Reyes and starring Joey Marquez as the titular cop, alongside Alice Dixson, Matet, Kristina Paner, Cris Villanueva, Atoy Co, Amy Perez, Willie Revillame, Panchito and Cachupoy. The film's title is in reference to the 1987 American film RoboCop. Produced by Regal Films, Bobo Cop was released on May 12, 1988.
