BUY TICKETS ($12)
Loving husband and father. Action superstar. Idol to millions. Rudy “Daboy” Fernandez, born into film royalty, married his movie queen and lived an extraordinary life in the public spotlight before passing away just as publicly at the age of 56.
Andrew Leavold and Daniel Palisa, co-creators of the internationally-acclaimed The Search for Weng Weng (2013), delve even deeper into the heart and soul of Filipino cinema, weaving a rich tapestry of film clips, family movies, rare photos and TV appearances, and interviews with family and friends.
THE LAST PINOY ACTION KING is an intimate and often heartbreaking portrait, complete with personal triumphs and tragedies, of one of the Philippines’ most beloved screen icons, and the life and death of the Filipino action hero itself.
