Ang 1988 action movie na Boy Negro is the true-to-life story of Arsenio Cayanan, isang neglected Amerasian na sa paghahanap ng kapalaran ay napadpad sa mundo ng krimen.
It’s just one of the more than a dozen true-to-life films na nagawa ni Philip Salvador during his prime.
It spawned a sequel, Anak ni Boy Negro, about ten years after in 1997. This time, si Joko Diaz ang bida. Interestingly, ang child star na si Joko din ang gumanap as the young Boy Negro sa naunang pelikula. You just have to forget that detail para di ka malito sa continuity ng narrative ng dalawang k’wento.
Si Toto Natividad ang nagdirek ng parehong pelikula.
The older generation will definitely enjoy rewatching Boy Negro dahil hanep ang casting nito. Some of Philippine cinema’s best ay pinagsama-sama rito—Leopoldo Salcedo, Anita Linda, and Mary Walter. May bonus ka pang Dang Cecilio, na pinag-aagawang leading lady at that time.
The younger generation naman can find delight in knowing how action movies in the 80s looked like.
