Jockey Tyan

About This Movie

So 'Jockey Tyan' is an interesting one. Herbert Bautista really embodies this komik character, and there’s something almost surreal about how he portrays this underestimated, bucktoothed provincial. The film wanders through a blend of basketball, horses, and touches of magic, creating this peculiar atmosphere that’s hard to pin down. The pacing can be a bit all over the place, but it fits the quirky tone. And then there’s Johnny, who plays dual roles, adding a layer of complexity that’s kind of charming. It's distinct in how it fuses various elements of Filipino culture with a unique storytelling style that might not resonate with everyone, but there's definitely a certain charm to it.

'Jockey Tyan' is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. It had a limited release, and finding physical copies can be a challenge. The film's blend of comedy and fantastical elements, along with Bautista's performance, makes it a curious piece for those interested in Filipino cinema. While not widely discussed, its charm and oddities might catch the eye of dedicated collectors.
