About Bala at Lipistik
Twins Bambi and Bobby (Roderick Paulate) are separated from birth. Their mother Mameng (Nanette Inventor), unconscious from childbearing, is found by an old woman who takes one infant Bambi, who grows up to be a gay running a beauty parlor. Bobby grows up with his biological mother and becomes a tough guy getting involved with a crime syndicate now hunting him for taking away a damning microfilm. But the syndicate always mistakes Bambi for Bobby and has taken him captive.
Directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes, Bala at Lipistik leans on a strong ensemble — Roderick Paulate, Zoren Legaspi, Dindi Gallardo — 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 action titles of 1994.
