Philippine/filipino References In A Foreign Movie

[sliderule]

Almost forgot, apparently when Superman returned, he did a bit of work here in Manila hehe

 

There's some unproven speculation on that soundbit from Superman Returns - that line overheard from the TV news - it changes depending on what city the film is being shown, e.g. if you're watching in HKG, then the sound bit will say "Superman was spotted in hong kong...etc". Quite an ingenious marketing gimmick, if you ask me.

1. Superman Returns and Da Vinci Code movie:

This fil-am boy is in those movies if you noticed. His name is "Luigi Armada"

there's an episode of "The OC" (3rd season) where Julie Cooper talks to a maid in her significant other's house...she tries to talk to her in Spanish and the maid just stares at her...then she replies, with a stern look on her face, "I'm from the Philippines." then walks away.

Meron din nung nagtagalog si Stewie, and during Meet The Quagmires. For the Simpsons naman, there was Homer making up some equation regarding the end of the world, and he mentions "adding the number of Filipinos in the Bible."

 

Oh, and I noticed sa Star Wars, one of the Ewoks seemed to shout, "Ayon!"
