<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">While Tarzan Raja Rimba is relatively straight-faced, films like Ismail Yassin’s Tarzan and Tin Tan, el Hombre Lobo have shown us that interpretations of Tarzan from non-English speaking countries are just as likely to be satirical as they are reverent, and furthermore -- as with the Zimbo movies -- there is often a very fine line between the two. It’s hard to imagine that filmmakers of color -- especially those from countries that had seen white colonial rule –- didn’t encounter difficulties in uncritically addressing the idea of this white interloper, god-like in his physical perfection, who proves himself capable of outdoing indigenous people even at their own indigenousness. (I mean, really, what are Dances With Wolves and Avatar, at their core, other than simply the Tarzan fantasy in different drag?) Given that, one might expect to find at least a little ambivalence in their depictions of our loincloth clad friend.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Directed by the prolific Lilik Sudjio -- who also gave us Neraka Lembah Tengorak, Darna Ajaib, and the Suzzanna fronted horror classic Queen of Black Magic –- the film is a vehicle for popular Indonesian comedian and singer Benyamin Sueb. Sueb, a member of Jakarta’s Betawi ethnic group, made close to fifty low budget films in the brief period between 1970 and 1978, many of them spoofing Western archetypes from the distinct cultural perspective of the Betawis.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Now, I’d love to tell you what Tarsan Pensiunan is about, but I’m afraid it resisted my entry as vigorously as Tarzan Raja Rimba, with all of its familiar tropes, welcomed it. And given that there is little likelihood that it might ever make the transition beyond unsubtitled Southeast Asian market VCDs, I imagine that it will stay that way. Sadly, the film’s humor is overwhelmingly dialog-based, and its attitude toward pacing and narrative so relaxed that I had to wonder how big a role pot plays in Betawi culture. I couldn’t even tell you for sure whether Benyamin Sueb was meant to be playing Tarzan or simply someone who thought he was Tarzan.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

The film’s title apparently translates as “Retired Tarzan”, and I had to wonder, based on the way it’s pronounced in the film, if the word “Pensiunan” was simply an Indo-friendly phonetic spelling of the word “pension”. In any case, what we have for a good part of the film is Sueb –- who wears the same outfit of tee-shirt and striped boxers throughout –- puttering around aimlessly and driving the two (I think) relatives he’s living with crazy.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Eventually the film ambles back to Jakarta, where it spends a lot of time on Sueb himself ambling about with a friend of his who has taken to wearing an ape costume. They do a fake trick monkey act to defraud spectators, and then go to a public park and scare passers-by. Occasionally Sueb sings one of his songs, which tend to be rather unremarkable but inoffensive fusion-y rock numbers. The film is over two hours long.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Not that I can say for sure, mind you, but the movie appears to be mining absurdity from the spectacle of the low key Sueb basically going around being himself while half-heartedly pretending to be Tarzan. In other words, if this movie could be said to be about Tarzan at all, there’s such a yawning ironic distance between him and any of the characters we see on screen that his presence is vestigial at best.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

And I think the only conclusions you can draw from that are either that that concept is so sturdily anchored within popular culture that it can stand up to any punishment thrown at it, or that, instead, Tarzan is as semiotically naked as he is naked naked, and can mean whatever whose wearing his skin at the moment wants him to. If I found Tarzan more interesting than the things that Indonesian, Egyptian, Indian and Mexican filmmakers did with him, I might devote more thought to that. But, to be honest, if it weren’t for films like these, I’d never give the dumb brute a second thought.

<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Here's an Indonesian action film that will have you howling with laughter at the terrible miniature effects and the blatantly obvious rear-screen projection process that's littered throughout. During the mid-80's, a time when terrorist groups are hijacking planes and blowing up buildings around the world, a group of crooks pretend to be terrorists to pull off a bank robbery. Little do the crooks know that a world-renown terrorist named Gozal (El Manik; HELL RAIDERS - 1985) was hired to head the robbery team by a crooked hospital executive named Mr. Santos, who needs the money to save his floundering hospital. Gozal recruits professional crook John (Advent Bangun; THE BLIND WARRIOR - 1987) to help him pull off the robbery and he agrees to do it as long as politics aren't involved, but as he will soon find out, politics is the least of his problems. When the crooks try to enter the bank and the newly installed bomb detector goes off, it leads to a lengthy (and hilariously inept) car chase, where the crooks destroy their car, steal a truck and crash it into the front of a hospital. Guess which hospital it is? Yep, it's Mr. Santos' hospital and soon Gozal uses the time bombs in his possession to hold the hospital and it's occupants' hostage as the police surround the hospital and SWAT helicopters hover overhead. The first thing Gozal does is kill Mr. Santos to keep him from talking and he then plants the bombs around the hospital, setting them to go off at 7:00 PM. The police call in a SWAT team Captain (Barry Prima; THE WARRIOR - 1981) to kill the "terrorists" and he does just that, killing every one of them (including John) except Gozal, who escapes through the stairwell after setting off a bomb, engulfing the hospital in flames (you gotta see it to believe it) and trapping many innocent people, including infirmed patients, inside. Gozal, who has now gone completely bonkers, roams the hospital's smoke-filled corridors firing his weapons aimlessly and shouting "You're all gonna die!" while the fire department and police try to rescue people in the hospital. Gozal grabs a newborn baby, goes to the hospital's roof and demands a helicopter picks him up or he will kill the baby. Instead, the police helicopter-in Gozal's wife and young son to the roof in a rope net (!) to distract Gozal long enough so that the SWAT Captain can shoot him (and an innocent doctor!) dead in front of his family.

<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Where do I begin to describe how badly entertaining this no-budget actioner really is? It's a cross between DIE HARD and HARD BOILED, but made years before anyone even heard of those two films. All the explosions are done with miniature model buildings that are so bad, they make the structures stomped on by Godzilla in the 60's look highly detailed. Clearly, 80% of the film was shot using out-of-focus rear-projected backgrounds, most of it so ineptly obvious, especially the car/truck chase, that I nearly peed my pants from laughing so hard. The entire hospital sequence is so chintzy in it's execution, it takes on an otherworldly quality. Director/co-scripter Imam Tantowi, who also directed BLAZING BATTLE (1983) and wrote the screenplays for SATAN'S SLAVE (1982) and THE DEVIL'S SWORD (1984), hasn't got a clue on how to pace a film, as THE TERRORISTS simply jumps from one mind-numbing scene to the next (including a hilarious encounter with a bomb maker who secretly poisons the entire robbery team until they pay him!), culminating in one of the most unbelievable (not to mention unlawful) endings I have ever witnessed. What law agency in their right mind would ever put a terrorist's wife and kid in a rope net and hover them over the roof of a burning hospital so they can try and talk him into giving up? Add to that constant scenes of people getting shot (lots of bloody bullet squibs), running around on fire, jumping off the hospital roof and hitting the ground (more rear projection work that elicits laughs rather than gasps) and a police force more concerned about killing bad guys than saving innocent lives (the cops end up killing more innocents than the bad guys!) and what you end up with is a deliriously illogical actioner that is must-viewing for all fans of Indonesian insanity. Search it out. Also starring Deddy Mizwar, Yos Cano, Janis Badar, Belqiez Rahman, Elyzabeth Tvonne, Yoseano Wasa, Anto Indracahya and Tizar Purbaya. El Badrun, who also has a role here, handled the shoddy miniature effects work.

But someone is watching them, a person dressed in black and with an urge to kill, kill, kill! He (or she) takes them down one by one... until there's one final girl left. Will she survive?

