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.{{cite news | url=https://www.pep.ph/lifestyle/16063/legend-fpj-must-live | title=Legend: FPJ Must Live! | date=May 23, 2008 | publisher=PEP | access-date=November 14, 2019}}{{cite news | url=https://www.pep.ph/peptionary/146832/fernando-poe-jr-a738-20191017-lfrm | title=Fernando Poe Jr: Da King of Philippine movies | date=October 17, 2019 | publisher=PEP | access-date=November 20, 2019 | first=Mark Angelo | last=Ching}}{{cite news | url=https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/233358-opinion-time-change-filipino-heroes-depiction-tv-movies | title=[OPINION] Is it time to revamp our heroes in movies and on TV? | date=June 19, 2019 | publisher=Rappler | access-date=November 20, 2019 | first=Tristan | last=Zinampan}}{{cite news|url=https://lifestyle.abs-cbn.com/starstudio/stories/2019/08/read/fpj-in-retrospect-a-guide-to-da-kings-most-memorable-films|title=FPJ in retrospect: A guide to Da King's most memorable films|publisher=Star Studio|access-date=January 8, 2020|first=Paulea|last=Benoza}}{{cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2013/12/23/1271057/fpj-real-legend-nick-joaquin/amp/|title=FPJ: From real to legend by Nick Joaquin|publisher=The Philippine Star|date=December 23, 2013|access-date=April 2, 2020|first=Bibsy M.|last=Carballo}}
