MOVIE SUMMARY
Witchcraft and black magic versus mystical martial arts This
outrageously entertaining fantasy flick stars Indonesian action hero
Barry Prima. He plays Jaka Sembung, a kind of Robin Hood figure who
possesses mystical powers. As a leader of his country’s rebellion
against the oppressive Dutch colonialists, Jaka Sembung is captured,
tortured and left for dead. But he returns, even more powerful than
before. In desperation the invaders resurrect an evil wizard and set
him against Jaka Sembung in a fierce fight to the death. Packed with
jaw dropping action scenes and astonishing special effects, The
Warrior is the ultimate cult classic. This is the first Blu-ray
release of the film in the US and is fully remastered and completely
uncut.
