ONE EPISODE FROM THE SOPRANOS SEASON 2. TONY SOPRANO'S GROUP IS HAVING A HARD TIME COLLECTING PROTECTION MONEY FROM THE OWNER OF THE WHOREHOUSE. TONY'S GROUP IS SAYING THAT IT IS THE WHOREHOUSE OWNER'S WIFE, WHO THEY SAY IS A FILIPINO, WHO SERVES AS THE HUSBAND'S INSPIRATION IN PLAYING HARDBALL WITH THE MOBS.

In the movie Taps, when it was announced that the Bunker Hill Military Academy is being closed down as decided upon by the Board of Trustees, the speaker mentioned "in the jungles of the Philippines" in reference to the places & wars that the alumni of the academy have fought in.

 

This 1981 movie by 20th Century Fox is the debut movie of both Tom Cruise & Sean Penn.

This was because this movie was inspired by the Philippine Deep. Michael Crichton was supposed to have been vacationing in the Philippines when someone told him about the Philippine Deep. How it was never been explored due to its extreme depth.

 

Na-inspire siya to write about a mysterious vessel found sa ilalim ng ocean covered by 3 hundred years ng coral growth.

 

Although I cannot recall if may reference about the Philippine Deep sa book (tagal ko nang nabasa iyon e), sa movie e wala yata talaga. Well except for the "BAZURA" scene...

No laaaa....BAZURA is originally spanish for trash. The reference in the movie was the spanish word, not the taglog one.

 

In "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert", the main characters stumble into a couple in the middle of Australian Outback nowhere, and the wife is a pinay exotic dancer. Her act consisted of ping pong balls which she can magically pop from an orifice, iliciting wild cheers from the Outback crowd. She happened to hate her Aussie husband so he was subject to a lot of pinoy expletives in the film. Quite funny, actually.

 

Here it is in youtube, listen closely.

heheeh Share ko lang I guess nobody knws about this yet. There was an old movie entitled "PROBLEM CHILD" I cant remember if i was part 1, or three. But the grandfather said he is waiting for his mail to order bride from the philippines. Nobody mentioned this movie before in here so I guess nobody watched it before.

 

Another is a movie I think a few years ago... Im not sure about the tilte I thibk it's the ISland. They were doing a reality kind of thing and took the the most dangerous prisoners and dump them in an isand and they were supposed to k*ll each other( survival of the fittest) in exchange for their freedom. Well the island was supposed to be somewhere in indonesia I think but the guys fixing the sattelite spoked tagalog hehehee...... And there were 2 scenes in here that the workers were speaking and cursing in tagalog.....