Sure, it completely lacks originality, but still looks fine - especially in the night-scenes. Lots of atmosphere and beautiful jungle locations. I saw it with out subtitles, and had no problems following the story and character developments. It's not much of a horror movie from the beginning (the first victim, before the credits, it's a very silly looking man with moustach and small, small swimming trunks - but after that we have more of an ordinarly thriller for an hour or so, with a cool and stunt-filled boat-chase and a couple of nice explosions.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Scene for scene is ripped off, but I'm sad to say that most of the killings are very offscreen and not bloody at all. But this version (downloaded, ripped from a VCD) might be cut too, because the editing during the murder scenes was a bit strange. But if you can live with that, you'll see how the final girl takes shelter in a house, someone throws her boyfriend through the window, she escapes, runs into a woman that tells the backstory and then is the killer herself! Another nice cat fight here (mixed with some martial arts), our heroine kills the murdered and wakes up in a boat where someone is dragging her into the water. All this is looks good and is well made, but of course never reaches the tension like in the original movie. In a weird sequence they also seem to imitate slow-motion! Which looks completely silly, but a fun touch to the cat fight.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <span style=";font-family:";font-size:12;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">Here it is, folks: An Indonesian version of FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980). Since this film isn't dubbed or subtitled in English and my Indonesian is a little rusty, here's what I can make out: Three treasure hunters go to an abandoned camp in the woods (the sign reads "Siru Angsana") and use scuba gear to dive for submerged treasure in the adjoining lake. Their hunt is put in jeopardy when two women, Nina and Kristy, and their male friend, Bonno, decide to use the lake as a vacation getaway. When Nina nearly drowns while swimming in the lake, one of the treasure hunters (Berry "Barry" Prima) saves her and it's not long before a romance develops between them, which pisses off his stern boss. When Kristy hooks up with Johan, the othe young treasure hunter, their boss gets even more pissed off. What the six people really have to worry about, though, is the mysterious killer dressed in black (complete with black gloves and ski mask) who is watching their every move. The mystery killer disrupts the treasure hunters' next outing on the lake by trying to run them over in a power boat, even throwing dynamite into the water! Prima (his character's name in unpronouncable, so I'm just gonna call him "Prima") gives chase in his boat, which results in the mystery killer crashing the power boat into the jagged rocks on shore, the boat exploding into a fireball. The three treasure hunters recover a huge wooden crate from the lake and when they open it, all they find is a rotting human body, which they intend to turn over to the police the next day (Nina has a nightmare that night that three corpses rise from the lake, carry her to the crate, then throw her in it and close the lid). A bad thunderstorm blows in which forces Nina, Kristy and Bonno to abandon their tent and stay with the treasure hunters in the cabin. It's at this time that the shit hits the fan. When Kristy goes to take a shower, the killer splits her head open with an axe. The killer then slams Bonno's head under the hood of a Land Rover and then uses the Land Rover to run over the Boss. Johan gets speargunned and Prima gets impaled with a pitchfork. All that is left is Nina, who gets a visit from another female friend, who turns out to be the killer (she's the Mrs. Vorhees of this film). She relates a story to Nina (told in flashback) about her involvement of the murdered body in the crate and how she tried to cover it up by putting the body in the lake. Since the body has been discovered, she has no choice but to kill everyone who saw it. She then goes after Nina with a machete, but Nina fights back and defeats her attacker with a machete blow to the heart (I guess the filmmakers couldn't afford a decapitation).</span><span style="font-size:100%;">

Kristy's death by axe is only shown as shadows on a wall, Bonno's head-crushing is viewed only in a long shot and when the Boss is run over, we only see a close-up of his face with blood coming out of his mouth. Though we do not actually see Barry Prima (THE DEVIL'S SWORD - 1984; REVENGE OF NINJA - 1984) get killed, we do see his body impaled on a pitchfork later on. As with most Indonesian exploitation films, there are a couple of "What The Fuck?" moments, one of them being when Nina and Kristy begin fighting each other like two kung-fu masters (complete with exaggerated sound effects) for no apparent reason that I could discern (again, I don't speak the language, so I could have missed something). That scene does set up the finale, where Nina takes on the mystery woman. I dare you not to laugh at Nina's sudden changeover from victim to victor. After being uncerimoniously slapped around and abused, she then takes a martial arts stance and proceeds to beat the crap out of her attacker and then stabs her in the heart just to make sure we know she means business! The ending is a scene-by-scene steal of the original FRIDAY THE 13TH shock coda, complete with Nina in a canoe out in the middle of the lake, the police waving her in and a Jason-like creature jumping out of the water to grab her out of the canoe, all while a faux Harry Manfredini score plays on the soundtrack! If you don't mind derivative filmmaking and can watch a film in a strange language with no English help, SRIGALA (when translated, means "Fox") may be worth a few chuckles. Just don't go in expecting the graphic bloodletting normally associated with films from Indonesia, because you will be disappointed. It's not exactly dry, but it's not as wet as it should have been since it was made made for Rapi Films, Indonesia's premiere purveyors of sleazy entertainment. Also starring Lydia Kandou, S. Parya, Siska Widowati, Dorman Borisman, Rudy Salam and Meike Wijaya. I couldn't make out any other credits because the fullscreen print I viewed was severely cropped and projected dead-center, cutting off all the credits on both ends (the film's title only shows "IGA" on-screen!).

This was the first of two turns by Prima in the Tarzan role, the second being in the following year’s Tarzan Penunggu Harta Karun directed by M. Agnar Romli.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Of course, while this is a Tarzan film in name, it is, more importantly, a Barry Prima film, and so we get a version of Tarzan who gorily kung fus people to death. Yay! Tarzan’s favorite method of dispatch is to toss an opponent onto a convenient bamboo spike or pointy tree limb, but the logging aspect of the story also provides a generous supply of nasty hardware to further the carnage, including a band saw which Tarzan tests against the villain’s neck during the climactic fight.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Early in the film, Karina, a female member of the logging team, is shown tossing restlessly in her bed, consumed by thoughts of the muscled jungle man. (And, after all, this is Barry Prima we’re talking about –- and he does look amazing in his loincloth and little leopard skin boots –- so who can blame her?) Later, she somehow falls afoul of her crooked colleagues and is forced to flee the camp. The expected menu of jungle perils follows, and she is ultimately driven into the protective arms of Tarzan. However, Prima’s Tarzan is not the thick-skulled, unwitting sexual catalyst that we see in, say, the Zimbo movies, but is rather played by the star as being articulate, authoritative, and not a little bit arrogant.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

The most notable change in this regard is that, rather than an ape, Tarzan’s faithful animal companion is instead a bear –- and a bear played by a man in a very obvious bear costume, at that. (In fact, I think we may be seeing here an early appearance by the Masturbating Bear, back in the days before he succumbed to compulsive onanism). This bear leads the climactic elephant charge upon the villain’s camp at the movie’s conclusion, and also gruesomely mauls to death one of the female bad guys. At least, I think that’s what he’s doing.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

There’s the “tournament” style scene, where Prima’s martial arts skills are tested against a towering, carnivalesque goon in the bad guys’ employ, who seems to have been hanging around in the wings for just that purpose. And then of course there is the requisite tableau of martyrdom in which Prima is chained and abused before dramatically freeing himself to wreak havoc upon his oppressors. All of this, in sum, means that, if you are a Prima fan –- as I most certainly am –- this will probably be the best Tarzan movie you’ve ever seen.</span><o:p></o:p></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17556748701863554140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867015330467454831.post-6896032051271648512010-12-27T16:42:00.000-08:002010-12-27T16:58:07.896-08:00War Victims (1983)<meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cstumpy%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p face="arial" class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVhU-eaC6MOi8cHIXsU2X3wMTMtkTUSw2h44cFaZeYK1IlZufUNz1X9APD_jso5nCS9lE4DbZyuWNkVv2oVQylFYLD99CESa804TOMdexYrUBiTC9260MxFzlpjuRlhgMypXLCVK2S1U/s1600/war+victins.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVhU-eaC6MOi8cHIXsU2X3wMTMtkTUSw2h44cFaZeYK1IlZufUNz1X9APD_jso5nCS9lE4DbZyuWNkVv2oVQylFYLD99CESa804TOMdexYrUBiTC9260MxFzlpjuRlhgMypXLCVK2S1U/s320/war+victins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555528923419075298" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">1983 - <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Kamp Tawanan Wanita</span> </span>(P.T.

