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.

dun sa "The Sphere"..nakakita ng trash bin si samuel jackson then binasa niya yung naka-engrave sa gilid.."BAZURA!!!"

 

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...

dun sa "The Sphere"..nakakita ng trash bin si samuel jackson then binasa niya yung naka-engrave sa gilid.."BAZURA!!!"

 

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.

Is that bad? Or its worse to see a comedy film trying to imitate Chinese and Japanese language by a pinoy comedian in a Pinoy film. What do you think a Japanese and a Chinese feel?

The people who gets offended easily about bad reference in foreign movies are 3rd world countries. Developed countries get ridiculed all the time and they don't get so sentimental. I don't say it's a bad thing. It's just what I observe.

Laure (aka Forever Emmanuelle) starring Annie Belle

 

 

Included in the cast are:

 

Bernardo Bernardo as Artemio

Antonio Carmelo Duena

Zenaida Ejansantos

Maria Victoria Abad Cruz

Eddie Joaquin as Arraya

Anna Maria Nicholas

Lita Vasquez

 

"A plot that hinges on the emotional and physical quest for both dominance and subservience to the sexual instinct that tears its way so passionately through the succulent characters, Laure is a surprisingly serious, morally thoughtful examination of free will and erotic choice. Seductive Annie Belle (BLACK EMMANUELLE, WHITE EMMANUELLE) plays the titular role of Laure, an emotionally and sexually adventurous young lady with raging hormones and legs that just can't stay closed. Her free-spirit and sexually radiant figure matches the bold moral philosophy of pleasure with which the subtext of the film truly concerns itself with. At the Manila Institute for research, scientists and tourists wax poetic about the 'Mara tribe,' who have an odd annual festival of rebirth. During this rite, some of the tribe forget who they are and begin life anew. Laure, daughter of the institute's director, captivates photographer Nicola, and soon after they indulge their kinks for voyeurism and sexual freedom, they team up with Gualtier, an anthropologist, and his lover, Myrte. Mating with just about every attractive man and woman she meets in the sultry city of Manila, Laure is happy to join the jungle expedition. Awkward beefcake Al Cliver plays a filmmaker with his customary deadpan aplomb, and neither the anthropologist or his lover are safe from Laure's amorous attentions. Taboos are broken as Laure discovers more cultural norms to break in her determination to experience the ultimate pleasure. The sweaty action soon leads Laure to a native tribe where she engages in " the most shocking act of all," participating in the Mara tribe's rites."
