The latest work of Gareth and Iko (Both are Dir and lead actor of MERANTAU) called "THE RAID" is out. It premiered at TIFF2011 Toronto few days ago and praised highly by critics and action fans. It's thousand times more action and more deadly than what you've seen in Merantau (or any action movies in decades). SONY has acquired the right for US market and hired Mike Shinoda of LP to retouch the musical score.

Please check "THE RAID"'s trailer here in YouTube. It's f*king awesome =D

Started watching this movie a little past half way through the movie. Hate that because as good as it was I wish I could've seen the WHOLE movie from start to end. So now I will need to buy the DVD to see it in its entirity. It was a really good movie. One reason I like Asian movies is because they are LONG! They really have excellent stories behind all the fighting so it's not just the fighting you see through out. There is a wonderful beautiful love story underlying. It's truly a MUST SEE!

There's a Merpati Putih (White Dove) silat school in Utah.

( h t t p : // mp-usa . org ).

Or, if you have time to spare, you can try a Silat school in Denver, Colorado, named "Inti Ombak" (Inner Wave)" run by an Indonesian.

I never been to US so I don't know whether the place is reachable from where you live, or not. :)

@neoAlchemist684

Glad you like it. :D

You beat me, bro... I am an Indonesian and still have to wait till March to see it. (no thanks to Sony for delaying it).

The Raid has a sequel called "Berandal" and the filming will begin in sometime this midyear. Still with Gareth directing and Iko as lead actor.

Gareth promise that it'll be crazier than The Raid, that everything you see in TR is nothing compared to BERANDAL. It's a good thing, isn't it? :)

Pencak Silat is NOT Kung Fu.

Pencak Silat is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT martial art than Kung Fu.

He's like Tony Jaa on crack.

@sempoyon82 watched the Raid at Sundnace. Best time i've ever had in a movie theatre. Hands down, it blew Tony Jaa out of the water, best action film ever.

saya orang minangkabau asli, merantau adalah kata yang tidak asing bagi saya, pria yang sudah berumur didesa biasanya akan dibekali ilmu beladiri silat, dan filsafat hidup, itulah orang minang, kebanyakan mereka sukses dinegri orang,.....
