'Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin' is a 2016 Filipino satirical comedy anthology film based on Bob Ong's 2011 book of the same name. It was directed by Mark Meily, Andoy Ranay and Chris Martinez starring Cristine Reyes, Maricel Soriano, Herbert Bautista, Antoinette Taus, Paolo Ballesteros, Jason Gainza, Candy Pangilinan, Benjie Paras and Shy Carlos. It was released on January 13, 2016.

The film parodies mainstream Filipino movies and television shows, as well as popular culture, while tackling several national issues at the same time.

Synopsis



'Bala Sa Bala, Kamao Sa Kamao, Satsat Sa Satsat'



The first film in the trilogy centers around Diego, an action star who wants to take revenge against a group of bad guys, also known as "Bandidos" (bandits), after they killed his parents, his wife, Ashley, and everyone who attended their wedding, just a few moments right after they get married at the beginning of the film. As the story unfolds, Diego, being an action star, gets into misadventures and finds himself in trouble-after-trouble. Unfortunately, Divina Tuazon, a famous actress and Diego's new found leading lady, was kidnapped by the Bandidos. Finally, in an abandoned warehouse (a setting where most of Pinoy action films' final scenes takes place), Diego tries to save Divina from the evil hands of Bandido's merciless and heartless leader named "Bos".

The plot generally follows themes from classic Filipino action movies, as well as comedy films from early 80's to 90's. For example, Diego's sidekicks, Dodoy and Momoy uses slapstick from time to time, a type of comedy which was very popular in the country for the past decades.

'Shake, Shaker, Shakest'



A middle-class family was forced to enter and stay in a white haunted house for several days after being stranded in an unfamiliar place after an old lady suddenly appeared in front of the car. The old lady was added in the story so that they have a reason to enter the haunted house. They were greeted by a good Indian dance production that ask them to find the possessed object before the next full moon, it starts with letter C and ends with letter R. Indian caretaker was added to introduce fresh ideas on horror movie, but audience usually do not like fresh ideas. The title is play on the 'Shake, Rattle & Roll' film series and the plot is a ludicrous horror film.

'Asawa ni Marie'



A rags-to-riches story about Marie, a poor girl who has a confusing status in life and love. The plot is similar to Philippine dramas/soap operas, particularly 'Marimar' and brands from commercial.
