Ask any Filipino and you have little chance of finding someone who don't have an idea about "Ang Panday" (The Blacksmith). This Carlo Caparas opus tells the story of a blacksmith named Flavio (portrayed by Fernando Poe Jr.) who saw a meteor. When it fell to earth, he forged a sword out of the meteorite.
The meteor turned out to be a harbinger of the sinister events to come. The evil force is led by Lizardo (played by mainstay villain Max Alvarado). Flavio wields his sword against Lizardo's minions, and ultimately against Lizardo himself.
"Ang Panday" is the first of a series of Flavio's exploits. The anthology won both critical and commercial acclaim especially during the yearly Metro Manila Film Festival. Offshoots, including an animated and live-action TV series, sprang as a result. During Fernando Poe Jr.'s(FPJ) campaign for the presidency, he used the moniker "Panday". No wonder, the movie reasserted FPJ's permanent mark on Filipino popular culture.

Dolphy is the Philippines' comedy king and he is known for making spoofs of hit Hollywood films. Tataynic is one of those. The movie was produced during the time Titanic was making its successful run in Philippine theaters.
Tataynic is derived from the words Tatay Nic (Daddy Nic), the name of the main character played by Dolphy. The setting is - you guessed it right - a luxury liner !!! Unfortunately, the movie didn't match its Hollywood counterpart's popularity. The comedy aside from being outdated, is also peppered with a plethora of uncalled for musical numbers.
I hope that a more sensible comedy film would be produced in the future.
