Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gundala resurrects a 1969 Indonesian comic character created by Harya 'Hasmi' Suraminata, banned during Suharto's New Order regime for its political undertones.
Director Joko Anwar hid his own horror film posters as graffiti in alley scenes, and the orphanage numbers correspond to actual years of government corruption scandals.
