1* NarmCharm: His movies, if you're not Filipino or didn't grow up with them.
2* MemeticBadass: The perennial example for Philippine cinema.
3* SpecialEffectFailure:
4** When FPJ's character kills his target in ''Gawa Na Ang Bala Na Papatay Sa 'Iyo'', the actor, Subas Herrerro, is replaced by a wax dummy.
5** Ditto for [[TheDragon Paquito Diaz's character]] in ''Pagbabalik ng Probinsyano'' when he gets blown up by a spear with a pack of dynamite stuck to it.
6** The true form of Lizardo's WickedWitch henchwoman, Brunhilda, in ''Ang Pagbabalik ng Panday'' (''The Return of the Blacksmith''), has the actress wear an uncovincing mask, complete with big witch nose and lumps, made out of what appears to be rubber.
7** Max Alvarado's wax dummy in ''Ang Panday: Ang Ikatlong Yugto'' (''The Blacksmith: The Third Chapter'').
8** The [[MechanisticAlienCulture alien cyborgs]] in ''Ang Panday: Ang Ikaapat ng Aklat'' (''The Blacksmith: The Fourth Book'') are played by actors in costumes roughly equal in quality to that of the [[Series/DoctorWho Classic era Dr. Doctor Who Cybermen]].
9** [[http://tarstarkas.net/tag/anak-ng-bulkan/ The monster costume]] in FPJ's sole {{Kaiju}} movie, ''Anak ng Bulkan'' (''Child of The Volcano'') borders on NightmareFuel.
10* ValuesDissonance:
11** ''Ang Padrino'', with FPJ as an urban philanthropist, while meaning well, might be this to modern audiences since the term "padrino", or "patron" is more associated these days with the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padrino_system "padrino system"]], or how Filipino politicians call in favors and pull strings to manipulate the political system for their personal gain.