This film actually makes a strong political statement about patriotism and the willingness to suffer greatly for your cause. During World War II, an Indonesian girl named Amelia (Marissa Haque) is sent to an all-female P.O.W. camp, run by brutal Japanese soldiers, after watching her rebel opposition boyfriend get riddled with bullets by the Japs. Once at the camp, she and the other women are subjected to sadistic torture and sexual abuse by the male guards. Amelia, who is pregnant, loses her baby during one such torture session, but she refuses to give up hope (She says, "Freedom must be earned. We must be willing to sacrifice everything else in our life for it."). When the Allies bomb the camp from the air (and accidentally kill one of the women), a visiting Japanese General theorizes that one of the female prisoners must be a spy (it's Amelia) since the camp is also a secret ammunition depot (One of the female prisoners steps out of formation, rips open her blouse and shows the General her hideously deformed breasts, the product of the camp's torture techniques. The General is so disgusted by what he sees, he orders her to be shot! His orders are carried out immediately.). Amelia is raped the next day by the camp's most brutal guard, Sgt, Tukigawa. When she reports it to the camp's commander, Nokamura (the only Japanese soldier here depicted as having anything close to a conscience), he tells Amelia that without corroboration, there's nothing he can do. When two of his guards are killed by mistake (one is shot and killed by his own buddy when his gun discharges accidentally), Nokamura has no choice but to force the women to stand in the blazing sun with no water. One of the women goes mad with heatstroke and is shot dead trying to escape by climbing over the camp's barbwire fence. Amelia and most of the women come up with a plan for escape and attempt it one night when Nokamura is away (He's actually at headquarters pleading for better treatment of his prisoners!). They fail miserably, as some of the women are shot, one is attacked by a huge snake, another steps on an explosive boobytrap and some are electrocuted on the camp's fence. Amelia then becomes Nokamura's lover, which pisses-off the rest of the female prisoners. Is Amelia simply pretending until the right time comes along for her to strike or is her love for Nokamura real? It seems it's a little of both, as Amelia ends up pregnant with Nokamura's baby, but when the rebels storm the camp and free the women, Nokamura commits hara-kiri rather than being captured. Once again, Amelia is left alone and pregnant, only this time she can raise her child in freedom.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<br /><span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <span style=";font-family:";font-size:12;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">WAR VICTIMS (a.k.a. KAMP TAWANAN WANITA) will find no favor with Japanese viewers thanks to their depiction here. All the Nippons, besides Nokamura, are portrayed as maniacal laughing rapists who view the women in the camp as disposable playthings to be used, abused and then killed with hardly an afterthought. The scene where Nokamura leaves the camp to plead with his superiors for humane treatment of his female prisoners, only to be rebuffed, shamed and then told that these women are nothing but cattle and are the spoils of war for the Japanese soldiers to rape, cements the film's political agenda. Director Jopi Burnama (FEROCIOUS FEMALE FREEDOM FIGHTERS - 1982; the amazing THE INTRUDER - 1986), working with a script written by brother Piet Burnama, doesn't skimp on the sleazier aspects of P.O.W. life (there's rape, humiliation, whippings, hangings and brandings), but there's more to this film than sleaze. Burnama shows what it really means to suffer for freedom (most Americans could learn something here), even if the beginning of the film is a little overblown, where we hear a bombastic narrator say, "War is a thrilling and glorious thing only to those that have never experienced it in reality!" and he then goes on even longer giving us examples why! The film closes with the same narrator saying, "And this is war! A Hell on Earth! Will the madmen of the world ever learn this lesson?", followed by a stream of children dressed in white walking across the landscape while "The Beginning" is flashed on-screen. A little heavy-handed? Yes, but it does make it's point rather effectively. The script has a little more meat on it's bones than most Indonesian genre films, but it doesn't sacrifice those ingredients we've come to expect from out friends in the Far East: Namely, outrageous pieces of oddball dialogue ("You're a horse's ass, Mr. Stallion!"), graphic violence (bodies explode; a woman has a sword hammered through her torso while she is tied-up) and nudity. Worth searching out. Also starring Boy Tirayoh, Mangara Siahaan, Farida Ciptadi, Jeffi Sani, Ivina Anwar, Advent Cristy and H. Usman Effendi. This was once available on VHS in the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> from Video City Productions with the nudity optically fogged. The print I viewed was sourced from a Greek-subtitled VHS tape which, in turn, looks to have been sourced from a Japanese print since all the nudity is optically fogged-out and a black band covers the bottom fifth of the screen, blocking out the Japanese subtitles and superimposing the Greek subtitles overtop them!</span>

The movie begins with some Asian women wrestling. There's a kid filled with sickness coughing up a lung while watching the match on TV. And then…well, then some more Asian people talk about diseases and one of the actresses discusses making money as a grappler. Then…the mob, or Yakuza, or some Eastern version of the mafia…the syndicate, that's right, the syndicate shows up and they control all the wrestling in Malaysia, or wherever we are and…it's Indonesia, that's right. Well, the crooks threaten people. So an Amer-Asian man helps the main female fighter to…um…fight. And then there is some more fighting. There is a subplot involving gambling or some manner of match fixing, and then we learn that the little boy from the beginning of the film needs a major medical procedure or his brain will explode, or something. All the while the syndicate is trying to control the sport and business with hired goons and…oh yeah! Right! There's also an undercurrent of unspoken lesbianism in the female mat world (imagine that) since a weird woman leader of a rival gang of wrestlers keeps giving our leading lady big moon eyes. A character or two gets tortured and there is a sex scene and…what was the name of this movie again? I think I've forgotten.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

You think David Lynch's <st1:street st="on"><st1:address st="on">Lost Highway</st1:address></st1:street> is confusing? Still scratching your head over that metaphysical gross-out art piece known as Begotten? Those stylized puzzlers have nothing on this Indonesian conundrum. Obviously, the movie portends to follow the familiar formula of a skilled athlete rescuing her ill brother from certain death by playing within a corrupt but financially viable system. But occasionally, the movie throws this foundation out of focus by highlighting weird suggestions of potential girl-on-girl grinding, introducing incomplete ancillary character backstories, and editing action scenes with a bushido blade. On the <st1:place st="on">Hong Kong</st1:place> scale of successful chop sockey cinema, this rates right below The Adventures of Milo and Otis for fun kung fu fighting, and your average Russian cattle porn has more linear narrative threads. The girlie wrestling is as suggestive and sexual as having a boil lanced, and just when you think you've got everything correctly figured out, another cracked curveball comes meandering over the frame to flummox you all over again. Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters, besides having nothing to do with liberty or rage, can't figure out if it wants to be a wrestling pic with kickboxing or a kickboxing flick with women in unitards. Either way, it's boring, bland and baffling.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Do they simply offer it up as a sample of foreign filmmaking at its most flabby and say, "Sorry folks, but it is kinda stupid, huh?" No, what the do instead is make it a billion times more incredibly asinine by letting founder Lloyd Kaufman's brother Charlie take a What's Up, Tiger Lily? crack at comedying up the crap. Indeed, with the new "funny" overdubbed soundtrack he makes it worse! That's right, when it was simply a sloppy wrestling women movie with unfathomable narrative flubs, it was a forgivable cinematic fart. But when Charles Kaufman tinkers with the tale, he really lets one fly, and the stench spreads like a degenerative case of olfactory awfulness throughout your system. Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters, the dumber dubbed version, is a crude, lewd story of implied incest, infant penile dysfunction, and incredibly raunchy retorts. Kaufman's royal blue humor startles and soils you in a way that, at first, is mildly amusing, but over the course of 90 minutes grows crass and tasteless. For example, the made-up malady for the sick little boy in the film is some strange anatomical idea that his vas deferens runs from his testicles into his head. So he is not supposed to be aroused, lest his skull explodes with sperm. Hardy har har. I mean, the kid is like eight! If you don't think Chuck can draw out multiple gags out of that little bit of biology, you are dead wrong. In addition, crude crap and dick remarks are slathered on in overkill fashion, and just when you think the revelry can't get any more retarded, the male Ameri-Asian lead is turned into an Elvis impersonator, and a very bad one at that. Unfunny voices, near incomprehensible dialogue exchanges, and a plethora of bodily noises create a cinematic experience even more painful than trying to decode the original's intentions. You'll need a shower with real lava to cleanse your carcass of this crusty caca. Re-dubbing a movie has never really worked: Allen's Lily is limited, Kung Pow: Enter The Fist, is just cow dung, and without Godzilla or Mothra around to geek things up, there is no real reason to see or hear Asians speaking sans their natural language. It has been known to be funny in small snippets, but "the hilarious 'Tromatized' post-synchronization" on this film is a consistently flat failure.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

