Target Sparrow Unit

Young idealists form the liquidation squad of the left known as the Sparrow Unit, summarily executing the perceived enemies of the people until they are cornered and eventually defeated by government. The Sparrow Unit derived their name from sparrows, birds that can adapt in any environment.

Directed by Ben Yalung, Target Sparrow Unit leans on a strong ensemble — Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr., Ronnie Ricketts, Debbie Miller — 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 1987.
