here are the indonesian action movies I've seen in order of how much i liked them
1. the Stabilizer
2 Lady terminator
3. Virgins from Hell
4. the devil's Sword
They were all pretty good but stablizer was the best.
The best way to describe them is that they are very unsophisticated. not much in the way of the acting or cinematography and not a lot of comic relief either. Also, some of the fights go on way to long and the action, whether it's with guns weapons or hand to hand, is not anywhere near the level of Hong Kong. But they are very colorful. lady terminator even has a little nudity. i think the muslims are taking over that place now so probably it is ending before it even gets started, but it has a decent legacy of crazy stuff.
I own the LADY TERMINATOR and VIRGINS FROM HELL DVDs. I thought they were both very outrageous and entertaining. Real over-teh-top stuff . . . with some superbly ridiculous scenes and dialogue. Highly recommended for an evening of mindless fun!
I still have yet to dive into this arena. I'm hung up on Thailand at the moment. I know that Crazy Dave sells boots of a lot of Indonesian action movies. Some of them sound insane!
the version of the Stablizer i saw was put out by Troma, so probably not too hard to find and available on netflix. I'll check that site you mentioned
I always wanted to see the Indonesian Rambo ripoff, here's a clip of it

Jaka Sembung/The Warrior is another one I wanna see, Mondo Macabro (the ones who put out Devil's Sword and Lady Terminator) is putting it out soon, can't wait! Indonesia has a lot of stuff that b-movie fans would go crazy over, they put a lot of weird and cheap special effects in anything they can. Here's one of my favorite Indonesian special effects scenes, forgot if I showed it here before but anyways, enjoy:

Saw Lady Terminator at midnite movie, so bad its good, highly reccomended to bad movie fans. Also they took a elements (ok stole scenes) from Terminator that are pretty funny if you know the original well. :thumbup:
