Philippine/filipino References In A Foreign Movie


Recommended Posts

Soulmen starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac...hindi ko kabisado ng verbatim but it goes something like this...

 

Bernie Mac: How about you? How come you never got married?

 

Samuel L. Jackson: I almost hooked up with this girl down in the Philippines in Manila. But, i couldnt learn to speak

TAGALAG (not a typo) and the only English she knew was "Me love you long time for $2."

In the movie "Sphere" starring Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman and Samuel Jackson, they were investigating an "alien" spacecraft discovered under the ocean. A box which serves as a trash bin inside the alien spacecraft was labeled - Basura. :lol:

 

Basura is not an exclusively Filipino term. It's actually a Spanish word which a lot of Filipino words are.

anyone whose an avid horror/gory movie fanatic will be familiar with Anatomy 2. http://www.contactmusic.com/new/film.nsf/reviews/anatomy2

 

This is a German horror/thriller but unlike any other, leading lady dito ang Pinay. Some scenes portray Rosie Alvarez (leading lady as a nurse) always been mistaken as either chinese or thai butshe always answered "I am a Filipina"...."Im from the Philippines....". this is probably the only foreign movie where a Filipina wasn't put in a bad light instead she played a very important role as a conservative yet strong type of women the german lead guy falls in love with. I wonder kung bat di masyadong sikat dito sa tin. But it just confirms my resolve that among the foreigners, the Germans have the highest regards for us. There was even a statue of Jose Rizal in Germany.

Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach, starring Stifler (dont know his real name). He has a filipino player in his team. kaso, di rin maganda pag-portray nila sa pinoy dito... parang retarded.

 

Drawn Together (cartoon series, dont remember which episodes tho), dami din reference about pinoys... ganun din, tungkol sa bading and mail order brides din ata. (although, almost all ethnicities are bashed in this series).
