Mission Unstapabol also offers a lot of other first the moviegoers could look forward to. For one, this is the very first full-length mainstream movie of Maine Mendoza after appearing in the critically acclaimed romantic-drama Isa Pa, With Feelings opposite Carlo Aquino. While Maine displayed her dramatic acting prowess in her previous project, her role as Donna is more packed with adrenaline and spice as seen in her fabulous action sequences.
Comedienne Pokwang reunites with Bossing in Mission Unstapabol for the very first time after years of working with him in film. It has been almost a decade since Pokwang last collaborated with Bossing in 2011's Pak Pak My Dr. Kwak! while Jake Cuenca works for the very first time with the iconic actor.
Jose Manalo deviates from being Bossing's sidekick as he plays the villainous Benjie Fortun while Wally Bayola plays a key role that will surely delight audiences and Jelson Bay provides a different comedic flavor as Don Robert's loyal sidekick.

Weaving the story of this adrenaline pumping movie is the awesome Mike Tuviera who expertly put all the elements of a fantastic action-adventure movie together while cleverly injecting Filipino values and sensitives to the film. "The movie is jam-packed with positive Filipno values," says Tuviera. "There is a lesson to be learned here - the good will always be rewarded and justice will always be served to the innocent. At the end of the movie, people will also discover that the most important things this Christmas season are family, forgiveness, and love."
Will the Dons outsmart the equally cunning crew of Benjie Fortun and get a hold of the pearl? What is the true role of Donna in all of these? Will Don Robert attain the justice that his heart desires?
