  • Orang ini sangat baik baik untuk memerangi sekali !!! aku cinta movie ini ...

  • Malaysia or Indonesia to the mutual need of each other. Malaysia has always welcoming any kind of a good thing ..

  • as a malay ,i feel proud that the silat martial art has been given a fresh new look.Beauty and brutality indeed can go along.....

  • Him, Tony Jaa, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are the best martial arts fighter

  • im so amazed with the stuntmen in tony's movies, they are really awsome, the can take a punch lol

  • Hey it's now on Netflix! A decent action movie! A very very big step up for Indonesian movie!!

  • sad ending..turn me cry...

  • Best Indo movie I seen to date.

  • By teh wai the salah scene at 0:30 was not shown in the movie dvd i brought in england from HMV Oo` weird i guess it was cut ...

  • @KamikazeiOo bad for you, i have it on my dvd

  • this is the true love man..go after the girl he fall in love to till the end of his blood..what a good story..

  • men i love this movies like ong bak :D

  • Looks like the new Jackie.

    1:54 (Ouch!) xD

  • this is SILAT, the ancient martial art in malay archipelago. well known from indonesia.

  • As Tony Jaa would say:

    Too slow!

  • but this film has to be given it's props on effort and creating a well rounded martial arts film, good drama, near on (bar dodgy American accents - the actor is Welsh so Ill give it to him) good acting, lovely choreography and well produced. These are the kind of films that we should be making over here in the uk rather than some of the below average fighting films with Vinnie Jones etc we produce. I highly recommend this underrated film.......very long comment(s) over, sorry If I bored ya.

  • Euro version re-scored it really badly (stop using really badly produced techno/ dance house when re-scoring eastern films!!!) this version keeps it's original score and it serves it all the better for it. Martial arts movies to me are more than an addiction, they are what I want my future work to be about and whilst I love Donnie yen movies (Flash point and Ip man being great) and Tony Jaa ( apart from Ong back3 -lovely production it terms of aesthetic but where the hell was the martial arts??

  • Have just finished watching this, as an Actor, Martial artist and also musician I wanna say this movie was well executed in all three. As a martial arts film it was a simple narrative, used many times before but this time used in the right way. Yes there is a long arse opening before any of the fighting begins, there are a load of still shots with only music to highlight the drama and not much dialogue but if you stick with it it pays off. OK the fighting does have SOME telegraphed sequences

  • Right you lot need educating. I train in pencak silat, and yes it is indonesian. And is one of the most complete martial arts there is. It has everything ground fighting, mid- range and up right. With the ability to flow from either perfectly with out breaking posture. It has its own yoga too, using all the postures from the martial arts side of it. Training requires alot of body conditioning to be able to flow through all these postures, which is a large part of training.

  • awesome

  • hmm its on psn store so might just download it i like the sound effects the hits don't make the absurd noises they do in most martial arts films they sound more realistic i like that. Hopefully it has similar camerawork to tony jaas films the camerawork in them is some of the finest ive ever seen in a martial arts film the seen running thru the multistory restuarant in warrior king is outstanding for instance

  • tony jaa wanna be

  • @bmworgii well no given its a completly differnet martial art

  • the ending makes sense ...and awake to all people...sorry if my english a bit cockup...listen to ur mom always ....

  • @NefertitiSoulja999 it a Indonesia (i think ) traditional martial art. Very effective. the full name is pancak silat (I think)

  • SUPPER GOOD

    I always want to see silat in movie version

    Indonesia right ? 

  • tra la la

  • watch puteri gunung ledang..it also performed the martial art of silat

    

  • @LuqmaNeo

    already watch it long time ago.very very very suck.boring shit

  • this shit is nothink kompers to ong bak. tony jaa 4ever

  • Yes Iko is trying to copy Tony Jaa's fighting style!

  • @PathGrinder he did not copy tony jaa's fighting style,for you info,tony jaa learn silat too.

  • silat in this movie really come from Indonesia, not Malaysia...in Indonesia we have many different silat style. Cimande, Sera, Harimau, Bangau Putih, Merpati Putih, Perisai Diri, etc. You don't know Minangkabau..???? Minangkabau is West Sumatra, Sumatra is Indonesia...Silat Harimau originally come from Minangkabau, West Sumatra, Indonesia.

  • LoL the ending..i hate it.. i though it will be a nice ending .. yuda married astri ..

  • This movie is really good and a good story in it !!! Very disappointed with the ending .

  • @lucaineire yup true.....the ending was really anti climax and disappointing....

