| Merantau | comment |
Merantau (Journeying) is a 2009 Martial Arts Movie directed by Gareth Evans and starring Iko Uwais.It tells the story of a young Indonesian martial artist named Yuda, practitioner of the silat harimau style, who leaves his home to travel to the bustling city of Jakarta in order to make a name for himself, in a centuries-old Rite of Passage called Merantau. However, after a series of setbacks leave him homeless and uncertain about his new future, a chance encounter results in him defending the orphaned Astri from becoming the latest victim of a European human trafficking ring.The film, a surprisingly dark one for its genre, is considered the movie that gave international fame to Uwais, who later starred on The Raid Redemption along part of the same cast and again under Evans's direction. | |

Elevator Action Sequence: Yuda and Eric fight in an elevator just before the climax. This is preceded by an uncomfortable elevator moment. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Merantau / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: How the city is portrayed in contrast with Yuda's idyllic former life on the country. Adapting to it is a part of the Merantau journey. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Merantau / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Ratger beats Johnny up during a tantrum and breaks a glass over Luc's head during another. Subverted in that he immediately repents doing the latter and hugs Luc in apology, but the act, rather than making him look caring, only shows further how nuts he is. | |

Kick Chick: A male example - Luc, due to being quite tall with proportionately long legs, uses a lot of kicks to keep Yuda at bay in the final fight (in contrast to Ratger, who mostly throws punches, elbows and knees). | |

Mook Chivalry | |
| Merantau / int_955aba87 | comment |
Mook Chivalry: Zig-zagged during the final brawl. Although Ratger and Luc fight Yuda in a very coordinated manner, they do some strategic hesitating in order to keep the duel in an alternate one on one. However, at the same time, they do attack him in unison at vital moments and use actual team moves on him. | |