The image is mediocre, faded and full screen. The soundtracks swings between muddled and ear piercing. The introduction by Lloyd himself is entertaining, as usual, and the promotional material from Troma is always good for a laugh. Too bad the movie it's supporting is so stupid, in either format.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

No amount of broad butt kicking and/or gal-on-gal mat mambo can make up for the ridiculous, repulsive movie plot here, whatever it is.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">

You get one of the funniest redubs in film history… Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters! FFFF is the story of Bambi, an exceptional Greco-roman wrestler on her way to the top. Unfortunately her brother has come down with a fatal case of dickosis, a made-up ailment where a buildup of semen goes straight to your brain. The only remedy is surgery, or oral release by a hooker. It’s a shame, but I guess there aren’t any 10 year old prostitutes in the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Philippines</st1:place></st1:country-region>… I had heard differently!</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

But being a trophy model is an unthinkable career, and Bambi not-so-politely declines all of Nathan’s advances. On the way home from an event, Bambi and her best friend Mia get in a little tussle and are aided by karate master and Elvis impersonator Barney. He is also a professional wrestling coach, and after a little persuasion he talks the 2 girls into joining an underground tag-team wrestling federation. As you can imagine a love story begins brewing between Bambi and Barney (who doesn’t love an Elvis impersonator). They are well on their way to making enough money for the surgery… but there is trouble brewing around every corner!</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

I caught this flick on Cinemax in the late 80’s and it took me about 12 years before I could find the movie on VHS. There is some great action throughout including the female wrestling and some pretty good kung-fu scenes. But the real treat here is the comedy. Even though the words might not match up with the lips, the story Troma added to the scenes is just priceless! You get an Elvis impersonator, a talking snake from the ghetto, a girl who hums some of her scenes and a guy nicknamed Monkeyface… what is not to like!!! If you love Troma films, or really any kind of mindless comedy you need to check this film out. I have 2 words for you – Tuna Melt!

During the 1980s and 1990s, Asian horror output was only seen among die hard horror fans, who looked to the far East for more extreme and graphic output. Most of today's Asian favorites are of the ghost or supernatural variety, including The Eye, Ringu, and One Missed Call (all three of which have also spawned mainstream <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> remakes). However, long before any of these films were produced, there was a film released in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region> that some say is one of the earliest example of the modern Asian horror film: The 1979 gore/revenge opus, Queen of Black Magic.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial" class="MsoNormal">

As a witch doctor is killed during an attempted exorcism, his dying words indicate that the person responsible lives to the west. Falsely accusing an old flame for the sorcery, the groom and the nearby townspeople set fire to her house with her mother inside and toss her from the edge of a mountain. After falling and hitting several rocks and trees, her body is recovered by a man near the bottom. He resuscitates her and hides her from the townspeople. Even after all this, her quiet devotion to the groom is evident, and it takes a motivational speech by the man who rescued her for her to understand that revenge must be taken and that those responsible must be punished by means of black magic (that he, of course, will instruct her in). Kind-hearted, she is soon torn between continuing her revenge until the end or stopping it against her teacher's wishes.</p><p face="arial" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p face="arial" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial" class="MsoNormal">Queen of Black Magic not only takes influence from the superstitions of the people of <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but you can also see how the film may have been influenced by Brian DePalma's Carrie. Both films deal with a supernatural revenge being carried out by a scorned/humiliated female character. Like most of the classic horror film villains, the queen in this film is quite sympathetic. In a way, I viewed her the same way I viewed Camille Keaton's character in I Spit on Your Grave or Mari's parents in Last House on the Left. Because of what we've seen, we almost want her to take her revenge and do harm to those who harmed her. Thus, the film doesn't really have a villain that scares us other than the demons of black magic themselves, although they are never actually seen.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial" class="MsoNormal">

A brief sequence of a man in a blue sweater under some sort of bizarre trance gorily pulling his own head from his body was startling, and enticed me want to track down the film however I could. Of course, with such a limited VHS release here in the states, it would be a near impossible feat that I feared I would never accomplish. Enter Mondo Macabro, who has finally released Queen of Black Magic on DVD with all the care and attention that fans have grown to expect from the company (I will go into all this later, of course). The use of cinematography and set design is very impressive. For a film industry with not nearly the same amount of experience as its Western contemporaries, this film looks much better and slickly produced than a lot of <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> or even Italian horror films of the same time period.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">I will say this also, Queen of Black Magic has one of the better and creepier synth scores of the era. It may be simplistic, but it aims to create an atmosphere of foreboding evil and it succeeds. I would compare it at times to a cross between the scores of some of Fulci's films of the early 80s and Goblin's score to Suspiria... with a little Last House on the Left electronica thrown in for good measure. It is really unique and it really impressed me. The film is pretty well-paced. Right from the start, it wastes no time. The opening half hour features the creation of the "queen of black magic" and the last hour is all about her revenge and struggles at redemption. And revenge she gets. The people killed in this film aren't simply killed. They are dispatched of in particularly gruesome and sinister ways. One man is stung to death by a swarm of bees, another falls into a waterlogged rice field, only to resurface with boils and all sorts of nasty slug-like creatures coming out of his face. Another's arms bubble up Scanners style all over and then explode with blood. Just when you think a death can't be more horrible, the next one outdoes it. This pattern continues until the end of the film. I honestly didn't know what could top the head-ripping scene, but the film's ending does. The special effects in the gore scenes are actually pretty impressive for the time period. The presence of gore period is unique, given that a lot of today's Asian horror relies on what is not seen, rather than what is seen. The effects of falling and flying bodies is pretty laughable (very visibly a dummy), but it's the gore you've come to see and gore you get in buckets.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Much of it is often obvious, plain and more exposition like, but in a film like this, you kind of overlook the script and instead pay attention to the palpable tension and dread that comes from the feeling of true evil that permeates every scene. The good aspects of the script is that the plot is genuinely involving. Like the best campfire and bedtime stories, we follow the narrative throughout the film and care about what will happen next and how the story will resolve itself. That's always the sign of a good movie, folks, and this film passes that test with flying colors. It is difficult to tell if the actors are good or not, because the dialogue on the DVD version is completely dubbed. They are very expressive, however, in their actions and facial movements. Suzzanna is especially good as the scorned "queen". Her portrayal ranges from being breathtaking, heartbreaking, and even menacing. I don't make it a point to always mention nudity or the lack thereof in reviews, but I really have to comment on the bizarre, fuzzy blob that dances around the naked body of the lead actress whenever she is on-screen without clothes. It is meant to prevent the audience from seeing the nudity, and it strikes me as strange that in a film where blood and gore flows pretty frequently that the filmmakers would actually go to the trouble to blur out female nudity. Coincidentally, there is one tiny bit of nudity that they either missed or left un-blurred for some reason (a blink-and-you-miss-it shot of a nipple before a moment of breastfeeding). The lack of nudity doesn't take away from the film at all. It just makes you wonder why they did what they did.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

For such a forgotten and obscure film, it looks simply brilliant. A few frames here and there appear washed out, but the transfer is generally solid. The audio track suffices, although there is an occasional pop and hiss or two present. It's never loud enough to detract from the on-screen action. Given the rarity of the film and that we're lucky enough to have it on DVD at all, I think the audio's shortcomings can be considered a relatively minor complaint. "Indonesian Light and Magic" is a brief featurette on Indonesian FX artist El Badrun, who provided the film's grisly effects. Also on the disc is a trailer and a brief text essay about the history and making of the film. Not a bad round of supplements, in all. Queen of Black Magic is such a fun, wild ride that I can't help but call this a definite purchase. The gore is eye-popping and the story is both engaging and tragic, like all the best Shakespearian plays and fairy tales. If you're into seeking out the truly unsung treasures and rarities of the horror genre, look absolutely no further than this film. Thanks to Mondo Macabro, seeking it out is as easy as heading to your favorite DVD locale or ordering it online. It comes highly recommended from me and I think others who view it will agree that in just one viewing, the Queen of Black Magic will soon have you under her deadly spell.

