KAKABAKABA
KA BA? was a comeback film of sort for LVN after being inactive
for several years. This satirical comedy-musical focuses on
two pairs of lovers who get caught in the crossfire between dope-trading
Japanese and Chinese agents.  |  |  | Perky cast includes Christopher
de Leon, Charo Santos, Jay Ilagan and Sandy Andolong, as the
lovers being hounded by the Japanese traders in order to recover
an opium ingeniously hidden in a cassette tape that landed in
the pocket of De Leon. | | Running
for their lives, the lovers reach Baguio and enter a church for
refuge, only to find out that it is the Japanese dope-traders'
headquarter, where fake nuns and priests are used for the distribution
of opium. |  | | Delgado, second from right
won the URIAN Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Japanese
syndicate ring leader. |  |  |  | Uproarious fight
ensues when the Chinese agents penetrate the Japanese headquarter.
With
the mad chase over, lovers decide to get married.
Undoubtedly, one of the finest Filipino comedy films ever
made, KAKABAKABA KA BA? is refreshing, literate, and very engrossing.
It says more about our society than many of the so-called important
films of recent vintage. In fact, it "was considered by critics
as one of the landmark films of the 1980's in its absurd, comical,
and irreverent treatment of an otherwise serious theme about
foreign control of the Philippine economy
had to hurdle the
censors, who originally sought to ban the fil m for its alleged
racist attacks against the Japanese and the Chinese." [CCP Encyclopedia:
Film] This clever satire with appropriate music, handsome
production, and superb performances won the URIAN Awards for
Best Director, Supporting Actor (Delgado), Editing, Music, and
Sound. NOTES:
