StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Leofwine_draca Here's an Indonesian rip-off of the RAMBO films, hilarious because it is so incompetently made. Nobody makes films like they do in Indonesia and this is just as crazy in some ways as the horror and fantasy films made in that country. The plot involves an individual named Rambu (yep, he even wears a red bandanna for the finale - how obvious can you get?) who is hired by a shady organisation to fight crime. The big surprise is that his boss is as crooked as the enemy they are fighting, so Rambu basically kills all of the bad guys in the movie at the end of the film in an anti-climatic and poorly-staged action sequence, full of cars exploding for no reason and people dying unconvincing deaths. The film is packed with action throughout, with loud sound effects dubbed in. Most of it is routine hand-to-hand stuff but with some amusing exceptions detailed below.The dubbing is along the lines of "Let's kill that Intruder now!" and "I'm going to kill you!", cheesily overemphasised and the words quite ridiculous. At a model show, one of the girls is ordered to "show him your chest!" by her cruel captor. There are continuity errors galore and the acting is about as laboured as you might expect. The only non-Asian in the cast is the lean and muscular lead Peter O'Brian, who wears a single expression throughout the movie and overacts all the time with much hilarity all round. The film depicts an unpleasant sadistic attitude towards women, with girls being raped and horrifically mutilated and murdered (at least that's the impression I get, as the British print has been heavily cut). To make matters worse the revenge taken on the bad guys who perpetrated the crimes is nowhere near as bad as the violence they commit, instead they die in quick explosive deaths.THE INTRUDER is worth watching for bad movie lovers for the crazy scenes scattered throughout. One is at the beginning when the Intruder gets in a fight with a couple of thugs and uses a BALL to repel them, repeatedly bouncing the rubber missile off their heads and knocking weapons from their hands! The same ball turns up later in the movie to knock off another couple of baddies. The highlight of the film for me comes when the Intruder goes to rescue a captured girl, arriving in a covered tricycle. Soon after his friends, all in identical matching tricycles, turn up and battle the bad guys who ride mopeds. What follows is one of the silliest battles you'll ever see which ends with a man falling onto the front of two bikes and being propelled through a brick wall! There is also plenty of violence with people being machine-gunned by shoddy effects work and a fair amount of sex, which has been recorded over by a prude on the video I saw, with clips of hairdressing and NEIGHBOURS! Which is the more offensive?! Although the unpleasant misogyny leaves a bad taste in the mouth, THE INTRUDER is so poorly made and silly that it's impossible to take seriously, instead watch it for a good laugh!

HaemovoreRex The Stabilizer himself, Peter O'Brian (sans the tight perm this time around) pops up here in another pretty wacky Indonesian action epic.This time around our man is Rambu and yes, you've guessed it, his character isn't exactly a million miles away in resemblance to a certain Hollywood movie icon….Cue plenty of hilariously sped up, ferocious fight scenes, a rather bizarre motorbike vs Autorickshaw battle(!), an explosion packed finale and atrocious acting, dubbing and voice over work throughout and you end up with this minor bad movie classic.Certainly it starts off excellently (the opening scene is a classic!) and ends on a high (not to mention explosive!) note but to be honest, the main bulk of the film is a less than engaging affair despite the glowing reviews many other ostensibly easily excitable folk on here are bestowing upon it.For fellow connoisseurs of cinematic craptaculars, it's certainly worth a look but it has to be said, is nowhere near as much fun as the utterly demented spectacle that marks as Arizal's ultimate masterpiece, namely the hilarious Final Score.

