'''Classic Filipino Action Movie Cliches'''
(from the book "Why Do Filipinos Read Books in Reverse?" by Bob Ong, translated by Tropers/MoonlightBomber)
Have you ever watched a [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] action movie? Here are some signs that what you're watching is a Filipino fight flick.
# The plot centers on {{revenge}}.
# The protagonist's sister was raped, or a relative of his was slain (father, mother, older sister, older brother, stepsibling, wife, fiancee, mistress, son/daughter, cousin, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, godfather, godmother, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, ancestor).
# One of the scenes depicts either the protagonist or his fiancee being ridiculed and harassed by loitering drunkards.
# There will be a commotion at a huge gathering (birthday, wedding, baptism, wake).
# The protagonist will never feel any pain during battle, but he will scream in pain if the heroine is healing his wounds.
# If you hear a character laugh [[EvilLaugh "bwahahahaha"]], he's automatically a villain.
# Whenever he's doing something evil, the villain laughs. Even when he's [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping someone]].
# The villain is always a smoker and has lots of vices.
# The villain loves wearing leather jackets. Even during the month of April at high noon.
# The structure of the bad guys: the boss and his underlings.
# The headquarters of the bad guys is either a warehouse or a big house.
# There is always a scene at a beer house, too.
# There is a sexy heroine, and there is a steamy scene that can be narrated in ''Abante'' (a popular Filipino language tabloid).
# After that steamy scene, the heroine will revert to being meek like nothing happened.
# The heroine is capable at fighting, and she can knock down even a single man.
# If ever the protagonist is cornered, he will not be immediately killed off. He will just be imprisoned and tortured instead, since the big boss always wants him caught alive.
# When he encounters the big boss, he'll just be killed... only slowly.
# The protagonist and his mortal enemy will talk while pointing their guns at each other. The conversation will be long, as long as a long-winding speech, like lovers arguing on the phone.
# There will be huge explosions even when they're not needed.
# There will be no huge explosions even when they're needed.
# [[ThrowAwayGuns Guns are cheap and can be disposed of when they're out of ammo.]]
# The protagonist can pick up a loaded gun whenever he needs it.
# The heroine is a sharpshooter even though she hasn't handled a gun even once before in her life.
# The protagonist can easily take on twenty mooks in a fight since they do not charge all at once. They always do it individually, like they're dancing.
# The protagonist can't be hit by bullets even though thirty mooks are opening fire at him. Conversely, he can easily shoot them all.
# If he indeed gets hit, his skin will always be barely touched. No [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] or shots to the heart allowed.
# The protagonist has nine lives.
# The heroine has twice the said number of lives.
# If ever one of them will die, he or she will say something that is worth a whole script's page before biting the dust.
# After listening to the lengthy farewell speech, the survivor will [[SkywardScream look up at the sky]] [[SayMyName and then scream the name of the deceased]].
# However, the survivor will not be alone for long; since there will always be a spare partner ready.
# The police will arrive fashionably late and will directly arrest the bad guys. Yes, they have a hunch on who really are the bad guys... and they leave the protagonist alone, even though he took part in the riot that just happened!
