Akyat Bahay Gang (transl. House Climbing Gang) is a 1988 Filipino crime film[1] directed by Efren C. Piñon and starring Lito Lapid, Zandro Zamora, Dick Israel, Lito Gruet, Chuck Perez, Jean Saburit, Angela Perez, and Paquito Diaz. Produced by Falcon Films, a subsidiary of Viva Films,[1] it was released on April 20, 1988. Critic Luciano E. Soriano gave the film a negative review, criticizing its lack of suspense and unexciting action, though he noted it was better than other films showing in theaters at the time.
Akyat Bahay Gang was the last film Angela Perez starred in before retiring from the film industry to raise a family.[2]
Akyat Bahay Gang was graded "B" by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), indicating a "good" quality.[3] The film was released on April 20, 1988.[4][5]
Luciano E. Soriano, writing for the Manila Standard, gave the film a negative review, criticizing the heist scenes for lacking in suspense and the action for being unexciting, along with some inconsistencies in logic for character actions. However, Soriano considers Akyat Bahay Gang to be better than Urban Terrorist and Gorio Punasan, Rebel Driver which opened around the same time.[1]