  • i bet this cant beat ong bak :D

  • @jokerxXxjenny it doesnt,u can tell hes inspired from tony jaa though

  • @XBOX36OKID yeah tony jaa is the shit at this day.

  • @jokerxXxjenny ong bak 3 this september

  • @jokerxXxjenny ong bak 3 sucks

  • @jokerxXxjenny ong bak 3 isnt out....

  • @Huhmasta i already watched it dude >.< dvd lol

  • @jokerxXxjenny WHAT!?!?!!?

  • @Huhmasta yeah its true. ong bak 3 got some fucking magic on it -.- makes the movies sucks

  • @jokerxXxjenny god damn it, I hate it when martial arts movie classics get fucked up with stupid sequels...same thing happened to Best of the Best. The first one was the only good one. The later sequels had absolutely nothing to do with the original...

  • @Huhmasta thats freakin right. have you seen undisputed 2 and 3? xD too much cheezy xD not like the first one xD

  • @jokerxXxjenny haha actually I havent seen the first Undisputed, only the second and third ones. I actually like them a lot, I dont think they strayed too far from the original outline (badasses fight for freedom in russian prison)

  • @Huhmasta i see lol, yeah the fights are cool the only think i dont like is too much "air spin time" lol you will thought that he will kick with left but he will use his right then back to left again. lol for me thats too cheezy xD

  • @jokerxXxjenny but I love those crazy ass air spin kicks! Scott Adkins is the master at those.

  • @Huhmasta lol i see, have you seen the movie chocolate? try it its a female version of ong bak

  • @jokerxXxjenny I have seen the trailer and have officially fallen in love with jeeja yanin, but I havent had the time to watch Chocolate. But I'll probably watch it really soon.

  • @Huhmasta its 10 times better than ong bak 3

  • @jokerxXxjenny phew thank god

  • @Huhmasta i dont know but do you like Ip man 1 and 2? so badass

  • @jokerxXxjenny I've only seen ip man 1 and that was SOO badass. But I didnt see ip man 2, I heard it was bad so I was too scared to watch it....

  • @Huhmasta there is only one ugly part in Ip man 2 and it was when they are fighting in the tables. but the rest is good. trust me he fought a boxer

  • @jokerxXxjenny a boxer you say? :O

  • @Huhmasta yeah, there goes the spoiler lol and bruce fucking lee is there hahaha the biggest spoiler

  • @jokerxXxjenny actually I kinda already knew that. I mean I know Ip man was Bruce Lee's FIRST martial arts teacher. but yeah sounds real cool

  • @Huhmasta go see it dude. its cool

  • @jokerxXxjenny I shall :D

  • well hey i love the Malaysia people i would love to come to ur country 1 day and learn ur art of martial arts.. i bet it might be alot more poverty over there but atleast the people are a hell of alot friendlier lol.. us americans dont believe in culture anymore we praise false gods

  • @Darrielm This Is Indonesian Movie... Not Malaysian.. :)

  • @imintsable thank u for correcting me brother

  • @imintsable hahha so shame tat guy

  • @imintsable yeah,but this martial art is from malaysia

  • @sharkA7X  Yeah.... :)

  • @Darrielm hey man this is indonesia but if yo wanna learn how to do that come to malaysia =D

  • the moves are a little bit slow......

  • onceigoblack: what is ur problem actually, malysian and silat never disturb U.. owh my god, why do you create this guy into human why don't juz create him into an animal who didn't disturb people..

  • @khairul493 yup good luck to u and ur country with me.

  • @khairul493 u seem stressed, learn relax like human or ur malay silat thing that never is annoying.

  • haha, thats right children. i warned u, now face to face.

  • machetewarrior and onceeigoblack. Every martial art in the world has their own advantages and dissadvantage ok.

  • @khairul493 Yes, I agree. :) Don't know what's that guy problem with silat.

  • @machetewarrior is this ur silat? running to other people for some comfort and support? the end of the end super end. "epic fail" dudes.

  • @onceigoblack No, the crybaby person is you. Crying on every silat videos on youtube looking for me. :)

  • @machetewarrior no idiot, u cried first :) fuck silat and ur country :) buh bye.

  • @khairul493 yes, but that is not what im saying..its not ok if u dont get it and try the debate.

  • im four see bitch, where are u now?

  • @onceigoblack Wanna start again?

    Well, I'm curious to how your brain works.

    Answer this simple question, Who do you think will win?

    Muay thai fighter with bow and arrows vs archer with bow and arrows?!

