Run Barbi Run

Bartolome del Rosario is a Shakey's pizza delivery boy who witnesses the massacre of the Black Scorpion Gang committed by a group of henchmen while delivering pizza at night. As a result, he was indefinitely suspended from his job and had to decide whether to turn state witness or hide forever. Ultimately, he decides to turn himself over to the authorities after his grandmother and mother appeared in his dream. Unknown to him however, he is already on the death list of the henchmen's boss Gardo who was not pleased with his revelations.

Directed by Tony Y. Reyes, Run Barbi Run leans on a strong ensemble — Joey de Leon, Maricel Laxa, Ely Buendia — 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 1995.
