honestly, I cringed when I saw the footage of Manny’s Filipino film venture in the most recent HBO “24-7″ series leading up to last weekend’s gory Pacquiao vs Cotto fight. It looked beyond embarrassing. But now watching the finished trailer…it looks more campy than clown-y. And according to ChannelAPA, the “Wapakman” satire is being compared to Stephen Chow’s ‘Kung Fu Hustle,” which (along with my other Chow favorites, like “God of Cookery” and “Shaolin Soccer,”) was hilarious and fun. We’ll see, but that’s setting the bar super high. Either way, the contrast of Pacman the deadly weapon vs Manny the karaoke-singer, always cracks me up.

(ps: also, Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls is in the movie too…..um. random)
