honestly, i think this scene needs tighter editing. it's not very thrilling. then again, it's just a short sequence and seeing it with the rest of the movie might change my mind.
this clip reinforced that police squads of 3rd world countries are HELPLESS. Police officers of US or UK, WILL NEVER be allowed to be depicted as loser. They are always RESPECTED in all american movies. Officers are NEVER shown being slapped/ cursed/ nor shown to be late or helpless to CRIMINALS. Yes, this is a movie / fiction , but these are one of teh resons why criminals in pinas are smarter than the police, why crimes/ kidnappings are never down, coz people dont respect the authorities
Have you ever watched Reno 911? Even Naked Gun and Beverly Hills Cop I don't think they are good films but they do depict incompetent cops. Pardon me, but there are a lot of movies that showed cops being slapped, cursed and displayed stupidity. Wag ka ngang etchosera.
Masyado ka nega. Mag-change ka nga kulay ng balat mo pati nationality mo. Sabagay, by the way you write things, given the option of choosing your skin color & nationality, for sure ayaw mong maging Filipino. Too. Bad. You. Are. A. Filipino. People like you pulls down the country's image further down the brink. Pwes, don't watch the film!
Hindi ka ata nanonood ng sine. Madaming pelikula ang mga bansang binanggit mo na nagpapakita rin ng pagkatalo ng mga pulis sa mga kriminal na kanilang tinutuligsa. Subukan mo naman manood ng ibang pelikula minsan. O kaya dahil puring-puri mo ang mga pulis sa lugar na binanggit mo, doon ka manirahan. Tama ang isang nagsabi ng saloobin dito... Ang mga tulad mo ang mas lalong humihila pababa sa bansa natin. Ikaw ang dapat mahiya sa sinabi mo.
i am not pulling the image down, pls, bilangin nyo ang deaths coz of car accidents/ snatcher/ patayan sa ISANG episode ng TV patrol, the number of victims in ONE WEEK, now sa colorado , wala pang 15 ang namatay pero BIG deal yan, pero sa pinas, parang wala lang, ordinaryo na ang mabangga at mapatay ng bus, yung victim pa ang nakikiusap na tulungan sila, that , anonymous, is the result of being expose to lawlessness, when killing and death makes one numb and just an ordinary event
I guess you have not seen Training Day or Street Kings? Or passed by Compton,South Central where gangsters don't give a crap about your US popos'/pigs!
Oh please. Ilang pelikulang PINOY na ba ang may eksenang nakagulapay na ang mga masasamang-loob sa lapag at nag-kissing scene na ang action star at ang leading lady, bago darating pa lang ang mga kapulisan at saka sisigaw ng "TAAS ANG MGA KAMAY!"
Kung maka- third world ka naman oo. Eh kung ang pinakita naman sa pelikula eh efficient and magaling na pulis, for sure naman ang comment mo ganito: ang layo sa reality ng actual police world situation ng isang third world country!
Hay naku... Ikaw na. Nothing will please you. Mag-migrate ka na nga ng malaman mo pano ang 'real world' sa mga ina-idolize mong bansa. Tingnan ko lang kung ano naman reaction mo pag may nag-comment sayo ng ganito: brown american or brown monkey. Mapuri mo pa kaya sila?
Go to NYC, crime rates are the same as the Philippines. Go to other states, you get the same story. Ang problema kasi sobra ka makatingala, di mo naman alam. What you know is only what you see on TV. Not everything is aired. I once stayed at a university where the crime rates would rival that of UPLB's. The seemingly serene surroundings often bear witness to violent crimes. Get your facts straight.
Ikaw, have you been to UK? Madaming krimem ang hindi na ilalathala, I know cause I stayed there for more than a year. Walang kwenta ka pulisan dun. Nanakawan nga aq ng bike wala lang sa kanila binigyan lang ako ng report para daw sa insurance they didnt even bother to investigate yung carer na suspect ko na nagnakaw since he was the only person left when I went back to my room. Isa pa kapag nag riot na mga briton wala na magawa kapulisan. Research first before you claim something.
