What's really interestin' about Sandokan is that he's a Southeast Asian Pirate Hero specifically Malaysian that fights against the British for the freedom of his People and at the same time falls in love with a British Woman. This Story was created by an Italian Writer.
Sandokan seems to be a pretty cool Asian Hero. He was created durin' a time where Asians especially South Asians and Southeast Asians were portrayed as weak. Hell I doubt that the left wing extremists and fundamentalists can create such a dope character cause they're talentless.
