Napoleon Doble and the Sexy Six

Summary As Napoleon Doble, Dolphy trades in his customary secret agent badge for one with the NBI. The film opens in wham-bam style, with Napoleon shooting it out with machine guns as his nemesis Elias (also Dolphy, much-gnarled but, under the latex buboes, still recognizable) robs a bank and makes a hasty getaway. The Thirties gangster-style car crashes and somehow Elias drags the stolen loot back to his mansion hideaway, where Girlfriend Number One (Lucita Soriano) and his trusted scientist-slash-plastic surgeon (Carlos Diaz) perform a face-changing operation - under strict orders to make him look JUST like Napoleon Doble. Elias, the dark Hyde to Dolphy's likable Pinoy Everyman, is a hoot: cold, calculating slits for eyes and a sardonic smirk, and with a harem of five girlfriends on call, all top-shelf Pinoy starlets who are forced to line up and have their cocktail frocks ripped down in one of Elias' cleavage inspections! Not content with merely a Foxy Five, Elias decides to recruit a sexy Sixth, and as fate would have it, stalks the gorgeous Anna (Lourdes Mendel), a dancer at his own nightclub - and, the same girl courted by Napoleon. Anna, of course, only has eyes for the REAL Napoleon, yet Elias is undeterred, and takes her refusal to bare her cleavage as a sign she's the new Number One Girlfriend, a position jealously fought over by the Sexy Five in a messy, drunken, all-in catfight. A complicated web of mistaken identities - that old hackneyed comedic standby! - ensues, with Elias stealing NBI files while posing as Napoleon, and ends with Napoleon and Anna trapped in a cell in Elias' mansion at the mercy of a leering, power-hungry and clearly insane Elias.

Two Wrongs Make a Right

Two Wrongs Make a Right

Ivan Rogers is Fletcher Quinn, a successful and respected nightclub owner, in a fast- paced metropolis who is deadly serious about protecting those things he cares most about; his friends; his lady friend; his livelihood...and his life! Quinn's very existence is threatened by a sleazy cut throat extortion kingpin named Jack Balentine who is trying to force him to capitulate to his protection racket. One night Balentine sends Lake, his menacing "right-hand man", to solicit his services to Quinn at his club. Quinn refuses which results in a violent and horrific massacre of his friends and patrons by Lake and his soldiers. After the incident, hard-nosed cop, Lieutenant Zander and his partner, Sergeant Vellosi are called in to investigate. They suspect that Quinn's tragedy is a result of his possible association with something illegal, and/or someone criminal. They press him for the truth, but because of a past experience with the law, Quinn has no faith in the ability of the police to bring about justice. With the police hot on his heals and a cold vengeance in his heart, Quinn embarks on a mission to bring down Lake and Balentine. Meanwhile, Balentine and Lake learn of Quinn's vendetta against them and attempt to thwart his efforts by physically assaulting Jayna, his lady friend, and killing Winston, a lifelong friend of Quinn's family. In spite of the warnings from Lt. Zander and Sgt. Vellosi to let the police handle all of this, Quinn continues along an inevitable collision course with Lake and Balentine. After an involved action-packed search for the two miscreants, Quinn finally corners Balentine and Lake. Before the police are able to intervene, Ivan Rogers proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that two wrongs don't make a right...unless you're Fletcher Quinn!