You should read crime reports from the US, ang daming serial killers don na hindi rin nahuli ng mga pulis nila. US cop movies may depict them as efficient, glamorous even, pero sa totoong buhay parang mga pulis lang din natin sila na may shortcomings.
yes, puro ganoon ang balita sa mga news but that doesn't necessarily mean na ganoon LANG ang nangyayari. Hindi lang kasi naibabalita yung mga kabaligtaran nung mga yon. Madami din naman for sure na nasosolve na kaso pero hindi nga lang nabibigyang focus kasi mas kinocover ng media yung mga mas tragc. Gets? So sana, wag mo naman masyado i-down ang Pilipinas.
kukumpara mo pa crime rate sa ibang bansa?! e kahit saan naman may krimen! ang problema lang kasi minsan sa media natin imbis na maganda ibalita puro panget binabalita kaya yung mga tangang tulad mo kala tuloy sa pilipinas walang magandang nangyayari!
Because the protagonists were *supposed* to be hiding in as nondescript and tightly-packed an environment as possible. Ano gusto mo, mag-hideout sila sa Makati Shangri-la Hotel, teh?
Oh it's cause you've been to Somalia? Where there are dying kids on the streets...India? where there are rats in the temple because rats are considered "gods." Better yet look at yourself and then you can say ugly!:)
o Anonymous 12:24pm Really?! Ako sasagot sa tanong mo? ANG YABANG MO, kung maka ugly ka sa MANILA! I've been to Europe and other parts of Asia including HK, Macau, Singapore. etc. Ok dun tayo sa pinaka mayamanan UK, ugly kamo sa Manila? Have you been to LONDON? parang manila din yan, may part na pangit at part na maganda! Gusto mo iikot kita kung saan, cguraduhin mo lang may visa ka at pera ha?!
@Anon 2:24 am: Apparently, the word 'context' is totally unfamiliar to you. If you had read the novel this movie was based on, then you would have realized that the setting is what the plot called for. So hindi kailangan ng hinahanap mong maganda o malinis o maluwag; otherwise, it would have gone against the story. Wag más marunong pa sa movie makers, hane?
If travelling to hundred and more countries is susyal to you, then not to me.
To the one saying that he'll bring me to London as long as i have a Visa, as ived said i need no visa since i work for UN and i earn in dollars fyi
To the other one saying that i am a flight attendant, whats wrong with that? Why do u have to add the word whore? FA's are a decent job and u have no right to label them as such..
You guys started this. It was a simple opinion that turned into a dirty mess. You started to question my credibility which i just answered back. I did not parade my class so to speak here...
Thats where the problem lies. People likes to sarcastically and when you start to answer them back, they will tell u that u are delusional and a poser....
Again for the record, please telll me my geo location so everybody will know who is telling the truth...
I'm not the IT person, but I bet alam nyang nasa isang computer shop ka, nagmamadali dahil tinatawag ka na ng amo mo... pinabili ka lang kasi ng suka, tumakas ka para magbasa ng FP sa isang rentahan ng internet. Bwahaha! Ate, uwi na... hanap ka na ng amo mo!
Yes it's true, the streets are very dirty and corruption is everywhere. people are poor and not very healthy. education is bad too. but then, when in the philippines, one's perspective changes. these negative attributes become reminders of how much we should cherish life. how we should make every minute fun while we're at it.
Palengkera. Mahinang grammar. Chipipay. Eto na ba ang mga requirements ngayon para makapag-trabaho sa UN? If you got something to prove, state your full name and give references, para di ka mukhang master ilusyonada!
Know what? When I read the original poster's comments, nainis din ako. But then, reading through the responses, he/she is right in saying that your reactions are very telling of what is wrong with our country. Don't get me wrong, I love the Philippines and have never even given a thought to leaving even if I had the means. He/she is right that Manila IS ugly in some parts... physically. What makes our country beautiful is the people in it, us Filipinos and how warm and just generally nice we are compared to other cultures. Also, that's just Manila, and just parts of it at that. Forget the person who said it, focus on the message and learn from it -- that Manila needs a lot of work. If we deny that there are some ugly aspects to it, then who will act to improve it? The Philippines is so naturally beautiful, it's man who's made it ugly and so man who should work to bring back its glory.