It also doesn't help that the wedding feast turns into a pile of maggots and a storm blows in from nowhere. The bride becomes a complete basket case (she imagines that snakes are everywhere) and the wedding is canceled. This all seems to benefit local peasant girl Murni (Suzzanna; THE SNAKE QUEEN - 1982), who was madly in love with the groom, Kohar, before he callously dumped her and decided the marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman. When the local witch doctor is mysteriously killed by some supernatural magic (his body is repeatedly slammed to the ground by some invisible force), he utters in his final breath, "The evil spirit comes from the west!" Kohar interprets this to mean that Murni is responsible, so he gathers all the townspeople to hunt down Murni (The only thing Murni is really responsible for is losing her virginity to Kohar, who promised to marry her after he popped her cherry). Kohar and the villagers capture Murni, burn down her house (killing her mother in the process) and drag her to the top of a mountain, where they throw her off a cliff ("One...two...three...away!"). Luckily, Murni lands in the arms of a black magician (W.D. Mochtar), who nurses her back to health and teaches her the finer points of the Black Arts. Murni becomes the Queen of Black Magic and uses her newfound powers to avenge her mother's death and make all those responsible pay with their lives, especially the dastardly Kohar. Pretty soon, villagers are being attacked by bees; breaking out in huge boils that explode in huge gushers of blood; swallowed under the ground and devoured by snakes; hung from trees by the neck; and, in one case, Murni steals an infant out of a cradle and breast feeds it, getting a huge sexual thrill from the experience! The appearance of a stranger in town named Permana may be just what the villagers need to battle Murni and her teacher. After Murni kills Kohar, she wants to stop the reign of terror, but her teacher won't let her (it's apparent he has an agenda). Things get weird when Murni and Permana fall in love, not knowing each other's true identities. As Permana gets the villagers to accept religion back into their lives, which lessens the black magician's powers, one villager spots Permana cavorting with Murni in the forest. Mistakenly thinking that Permana is in league with the Devil, the villagers may undo everything good Permana has brought into the village.<span style=""> </span>

<br />This is another wild and delirious fantasy film from Rapi Films, <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s premiere supplier of filmed dementia. This is a sort-of second sequel to the 1975 Hong Kong horror film BLACK MAGIC (1975) and BLACK MAGIC 2 (1976; a.k.a. REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES), but director Liliek Sudjio and screenwriter Imam Tantowi (THE WARRIOR AND NINJA - 1985) give this film it's own unique spin, mixing religion and black magic as a metaphor for good against evil. This film is full of weird visuals, such as when the silhouette of Murni can be seen flying through the air (with the obvious help of a trampoline) against the backdrop of a full moon; Murni using black magic to force Kohar to rip off his own head (!) and then the head flies through the air biting villagers; the black magician's use of a voodoo doll to make the rich businessman's stomach swell-up to gigantic proportions; and the final attack on the village, where an unjustly deceived Murni and Permana face-off and family secrets are revealed. Expect fireballs, flying objects, toe-sucking and other strange sights. There's a lot of blood spilled here and a few shots of semi-nudity as Indonesian films tend to shy away from showing women's nipples. Even in the breast-feeding scene, we see the baby suckling on Murni's breast, but no nipple, yet this film finds clever ways to cover-up the naughty bits, by use of strategically-placed objects, blurred lenses or camera framing, making the viewer believe they are seeing more than they actually are. QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC is another winner from what seems like a never-ending supply of strange films from <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Also starring Teddy Purba, Sofia W.D., Alan Naury, Siska Widowati, Dorman Borisman, Doddy Sukma, Tizar Pyrbaya and I.M.

But there is a trove of wonderfully creepy tales of terror, going back decades, residing in the Asian nation, and luckily for Americans, the DVD label Mondo Macabro has dedicated itself to releasing beautifully restored editions of Indonesian horror and fantasy films from the 1970s and '80s. The label's most recent release, "Queen of Black Magic" (1979), is yet another of that country's bestiaries of the weird.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Six years later, a new law required distributors to produce one Indonesian film for every three foreign films they imported, and Indonesian cinema exploded from 10 local movies in 1969 to 134 in 1977. The budgets were low and the acting made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in finesse, but the filmmakers had access to a head-spinning array of potent material. Indonesian pop and folk culture overflows with legendary heroes, black magic, and grotesque monsters, such as witches who can send their heads flying off into the night with their internal organs dangling beneath like the tentacles of a jellyfish. Indonesian cinema quickly became a delivery device for trippy nightmares.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

But it was Suzzanna who came to rule the screen with her recurring role as the evil Snake Queen. She's the titular Queen in "Queen of Black Magic," falsely accused of witchcraft and tossed off a cliff by her ex-husband on his wedding night. She plummets through the air and lands at the feet of an old hermit, who presents her with a proposition: Why not become the evil witch she's already accused of being? One blood shower later, she's the Queen of Black Magic, sending swarms of bees after the man who killed her, causing her lover to tear off his own head (which subsequently flies around and bites people), and cursing one unlucky villager with enormous boils that explode in a shower of gore.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

But there's a huge gap between intention and execution in Indonesian horror. When you look at the Snake Queen you may see a woman in heavy eyeliner wearing a polyester robe and a wig made of rubber snakes. But Indonesians see the legendary daughter of the Queen of the <st1:place st="on">South Seas</st1:place> who traffics in human souls and rewards seekers with great wealth. The purveyors of <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s performing arts don't value naturalism the way Western artists do, preferring instead to give their audiences stylized representations of the essence of gods and monsters. For Indonesian viewers, this cultural bias toward theatricality allows them to more easily bridge the gap between the bargain-basement special effects on-screen and the burning, larger-than-life figures in their imaginations.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Throughout Indonesian cinema, women often play the monsters, and Indonesian horror movies constantly re-enact a morality play wherein wronged women seek revenge and unleash chaos before the patriarchy steps in and restores the natural order. The trend reached its climax in "Lady Terminator" (1988), in which a young female archaeologist is possessed by the wicked Queen of the South Seas — represented by an eel that swims, uninvited, up her birth canal, transforming her into an indestructible killing machine — and stomps through Jakarta, machine-gunning every last pig of a man. This slab of '80s cheese was so popular that the government deemed it a threat, shut the film down after nine days, and rewrote the nation's censorship laws.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Kohar decides that this is the work of black magic and his ex, Murni, must be the culprit. He gathers a mob to hunt her down and kill her for practicing the dark art and for bringing demons to the village. They find her and throw her off of a cliff but unknown to them she is caught (in mid-air) by a witch doctor who is actually the one cursing the town.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The witch doctor nurses her back to health and manipulates her into taking revenge on those that have wronged her. It doesn’t take much convincing before she starts her training in black magic and begins killing her attackers in fantastically original ways. Once she has killed them all, she wants to stop but witchy-poo wants her to keep going and tricks her into it by making her see her new love (a mysterious holy man who is helping the village fight the demonic black magic and doesn’t know who she is) with another woman.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Murni’s murderous rampages cuts a swath through the village idiots who followed Kohar’s lead with attacks of killer bees, mud snakes, acidic eggs, busticating boils and voodoo doll delights. There is lots of great, well done gore and surprises to keep you completely enthralled. One thing I found odd about the content was one scene with Murni taking a bath and her naked body is blurred… why? They show the better part of her nipple earlier in a too creepy breastfeeding scene. What people decide to edit is perplexing to me sometimes.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">In recent years, the Mondo Macabro DVD label has provided Western viewers with easy access to the colorful world of Indonesian exploitation cinema. Highlights have included the delirious Virgins from Hell (which splits the difference between Russ Meyer’s early work and a Cannon action movie) and Mystics in Bali, one of the most notorious films in the East Asian “black magic” genre. Mondo Macabro has now added another “black magic” film, Queen of Black Magic, to its collection. Just like Mystics in Bali and many other “black magic” films, Queen of Black Magic tells the story of an innocent who falls under the influence of an evil sorcerer and is exposed to the weird world of magical rituals, floating heads, blood, snakes, maggots, and other gross stuff. However, QoBM is a much more polished piece of filmmaking than Mystics in Bali. While Mystics in Bali is basically a series of bizarre special effects sequences connected by only the loosest of narratives, Queen of Black Magic is a flat-out melodrama. Fans of Mystics in Bali should have no fear, however, as QoBM definitely delivers the goods, particularly in the final third of the film, which features all of the exploding people, flying body parts and sorcery duels that fans of the “black magic” genre have come to know and love.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Our damsel in distress is named Murney, and as the film opens, she is distraught over the impending marriage of her former paramour Kohar to Beta, the daughter of the village’s chief. Unfortunately for all, the Korhar-Beta wedding is interrupted by a series of plagues, which include hallucinations by the bride and an outbreak of maggots. In response, Kohar falsely accuses Murney of being a practitioner of black magic, and organizes a mob to throw her over a cliff!</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Murney is rescued at the bottom of a cliff by an elderly sorcerer, whom Murney somehow does not realize is the person responsible for the plagues that marred Kohar’s wedding. The sorcerer convinces Murney to train in the black arts and exact a gruesome revenge on the men who ruined her life. Unsurprisingly, Murney agrees, and the viewer is treated to the expected gross deaths and the occasional flying appendage. However, the plot thickens when a devout stranger arrives at the village and convinces the populace that the best protection from black magic is a devout life of prayer. Murney falls in love with the devout man, and decides to leave her life of black magic behind. However, as might be expected, the sorcerer has other plans …</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The legendary Indonesian actress Suzanna, who plays Murney, is the film’s indisputable center of gravity. Although this film was my first exposure to Suzanna, I can see why she was a big star. Her performance, which alternates between overwrought heartbreak and bitchy rage, has a Joan Crawford-like quality to it. Indeed, Suzanna’s similarity to Joan Crawford is only emphasized by her tendency to wear layers upon layers of makeup in every scene. I don’t know if there are any drag queens in Indonesia, but if there are, I am sure that they perform Suzanna routines.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

