[edit] Trivia

Exodus: Tales from the Enchanted Kingdom

  • Eddie Garcia was earlier attached to play a role in this film.

Kutob

Ako legal wife: Mano po 4!?

  • The title is taken from a line of Zsa Zsa Padilla's character in Mano po 2: My home. Just like in that movie, Zsa Zsa again says the now famous, "Ako legal wife (I am the legal wife)" in this movie.

Enteng Kabisote 2: Okay ka fairy ko... The legend continues

  • Alice Dixson, who played the original Faye in the original TV series, she plays Ina Magenta, her character's fairy-queen mother in the original series.
  • Alice Dixson is the third actress to play Ina Magenta.
  • Giselle Toengi was supposed to reprise her role as Ina Magenta. The role, however, went to Alice Dixson.

Shake, Rattle and Roll 2k5

  • Iza Calzado, Oyo Boy Sotto and Dennis Trillo were initially tapped to be in the cast. However, because of commitments in other film festival entries, they were eventually dropped.
  • Maryo J. De los Reyes was initially tapped to direct one of the segments.
  • This is the seventh "Shake, Rattle & Roll" installment.

Mulawin: The Movie

  • Diana Zubiri, who played Danaya in the original TV series Encantadia, was prohibited by her mother studio, Seiko Films, to appear in this movie, a co-production by its rival, Regal Films. The role went to Valerie Concepcion.

Blue Moon

  • Initially disqualified by the Metro Manila film fest selection committee allegedly for being a different movie from the originally submitted script, it was later reconsidered after the production maintained the story was the same, albeit re-titled. From the original Philippine playdate of 25 December 2005 (the start of the Metro Manila Film Festival), it was moved to January 1, 2006.
