NOTES:
*** Epimaco Velasco, the incumbent director of the National Bureau of Investigation at the time of the movie's release, delivers a message before the opening credits.
*** Mark Gil plays the role of Sid Wisenman, who is based on Stephen Mark Whisenhunt. In real life, Whisenhunt was convicted of murder. Sid Wisenman is a namesake of Sid Lucero, the name of the fraternity neophyte portrayed by Mark Gil in the 1982 film Batch 81.
*** Whisenhunt was deported to the United States in February 2013, two months after his release from the New Bilibid Prison.
*** Some netizens claim that some of the clothes used by lead actress Lorna Tolentino were also owned by the real Elsa Santos Castillo.