jimsamx (warning, some spoilers ahead!!! :-D )First there was Orson Welles with "Citizen Kane". Then there was Akira Kurosawa with "Yojimbo" and "Seven Samurai". Although these films are considered... let's say, "good" they really can't stand a chance to this masterpiece. directors can learn many things from Jopi Burnama's "The intruder" a.k.a "Rambu". It's a giant step towards a new way of thinking. Jopi Burnama is a revolutionary director and his way of storytelling is ahead of our time. Alex Tarambuan (Rambu) is an unemployed bum who fights evil crime lord John White who killed our hero's wife. Seems pretty lame right? Ideed IT IS! But it's the little details that make this movie shine. How many times will you see a stuntman getting himself killed about 6-7 times in a scene? (it's a guy wearing a white hat near the final battle!) Another scene depicts a dancer inside a box/pyramid/something like that, taking off her clothes and throwing them back at the audience (even though she is inside a box with closed doors!)There are many Easter Eggs in this movie, I will not spoil them all, it's more fun to discover it on your own. However there is a scene I MUST describe it. The FLY. The most innovating aspect is definitely the (uncredited) fly walking around Rambu's lips and face in the "beach scene". No other actor but Peter O'Brian (whom I actually admire, no one ever made me laugh and feel that way as he did) would agree to do this. I really believe it wasn't a blooper in the film, Jopi Burnama would never do such a thing!As many other reviewers say, you have to see it to believe it. It's true. The acting, the dialog, the wonderfully bad music score - it all blends perfectly - and when we get to see Rambu's SUPER ROUND THING -TENNIS BALL-WHATEVER (or is it an orange?) striking it's master's enemies and then returning to his hands... Ladies and Gentlemen we have a masterpiece. Rambu knows no fear, he is here to destroy with a steel rod, our dinner dinner table, to snatch whips from cruel gangsters, to climb like spider-man on skyscrapers, to shoot a (obviously painted) missile... to scream like a maniac while shooting on walls.I think Ed Wood would be proud. Though it's not his kind of movies (vampire Rambu would be awesome) I think the Intruder proves how much we need B-Movies... "B" for "BAD". And Rambu is a BAD MOVIE. But so hilarious, so unintentionally funny. It takes itself so seriously, especially the scenes where we get to see Rambu's grimaces, his fury, his twisted mind when he tries to kill poor (murderous minion) Charlie.However I am impressed that this movie was rediscovered only now. I had seen this many years ago and I was deeply moved by it. I bet every kid would like to be Rambu and run with his Super-Bulletproof-Three-Wheeled-Vehicle (which I call the RAMBU-MOBILE). I thought this movie would be at the top in every movie - list in the world by now. I am glad that this movie today finally gets the recognition it deserves. For years we had to live with lower-quality movies like Rambo, Kickboxer, Ninja Demon massacre, Apocalypse Now, Ran and Blade Runner... It's time for a REAL movie with a REAL plot.So, is this worth watching.? Of course! It will make you laugh. You will like it even if it's not your favourite genre. The Intruder is a cult - classic.Thank you Jopi for making this movie. Thank you Peter for participating in this difficult task of bringing Rambu to life. hank you all you who worked so hard to bring us such a magnificent piece of film - making.Corny dialogs + awful story + horrible music + mediocre direction = The greatest B-Movie in cinema history. Don't miss it. There are many other things I could say about it, I could talk about it for hours, even days, trying to understand the deepest meaning and moral of this movie. But words cannot describe such accomplishment. See it. It will forever stay in your heart10/10

thomashulstrom Of all the films I have ever seen, this film is the one i treasure the most. Full of action and drama, violence and sex, shootings, fistfights, three wheeled scooters and mopeds, bad guys, bad actors... It even has a stuntman getting killed eight times (the dude with the white hat - he gets run over by a car, shot, blown up - you name it). Starring Peter O'Brian as Rambu, and directed by the famous Punjabi brothers (Punjabi, Punjabi and Punjabi), our story opens up with a couple of goons (Charlie and Harry) driving recklessly down a pebble road. You hear the scream of tyres and a sound reminiscent of 200 pounds of dead meat hitting something solid... an old farmer woman picks up her stuff and Charlie yells "Watch where you're going bitch!" "I WAAAAAS" she replies. "Naah... women are all the same... think you can getaway with bullshitting me!" and at this point our hero emerges, a Sylvester Stallone lookalike with big ears. I must say he does actually look a lot like Sylvester Stallone... could it be his cousin ? I don't know, Bu he sure knows how to throw a tennis ball. He manages to kick the two moronic bad guys asses with this ball - it returns to Rambus hand every time he throws it like a sticky booger to your finger.When the goons tries to escape in their car, Rambu foils their plan by hitting Charlie in the forehead with this ball, resulting in the car going down the ditch and bursting into fire. AND THIS IS JUST THE OPENING SCENE! I cannot do this film justice, YOU HAVE TO SEE IT! I have seen it more than 30 times and i still love it. I still discover new errors and details that i somehow missed earlier. From Rambus big ears to Charlies overgrown mustache, mopeds going so slow the riders can hardly keep the balance (filmed in slow motion so Rambu can do some acrobatic kicks and punches), nude scenes with below average oriental females (except one), to awful effects and terrible dubbing... Somehow it all makes sense when you see it. See this film - you wont regret it!
