Movie Titles with Double Meaning

In the October 7, 1997 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Nestor U. Torre discusses in his column, Viewfinder, double entendre titles of a number of Philippine movies. The emergence of these movie titles titillated the general public and scandalized the moralists.


A scanned image of the column follows:





I also took the license to suggest the following titles:


Ang Tikoy ... Malaki
Talong Ranger
Mga Hinog na Papaya
Sariwang Pinya

    I think it's actually due to the influence of Pinoy humor as well that we tend to associate movie titles with double-meanings. It's funny but it is also catchy and easy to recall.
