The film parodies mainstream Filipino movies and television shows, as well as popular culture, while tackling several national issues at the same time.

Synopsis

Bala Sa Bala, Kamao Sa Kamao, Satsat Sa Satsat

The first film in the trilogy centers around Diego, an action star who wants to take revenge against a group of bad guys, also known as "Bandidos" (bandits), after they killed his parents, his wife, Ashley, and everyone who attended their wedding, just a few moments right after they get married at the beginning of the film. As the story unfolds, Diego, being an action star, gets into misadventures and finds himself in trouble-after-trouble. Unfortunately, Divina Tuazon, a famous actress and Diego's new found leading lady, was kidnapped by the Bandidos. Finally, in an abandoned warehouse (a setting where most of Pinoy action films' final scenes takes place), Diego tries to save Divina from the evil hands of Bandido's merciless and heartless leader named "Bos".

The plot generally follows themes from classic Filipino action movies, as well as comedy films from early 80's to 90's. For example, Diego's sidekicks, Dodoy and Momoy uses slapstick from time to time, a type of comedy which was very popular in the country for the past decades.

Shake, Shaker, Shakest

A middle-class family was forced to enter and stay in a white haunted house for several days after being stranded in an unfamiliar place. The title is play on the Shake, Rattle & Roll film series and the plot is a ludicrous horror film.

Asawa ni Marie

A rags-to-riches story about Marie, a poor girl who has a confusing status in life and love. The plot is similar to Philippine dramas/ soap operas, particularly Marimar and brands from commercial.

Asawa ni Marie
gollark: In the end, *someone* has to be.
gollark: (Inevitably, though, I'd end up spending ages agonizing over to cooperate or defect and just get eaten)
gollark: I'd quite like to be able to get upside-down mints.
gollark: It'd be *harder* to make them different on the lineage and view pages!
gollark: It's because of some misguided notion of "fairness" or whatever that they aren't.