The dramatic Indonesian locations are presented very effectively and attractively. Moreover, the film makes very good use of the 2.35:1 aspect ratio; most frames feature well-balanced compositions that stretch across the screen. One striking sequence, in which Suzanna (or, more likely, her stunt double) carries out her black magic training by performing backflips against a dark blue night sky and a large yellow moon, is particularly memorable.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The special effects sequences differ from those in Mystics in Bali — although they are somewhat less audacious (no woman-to-pig transformations here), they are also more gruesome and realistic. The effects personnel were clearly proud of their ability to simulate boiling and exploding skin, and accordingly several characters are disposed of in that gruesome fashion. Another particularly memorable and disconcerting special-effects sequence involves a man whose stomach is swollen to grotesque proportions by Murney’s black magic. In addition to these special effects, the filmmakers also were able to make the most of their presumably meager resources by creating an effective atmosphere through the use of dry ice and colored lights in the tradition of Mario Bava.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The lackluster English dub definitely detracts a bit from the proceedings, however. While the goofy English dubbing in Mystics in Bali helps add to that film’s overall sense of fun and craziness, Queen of Black Magic is a slightly more serious effort that would benefit from an Indonesian language track. However, I have yet to see any Indonesian exploitation film presented in a language other than English. In any event, this is a minor quibble, as the visuals are definitely what’s most important here.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">