    Muay thai fighter with a rifle vs military sniper with a rifle?!

    Remember to answer using your own stupid logic below :

    'an art trained with a weapon is weaker than the art trained with the hands to hold the weapon' - onceigoblack, May 2010.

    And don't give idiotic answer.

  • @machetewarrior stupid bitch, what takes u so long? and now u have the comfort of ur backup nearby, what a fucking stupid bitches. how my brain works? ur an idiot. why r u bringing this bow arrow archer military sniper shit into this? not solely just a knife fight anymore cunt?

  • @machetewarrior listen up slut, how about a muay thai warrior well trained in archery and knives decides one day to join the military for sniper training? his background will be based from the strong muay thai stances and moves which silat doesnt start with. its easy to learn weapons after the body is strong and ready. silat is a weaker foundation to build from. how can u use my words against me if u r too stupid to understand what matters in the first place?

  • @onceigoblack Well, based on your idiot logic, your muay thai must join the military first before beats the sniper right? Then your muay thai warrior has to be learned silat fighting knife first and join the silat school before he can beat the silat fighter. FAIL again dude.

  • @machetewarrior ur a waste of my time stupid child bitch. seriously i could easily say more, but thats what u r, just another stupid bitch dude. if i fought u, i would win. fuck u, silat and malaysia piece of shit.

  • @onceigoblack What's wrong with Malaysia, dude. I live far away from there country. They're nice people, and now you messed up with them. Just be careful.

    Idiot.

  • @machetewarrior because thats what this conversation is about, hating u, wimpy silat and small dick malaysia. tell ur family and friends to watch out for me.

    a legend never dies. do i lie shitbrain?

  • @onceigoblack Well good luck then with the Malaysian.

  • @machetewarrior yup good luck to u and ur country with me.

  • @onceigoblack What's my country name again? Now, you messed with wrong people. I'm laughing harder now.

  • @machetewarrior messed with the wrong people? i wanna hear that stupid bitch laugh of urs, makes me hard, wanna ram my cock into ur asshole of a country.

  • @onceigoblack Yes, Yes you do asswipe

  • @onceigoblack dude, whats your problem? stop bitching you little bitch. you must got ass kicked by a silat practitioner, havent you? I bet you dont even know a thing about martial arts. your just an internet junkie... Fuck you... :D

  • @47zencreative no one could kick my ass, every one i came into contact with could not fight on their own, they had to call for backup, didnt they? there is always a way to defeat my opponent. seriously piece of shit, ur all just stupid bitches using little tricks. if the truth doesnt hit u now, it will hit u hard later nigwop faggot. fuck u, fuck silat and fuck ur country.

  • @onceigoblack damn you are a faggot... your just a keyboard warrior you little bitch fag of an asshole you. put up or shut the fuck up... A pussy is what you are... unless you give us proof that you can defend yourself using only your vibrators or what not, I suggest you put your toys, shove them in your ass, then shut up... because no one likes a liar, and fags... just so happens your both. :D

  • @47zencreative u dont understand what a liar is little stupid bitch. and i will always hate u stupid bitches. if u think u can fight on ur own piece of shit, i will easily show u what putting up means. hopefully u r an italian or russian italian looking fucker, thats the target i love best.

  • @47zencreative u r my toys, i will shove one of u sluts into another one of u sluts. maybe the ur entire world likes to hide in the internet and lie, most may even love it nigwop faggot. i have 3 identities and u know it. yup good luck to u and ur country with me. good riddance,

  • @onceigoblack nagging bitch.. hahahahahahhahahah... stop nagging and start filming your fights... Not including this one... or is this the only fight you can handle? the one that doesn't involve any movement, just sitting there, typing things you dont even have the slightest of comprehension. I pitty you you slut.... and for the record, when you said "u r my toys", you confirmed by belief that you are a fag... I wash my hands of you, Good day to you, ya little bitch ass fag :D

  • @47zencreative ur just one burned up faggot, u hit like a girl nigwop faggot. wanna film it? u hit with ur weak ass punch slap, and i will hit u back. film it? u and me.

  • @onceigoblack Yawn... Do something useful in your life... your pathetic

  • @onceigoblack do You base your knowledge about martial arts from MOVIES? Oh My God... your pitiful... you are soooooooo gay... Newsflash you faggot, movies are fake. Dont tell us that Muay thai is more powerful than Silat just because Ong-bak was greater than Merantau... I have seen the power of Silat AND Muay Thai, Other martial arts as well... I know what Im talking about, and you dont know shit... except that your a whiny little bitch ass faggot that still sucks tities from yo momma :D

  • @machetewarrior go ahead and please quote/ copy me please if ur own words are not enough. i did wanna "start again" but u fucking ran away and cried or some shit.

