Production

Millennium Cinema, a production company established in 1999 by the family of President Joseph Estrada, produced the film. Filming began in Baguio City on August 5, 2000, in which the PMA graduation scene of young Ping Lacson (portrayed by Raphael Fernandez) was shot. Lead actor Rudy Fernandez, who was the first choice to portray Lacson, has cited his role as the titular policeman to be "my most demanding, most challenging role."

Lacson has the described the film as "only 35 percent accurate". He gave his permission to the filmmakers to depict his affair with actress Tina Monasterio.

Kilusang Mayo Uno, a left-wing group called for a boycott of Ping Lacson, as they stated that Lacson was not a hero, but a corrupt police officer who kills innocent people. The group also stated that the film only distracted the public from the corruption of then-President Joseph Estrada.
