The fight choreograph was designed by Dato Edwel Yusri, the grandmaster of Pencak Silat Harimau (Tiger Silat) of West Sumatera, the style they use in the story. He played as Yuda's teacher in the movie. However the true style of PSH is too brutal for the screen and Iko's character here is just a good hearted boy not a killing machine, so they tweak by adding some freestyles into the choreograph. Iko and Yayan also help with the choreograph. Iko use his own style of Tiga Berantai Silat in most of the fight scene.

Merantau is something that many guy from the specific Indonesian sub-culture that the character representing there, are doing. Basically, in the Indonesian sub-culture of Minangkabau, it’s traditionally expected for boys to do journey to get their own success story and riches. The reason is mainly because Minangkabau is a largely matrilineal society where family names and inheritances are inherited by daughters. So, Minang boys of baby boomer and above generations are famous for doing merantau. Merantau are probably not that popular anymore with millenial and newer generations, because the matrilineal is no longer that big, not to mention more and more families started to changed into patrilineal from western and arabic cultural influences, on top of influences from other Indonesian sub-cultures that are already patrilineal to begin with, considering that cultural mixing through mariages does happens. Btw, i’m a half-Minang of milenial generation myself, but not from one of the matrilineal families.
The main fight choreographer for this movie is Datuak Rajo Gampo Alam, the grand master of West Sumatra Harimau Silat, so the movement has many grappling like locks.
At 8:27 the girl whispered "Tolong" ,Indonesian word means "help" . And the fight wasnt over yet . The last bad guy recover and Iko character had to put him out for good..
Earlier in the movie, Yuda did say that he was the better fighter while his older brother was the smarter one. When Yuda fought the last two guys, he couldn't outmatch them with his fighting skills so he outsmarted them by figuring out how they fight and was able to land more hits in the second round than the first round. Took his older brother's advice in that last fight
**Arm breaks in a movie** Ah, the sound of learning. PS - One thing I absolutely love is how he repeatedly ALMOST gets to dislocate a joint, but one of the other guys interrupts it. Interrupted actions are so compelling in choreo and really escalate the stakes.
Fyi Merantau is the Iko’s first movie. The story is basically about the journey of pencak silat expert from little town. So hope you notice that Iko create the merantau fight coreography with mostly pencak silat signature move even in traditionally authentic ways. It is different with other Iko’s movie like The Raid. Pencak silat in The Raid is just personally iko’s background, and then the coreography shows the common fighting move. So i suggest you to watch entire Merantau movie.
The guy in the white shirt (Laurent Buson) is a member of a martial arts team called Z Team. One of their better fight scenes is a 2004 short film called "Duel". I think the delayed axe kick is one of his signature moves since he uses it in several of the films he's been in.
Evans made this film to fund The Raid 2. It didn't get enough, so he made The Raid, and slightly altered his script for his dream film to be a sequel to the hit success The Raid to ensure it gets greenlit this time.
Eric's (yayan) "audition" scene is awesome but but short. the Scaffold fight is a lot of fun, but the elevator fight is amazing not just for the fight, but also how wonderfully it shows the characters of Eric and Yuda
I enjoyed the earlier scene when he's running away from the gang and he has his makeshift satchel of doom 😊 There's a short fight in an overpass bridge that's prob too short for a reaction but when I saw that I could see where the Raid was born!!
I did them but my audio didn't come out haha! I will redo them because I do remember them being amazing but can't remember all the details of them now!
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 also the 2 prison fight scenes in The Raid 2. The one in the bathroom with Iwo in his cell later and the prison yard. So violent, so brilliant
Hi, when you mention fights, you can't avoid Chinese movies, maybe you can make a reaction to "wuxia" move, it's some fights are really cool, like in crouching tiger hidden dragon 1, the fight scene of "limubai" and the girl in the temple is really good. although some say that is just fantasy, not real fight but the artistic value is indisputable.
I remember watching Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and thinking how beautiful they were Fearless is probably my favorite martial arts movie of all time, used to watch it on repeat back in the day
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 i would have liked to see your Reaction. IT WAS NOT THE END. There's not much more fighting but you should watch it until the End...its worth it. Was pretty emotional for me as i watched the Movie for the first Time. I love the Ending of this Film
Don’t know if you’ll see this or even care. I came across your channel the other day and for the most part do enjoy your vids. But there’s one thing that prevents me from subbing because I can’t continue watching like this. You’ve either forgotten or neglected the fact that most people watch these vids on tablets or phones, in sunlight etc. And 80% of the screen is taken up by you and needless background. While the video we’re supposed to follow along with is much smaller and tucked away in the corner. Needs to be other way around, it’s very hard to actually see the vid and follow along with what your saying. If not for that I’d definitely sub, just my two cents. Take it for what you will.
Hey mate, go ahead and check out my more recent videos, I have changed it up and do do it the other way now! Call it growing pains I guess while I worked out some of the kinks at the start c: Hopefully that helps!
As far as fighting multiple opponents goes my recommendation is always to never do it, no matter what style you do. However, if you had no choice, any striking style would be your best bet, I think, as the second you try to grapple with one guy you would get overrun by his buddies
@@MrBrandonStar Oh against the two guys at the end? I was thinking against all the henchmen! Yeah grappling is definitely an effective form against one opponent, especially if they do not know how to grapple themselves
you should react to Jackie Chans ( ua-cam.com/video/L0FWMk79ELo/v-deo.html ) one of many amazing Jackie Chans fight scenes. He choregraphed this scene and hes a perfectionist and the tall guy couldn't land his mark when shooting the scene after multiple takes. So Jackie got one of his students to do it ( the Australian guy from the Jackie Chans "gorgeous" movie )
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 yes, I'm ashamed I couldn't remember his name ( if only there was a website where I can type questions into and it gives me a answer, lol ) amazing speed with his kicks, he has done a bunch of amazing stunt scenes with Jackie and had a few featured ones that were amazing to watch

