I'm certainly not that old but I could still clearly remember the days of Lito Lapid, Jestoni Alarcon, Ace Espinosa, Bong Revilla and so on.
Not that I like any of their movies. Its just that, I wonder what happened to action movies as the Philippine cinema is clearly dominated now by mushy love stories (title pa lang alam mo na ang ending) and horror stories. Even comedies are getting rare.
Is there no more market for tagalog action films? What ever happened to all those "action stars" who used to rule the silver screen?
Well, if they ever make action movies again, I just hope they would finally be creative with their titles. And please, the plot has been so generic.

The problem with our Action Movies is the death of the old generation of action idols. Wala na si Da King na laging gumagawa ng action.
Ang isa pa ay ang mga masyado nang replayed na plot. Nagsawa na ang tao. Kaya nga puro hollywood action films sa pirated DVD ang inaabangan ng mga tao eh.
Anyways problema naman pala yun sa buong Filipino movie industry. Wala nang bago.
I agree with the "masyado nang replayed na plot"...I think not only with the action movies, even in other genres.
Halos pabalik-balik na ang plot na simula pa lang alam mo na kung paano magtatapos...
What we need is a revolution inside the Filipino Movie Industry.
