ng mga zombie tapos gumapang siya sa simbahan dala dala yung bago niyang tsinelas.

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?

X44 · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 04, 2007 at 11:18 PM »

His role was small . . .well, supporting. He was one of the young soldiers. Ace Vergel apparently played the kid. Vic Diaz was the villain and I remember he gets killed by a fireball.

Nice recollection X44, I do remember that now. Tama nga, naalala kong gumagapang siya papuntang simbahan.

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.