  • stupid bitch. STUPID BITCH.

  • a human body has 1 head, 2 arms and 2 legs. they are going to go anywhere in combination within the radius of the joint, the length of limbs, and the flexibility of the fighter himself/ herself. a knife is an extension of the hand, the hand being an extension of the arm. so, how many techniques with knives could there possibly be im asking you?

  • Nagyon ügyes,de tony jaa csak 1 van!!!

  • silat gt many types u know..in this movie..that is silat harimau(tiger)..lolx

  • dont say like that..silat exist before portugis attack malaya in 1511..

  • gonna go with tony jaa still, havent seen this movie yet, but what ive seen still doesnt compare to the power tony shows.

  • @onceigoblack ; I am a big fan of Ong Bak and Tony Jaa but I love Merantau better than Ong Bak, because Merantau has better storyline, the acting of the casts is better and most of all because it is more realistic than Ong Bak. The hero is not portrayed as a the invincible superhero, rather as normal human being. Iko's moves in this movie are not really spectacular but lethal and effective for real life fights. You have to see the movie to understand what I mean.

  • @venomscorpion yes i agree with u

  • @venomscorpion i agree with you on everything, but i dont understand what you mean by a real fight as ive encountered countless people who cant fight or think on their own. anyway, the plot was good, the cast as well. the two enemies at the end were slow and pulled out one too many spinning kicks to make it "realistic".

  • @venomscorpion- the storyline is slightly better i guess than ong bak, just because ong bak had more ridiculous scenes like the motorcycles and skaters. whats next, an elephant is smuggled to the us and he has to battle the oakland raiders? if i had to choose between tony and iko, id still pick tony. the differences between their acting abilities isnt much, but tony is still the faster and harder hitter.

  • @onceigoblack Tony is more of a precise, patience, and hard hitter fighter. Iko is just too sloppy.

  • @onceigoblack Every story has their ways fight ... if you want say Tony jaa good , well say it .... this movies more about storyline and way silat style fight with other people ... silat got more 100+ style

  • @eastimer55 if i had to pick silat or muy thai, id choose muy thai. there should be more full extensions to give power. when i look at silat, i see folded arms and legs, i see small movements like rabbits.

  • @onceigoblack Yeah, i agree. If the goal is for unarmed one against one fight, I'll take muay thai. But for self defense situation like facing attacker with knife, multiple attackers, or weapon fights I'll take silat or fma. If you add some bjj for groundfighting, it would be a complete package for a self defense :)

  • @machetewarrior what about a muay thai fighter armed with a knife vs a silat fighter armed with a knife?

  • @onceigoblack If you look on youtube, there are thousands of videos of knife attacking and disarming techniques in silat. As for muay thai, I haven't seen any dealing with knife technique. You can figure it for yourself who'd be survived. :)

  • ive never heard of knife defense in muay thai and when you read your post just now, i searched "muay thai knife" on youtube and awud mied was the result, never seen it before. i suspect any martial art is going to train with knives, but you are missing my point.

  • to be more clear to you, i will ask you again, who would win, a powerful and flexible muay thai fighter, with a knife and trained with it, versus, a flexible silat fighter, with a knife and trained with it, not extended the arm for the power to execute a stab? because, as i said, when i look at silat, i see neglected use of power and small movements from here to just over there. in muay thai, no power is neglected, and movements are from here to way over there compared to your silat.

  • you have already failed to figure this out for yourself (insert smiley here). as for me, id rather watch about 15-20 significant videos rather than boast about a so-called 1000 redundant and lame videos. thats only if you know what to look for.

  • @onceigoblack I could easily give you 15-20 of what you called 'lame videos' which are more fast and brutal than the 'awud mied' you mentioned. :)

    The knife is not only an extension of the hand. You got to avoid the hand holding the knife at any cost. Even you got power and flexibility you still have to know the right strategy and proper technique to striking, dodging and disarming without injuring yourself. Brutally attacking a knife expert with full power could ended up injuring yourself.

  • dont even try giving me 15-20 of whatever u got, u would need backup, teehee. would you just give up already, u are missing the point again. u r being a pest. why avoid the hand holding the knife? nevermind, like i said child, a muay thai fighter trained in knife will defeat ur non powerful silat with knife. the stronger art wins before any weapons fool. add a technique to the strong art, the technique becomes strong. add a technique to ur weaker silat against muay thai and its still weak.

