CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with Plasticman , a similarly powered hero from America LASTIK , historical nemesis ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** "The No. 1 Blockbuster Movie of 2003" Yes, Madam! ("Ang Bagong Bayan ng super hero" means roughly "the new superhero local" or "the newest superhero Filipino"). Gradually, film after film, we refine our knowledge of Filipino superheroes in general, and those born under the pen of cartoonist Mars Ravelo in particular. Thus, after the characters of Darna and Captain Barbell is the turn of the superhero Lastikman to be honored on Nanarland. If a decal is the first Filipino Wonder Woman and the second a cross between Superman and Captain Marvel, Lastikman has it all looks like a nice cut and paste of Plastic Man, the character created by the publisher Quality Comics (then integrated with DC Comics), which has the ability to stretch and shape his body at will. Lastikman this indeed exactly the same characteristics. I first made ​​the connection with Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, the Fantastic 4 , until my colleague Nikita, an unrepentant lover of comic books, does not give me his lighting scholar: in addition to the proximity patronymic ( Plastic Man / Lastikman), the look, the powers of transformation (which are broader than those of Mr. Fantastic) and personality Lastikman fun to correspond much more to Plastic Man (as Reed Richards / Mr Fantastic is not the kind rather funny). In short, all that to say that the "creations" of Mars Ravelo have been under strong influence and that the habit of copying the big American hits is not limited to the movies. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Reed Richards, better known under the name Mr. Fantastic, a member of the Fantastic 4 . ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Plastic Man. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** An album "one-shot" of Lastikman released in December 2004 at Mango Comics. While Darna and Captain Barbell has been the subject of many adaptations to film, he has Lastikman more scarce on the screens, probably because of technical constraints implied by the animation of such a character. It seems that there is a black and white version from 1968 which we dare hardly imagine what it might look like. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The first appearance of the character in 1964 Aliwan Komiks. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** This IS Being Converted video file for playback.

