* MovieMakingMess: Both films center on troubled, if not downright catastrophic filmmaking processes.
* AdamWesting: Ricci Chan appears AsHimself, [[ParodiedTrope parodying]] his status as the Philippine film industry's favorite GayBestFriend. Joel Torre plays a foul-mouthed, perennially exasperated version of himself. Agot Isidro plays an equally exasperated version of herself, though she's a lot more diplomatic than Joel.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Initially {{Inverted|Trope}}. Rainier and his wife are conventionally gorgeous human beings, and their good looks are especially impressive given that they're in a dismal state of near-divorce amid new parenthood. However, Rainier wants Eugene Domingo and Joel Torre to star in his film based on his marriage problems, representing a fictional version of the couple. Eugene Domingo and Joel Torre are decidedly much less conventionally good-looking and are visibly older than Rainier or his wife. Rainier even wants to dress Eugene up in the dowdiest clothes imaginable. Played with when Eugene demands to bring in Jericho Rosales, a strapping heartthrob, for {{Fanservice}}. Whether Rosales or Cipriano's Rainier is more attractive depends on the viewer, but Rosales is a leading man known for his TallDarkAndHandsome image.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "But what do I know? I'm just an actress."
* {{Fanservice}}: InvokedTrope. Eugene wants to fill the movies with gratuitous fluff and sensuality, including a ShirtlessScene for Jericho Rosales.
* [[invoked]]RealitySubtext: InvokedTrope. Rainier's marriage is crumbling; he writes the screenplay for ''The Itinerary'' based on it.

Jocelyn (Cortez), Rainier (Cipriano), and Bingbong (De Guzman) are three film school graduates who are dead-set on making an Oscar-worthy film. They set out to do a quick pre-production as a courtesy call to their lead actress played by Eugene Domingo, and a thorough inspection of their film’s major location, the Payatas dumpsite. They believe they have a winning script, and the energy and drive to make their dreams come true, no matter what the cost. There, they use Eugene Domingo's acting skills to her limit, including forcing her to swim in a sewer, despite her pleas that she can do anything, except swim in a sewer.

A sequel was released in 2016, titled ''Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 2: [=ForeverIsNotEnough=].'' Khalil Ramos joins the cast, as voiceless assistant Lennon. Whereas the first film satirized the pretensions of indie cinema, the sequel pokes fun at mainstream filmmaking.