Are you seeing snakes, skeletons, maggots in the bean sprouts? Have you been fasting for five days, and yet it still goes on raining?</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Don’t look now, friend, but you’ve been bewitched!</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The wedding between bastard playboy Kohar and the daughter of the Village Chief has been called on account of devil’s rain. And after the local witch doctor determines that the evil spirit comes from the west, he is promptly raised in the air by unseen hands and repeatedly slammed into the ground until dead. Things are getting serious, and folks are demanding answers. Kohar remembers a girl, Murni, who was once in love with him and who happens to live just west of the village. That’s it! She’s jealous that he is getting married to someone else, so she’s using black magic to plague his betrothed and ruin his special day! No second opinion or proofs of purchase required, it’s gotta be her, and she must be destroyed.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Kohar leads an unruly gang of men to Murni’s home where he slaps the shit out of her mom, and sets their shanty on fire with mom inside. Then the gang takes a kicking and screaming Murni and throw her off a fucking cliff.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">That’ll learn ‘er.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">After bouncing a couple of times, Murni’s fall is broken by an old man who catches her and takes her back to his place where he nurses her back to health. Murni recounts her horrible ordeal, but insists she isn’t responsible for cursing anyone. Even though Kohar said he loved her, robbed her of her virginity in a rice field, with roaming bison as an audience, telling her “It was bound to happen sooner or later, so what difference does it make where it happens? One place is as good as another when you’re in the right mood.” Even though he dropped her like a hot chakra to marry some brat with money, she’s innocent. Why, she doesn’t even know black magic. The old sorcerer convinces Murni that she’s been wronged to the point of being justifiably revenged, and if she won’t do it for herself, then she should do it out of gratitude for him for saving her life. Murni’s training in the black arts commences, which includes nude mid-air flips off a trampoline in the moonlight, having hot blood poured on her head, and getting her bangs trimmed.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://thejakartapost.com/news/2008/11/02/didin-syamsudin-the-queen039s-makeup-artist.html">The <st1:city st="on">Jakarta</st1:city> Post</a> , <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Jakarta</st1:place></st1:city> | Sun, 11/02/2008 10:33 AM</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">If Didin Syamsudin's professional life could be summed up in one line, it would probably be "making horror faces since 1980", and even that would be an understatement.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Born in Cirebon, West Java, 55 years ago as an only child, Didin excelled in all the art and drawing classes he took. He is now known to possess a cinematic Midas touch, turning every film he lays hands on into a box-office hit.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Maybe it's his charm and charisma, maybe it's his patience, maybe it's the genie he claims to have had by his side since early childhood, maybe it's his good looks, or maybe it's just his luck.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Whatever it is, Didin certainly charmed Indonesia's Queen of Horror, Suzanna, who passed away on Oct. 16: Didin was the only person to have had the chance to work intensively with her face for an entire decade.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Sparing some time between his two careers -- one as a father of six and the other as a makeup artist -- Didin spoke to The Jakarta Post about his life and working with the Queen of Horror.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"I first worked with her on the set of Sundel Bolong, a very awkward time," said Didin about Mbak Usi, the affectionate nickname he uses for Suzanna Martha Frederika van Osch, who in return called him Diding.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Didin said that during the production of Sundel Bolong (1981), in which Suzanna played a legendary female ghost characterized by a hole in her back, the actress could be very demanding.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"Mbak Usi would get upset over any dirt stains on her costume. The scenes were being shot in graveyards," he said.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">There were days, he said, when he had to wash the white costume in the mornings, right after the production team called it a wrap, so it would be ready before shooting began again in the afternoon.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">A beginning makeup artist at that time, yet to master the knack of characters and effects, Didin chose to humor Suzanna, keeping this to himself and making sure the actress felt comfortable as her ghost self.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"It was from that moment on maybe that she, in a more commercial term, 'fell in love' with me. She spoke to the producer, saying that she wanted me to do her makeup on the next project too," he said.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The dynamic duo -- Didin and Mbak Usi -- teamed up again in Ratu Ilmu Hitam (The Queen of Black Magic), another Rapi Film production, in 1981.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">It was on the set of their second film, Didin said, that the awkwardness was replaced by a feeling of comfort.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"We grew close and working with her felt just right," he added.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Their cooperation was fruitful, and the film was considered a success.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Suzanna was nominated as best actress for her role as a desperate woman seeking vengeance through black magic in Ratu Ilmu Hitam at the 1982 Indonesian Film Festival.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"Maybe I'm a bit weird," Didin said about the way he works. "When an artist trusts me 100 percent, I will work it all out. But if they don't, then I won't bother.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"When I do my work, I do it as if I was doing my mandatory praying. I start with a prayer and I do everything seriously. I always refrain myself from swearing or uttering negative remarks."</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Didin began his career as a makeup artist in 1976, after he was persuaded by a friend to help out on Perkawinan Dalam Semusim (Marriage in a Season), directed by the late Teguh Karya.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">After he crossed paths with Suzanna in 1980, he continued doing the makeup on almost all her horror films, including Nyi Blorong (1982), Telaga Angker (The Haunted Pond; 1984), Ratu Sakti Calon Arang (Calong Arang the Powerful Queen; 1985), Ratu Buaya Putih (The White Crocodile Queen; 1988) and Titisan Dewi Ular (Reincarnation of the Queen of Snakes; 1990).</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">He designed Suzanna's costumes and, most importantly, designed the arrangements of the jasmine -- the flower that appeared in most of her films.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"Mbak Usi really followed the laws of being a horror actress," Didin said. Before a shoot, he explained, Suzanna would conduct puasa mutih, a fast in which a person drinks only water and eats only white rice.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"She also regularly visited Nyi Ratu's room in Samudra Beach Hotel. Believe it or not as you please, but I think these things exist," he said.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Shortly after her burial, Suzanna's husband, Cliff Sangra -- her junior by 20 years -- denied rumors his wife had frequented the hotel room to worship supernatural or mystic powers.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The hotel room in question is room 308 of the Ina Samudra Hotel in Pelabuhan Ratu, West Java, which is dedicated as a show of respect to Nyi Roro Kidul, the queen of the southern <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">sea</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">Java</st1:placename></st1:place>. Legend has it that the queen also has a daughter named Nyi Blorong.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"These mystic occurrences, I believe they do exist. How can I not? I have had my share of unexplained incidents too," said Didin.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Didin claims that as a child -- and this was later confirmed by gifted people he met along the way -- he was often spared from being involved in potentially dangerous situations by an external force he could not control.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"Later on, people who could see spirits said there was a genie accompanying me," Didin said.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">But it isn't just spirits and ghosts: Didin is also popular among the living. His specialization in the art of makeup for characters and special effects has resulted in his involvement in a variety of successful productions, including TV soaps, films and even public service announcements.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Some of his recent work can be seen in Riri Riza's Gie (2005), a film about an activist named Soe Hoek Gie, Nia Dinata's Berbagi Suami (Love for Share; 2006) and Hanung Bramantyo's Ayat-ayat Cinta (2008).</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"I have taught 15 students how to do makeup for films. One of them is now a lecturer in Yogyakarta, while the others have begun their own careers," Didin said.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">But the problem with today's makeup artists, he said, lies in planning and sensitivity.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">"Nowadays, I see women going to sleep in their houses in soaps on TV and can't help but wonder what is up with their gaudy make up."</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">He believes the purpose of the makeup department in a production is not to provoke negative comments about a "good artist with lousy makeup".</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">After devoting 22 years of his life touching up makeup and preparing costumes and effects for Indonesian films, Didin said the secret to great makeup was simple.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">The success of TV's CHARLIE'S ANGELS (1976 - 1981) spawned many imitators, including this Indonesian action flick. A scientist named Hardy invents a new type of explosive ("With this type of formula, people can blow up mountains without any danger!" What? How is that fucking possible?), but he worries about it falling into the wrong hands ("If crooks get a hold of it, imagine the bloody big bang it would cause!" What a minute, I thought it was safe!). Immediately after making those statements, Hardy and his girlfriend Yanti (Yati Octavia) are kidnapped, blindfolded and taken to the home of the big boss, Mr. Brutho, who tells Hardy that he either hands over the formula or he will kill Yanti. Fortunately, Yanti (who is an expert marksman) escapes and is saved on the side of a road by Anita (Debby Cynthia Dewi; <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">MYSTICS IN BALI</span> - 1981), a chick in a black leather outfit (complete with black cowboy hat) who beats the crap out of one of Mr. Brutho's goons in super slow-motion, destroying his car in the process. Anita agrees to help Yanti in her quest to rescue her boyfriend (It seems Anita is tired of being mistreated by the "greasers" in town), but first they have to save Yanti's mother and young sister from the clutches of some kidnappers, leading to a comedic car chase that ends with the kidnappers dying in a fiery crash (Not so funny now, is it?). Yanti and Anita stop at a disco for some drinks (Killing bad guys makes you thirsty. It's a known fact. Look it up.), where they watch Dana (Dana Christina; <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">THE STABILIZER</span> - 1984) sing a disco tune in Indonesian and she agrees to help in Yanti's plight (Dana is an expert knife thrower as well as a singer). The trio turns into a quartet when crossbow expert <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Lydia</st1:place></st1:country-region> (Lydia Kandou) joins the team and then turns into a quintet when kung-fu expert Lulu, The Lightning Lady (Eva Arnaz; <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">THE WARRIOR</span> - 1981) takes up arms to join the fight. Lulu beats the snot out of a male motorcycle gang in a restaurant (complete with transvestite waitress!), where in one hilarious scene, a restaurant patron swallows a raw egg and coughs-up a live baby chick! When two of Brutho's goons kidnap Anita, the other four girls rescue her and tie-up the two goons, leaving each one of them a "gift": a live crab shoved down their pants! When Mr. Brutho is finally successful in kidnapping Yanti's mother and baby sister, Yanti and the four superhero chicks perform a daring raid on Brutho's compounds, resulting in death, destruction (including one hellacious explosion) and a helicopter rescue, where each of the women use their individual talents to good effect. Hooray for female power!<span style=""> </span>This is a hilariously bad action flick, complete with awful dubbing (where everyone speaks with an Australian accent), badly-staged action scenes (which are either cranked-up in the camera way too fast or way too slow, giving some sequences, such as the car chases, a Keystone Kops feel, and other sequences, such as the women running or fighting in super slow-motion, a SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN look, complete with the patented Steve Austin sound effects!) and comedy mixed with sudden tragedy. That's what makes these Indonesian action films so wonderful to watch. No matter how hard you try, you can't possibly anticipate what's to come next. Director/screenwriter Danu Umbara (<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">JUNGLE VIRGIN FORCE</span> - 1982) consistantly surprises the viewer here, such as when Lydia's obese female assistant Fatsy pisses in her pants when Lydia shoots an apple off her head with a crossbow or the head-scratching sequence where Dana breaks out into song to cheer-up Yanti and we're then treated to a pre-MTV music video montage of Dana singing on a beach while wearing a variety of bikinis. Particularly funny is the dastardly Mr. Brutho, who precedes all his dialogue by saying "I'm a good man!" and then doing simply awful things, like shooting his own men for fucking-up, siccing his dogs on his girlfriend for trying to help Hardy escape or hanging Yanti's young sister over a pit of poisonous snakes to force Hardy to turn over the formula. The film is also full of oddball characters (one of Brutho's best goons has a scar on the side of his face that looks like a giant leech), explosions and a smattering of gore, so why not sit back, put your brain in neutral and just get lost in the craziness that is known as <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">FIVE DEADLY ANGELS</span>? It's worth the dead brain cells. Danu Umbara directed a sequel the following year, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">CEWEK JAGOAN BERASKI KEMBALI </span>(which roughly translated means "The Deadly Angels Strike Back"), starring Dewi, Christina and Arnaz, but it doesn't seem to have received an English-friendly home video release. Also starring Rakhmat Hidayat, Cok Simbara, Dorman Borisman, Agust Melasz, Ade Irawan, Suzy Bolle, Malino Djunaedy, Ramli Ivar, Evie Susanto and Eddy Yonathan. Never legitimately available on <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> home video, the print I viewed was sourced from a Dutch-subtitled VHS tape. Those fucking Dutch were very lucky bastards.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

