Topic: Rene Requiestas


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Encyclopedia: Rene Requiestas
Rene Requiestas was one of the top comedic acts of the early 1990s.
Rene is popularly known as the sidekick "Cheetae" from the movie "Starzan" (a parody film of Tarzan) starring Joey De Leon as Starzan.
Rene passed away in the mid 1993 due to complications brought by heavy drinking and smoking.

 The Wily Filipino: Joey de Leon.
Requiestas' James is even worse: not even remotely resembling James Dean, James Dacuycoy, with a cigarette dangling constantly from his lips, is ready to kill anyone who dares touch his hair, and froths at the mouth whenever he gets too close to women.
Acceptance and rejection is a major theme in the De Leon films, where he and Requiestas often play outsiders attempting to integrate with the society and ultimately being rejected.
In Long Ranger and Tonton, there is a scene where Tonton (Requiestas) and a bandit take turns lighting and snuffing out a candle by shooting at it with a gun ("Patay." "Buhay." "Patay." "Buhay.") The same dialogue occurs in Elvis and James when Requiestas tips over his long-dead grandfather's coffin, and the corpse awakens.

I saw Long Meija's portrayal of the late Rene Requiestas.
Until now, I still haven't seen a comedian who is funnier than Rene when it comes to slapsticks.
Don't get me wrong, I think Long is really funny but Rene is just different and it would be very unfair to compare the two comedians since they have different styles in comedy.

Finally, she made her film debut with actor Rene Requiestas on " Pido Dida," a puerile comedy.
Aquino's later acting efforts were barely an improvement over her debut, although she did manage to score an acting nominationfor " The FatimaBuen Story." She also topbilled a schlocky film based on a true-life murder, " The Vizconde Massacre."Its financial success gave title-happy showbiz wags a "name" to confer on Aquino: "Massacre Queen."

Of course, the Starzan trilogy and the other great Joey de Leon-Rene Requiestas movies (Elvis and James, Long Ranger and Tonton) were some of the fondest memories from my childhood (and it was a happy one, too).
After all, my favorite part of Long Ranger and Tonton was the ending where they revealed that the surname of Tonton (Rene Requiestas) was *actually* "Gutierrez".
I mean, people love the Starzan characters so much that last year, Rene Requiestas' life story drew monster ratings.
