Plot

[edit]

Pandoy was chosen to fight the dark horde in the absence of Flavio, a famed Panday (transl. blacksmith). He is said to have forged a similar magic dagger turning sword from the remnants of Flavio's original meteorite gemstone metal, where host Ka- Elias showed a path to Santa Monica. During the aftermath of Flavio's last duel against Lizardo, the prince of darkness, Panday went on a warrior's pilgrimage in search of destroying the remaining relics that could resurrect Lizardo, leaving the remaining dark forces unrivaled. Flavio's journey was concealed and it was uncertain when he could return under the "Itim na Aklat" (transl. Black Book).[5] Pandoy lives in the grand stable together with his longtime friend Kadyo. He is madly in love with Cristina, daughter of the aristocratic Lord or "Don" of the Grand stable.

Production

[edit]

Contrary to the belief that Pandoy is a parody of Panday, Joey de Leon clarified that it is a different character conceptualized by him, Vic Sotto and Tony Reyes, based on ideas and suggestions from the late Fernando Poe Jr. who portrayed the original character. Poe was supposedly part of the film as a guest in one scene, but didn't push through due to scheduling conflicts.[4]
