Barry Prima is back as my favorite Dutchman-slayer, in what I believe is the third installment of the warrior-series. This time Barry teams up with a religious ninja chick calling herself the Black Squirrel (protip: if you want to be feared, name yourself after a cute rodent)! The Dutch colonists decide to use the same tactics as in the previous films and team up with a bunch of magical bad dudes. A wrinkly, old sorcerer that is carried around in a chair and literally stares people to death, a shitty witch that literally lose her face and, my favorite, a pissed off, constantly shouting muscleman with iron skin that emerges from a volcano at the beginning of the film. There's not a single scene including this guy, where he doesn't crush innocents and at the same time shout/growl nonsense about wanting revenge. He's also indestructible, super-strong and burns people to cinders by touching them. However, the raging volcano-hulk somehow manages to get his ass handed to him by Barry mid-movie. This makes the final fight between Barry and - behold! - a lame noble with no superpowers whatsoever, somewhat of an anticlimax. While the available prints of this look pretty bad, the film is well worth a look. Nonstop sorcery and fighting, Indonesia-style!
