Hollywood Movies Filmed in the Philippines - Part 2

I enumerated 10 Hollywood movies that were filmed in the Philippines in this blog entry. I thought I can no longer add to the list since I was thinking that our country was never been treated as good film location by movie producers. But I was wrong since there are more to name.

1. Too Late the Hero - This is a 1970 Anglo-American War directed by Robert Aldrich. The main actors are Michael Caine, Henry Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Ken Takakura, Denholm Elliott, and Ian Bannen.

The famous Boracay Beach is where this movie was filmed. Of course, Boracay was not famous at that time yet.
