Scorpio Nights

Scorpio Nights is a 1985 Philippine erotic thriller film directed by Peque Gallaga and written by Rosauro "Uro" Q. Dela Cruz from a story concept developed by T.E. Pagaspas and art director Romel Bernardino. Starring Orestes Ojeda, Anna Marie Gutierrez, and Daniel Fernando in his acting debut, the story follows a love affair between a young man and a married woman who become entangled in their uncontrollable urge for sex. It also features Dwight Gaston, Pen Medina, Angelo Castro Jr., and some of the film's production staff including writer-director Rosauro "Uro" Q. Dela Cruz and art director Rommel Bernardino in supporting and special participatory roles. Produced and distributed by Regal Films, the film was theatrically released on June 18, 1985. While it was controversial, it played a key role in defining Filipino erotic films of the decade. Following its release, two standalone sequels (both produced by rival film studio, Viva Films) were produced in 1999 and 2022, while a South Korean remake was produced and released in 2001.