  • @onceigoblack You know nothing about knife fight.

  • if u think ur that tough bitch, put down ur weapons and lets fight out hand to hand.

  • Like I said, a muay thai well trained in knife will defeat ur weaker art of silat well trained in knife. Like I said fool, the smart warrior realizing where power comes from, whether it be from an extension of the arm to the slight rotations of the wrist, is indeed going to win.

  • @onceigoblack No, the fighter with blade expertise will win. :)

  • im never going to be friends with u or hang with u. and everyone else knows im not going to be friends with them or hang with them either, but im fucking right on this one too. fuck u. 8)

  • ur right, the muay thai fighter expertising in knife will win u stupid piece of shit.

  • @onceigoblack Yeah but their training is emphasized for striking. Show me videos of muay thai training with blade if any? :)

  • i dont need to prove anything to u stupid bitch. u just keep repeating urself. the stronger art wins over ur weaker art of silat. what took u so long to respond bitch?

  • @onceigoblack No it's the art that train with blade. :)

  • @machetewarrior I see, so Tony Jaa can wrap blades around his forearms, and ur wimpy no power Iko can hold a knife in one hand. Be my guest stupid bitch. keep going..

  • @onceigoblack Yeah, whatever goes in the movie I don't care. In real life, it's the art that train with blade have higher chance to win. :)

  • @machetewarrior u think im saying the film is real life? its just to make ur shitbrains understand u will never win against me in this. u keep saying this is a knife fight, because u already agreed that muay thai is the stronger hand to hand. now stupid bitch worthless malaysian, ur making it worse. an art trained with a blade is weaker than the art trained with the hands to hold the weapon. keep going nigwop faggot, keep going.

  • @onceigoblack Show me the proof.

  • @machetewarrior wow ur very stupid.

  • @machetewarrior give me ur cell phone number, i will call u.

  • @onceigoblack EPIC FAIL.

  • @machetewarrior u couldnt hang, u turned ur head away to hide ur tears, im done with u and ur lame tricks stupid bitch, first.

  • @machetewarrior I guess I win u stupid bitch.

  • @onceigoblack No, you fail to give proof and evidence to your argument. :)

  • When I see true muay thai, I see warriors who know where power comes from compared to your weaker silat movements. yes bla bla not only this or that dum fuck, add it to the stronger art it becomes strong. but what ur talking about? ur fucking limited. save urself from embarressment. cum on ur shitbrain wimp.

  • @onceigoblack Show me the proof....

  • u stupid bitch, the proof is right there, ur a fucking idiot and a wimp for thinking ur not a dum fuck. ur an easy slut.

  • @onceigoblack Where?

  • come to the U.S.

  • where the fuck r u stupid bitch?

  • This film is wicked and definatly asia`s next big action hero!!!

  • Similar story line as with most of these movies so it's no more copying Ong Bak than an other Martial Arts movie is copying another.

  • This is a great movie. Plenty of references being made to it being the Indonesian "Ong Bak"

    A compliment indeed.

    A great movie for those of you interested in or practicing Silat.

    Similar feeling I would imagine to the 1st time many people 1st seen Ong Bak.

    Lot's of techniques used that you may have been unaware of & that may surprise you.

    The execution & choreography is not quiet as sharp as in Ong Bak but it's not too far off.

  • great work..salute

  • @zeeman11 wth u r saying silat is rubbish? even bruce lee dying because of silat and u still wanna say that silat is rubbish? damn u motherfucker!

  • @zeeman11 kepalapukimakbapak ko la babi

  • This guy is a TONY JAA WANNABE but don't come close.Silat is rubbish.

  • Absolute toss pot. You haven't a clue.

    So every guy that does a martial arts movie based on his style is a Tony Jaa wannabe, yeah.

    Tony Jaa is a Jackie Chan wannabe then, no wait, he's a Jet Li wannabe, no wait.... I mean he's a Bruce Lee wannabe.

    You are a tool & you have no idea about the martial art Silat.

    I'd love to see how you fair out to a Silat practitioner.

  • Listen you Irish cunt, I know one thing I would fuck you up real bad if u went 1 on 1 with me. But trust me i wont go near you cause ur faggot, and u can act tough with ur words behind ur little pc at home. Tell me one thing, how come these Silat guys don't last 2 minutes against a BJJ/MMA person ?
