Movie Wiro Sableng. Indonesia Remake of 1970-1980s Silat ('Wuxia') Comics

Not bad for a local production.
Now I wonder if there is a Young Master somewhere.

 

I am sorry but it seem offence to me if silat = wuxia.
Edit : at last called it martial arts

 

wasn't there a tv series for wiro sableng?

 

Olds i don't know if there are record or not.

 

Since Wuxia means "martial heroes", and Komik Silat/Dunia Persilatan usually tell us a story of martial artists, then for Westerners or Non-Indonesian who didn't know about Komik Silat, Wuxia is a rather familiar term for them.
Of course, Komik Silat setting is not China and the character is not Chinese, so it's not really a wuxia at all.

 

Is it Thai movie?
Like ong bak Tony Ja?

Edit, ups don't read completely, the title said Indonesia

Edit again :but I've been traveling around Indonesia, this movie doesn't seem like Indonesia
The army more like from east
And the woman look like using Kungfu

 

so that da one which hmm have hmm collaboration or something with fox\but I wanna da crazy side~
not mysterious side

 

Far in the past before the Islamization of 1700 and 1800, Indonesia is pretty much a Hindu-Buddhism influenced land. Then the Moslem proselytization and Dutch colonization came.

 

Wouldn't the general term for martial arts "wushu" be better then?

 

But there is no wushu story in NUF........ Even if there are, they would be labeled as Wuxia if the setting is in the past...... And you know, WiroSableng has Inner Chi and some kind of Cultivation too (though I doubt they are trying to become Immortal)

 

Ah like condor heroes

 

Wuxia indeed mean martial heroes literary but it is use by chinese martial arts artist
I've seen Silat before and it's more like mystical art, in 2003 i watch them perform at night and all of them like being possessed. It creeping me out

 

hmmm... I've been waiting for this

 

actually, you chose the wrong time when watching their performance. yes, they are indeed something like mystical art. i can say so since i practice one in the past

 

That is RL Silat. This is Fiction Silat, Fiction Silat works more like Jinyoung Martial Arts with character yelling out their technique name:
For example: Jurus Membuka Jendela Memanah Rembulan (开窗射月! I mean "Open the Window to Shoot the Moon technique!")
I should put Wiro Sableng into Google Translate to turn it into Chinese and post it at 17k or something...

 

Yeah Indonesia is mystical country
I even watch some performance that they are eating bulbs and other glasses
And when i travel to borneo there are even have indian tribe, they give me some kind of sweet milk alcoholic drinks, got hang over for 3 days
But the worst was when i travel to Toraja, that walking corpses is it real???
I mean that the first time i saw real zombie in my life

 

Ugh okay its kind of weird, or maybe it is normal for you, but honestly i never watch Indonesian movie
So it's kind of weird for me

 

yup, walking corpses is the norm there. i mean, its one of Tana Toraja's tradition. the deceased family speaks to the deceased and tell them to walk to their grave by their own :x

 

Not really... Since shouting your technique name is common in TV wuxia adaptation.

Since I am too familiar with wuxia, it was xianxia who weird me out...
