Kick-Ass Isabelle

I got a copy of Kick-Ass the other day, a movie I wasn’t interested in watching on the big screen. Not interested maybe because Nicholas Cage is in it or maybe because it’s not based on a comic hero like those from Marvel and DC. Anyway after devoting more than an hour and a half of my time, I’d say it was worth it. But what made it more memorable for me were scenes that referenced my beloved country… Philippines! It’s not the first time we got mentioned in movies or television shows which were mostly unpleasant. This time it’s somewhat intellectual… informative. Batangueno's would be proud!

The scene.

One of the heroines in the movie was Mindy/Hit-Girl played by Chloe Moretz whom I thought was the little girl from “Little Miss Sunshine” Abigail Breslin. Nicholas Cage played her dad Damon/Big Daddy. The following clips shows Big Daddy and Hit-Girl talking about a gift… butterfly knife, which is locally known as “balisong.”

subtitle indicated "one dollar...? two dollar...? but actually what Big Daddy was saying was "one balisong... two balisong"

So... Americans call them "Isabelle" from "balisong"

Isa-balisong or Isabelisong! lol!
