Indonesian martial arts flick. It's the kind of movie that reminds you that you haven't seen everything yet. It's incredibly bizarre. Not good, mind you, but so weird you can't help but like it. Action star Barry Prima stars as Jaka Sembung, a mighty mystical rebel trying to resist the rule of the evil Dutch. The governor of the island, a mutton-chopped maniac, hires a series of wacky wizard villains to dispatch Jaka. The film is extraordinarily brutal. The hero at one point gets his eyes stabbed out. The hero is Muslim, and at one point he's turned into a pig, which is probably even worse than being blinded by needles. This may not be very well done, but it's certainly never boring. In fact, I'd categorize it as a must-see for anyone who likes bat-crap insane movies.
