User Reviews

A typical 80's teen-ager Pinoy Movie done years before the Ninja fever hit the US shore

A cheesy movie featuring the 80's bagets (young actors). Movies featuring teeny-boopers were big hit in early 80's with the smashing Bagets series (almost all in the leading cast in this flick were in Bagets series - except for Aga and William). At that time, karate/ninja movies also made a killing in the big screen. Hence, this movie was made. I remember that singing sensation Keno (remember his hit "Leaving Yesterday's Behind?), where the hell is he now? Ohhh, Lea Salonga is in the cast. Lea who? The Miss Saigon? The Tony Awardee? Yes....my dear! Anyway, I will still love to watch this flick if given the opportunity. Well, it reminds me of my teen-age years!
