Holy People from Tangkuban Perahu

About This Movie

Holy People from Tangkuban Perahu is a wild ride through the martial arts scene of the late '80s. There's a lot happening with its revenge plot, where Kaligundil, feeling wronged by Wiro Sableng, resorts to some seriously shady tactics involving a student from the White Lotus School. The atmosphere is gritty, and the pacing bounces between intense action scenes and quieter moments that build tension. The performances, especially from Tonny Hidayat and Gino Makasutji, have this raw energy that pulls you into their rivalry. It’s all about the practical effects, too—some of the fight choreography feels quite grounded for its time, making the stakes feel real. A real curiosity piece that reflects the martial arts fervor of its era.
