Ang Panday

Ang Panday is a popular Filipino action-fantasy film starring Fernando Poe, Jr.. The movie is based on the fictional comics character of the same name, which was created by Carlo J. Caparas and illustrated by Steve Gan. The movie was followed by three other sequels, also featuring Poe as Flavio: Ang pagbabalik ng Panday, Ang Panday: Ikatlong Yugto and Ang Panday IV: Ika-Apat na Aklat. All four films were shown during Metro Manila Film Festivals from the early 1980s.
