Title: Filipino BATMAN AND ROBIN (UPDATE - I watched it . . . ugh!) Post by: The Burgomaster on April 01, 2010, 12:44:34 PM Oh, boy. I just ordered this DVD-R from Video Search of Miami. I've never seen this movie, but it looks like it will be one of the most enjoyable bad movies ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wygrQ1rYeAQ After all my years of research into obscure, low-budget movies from around the world, this makes me wonder how much more great (awful) stuff is out there that I don't know about.

I've often wondered about that.

But I will watch it. Very intriguing! Title: Re: Filipino BATMAN AND ROBIN Post by: SPazzo on April 01, 2010, 07:45:18 PM I need to see this movie. It just looks so...... amazing! :teddyr:
Let us know how it is when you see it Burgo, I want to know whether it's worth it to buy or not. Title: Re: Filipino BATMAN AND ROBIN Post by: Psycho Circus on April 04, 2010, 05:54:40 PM Just wait 'til you see the ending! :bouncegiggle:
Title: Re: Filipino BATMAN AND ROBIN Post by: The Burgomaster on April 10, 2010, 02:23:32 PM UPDATE: Well, I just watched it. The movie is not in English (although, they do occasionally say a few words in English such as, "Batman. Robin. My heroes!" and "Good morning, everybody.") There aren't even any subtitles, so you're on your own!
Here's what I could decipher from the plot: Two guys decide to dress up as the Penguin and Joker and rob a cash shipment from the Treasury. A high school student who loves comic books hears about the robbery and decides to become Robin and fight crime. His (father? older brother? friend? - - I couldn't quite figure out the relationship) agrees to become Batman and join him. The rest of the movie is a series of comic bank heists (in one scene, the Penguin and Joker mistakenly target a blood bank for a robbery) and fights and every once in a while the actors break out in a musical song-and-dance routine! One song on the soundtrack is a parody of "Surfin' Safari" by the Beach Boys. Some of the lyrics are: "Holy smokes, Batman and Robin! Oh my God, Batman and Robin! Praise the Lord, Batman and Robin!" The Bat Cave set looks like it's left over from an old Sid & Marty Croft Saturday morning show like THE LOST SAUCER or FAR OUT SPACE NUTS. At the end, the entire cast and a bunch of other people dressed as superheroes (including a midget in a Spider-Man costume) sing and dance to a parody of "At the Hop." (You can see this on YouTube). I can't really recommend this movie . . . it isn't funny or wacky enough to ever be a cult favorite . . . and the heroes and villains don't appear on screen enough . . . but it's okay. The quality of the DVD-R I bought from Video Search of Miami is significantly better than the YouTube clip I posted at the beginning of this discussion, but it's far from perfect. It looks like a 3rd generation VHS tape copied onto a DVD-R. Very watchable, but slightly fuzzy and there are 8 or 10 brief dropouts (about 1 second each . . . nothing significant) during the movie. Watch it if you dare. |
