Scorpio Nights 3

I watched both the original classic Filipino adult film as well as Erik Matti's 1999 version which is why my expectations for this movie is quite high. My own conclusions on the film are kind of mixed.

The choice for the lead role is played by newcomer Gold Aceron who approaches his character as this sex obsessed nerd. The guy actually comes off as too nerdy and geeky though maybe this was the deliberate intention of the director as many horny teenagers are more like Aceron (who looks like an internet cafe dwelling incel). The simulated sex is pretty realistic and makes one ask if there was actual penetration involved like the old notorious films of George Estregan Sr.

It's definitely not a movie for the church going crowd as there's a lot of kinky activity going on. Unlike the original though, it's not a very unified movie. The band scenes for example are very out of place and doesn't match the overall tone of the film. It still doesn't touch the original film but is a passable send-off to the great maker of local indie porno, Peque Gallaga.