Sweetie, if you really work for the UN, you would know that "third world" isn't used anymore. The term is now "developing."
I'm not 7:28, but please note that you have a problem with subject-verb agreement, run-on sentences, punctuation and consistency of tenses. I would "correct you verbatim" (this phrase is all sorts of wrong so please refrain from saying/writing it again) but I got halfway through the corrections before I developed a headache. Sige na, ikaw na ang magaling mag-English.
Yes, Manila looks ugly in the movie because that was what the plot called for --the ugly parts of Manila, to conform to the CONTEXT of the film, like what someone pointed out. If you qualified your comment, then maybe people wouldn't be so quick to criticize you. I just wish that even while you and other Pinoys based abroad criticize our country, you do it constructively kasi just bashing arbitrarily makes you sound like an arrogant prick. And if you can dish it out, be prepared to take it as well.
Sya, kainin mo na yang dollars mo, Mr./Ms. NYC, baka sakaling umayos pa ang grammar mo.
Ate poser, eto ang mga maling grammar mo, copy-and-paste mode. And you are asking someone to do the dirty job for you? Please. Mataas ang standards ng UN. The agency won't hire someone who speaks English poorly and types on the computer that way.
I ved been to 100 countries and currently lives in New York - WRONG!
I live and works for UN New York - WRONG!!
i am dying to know wheres my geo location is - WRONG!!!
My colleagues from other 3rd world countries doesnt react that way - WRONG!!!!
People likes to sarcastically and when you start to answer them back - WRONG!!!!!
3rd world and/or developing countries can either be used too. Hello guys obviously the latter is more politically correct but then again, be real! This is a casual thread. You just all cant accept the fact that some people are better than you....
@ Anon 2:36 A job title makes one better than everyone else? Really? Uhm okay. Nice to know your parents and education reared a very balanced sense of self-worth in you.
Nag ge-generalize lang? Hello, check mo muna yung "technically" na sinasabi mo. Tanong mo muna sa mga pulis, mas alam nila na TECHNICALITY tawag dyan ;)
I agree dapat Makati na lang capital ng Pilipinas. Yung Manila parang isang malaking kubeta - puno ng basura, squatters, kriminals, mga taong nakatira sa ilalim ng tulay, mga left overs ng ibang cities sa Metro Manila. Kung may city na mas maipagmamalaki it's Makati - business center ng Pilipinas. Eh yung Manila ano bang center yan? Center of Poverty.
True. Manila used to be the seat of government in its glory days. But then it might be time for a change, since the economic power now resides in Makati. If the country isn't amenable to that kind of change, then restore Manila to its former beauty. An old city does not mean it has to look its age. She now looks like an old lady left alone and uncared for, and that is a painful reality.
Like! Galing ng stunts and editing. Yung mga nega commenters dyan, wala naman pinakitang na-late ang pulis ah. Kung maka-lait naman kayo dyan. Eh di kayo ang mag-pulis king tingin niyo bobo sila. Matalino kayo diba?
Majority of the lower class people including homeless and people with no rightful address are found in Quezon City not Manila. 73% of them are residing in Luzon, 13% in Visayas and 14% in Mindanao. Source: PAS Survey #facts
You shopuld watch the other scenes, ang liit lang ng scene na yan compare sa habulan along Ramon Magsaysay Blvd up to the LRT2 in Sta.Mesa, mas astig yun..
please watch Constantine of Keanu Reeves, the possessed person said "papatayin natin sila" or something like that, pangit nga lang pakinggan kasi para naging salita ng demonyo ung dialogue in Filipino, :)
You also might want to check out Big Fish. Yung puppeteer sa isang show while Ewan McGregor / Ed Bloom was parachuting, Tagalog yung salita nya even though Vietnam(?) yung location.
Like, in fairness pinakita local police in full battle gear, it showed that Filipino police have modern equipment, like a real gun hehehe the person na nagrereklamo na pangit ang Manila, hindi pipiliin ng producers ng Bourne Legacy if Manila looked like NY, eh di sana they didn't bother to come to the Philippines if they are looking at making movies in a nice place, they went to Manila presicely because of how Manila look like, ano palagay bakit nagshooting sila sa Pilipinas? para makita ka? duh!
Tumpak! E pano yung iba nag eexpect na pag may foreign film na shinot dito sa pinas e mag-aala it's more fun in the philippines ang movie! Duh! Trabaho ng gobyerno natin na i-promote ang tourism. Wag iasa sa hollywood, kc more often than not they shoot here for its slums at magulong setting!
Bakit ba andami nagagalit kapag sinasabing panget ang Manila? Eh kung sa panget naman talaga eh? Pero although panget, Manila still has something that attracts a lot of foreigners. Di naman kasi lahat ng magaganda eh may dating. Parang tao lang, di ba?
Hello ang yayabang na mga tao dito! Why do u have to brag about what you have? Eh hindi naman yun an tinatanong? Hay nako naman! Fp please don't publish nonsense comments, waste of time. Porker naka anonymous ang tatapang! At ang yayabang!

Hahaha! Nakaka-aliw magbasa ng mga comments nyo about the movie at about the Philippines! Ok naman ung scene! LIKE! Bangong style sa pagpatay sa kalaban...True naman kahit ano pa ang nationality, basta kalaban, PNP or FBI pa yan, napapatay ng bida. =)

ReplyDeleteplease watch Constantine of Keanu Reeves, the possessed person said "papatayin natin sila" or something like that, pangit nga lang pakinggan kasi para naging salita ng demonyo ung dialogue in Filipino, :)
DeleteYou also might want to check out Big Fish. Yung puppeteer sa isang show while Ewan McGregor / Ed Bloom was parachuting, Tagalog yung salita nya even though Vietnam(?) yung location.
DeleteLike, in fairness pinakita local police in full battle gear, it showed that Filipino police have modern equipment, like a real gun hehehe
ReplyDeletethe person na nagrereklamo na pangit ang Manila, hindi pipiliin ng producers ng Bourne Legacy if Manila looked like NY, eh di sana they didn't bother to come to the Philippines if they are looking at making movies in a nice place, they went to Manila presicely because of how Manila look like, ano palagay bakit nagshooting sila sa Pilipinas? para makita ka? duh!
Tumpak! E pano yung iba nag eexpect na pag may foreign film na shinot dito sa pinas e mag-aala it's more fun in the philippines ang movie! Duh! Trabaho ng gobyerno natin na i-promote ang tourism. Wag iasa sa hollywood, kc more often than not they shoot here for its slums at magulong setting!
Deletevonggah kaya!
ReplyDeletesana kung may trailer pa yung mga scenes naman sa palawan. ;)
ReplyDeleteCool... kitang kita ang PH settings... pero sana mas naging mabilis at naging maaction ung scene.. mejo mabagal pero ok na dn
ReplyDeleteBakit ba andami nagagalit kapag sinasabing panget ang Manila? Eh kung sa panget naman talaga eh? Pero although panget, Manila still has something that attracts a lot of foreigners. Di naman kasi lahat ng magaganda eh may dating. Parang tao lang, di ba?
ReplyDeleteoo nga...parang ikaw lang hahaha
Deleteeh hindi naman tinatanong ni FP kung ano opinyon mo sa Manila, tinatanong kung like mo o hindi yong scene na pinakita!

ReplyDeletePalengkera. Mahinang grammar. Chipipay. Eto na ba ang mga requirements ngayon para makapag-trabaho sa UN? If you got something to prove, state your full name and give references, para di ka mukhang master ilusyonada!
ReplyDeleteokay lng ung scene...pero sana yung sinigaw nilang "HINTO!, HINTO!" eh inenglish nila...hndi talaga hihinto yun... :P
ReplyDeletepara akong nanood ng tagalog action movie na may dalawang westerner na artista!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Nakaka-aliw magbasa ng mga comments nyo about the movie at about the Philippines! Ok naman ung scene! LIKE! Bangong style sa pagpatay sa kalaban...True naman kahit ano pa ang nationality, basta kalaban, PNP or FBI pa yan, napapatay ng bida. =)
