![]() Unfortunately, the Mondo Macabro release is the only DVD of any of the films in the series. ![]() There are also versions dubbed into other languages such as German. ![]() The first film is also out on a handful of different video releases, both in Greece, Holland, and the UK. Here's a trailer for THE WARRIOR:įortunately, THE WARRIOR is easy to get hold of as it has been released on a spiffy wee disk by those gents from Mondo Macabro, Pete Tombs and Andy Starke. Barry Prima stars as the main character thru out the whole series. Just like Barry Prima they starred in tons of genre films in the 80s. Also Eva Arnaz and Dana Christina are featured. It's directed by Sisworo Gautama Putra and stars Barry Prima in the lead role as Jaka Sembung. The first film is THE WARRIOR (original title: Jaka Sembung Sang Penakluk) from 1981. A rather amusing detail is that one of the markets where the films have been most widely distributed on video is actually Holland. ![]() Gory adventure films I might add! In short the series deal with the historical freedom fighter Jaka Sembung who fought the Dutch imperialists when they occupied Indonesia until fairly recently. If you have never come across any of the JAKA SEMBUNG films starring Barry Prima you have been missing out on some WILD cinema!! The Jaka Sembung series, or THE WARRIOR as it's known in English, is a series of totally awesome and highly entertaining adventure films from Indonesia.
