Bomba was a Filipino film genre, characterized by its gratuitous use of sex scenes.[1] It was most popular in the late 1960s, and was a focal point of cultural debates around sex and sexuality.
History
Analysis
Bomba played a role in revitalizing Filipino film at the end of the 1960s as one of the few local film genres that could draw audiences away from imported American films. Beyond the commercial success of the films themselves, the provocative nature of the films' sexual content became a subject of extensive cultural debate.[1] Bomba films remain one of the only categories of 1960s Filipino film to have drawn extensive critical attention.[2]