That fking held axe kick was like a fighting game delayed/meaty attack IRL - WOW Amazing, epic vid on the breakdowns !!!
Right!? I'm definitely going to be trying that next time I get to spar with the class haha
This is Rama before The Raid: Redemption! People may not accept that but it's okay. 😁👌☕
Ironically his undercover name in The Raid 2 was Yuda.
Yah man ! Merantau was far more realistic, no wonder it won so many awards and made him so popular
@@nilesknives6484 the raid 2 was written before merantau

That happens so much trying to find scenes on UA-cam unfortunately :( I'm going to watch the whole movie soon so I'll get the full effect
This is similar to the word in Austronesian language like Tagalog
"Tulong" means help, i love Indonesian words too :)) I'm from 🇵🇭

Fight ...hight level
Woooowe
Bravo iko
The reason I would say Merantau falls short is just how mean the story is.
Agreed... So dark
A good action movie, but it does suffer a bit from the fact that nobody else in it is really on Iko’s level.
Fyi
Merantau is the Iko’s first movie. The story is basically about the journey of pencak silat expert from little town. So hope you notice that Iko create the merantau fight coreography with mostly pencak silat signature move even in traditionally authentic ways.

React to merantau elevator fight scene between iko uwais vs yayan ruhian
Pretty sad... They just know each other in the bus

There a pretty decent single take fight scene in the movie. First fight they shot for the movie so right in at the deep end.
I highly recommend the Sky series "Gangs of London", Evans co-directed it and yes, it has his signature action flare.
It has any connection with the game for PSP?
@@notmus Depends. How old is that game?
This movie: Iko vs Yayan in an elevator.
"Man of Tai Chi" is also an excellent film, with many familiar faces!!
Also, you need to see the "Sofa shuffle scene" from Merantau
Do you have a link to any of those scenes? I couldn't find the sofa shuffle one!
Nicee video brou 💪
for me the elevator sight is the best one ..
Evans made this film to fund The Raid 2. It didn't get enough, so he made The Raid, and slightly altered his script for his dream film to be a sequel to the hit success The Raid to ensure it gets greenlit this time.

There's a short fight in an overpass bridge that's prob too short for a reaction but when I saw that I could see where the Raid was born!!
Great reaction! Thank you. Have you checked out the prison yard fight from the raid 2? It's kind of nuts.
That's an understatement!!
This movie is extremely underrated, Iko performs amazing.
The 2 hallway scenes in The Raid are absolutely amazing. Both can be found on UA-cam
I did them but my audio didn't come out haha! I will redo them because I do remember them being amazing but can't remember all the details of them now!
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 also the 2 prison fight scenes in The Raid 2. The one in the bathroom with Iwo in his cell later and the prison yard. So violent, so brilliant
Need to take a look at some Scott Adkins movies. The Boyka's are great but the pub fight in Avengement is just a good brutal bar fight.
Iko has a lot of Tony Jaa in him.
This Is Film Action Minangkabau Culture of Art from West Sumatra in Indonesia ...
This Is film before The Raid From Iko Uwais From Merantau Film ...
Goes to 1k subscriber💪💪💪
Love to see your reaction to any fight in the movie 'Vengeance of an Assassin.'
Merantau also means "going abroad" or Going far away alone
The martial art used in this movie is more traditional so it has more hand trap and lock.
the elevator fight with iko and yayan in this movie is pretty good
choreo guy is datok edwel yusri
You should check the apartment fight scene in when the night comes for us
haha this and ong bak definitely started the south east asian action boom
Another great fight scene is Scott Adkins vs Tim Man. From Ninja 2 Shadow of a Tear.
great stuff. Check out the final fight scene of The Man from Nowhere!
Will do!
my recommendation is Fatal Contact: Wu Jing vs 3 fighters
oh yes i was thinking about this one too, specially against the last one of the 3 fighters ( think his name is Andy On )
I have to find this movie!
I think you can buy it on UA-cam
what style Does Iko use again??
Silat harimau (tiger) its mainly from minangkabau