So when Viva Films and Premiere Productions (firm Cirio H. Santiago , found executive producer) are implementing a new Captain Barbell (Viva Films seems to hold the rights - they already had the fabulous 1986 version ) OctoArts Films and M-Zet TV Production fold them on an adaptation of Lastikman. As nothing is simple, it often happens in the comics like in the movies, the characters created by Mars Ravelo cross during their adventures, and Lastikman Darna make a cameo in the 2003 version of Captain Barbell on time to help it to beat up some bad guys ... in a dream. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Lastikman, played by Christopher "PJ" Malonzo in the film "Captain Barbell" dating from 2003. This 2003 version of Captain Barbell, without going to consider that it would not deserve its place on Nanarland we have published the whole disappointing, with not compare (as nanar course) with the festival of any What had been the kitsch 1986 adaptation of which we retain a memory as vivid than moved. Even well below those of American productions, special effects remained to be honest about the weakness of the film finally remained languid pace, the director Mac C. Alejandre delivering a superhero film talkative almost 2 hours (well, having seen the film in original version without subtitles Tagalog does not have me help to find the time shorter). So it is with enthusiasm rather moderate than I threw a look at what Lastikman released the same year. The only surprise has been the best! ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** It is latex and saves lives every day, ladies and gentlemen here is the preserve ... uh, sorry, Lastikman! Devote a few lines in history: in the original paper, Lastikman was the last representative of a race of extraterrestrial bodies naturally elastic, stranded on Earth and sentenced to remain there, decided to fight evil. In this 2003 film, however, Lastikman is basically a simple human being, Hilario aka Larry, who accidentally gets his powers when a meteorite hits the rubber tree (tree rubber producer) next to which he was. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The genesis of a superhero comic-book ... Teenage orphan, bespectacled and bullied, our Philippine Peter Parker is first hands on the raw of his high school before deciding to put his super powers for the right, just to honor the memory of his deceased parents. As an adult, and he shares his time between his activities honorable professor of physics and vigilante super elastic. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Thus, during the two-thirds of the film, Lastikman beats up the villain and flies to the rescue of bimbos at a rate surprisingly sustained a Philippine production. Then comes the inevitable deus ex machina: following a misunderstanding, the rubber man falls out of favor with the media and part of the public (like Spiderman, what). Meanwhile, the puppy Jepoy (Jeffrey Quezon), a student of Hilario ignoring the double identity of his teacher, is a super tackle tinkering at the touch of three computers. He too was a bespectacled nerd bullied, now he will pay the hostility in the world that he has shown as the Stryker. In short, a delicate job and a scenario Lastikman transparent end to end for the viewer. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The genesis of a comic-book villain ... Let's not beat around the bush any longer: yes, Lastikman is ranked among the nanar dépotent that, mainly due to a relatively brisk pace and sequence-based special effects have dated who, fortunately, abound. From the intro scene, the viewer has the right to caricature what sauce Filipino action cinema of the late 90's was able to invent more and more flashy show-off saw: the bullet time . This concept is overused already outrageous at the base, is seen here in fact led to the unintentional parody pure and simple: imagine endless bursts of bullets poorly embedded scrolling around a hero bantering with the sound of cruise missiles. Can you imagine evil? So take a look at the excerpt of this sequence suggested in the video tab. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Just as the land of the blind eyed man is king, the Philippines Lastikman proudly adorned the term " blockbuster ". Presentation on the international market, however, the film might think of a production Nu Image beginnings. Of course, since the 80 Filipinos have made progress in sacred special effects, but when we keep in mind that Lastikman date of 2003 and we look back at Sam Raimi's Spiderman, we say they have good have come a long way, Manila still has the same number of subway cars behind Hollywood 20 years ago. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Technique is very cheap in terms of special effects: digital zoom! Basically you film a character on a blue or green (by Stryker), it embeds in a given plane, and it enlarges or shrinks on the (zoom in / zoom out) to enhance the illusion of movement. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** I tend to distinguish between two types of film special effects failures: those who have clearly ashamed of their effects and attempt to minimize their use (like monster movie showing only 3 minutes a creature that the public will be expected for one hour and thirty, and still by far the filming in the dark), and those who do not care because they are satisfied with their effects, or just uninhibited, and the coup do not mind rich sequences align visual arts in a crock. Lastikman clearly belongs to this second category, an essential anchor, with the question of rhythm, often distinguishes a good nanar a large turnip. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The film then goes on without the time-out set pieces which are elastic man take any form imaginable - from the bicycle wheel to the trampoline through the beach ball - and perform with panache and a nanardise which firing on all cylinders, his superhero routine. A true jubilation! ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The film takes an extra dimension with the arrival of the evil-despite her Stryker. Kind of mixture between the Green Goblin (the mode of transport - Spiderman would definitely looted shamelessly) and bassist Gene Simmons of Kiss (for the next "frenzied hysteria"), the character embodied by Jeffrey Quezon is a patented model ultra-insane histrionics. The actor was already a ton in the role of the student very nerd Jepoy: yet it was just a warm-up, a vulgar put-in-mouth. We must wait to see his camp alter ego evil Stryker to be fully aware: look hallucinated like "I'm sick" on Brad Dourif, facial expressions and gestures at the Louis de Funès in speed, perpetual sneers and screams ... no doubt that there is yet another serious candidate is under world champion surjeu. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** However, I'm not going Baratin, as a peddler of nanar, trying to pass Lastikman for an object of ultimate competition to Turkish Star Wars : he has probably not yet fully the material (or the clothes). But nanar sharing with the wines they improve with time, we expect that the potential of this very promising corny film reaches full maturity in a few years. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Well done then to director Tony Y. Reyes to be able to provide that, unlike a local expertise in some tackiness, is too often lacking in Filipino productions: a minimum of PACE. The filmography of the director specializing in parodies stretches in a long list of titles colorful (Once Upon a Time in Manila, Bobocop, Starzan, Goosebuster, and the SuperMouse Roborats, Ali in Wonderland etc... Etc.) that n have never had the honor of an exit here, even on video. After Lastikman, Tony Y. Reyes pick up on another superhero movie, Fantastic Man, always with Vic Sotto in the title role, but who is reputed to have special effects much less "successful" than Lastikman dream ... we obviously get their hands it! ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Note that there is a new adaptation of the adventures of Elastic man out only a year later, in 2004, the rival studio Viva Films. Titled "Mars Ravelo's Lastikman: Unang Banat", there are commands to Mac C. Alejandre (director of Captain Barbell version 2003) and Mark Bautista in the title role. Apparently after the success of their film in 2003, OctoArts Films and M-Zet TV Production would not have managed to maintain the rights of the character to launch a sequel. The heirs of Mars Ravelo have indeed claimed the studios $ 1.5 million Philippine pesos (approximately € 25,000 with the current exchange rate), Viva Films amount appears to have paid since their title is well before name of the designer. ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** The 2004 version of Lastikman produced by Viva Films ... ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ... With the young boy Mark Bautista in the title role. Finally, note that like Darna and Captain Barbell , Lastikman has also been entitled to his TV series from 2007, with Vhong Navarro in the title role, a popular actor in the Philippines among others saw in Gagamboy (a parody of Spiderman), D'Anothers or the disappointing Agent X44, recovery mode parodic adventures of the famous secret agent played by Tony Falcon in Sabotage (see the addendum of this column on this subject). ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** ** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE ** Lastikman 2007 TV series version, with Vhong Navarro. avatar John Nada: 3.75 avatar Mayone Mayone: 3.5 avatar LABROCHE LABROCHE: 4 avatar Wallflowers Wallflowers: 3 avatar Rico Rico: 3.5 Average: 3.55 Contact: webmaster@nanarland.com © 2001-2011 nanarland.com Posted by Andthings Limbs Mark Campbell viewed times this Filed under: French Posterous Video funny Nanarland 0 responses Like Follow ...

