Wiki.
Asedillo is a 1971 Philippine biographical period action film written and directed by Celso Ad Castillo and produced by Fernando Poe Jr., who also stars in the lead role of Teodoro Asedillo, a former schoolteacher-turned-labor leader who later became known as "The Terror of the Sierra Madre". The film co-stars Paquito Diaz, Barbara Perez, and Carlos Padilla Jr.
The film, while critically and commercially a success, is infamous for having begun the SOP of informing cinema owners ahead of time if Fernando Poe Jr. will die in his films as a riot ensued following the death of Poe's character in a screening in Zamboanga.
