ABOUT "RAMBUTO" (1985)

Directed by Rudy Don Dominguez.
The corpse-thin comedian Palito is our Stallone clone, running around the Filipino jungle clutching a machine gun twice his size! - Andrew Leavold, Trash Video
Palito moved up from supporting roles to lead star prominence via the movie Rambuto—a parody of Sylvester Stallone's blockbuster film Rambo. It was Palito who thought of the title, Rambuto, which was a tribute to his slight figure. - Bong Godinez, PEP
Palito's career had a brief resurgence then later peaked in the 1980s. He starred in several comedy movies parodying American action films, such as "Rambuto," a Rambo spoof, the title being a pun of the Tagalog word buto which means "bone", again to capitalize on his being "thin-boned." - Wikipedia
