| The Game |
Corky's Hot Ice wants you to play a game.
Can you always tell who is a man, woman, or
transgender person in this movie?
About two-thirds into the film during the
nightclub scene, Dana International performs
her smash hit song "Diva" as runway models
pose for the audience. Can you tell which of
them are male and which are female? Both are
there, but can you tell the difference?
Earlier in the movie, there are a couple of
women who appear as men. Can you tell who
they are?
We are not giving away the secret because
then it would not be a game. And there is a
message behind it: beauty, both inner and
outer, is found in diversity. Create beauty in the
ways that inspire you, and enjoy it when you find
it.

| History |
Corky's Hot Ice has the goal of making you
smile, but along the way it teaches you a little
history about a brave people, the Filipinos, who
have struggled for centuries to gain and
preserve their independence and liberties.
In 1896, the Filipinos threw off three centuries of
Spanish rule and established their indepen-
dence. A leading group in this rebellion was the
secret society known as the Katipunan, whose
early flag consisted of three white "K"s against
a red background (briefly seen in Corky's Hot
Ice, with the Philippines national anthem playing
in the background.)
New challenges to independence were later
faced and overcome by the Filipino people. But
even after their freedom as a nation was firmly
secured in the 20th and 21st centuries, they
faced struggles against internal corruption.
Among the most inspiring were the People
Power revolutions of 1986 (the "EDSA"
revolution) and 2001 ("EDSA 2"). Corrupt
presidents were peacefully removed as people
took to the streets in mass demonstrations.
EDSA 2 is a backdrop to the story in Corky's
Hot Ice. It is a story that is not yet finished. The
president who was removed from office in
EDSA 2, namely Joseph Estrada (nicknamed
"Erap") has recently attempted a political
comeback. The violent Islamic separatists who
placed bombs in Manila are still a problem
today. Through it all, the Filipinos remain a
warm and wonderful people for whom the
blessings of liberty and peace are richly
deserved.

It all starts in the year 2001.
The Philippines is engulfed in political turmoil.
Its president Joseph Estrada faces
impeachment while Islamic rebels explode
bombs in Manila.
During the commotion, a mysterious figure in a
wig and dress steals a fabulous $15 million
dollar diamond necklace known as the Tears of
Liberty from the Philippines National Treasury...
and vanishes.
