When he was killed by a dagger he made himself for seven years, Empu Bharata (BZ Kadaryono) cast a curse on the killer, Untung Pararean (Arthur Tobing), his own student. Throughout his life, Untung will be miserable and killed by a keris he made himself. At first, Untung lived happily, got a beautiful wife, Sri Kemuning (Wieke Widowati), the king's niece, for saving him from robbers. Lucky to be commander in chief. Then the curse started running. His wife is crooked. As a result, Untung is sickly and almost insane. Luckily there was a kyai who suddenly came and helped him. Somehow, his wife and children are at the place of Empu Barata's older brother, the Masked Face Warrior (Nizar Zulmi), who had mutilated Untung's face. At that time the cleric came again to help. Untung then looked for his wife and child with a black veil to cover his disfigured face. Here comes Wiro Sableng (Tony Hidayat), who has his own business.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
