Bagets made a lot of money and it made big stars of J.C. Bonnin,Herbert Bautista and Aga Muhlach.A follow up was made and Bagets 2 was it. The premise of this Bagets film was extremely ordinary.It is a story of seven instead of five teenage youngsters in Bagets 2 (although William Martinez is already past his teenage years) who are experiencing problems and ways to cope up with it.Sadly,while Bagets became an 80's classic despite it many cinematic flaws,its sequel was simply forgotten.Was it because Aga Muhlach was not present in the movie? Or was it because the same predictable story lines in first was used.I think both reasons were true. Just like in the first film,the movie became very popular when it was released due to the popularity of the first film and how the viewers were excited to see the most of the stars reprise their roles in it.Also,it made instant stars of the additional cast namely: the late Francis Magalona,who was later known as Francis M; Ramon Christopher; and the late Jon Hernandez.
