That guy in the back row really didn’t have his heart in his role.
I know it’s weird, but even though the country is spelled Philippines, the people are Filipinos or (more recently) the spelling ‘Pilipinos’ has become accepted, which makes some sense considering that we don’t have the ‘F’ sound in our language. I think we may be the only country in the world who can’t properly pronounce our own name. Gotta love colonialism!
it’s filipino’s not phillipinos
On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot – ’tis a silly place…..
it’s Filipinos not filipino’s. Unless you’re implying possesion.
Left unresolved: brain eaters or flesh eaters?
Ultimately, “Beat It” would have been more appropriate, though. What with the gang theme and all.
Fantastic deterrent…. when I was a young hellion the thought of having to dance to Michael Jackson would have straightened me out!
Damn, those inmates have sweet moves!
I’m so stupid…
I was watching the beginning and wondered: “What’s a woman doing in the middle of all those male inmates”.
I’m such a maroon.
There is a joke here about the prisoners preparing for Michael Jackson’s arrival, but I cant quite put it together.
Oh, what I would have given to be there at moment zero. (Well, not really…)
“Hey kids, I’ve got this swell idea. Why don’t we all go down to the old barn and… Florante…. Is that a shiv?”
RBG
LOL Mike… Did you really think for even a moment they could concentrate on the moves with a real woman in their midst?
#8. You not as stupid as the guy that wore the chicks outfit. I’m sure he had a big time after the dance was over.
What the!!! Is this for real??? Why would the inmates have a huge perfomance like this?lol… Only in the Philippines!!! hehehhe
#12 – Gig – I am pretty sure that those cloths and makeup came from his personal collection that he had before this little dance was already conceived.
Some of those prisoners have had 24 years (to life) to practice that 1983 video. In the next episode, a little homage to Electric Boogaloo.
Another point that went over everyone’s head – of course, these guys can dance. Just like the gangbangers in my part of the States, that’s a skill considered much more important by ignorant dropouts than, say, the skills useful for earning an honest living.
I’d rather see a dozen uncoordinated kids as bank tellers or sales clerks or auto mechanics – than a thousand meatheads in a drill team behind bars.
when I first saw this, it was “Japanese Prison Inmates Thriller”
#4, iGW, Thuuuuuunk! Er, message for you, Sir!
Stop that, stop that right now! No singing!
Darnit, now I’ll have “Knights of the Round Table” in my head all day.

So THAT’S where Michael Jackson got it from!
They are soooo bored.
There are so many wrong things that can be said about that video but I wont go there. ROTFLOL awesome.
