Cast
Production
Grepor "Butch" Belgica brought in the idea for his biopic in 1985 with Rudy Fernandez tapped to portray him. Vic del Rosario Jr. of Viva Films stated at that time that he was interested in Belgica's story. It was only in 1991 when the project was revived, with Paquito Diaz reminding Belgica and a successful negotiation with del Rosario Jr. about it. With Fernandez being too old to portray him, Belgica chose Paquito's son Joko to portray him. This marked Joko's first major role after a string of supporting and co-lead roles in action films. Belgica co-wrote the screenplay with Ferdinand Galang.