The next "Modern Age" Lastikman comicbook will be a 52-Page "one-shot" comic to be released December 2004 by Mango Comics in time for the new "Lastikman" movie starring Mark Bautista (see below).

Vic Sotto as Lastikman

Lastikman has also been adapted for the cinema; in 2003 he was to seen in "Lastikman", starring Vic Sotto in the title role, and Jun Asidera wrote in to tell me of an earlier outing in the 1968 when Von Serna played the part.

And it seems like Lastikman movies are a bit like buses - none for ages, then three come along all at once.

Director Mac Alejandre directed the 2003 Captain Barbell starring Bong Revilla.

The 2004 movie is officially titled as Mars Ravelo's Lastikman: Unang Banat.

** PLEASE DESCRIBE THIS IMAGE **
"The No. 1 Blockbuster Movie of 2003", oui Madame ! ("Ang bagong super hero ng bayan" signifie grosso modo "le nouveau super héros local" ou "le dernier né des super héros philippins").

Peu à peu, film après film, nous affinons nos connaissances sur les super héros philippins en général, et ceux nés sous la plume du dessinateur Mars Ravelo en particulier. Ainsi, après les personnages de Darna et de Captain Barbell, c'est au tour du super héros Lastikman d'être mis à l'honneur sur Nanarland. Si la première est un décalque philippin de Wonder Woman et le second un croisement entre Superman et Captain Marvel, Lastikman a lui tout l'air d'un beau copié-collé de Plastic Man, ce personnage créé par l'éditeur Quality Comics (puis intégré à DC Comics) qui a la faculté d'étirer et de modeler son corps à volonté. Lastikman présente en effet rigoureusement les mêmes caractéristiques. J'avais d'abord fait le rapprochement avec Reed Richards alias Mr. Fantastic, des 4 Fantastiques, jusqu'à ce que mon collègue Nikita, amateur impénitent de comics, ne m'apporte son éclairage d'érudit : outre la proximité patronymique (Plastic Man / Lastikman), le look, les pouvoirs de transformation (qui sont plus étendus que ceux de Mr Fantastic) et la personnalité de rigolo de Lastikman correspondent beaucoup plus à Plastic Man (alors que Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic est plutôt du genre pas drôle). Bref, tout ça pour dire que les "créations" de Mars Ravelo ont toujours été sous forte influence et que la manie de copier les gros succès américains ne se limite pas au cinéma.

Alors que Darna et Captain Barbell ont fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptations au cinéma, Lastikman s'est lui fait plus rare sur les écrans, probablement à cause des contraintes techniques qu'impliquent l'animation d'un tel personnage. Il semble pourtant qu'il existe une version en noir et blanc datant de 1968 dont on n'ose à peine imaginer à quoi elle peut ressembler.

En 2003, pour surfer sur la vague des films de super héros qui bat son plein aux Etats-Unis avec les Hulk, Spiderman, X-Men et autres Daredevil, les studios philippins se lancent dans la réadaptation avec effets spéciaux numériques Made in Manila de leurs propres héros de comics pinoy. Ainsi, lorsque Viva Films et Premiere Productions (la firme de Cirio H. Santiago, qu'on retrouve producteur exécutif) mettent en chantier un nouveau Captain Barbell (Viva Films semblant détenir les droits – on leur devait déjà la fabuleuse version de 1986), OctoArts Films et M-Zet TV Production se rabattent eux sur une adaptation de Lastikman. Comme rien n'est simple et qu'il arrive souvent, dans les comics comme dans les films, que les personnages créés par Mars Ravelo se croisent au cours de leurs aventures, Lastikman et Darna font un caméo dans la version 2003 de Captain Barbell le temps d'aider celui-ci à rosser quelques méchants... au cours d'un rêve.

