Popcorn Culture - Review: Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan

In this episode, we review the local phenomenon that has been dominating cinema screens and breaking all kinds of Malaysian box office records - Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan. Now considered the highest grossing Malaysian film of all time, Mat Kilau is an epic retelling of the titular character's charge against colonialists in Pahang before Malaysia gained independence. We discuss the film's now-famous fight choreography, its place as a historical biopic, and its ability to create a frenzy among Malaysian moviegoers.