Suzzanna, as the quite evil Delilah, has one outfit for each scene in Samson dan Delilah, want with that ridiculous wig she looks like a slimmer version of Miss Piggy! Yes, Samson dan Delilah is a very weird Indonesian take on the biblical story of Samson with his curly hair and super strenght. Here played by the talentless Paul Hay, a man who gets his bodybuilding-resume in the pre-credits! He looks like the retarded offspring of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eddie Izzard.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Anyway, it’s more or less the same story that we learned and loved since kindergarten. Except this time Samson chops an evil Cyclops in two pieces, makes Suzzanna imitate fellatio on a banana and then licks her thighs clean from syrup! One of the baddies is a man with an upside-down moustache and we also are treated to some eye-tits.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

The fights are absurd and colourful (everything in this movie is colourful) and the gore is over-the-top and with a lot of spraying blood. Of course we’re getting some fun magic, including a self-repairing magician! The comedy goes from stupid to just childish, but it’s impossible to dislike this movie. Everyone seem to have a lot of fun, especially Suzzanna who really is wild here, and even Paul Hay is fun to look at, even if he can’t fight and is very, very stiff during the rest of the action scenes. But I’ve seen worse.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Still, this is – what I know – the best version out right now and believe me, it’s easy to understand this even if they don’t talk English or the lack of subtitles in the same language. It’s also very cheap!</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">

Breathtakingly surreal, hyper-sleazy and violent in equal doses, and crammed with one over-the-top action setpiece after another, the film is about as loopy as Asian exploitation gets.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">London-born Barbara grew up a professional dancer in <st1:country-region st="on">Australia</st1:country-region> whose leg injury took her to <st1:place st="on">Hong Kong</st1:place> and into the world of modeling and fashion reporting. After a chance audition for an Indonesian film company, Barbara was offered the lead role in a local Terminator ripoff: no acting experience necessary, but physical endurance was a plus. The film’s cartoon-like Indian producer Ram Soraya “met me at the airport and held up a big wad of cash in US dollars to the customs officials when I arrived. So that set the scene.”</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Without warning, Barbara was plunged into the Wild West chaos of Indonesian B-filmmaking. “Everybody were smoking joints on the set, people were off their nuts! I don’t know how they got anything done.” Barbara was expected to perform her own stunts, and as a dancer that didn’t pose a problem. Even so, her pain threshold was pushed to its limits. “I had so many near misses, like half car bodies flying and missing me by two centimetres! I nearly got killed so many times during that film…” After three grueling months of clinging onto car bonnets and being burnt by bullet squibs (“serious, second-degree burns!”), the final shot was Barbara kicking through a glass door. “The glass should have shattered into small pieces. It was a real pane of effing glass!”</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Her ankle was skewered by a long shard of glass, just scraping past her Achilles tendon. Production was shut down for a month – with Barbara on full wages – while a military hospital stitched her up and she regained the ability to walk. “Then I shot that last scene, the candy glass broke the way it was supposed to, and we wrapped.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">“Ram Soraya called me a couple of years later and said, ‘We want you to do a comedy.’ I said no. ‘I’ll pay you double?’ ‘No, I’m not coming back. I’ll never get out otherwise!’”</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Barbara accepted her role –and her fate – as Lady Terminator, on the understanding that the film would never be screened outside <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Two years later, Ram Soraya sent Barbara a Betamax copy – and a press clipping the New York Times. “I was like, ‘You’re fucking kidding me?’ I was mortified.” Even more disturbing was the ‘possession scene’, in which a brutally primitive CGI snake slithers its way into her – ahem – bikini bottoms.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"> “They wanted me to fall onto a bed. I was tied up, and they wanted me to look like I was possessed. That was the scene.

Well it does, and next to the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Philippines</st1:place></st1:country-region>, was one of the largest exporters of genre films. Rapi Films, still <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s largest film company, was founded in 1968 as an importer of American and European movies. In 1971 they branched into feature films and by the late 70s were successfully dubbing into English their more salacious fare – outrageous gore-soaked horrors, sexploitation and action films – and selling them all over the world. Rapi Films’ own bona fide superstar Barry Prima would feature in most of their exports, such as this 1978 feature <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Primitives</span>… but more on that later.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWj3DdGciSs-kbWRR1tJdSn3mmkyTqwzwyk9mfoUF3Oi5zE9XvN16y1y5zWHIdTnDFSEVY4ikpNTv5-4YPSRrwn3qM1ktGHwDWbeWvz7NHUX06JQvMIkX1DvvZ4U6Vx8RhS9k-8WN4FRE/s1600-h/Primitives.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWj3DdGciSs-kbWRR1tJdSn3mmkyTqwzwyk9mfoUF3Oi5zE9XvN16y1y5zWHIdTnDFSEVY4ikpNTv5-4YPSRrwn3qM1ktGHwDWbeWvz7NHUX06JQvMIkX1DvvZ4U6Vx8RhS9k-8WN4FRE/s200/Primitives.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335923402562106882" border="0" /></a>Meanwhile the Italians were running around South East Asia creating their own <st1:place st="on">Third World</st1:place> atrocities. The cannibal film, one of the most despicable of horror’s sub-genres, was in full swing, having emerged from the Italians’ own Mondo or Shockumentary genre, in which primitive rituals and nature’s inherent barbarism were packaged with snide narration and pompously ironic soundtracks for modern middle class audiences to be titillated by in the smug comfort of their multiplex. From the Mondo Cane films came <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Man From Deep River</span> in 1972, a blatant reworking of <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">A Man Called Horse</span>, in which a white man becomes accepted into a cannibal tribe and experiences their savagery first hand. Italian director Ruggero Deodato subsequently delivered a pair of similarly-themed films which would define and dominate the relatively short-lived Cannibal Genre: <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The Last Cannibal World</span> in 1976, and <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Cannibal Holocaust</span> in 1979.

Four anthropology students bribe a guide against his better judgement to take them deep into cannibal territory to peer at the Pangayan tribe close up. Their boat crashes and they’re savaged by wild animals, only to find their hosts aren’t as welcoming as they’d hoped. And while sitting in bamboo cages waiting to be the tribal feast, altruistic thoughts of trying to civilize them turn a little sour…</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><br /><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj51uiJuZRrjqMMaqsUz_1VKpUhppFgwCgVUuuHSYr0J2D2tTw8Xm3sB6EohfpRzqMTaA08x2SPzVYodNrpYU6iVj5fdtnjYlSzfFlw5IXxq9I5SC77ecumo9UBv7cTMExhUoXyZKmwZsU/s1600-h/Primitives+UK+VHS.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 129px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj51uiJuZRrjqMMaqsUz_1VKpUhppFgwCgVUuuHSYr0J2D2tTw8Xm3sB6EohfpRzqMTaA08x2SPzVYodNrpYU6iVj5fdtnjYlSzfFlw5IXxq9I5SC77ecumo9UBv7cTMExhUoXyZKmwZsU/s200/Primitives+UK+VHS.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335927474778379522" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Deodato’s plot is plundered mercilessly right down to identical scenes and you could almost swear certain shots.

Yes, the natives are revolting – and it’s this kind of cultural revolution that makes for some very jarring viewing, and not just because of the completely out of place Jarre-like soundscapes and robotic disco.

Here he plays young buck Hendra heading for his classmate Dayat's village, meets a pretty girl along the way just happens to be Dayat's sister Julia (action star and Prima's ex-wife Eva Arnaz), and attempts to woo her from his motorbike. Smooth. Unbeknownst to both of them, Dayat's uncle and mayor of the village has been usurped by a black magician who has his evil eye on the mayor's chair, using a secret weapon, a vial of little red pills – those “special silencers” hinted at in the title – to take over the village. Once ingested by the hapless victim, fully grown trees shoot out of their stomach. I repeat: TREES, complete with branches and complex root systems, BURST from their victims' stomach. Hendra uses his considerable martial arts skills to help Dayat and Julia defeat the arch-villain, his army of thugs, and his “black commandos” - a squadron of hungry rats (alright, they're mice coloured with textas).</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">
