The
Golden Cane Clan is the strongest of the clans, but when Master
Cempaka picks her successors her remaining disciples feel they are
more worthy and decide to steal the golden cane for themselves and
frame the chosen ones for the murdering their master. The Golden
Cane Clan keeps the peace between the various clans and not taking
sides, but above all is one man who can make the ultimate difference
in Ifa Isfansyah's Indonesian martial arts epic The Golden Cane
Warrior (2014).
Biru,
Gerhana, Dara and Angin are disciples of the Golden Cane Clan,
however the Master Cempaka is dying and must pick her two successors
and past on the ultimate technique. The evil disciples Biru and
Gerhana poisons the master, steals the Golden Cane, frames the true
heirs and then takes over all the clans by force. Now, Dara must
find a lost master Naga Putih, learn the ultimate technique to clear
their names, and save the clans... and the Cane.
This was your
typical good versus evil story, that evil is only good without
knowledge and compassion. Good cares not for power and instead uses
it to protect and serve others, instead of one self. The whole thing
stories around what does it mean to be the strongest warrior and the
tragedy of cycle of violence for warriors.
The
1080p 2.35 X 1 digital High Definition image was shot on a RED EPIC
DRAGON HD camera and looks consistently good, if not always stunning,
while the DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 mix has a fine soundfield
throughout, if not a stunner of a surround mix. Extras include
trailers.
