The charm of an actor in a movie is highly important! Even becoming more important in a sequel…Want to know what’s more important than that? It’s Not to replace the entire cast in the next sequel! Lupus: Topi-Topi Centil was released in 1989, after the audience had enjoyed Lupus: Tangkaplah Daku Kau Kujitak (1987), Lupus: Mahluk Manis Dalam Bis (1987).

Lupus: Topi-Topi Centil was also based on a novel written by Hilman Hariwijaya. In English perhaps it would be translated as “Lupus: Fancy Hats”. In this comedy flick however, Ryan Hidayat who was role as Lupus in the previous movies, unfortunately, was replaced. Alright, changing one actor was already bad enough, but why the heck did the filmmakers change the whole actors and actresses and left only, most notably, two of them, Gito Gilas and Sylvana Herman and those two even only have minor roles in this third entry. Sigh….

The storyline centers both on Lupus (Hilman Hariwijaya) and Lulu. Lupus is a high school student who is well known for his writing skill. In this movie he is seen mostly trying to raise a small chicken farm with the help of his friends, Boim and Gusur among others. He is also appointed to be his class (II A-2) representative on the upcoming lecture competition.

Boim is also tries to win Nyit Nyit’s heart, actually her name is Yunita. Yunita is the best friend of Fifi Alone (Sylvana Herman), an actress-wannabe who is also the love interest of Gusur, one of Boim’s best friends besides Lupus. Poppy is back, by the way, only this time she is played by Ita Purnamasari.
Lupus’ little sister, Lulu, has a crush on a boy named Andi (Gito Gilas, he roles as Gito in the previous films), a charming guy who excels in Basketball and loves to wear fancy hat. The love-sick Lulu tries to impress Andi. From being a cheerleader to planning to buy a new fancy hat for him, even though Lulu actually realizes that Andi already has a girlfriend.
