Kambal Na Kamao: Madugong Engkwentro is a 1988 Filipino sports film written and directed by comic book writer Carlo J. Caparas. It stars boxing champions Rolando Navarette and Rolando Bohol as two provincial streetfighters who became professional boxers. The film was produced and released by Golden Lion Films in mid-1988.[1] It was given a negative review by film critic Lav Diaz for its uneven and forced storytelling.
Introducing
According to Rolando Bohol, it was during his first IBF world title defense at the Araneta Coliseum on May 6, 1988 that he and Rolando Navarette, both of whom won their respective bouts that day, were approached by Carlo J. Caparas and Donna Villa of Golden Lion Films for their latest film production Kambal Na Kamao.[2] [3]
Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave a negative review of Kambal Na Kamao, writing that the film is a "patchwork of laughs, action, anguished sighs, tragedy, forced scenes and poorly thought-out dialogue", although he mentioned that the boxing scenes are good.
