Indonesian Kung Fu films

From Suara Karya

Indonesian film producers are now making more serious efforts in making Kung Fu serials adapted from books. An example is the adventure stories of Wiro Sableng (Crazy Warrior) aired by RCTI on Sundays at 11:00 a.m.. The actors and actresses play their roles seriously and perform interesting moves.

The scenes are smooth, and the acting techniques no less interesting than the Chinese originals. The other serial which is equally interesting is Singgasana Brama Kumbara, starring distinguished actors and actresses and aired Saturdays on ANteve. This story is adapted from a radio drama and is flavored with historical settings. The costumes are designed to reflect the culture during the Pajajaran Kingdom. Both RCTI and ANteve deserve recognition for the shows.

They can now reduce the number of Chinese Kung Fu shows by eliminating the less interesting ones. I admit that many Chinese action films, like Great Conspiracy, Grand Canal, and Silk Snake Musketeer, are good.
