Vandolph plays big city streetwise kid who shacks up with a bunch of other kids like him in a makeshift home, hull of a bus, where Totoy (Babalu) lords over them as a surrogate date. Together they do their shenanigans that almost always end up in the craziest of misadventures. Until a band of underworld gangsters discover Boy's potential in one of their rackets - as a boy sumo wrestler. The kid obliges. The adventure heightens as Boy, Totoy and their cohorts go up against the bad guys in the wackiest chase ever!
Directed by Bey Vito, Boy! Gising! leans on a strong ensemble — Vandolph, Babalu, Manilyn Reynes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1995.
