When I
was young, there was this art film that captivated the lives of kids of all
ages.
The
name of the film was Kabayo Kids.
Voted
as one of the top 100 Philippine movies of
1990 (this includes wedding videos, JS proms, and birthday parties in fast
food outlets), this is a story of three horse lovers who became super heroes
after meeting with Richie D’ Horsie.
Yes...
this is a horse movie with Richie D’ Horsie.
But
don’t mistake this with Roderick Paulate’s
Petrang Kabayo. The movie stars the legendary trio of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon. While Petrang Kabayo
happened because of Roderick’s character’s arrogance, they became superheroes
because they wanted to destroy a syndicate.
Just
like in Bioman, Tito, Vic, and Joey
transform into neon-dressed characters. Tito becomes Orange Juice, Vic becomes Green
Mango, and Joey transforms into Yellow
Banana.
Unlike
similar movies of that generation, they are original enough to branch out of
singing and dancing in front of the beach...
... Because
they’ll just do their singing and dancing riding toy horses.
Anyway,
what the point of this?
Just
when you think the Kabayo Kids is zany, wait ‘til you see this clip.
Bioman
is a worldwide hit. Not only did the Americans copied it with the Power Rangers and that Tattooed Teenage Samurai Squad shit
back in the 90’s, but the French also did something close to this.
But to
make it original, instead of having five masked missionaries, they only have
three. Yes, three seriously demented human beings who looked odd, combined live
action crime-fighting with silliness.
And fortunately
for us, Youtube uploader Dirtydoug saw the clip, Tagalized it,
and made it awesome.
Game
over!
