Snippet of the official trailer for the 2009 Brasilian historical fantasy feature film “Besouro (The Assailant)”, directed by Joao Tikhomiroff, and starring Ailton Carmo in the lead role. The film centers around Besouro Manganga, a Capoeirista from the early 1920s to whom was ascribed many heroic and legendary deeds.

The film’s fight scenes were choreographed by Huan Chiu-Ku, who is most famous for his choreography of the Matrix & Kill Bill films. Even though the main protagonist specializes in Capoeira, Hong Kong cinema-style “wire fu” elements were used to give the martial art a more fantastical depiction. Afro-Brasilian mysticism also plays an integral part of the film, as the protagonist is eventually visited by many Ifa orishas.

The film can be seen on Amazon Prime & YouTube with english subtitles. [x]
