Okay, here's one for the action film cultist in you, courtesy of the fine folks at Mondo Macabro. For those unfamiliar Mondo are not only experts in strange and bizarre film from around the world but they love these things so much that they give them the Criterion treatment, giving their releases beautifully restored editions that treat the ultimate in B-schlock like the highest end arthouse films and the end results are always impressive. And up next from Mondo is the first ever DVD release of 1981 Indonesian action film The Warrior, starring Barry Prima.

This outrageously entertaining fantasy flick stars 1980s action hero Barry Prima. He plays Jaka Sembung, a kind of Robin Hood figure who possesses mystical powers. As a figurehead for his country's rebellion against oppressive invaders, Sembung is captured, tortured, and left for dead. But he returns, even more powerful than before. In desperation, the invaders resurrect an evil wizard and set him against Sembung in a fierce fight to the death.

Not only is this the first ever DVD release of this film anywhere in the world but with a brand new transfer struck straight from the negative it probably looks even better than it dead when originally projected in Indonesian theaters and what you get is a ludicrously over the top, bloody action fest.
