“The Tiger” Teaser Poster
A new film from the country that brought us Merantau and The Raid franchise is being unleashed in the form of The Tiger, a martial arts thriller from up and coming filmmaker, Ardiansah Sulistiana and veteran writer Aris Nugraha (Preman Pensiun).
The Tiger stars Epy Kusandar (The Night Comes for Us), Cecep Arif Rahman (The Raid 2), Faris Fadjar Munggaran (Gundala), Donna Wardana (Sampai Titik Terakhirmu), Reza Hilman (Bonnie) and Fiolina Teja (Dia Bukan Manusia).
In a West Javanese village, Raka, a chili trader, accidentally sparks a conflict with the hot-tempered Dirga. Cornered in a fight, Raka unleashes an extraordinary silat style, resembling a tiger, a secret family tradition known as Pamacan. The viral video of his power attracts Koswara, a feared warrior determined to claim the legacy. With his men, Koswara terrorizes Raka’s family, forcing him to protect their honor and heritage. Guided by his wise father Abah, Raka learns to master his strength while facing relentless threats. The Tiger is a tale of honor, tradition, and the fight to safeguard cultural legacy.
According to FCS, the ANP-produced film is currently set to screen before audiences early next month for the Indonesian Screen Awards section of the 20th Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival.
We’re pretty sure a U.S. company will snag this one at some point. Until then, don’t miss the Trailer below:
(By the way, remember that Bruceploitation movie, The Return of the Red Tiger? Tell me it doesn’t come to mind when you see the Trailer for this one…)

I really really really, want to see this get a USA Release. Maybe even Well Go USA could pick it up
I’m sure a company like Well Go USA is on top of it. =) I already have their new retitle: THE RAID OF THE TIGER!
More than likely playing off of The Raid
