What happens

It parodies both the film Masters of the Universe, She-Ra: Princess of Power, and the character Panday as portrayed by Fernando Poe Jr. In the film, a male blacksmith gains the power to transform into an effeminate superhero dressed in drag. Produced by Viva Films, the film was released on September 7, 1988. Critic Lav Diaz gave it a mixed review, praising De Leon's parody of Panday early in the film but expressed disappointment in the lessened comedic quality of later scenes involving Sheman.