Cette version 2003 de Captain Barbell, sans aller jusqu'à considérer qu'elle ne mériterait pas sa place sur Nanarland, nous aura parue globalement décevante, souffrant mal la comparaison (en tant que nanar s'entend) avec le festival de n'importe quoi qu'avait été la kitschissime adaptation de 1986 dont nous conservons un souvenir aussi vivace qu'ému. Même très en deçà de ceux des productions américaines, les effets spéciaux restaient à peu près honnêtes et le point faible du métrage demeurait finalement son rythme languide, le réalisateur Mac C. Alejandre accouchant d'un film de super-héros bavard de près de 2 heures (certes, le fait d'avoir vu le film en version originale tagalog non sous-titrée ne m'aura pas aidé à trouver le temps moins long). Du coup, c'est avec un enthousiasme plutôt modéré que je jetais un œil à ce Lastikman sorti la même année. La surprise n'en aura été que meilleure !

Il est en latex et sauve des vies tous les jours : mesdames et messieurs voici le préserv… euh, pardon, Lastikman !

Consacrons quelques lignes à l'histoire : dans la version originale sur papier, Lastikman était le dernier représentant d'une race d'extraterrestres aux organismes naturellement élastiques qui, échoué sur Terre et condamné à y rester, décidait d'y combattre le Mal. Dans notre film de 2003 en revanche, Lastikman est à la base un simple être humain, Hilario alias Larry, qui obtient accidentellement ses pouvoirs lorsqu'une météorite frappe l'hévéa (arbre producteur de caoutchouc) à côté duquel il se trouvait.

La genèse d'un super héros de comic-book...

Adolescent orphelin, binoclard et brimé, notre Peter Parker philippin se fait d'abord la main sur les brutes de son lycée avant de décider de mettre ses super pouvoirs au service du bon droit, histoire d'honorer la mémoire de ses parents décédés. Une fois adulte, il partage ainsi ses journées entre ses activités d'honorable professeur de physique et de super justicier élastique.

Ainsi, durant les deux-tiers du métrage, Lastikman tabasse du gredin et vole au secours de bimbos à un rythme étonnamment soutenu pour une production philippine. Puis survient l'inévitable deus ex machina : suite à un malentendu, l'homme élastique tombe en disgrâce aux yeux des médias et d'une partie du public (un peu comme Spiderman, quoi). Parallèlement, le freluquet Jepoy (Jeffrey Quezon), élève de Hilario ignorant la double identité de son prof, se bricole un super attirail en pianotant sur trois ordinateurs. Lui aussi était un intello binoclard brimé, désormais il fera payer au monde l'hostilité que celui-ci lui a manifesté sous le nom de Stryker. Bref, un boulot délicat pour Lastikman et un scénario transparent de bout en bout pour le spectateur.

La genèse d'un méchant de comic-book...

Ne tournons pas autour du pot plus longtemps : oui, Lastikman est à ranger parmi les nanars qui dépotent, essentiellement grâce à un rythme relativement soutenu et des séquences à base d'effets spéciaux déjà datés qui, par bonheur, abondent. Dès la scène d'intro, le spectateur a droit à la caricature sauce philippine de ce que le cinéma d'action de la fin des années 90 a pu inventer de plus clinquant et de plus m'as-tu-vu : le bullet time. Ce concept galvaudé, déjà outrancier à la base, se voit en effet poussé ici jusqu'à la parodie involontaire pure et simple : imaginez d'interminables rafales de balles mal incrustées défilant autour d'un héros goguenard avec des bruits de missiles de croisière. Vous imaginez mal ? Alors jetez un oeil à l'extrait de cette séquence proposé dans l'onglet vidéos.

De même qu'au royaume des aveugles les borgnes sont rois, aux Philippines Lastikman se pare fièrement de l'appellation "blockbuster". Exposé sur le marché international en revanche, le film ferait plutôt penser à une production Nu Image des débuts. Certes, depuis les années 80 les Philippins ont fait de sacrés progrès en matière d'effets spéciaux, mais quand on garde en tête que Lastikman date de 2003 et qu'on repense au Spiderman de Sam Raimi, on se dit qu'ils ont beau avoir fait du chemin, Manille a toujours le même nombre de rames de métro de retard sur Hollywood qu'il y a 20 ans.

Une technique très cheap en matière d'effets spéciaux : le zoom numérique ! En gros on filme un perso sur fond bleu ou vert (ici Stryker), on l'incruste dans un plan donné et on l'agrandit ou on le rétrécit (zoom in / zoom out) afin de renforcer l'illusion du mouvement.

