The city of Metrofulus (Bandar Metrofulus), is a fictional city-state featured in the Malaysian blockbuster superhero film, Cicak-Man. The whole city was created using computer-generated imagery or CGI. The name Metrofulus is a parody name of the word metropolis and means money in certain Malay dialects or slang.

[edit] Structures
Though Cicak-Man is a Malaysian superhero film, Bandar Metrofulus structures and buildings are more like London or New York and nothing like Kuala Lumpur.
[edit] Weather
Bandar Metrofulus has a cold weather. The characters are all wearing thick outfits to show that the weather is cold. This cold weather maybe is why the structures are not like hot-weathered KL.
[edit] Administration and Economy
The city is led by a president (Cast: Jalaluddin Hassan) who is helped by five ministers. The tax may be controversial if Bandar Metrofulus was real since all electric appliances like ovens and refrigerators have high taxes imposed on them. People are not allowed to comment about this. It seems that tax and toll raising (even up to 100%) occurs quite often because Metrofulusians do not seem surprised about it. The biggest controversy is the price that should be paid to cross the road. Fulus is the fictional currency used in Bandar Metrofulus that is parodying the Malaysian Ringgit.
Klon Technologies which is lead by Professor Klon enjoys an exclusive monopoly of science, technology and medical services. The company also receives funding worth millions of fulus to develop more new "vaccines". It also happens that Profesor Klon is a crony of the President of Metrofulus.
[edit] Media
- Television and Radio
Metrofulus has two television channels, Channel 6 and Channel 11. While it has also a radio station,which is Radio Metrofulus Reality.
- Newspaper
Metrofulus has a daily newspaper called Metrofulus Fokus (The Focus on Metrofulus)