J'aurais tendance à distinguer deux catégories de films aux effets spéciaux ratés : ceux qui ont clairement honte de leurs effets et tentent de limiter autant que possible leur utilisation (du genre film de monstre ne montrant que 3 mn une créature que le public aura attendu pendant une heure trente, et encore en la filmant de loin dans la pénombre), et ceux qui s'en foutent, parce qu'ils sont satisfaits de leurs effets ou simplement décomplexés, et qui du coup ne rechignent pas à aligner les séquences riches en artifices visuels foireux. Lastikman appartient très clairement à cette deuxième catégorie, un ancrage essentiel qui, avec la question du rythme, distingue souvent un bon nanar d'un gros navet.

Le film enchaîne donc sans temps mort les morceaux de bravoure qui voient l'homme élastique prendre toutes les formes possibles et imaginables – de la roue de vélo au trampoline en passant par le ballon de plage – et accomplir, avec panache et une nanardise qui fait feu de tout bois, sa routine de super héros. Une vraie jubilation !

Le film prend une dimension supplémentaire avec l'arrivée du méchant-malgré-lui Stryker. Sorte de mélange entre le bouffon vert (pour le mode de transport - Spiderman aura décidément été pillé sans vergogne) et le bassiste Gene Simmons de Kiss (pour le côté "hystérie échevelée"), le personnage qu'incarne Jeffrey Quezon est un modèle patenté d'ultra-cabotinage insane. L'acteur en faisait déjà des tonnes dans le rôle de l'étudiant très nerd Jepoy : ce n'était pourtant qu'un simple échauffement, une vulgaire mise-en-bouche. Il faut attendre de le voir camper son alter ego démoniaque Stryker pour en prendre pleinement conscience : regard halluciné genre "je suis un malade" à la Brad Dourif, mimiques et gestuelle à la Louis de Funès sous speed, ricanements et hurlements perpétuels... nulle doute que l'on tient là un énième candidat sérieux au titre de champion du monde du surjeu.

Néanmoins, je ne vais pas vous baratiner, tel un camelot du nanar, à essayer de faire passer Lastikman pour un objet de compétition ultime à la Turkish Star Wars : il n'en a sans doute pas encore tout à fait l'étoffe (ou la défroque). Mais les nanars ayant en commun avec les vins qu'ils se bonifient avec le temps, gageons que le potentiel ringard fort prometteur de ce film atteindra sa pleine maturité dans quelques années.

Un grand bravo donc au réalisateur Tony Y. Reyes pour avoir su apporter ce qui, contrairement à un savoir-faire local certain en matière de ringardise, fait trop souvent défaut aux productions philippines : un minimum de RYTHME. La filmographie de ce réalisateur spécialisé dans les parodies s'étire en une longue liste de titres hauts en couleur (Once Upon a Time in Manila, Bobocop, Starzan, Goosebuster, SuperMouse and the Roborats, Ali in Wonderland etc. etc.) qui n'ont jamais eu l'honneur d'une sortie par chez nous, même en vidéo. Après Lastikman, Tony Y. Reyes enchaînera sur un autre film de super héros, Fantastic Man, toujours avec Vic Sotto dans le rôle titre, mais qui aurait la réputation d'avoir des effets spéciaux bien moins « réussis » que ceux de Lastikman… on rêve évidemment de mettre la main dessus !

Signalons l'existence d'une nouvelle adaptation des aventures de l'homme élastique sortie un an plus tard seulement, en 2004, par le studio rival Viva Films. Titrée "Mars Ravelo's Lastikman: Unang Banat", on retrouve aux commandes Mac C. Alejandre (réalisateur de Captain Barbell version 2003) et Mark Bautista dans le rôle titre. Apparemment, après le succès de leur film en 2003, OctoArts Films et M-Zet TV Production n'auraient pas réussi à conserver les droits du personnage pour lancer une séquelle. Les héritiers de Mars Ravelo auraient en effet réclamé aux studios la somme de 1,5 million de pesos philippins (soit environ 25 000 € avec le taux de change actuel), somme que Viva Films semble avoir payé puisque leur titre met bien en avant le nom du dessinateur.

Signalons enfin qu'à l'instar de Darna et du Captain Barbell, Lastikman a lui aussi eu droit à sa série TV à partir de 2007, avec Vhong Navarro dans le rôle titre, un acteur populaire aux Philippines vu entre autre dans Gagamboy (une parodie de Spiderman), D'Anothers ou encore le décevant Agent X44, reprise sur le mode parodique des aventures du célébrissime agent secret interprété par Tony Falcon dans Sabotage (lire l'addendum de cette chronique à ce sujet).
