Whoever said that violence never solves anything has never been to Peru.
Some facts about Peru :
In 1935, Dr. Forrestal traveled to Peru to recover the Chachapoyan fertility idol and disappeared. The following year, Indiana Jones traveled to Peru to recover the idol and determine Forrestal’s fate. After claiming the idol from the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors, Indy was forced to give it up to another competitor, René Belloq, and flee via amphibious plane.
What? You say that’s from Raiders of the Lost Ark? Damn skippy it is. I love that movie.
Anyway, in the real world which I sometimes visit, Peru cannot survive. Seriously, it cannot. How can a country that settles all their conflicts with brute force survive? And yes, I do mean that ironically.
Anyway, Takanguy is based on an old Incan tradition, and whatever happened to them, know what I mean? Hmm? Hmmmmm?
Is all this just an excuse for me to post Lego Indiana Jones in The Raiders Of The Lost Brick?
Of course it is.
And why would they keep up this ridiculous tradition?
The question in Imponderable.

It’s all good clean cathartic fun & games until someone gets a broken nose, cracked ribs, or a hairline skull fracture.

To be honest, it sounds much better and more logical than what they (we) do in other countries (lawyers and courtrooms, or spite and grudges that turn into endless, childish fights that go on for years)…

Might make for an interesting documentary, too – As opposed to a ” reality show “. Cultural anthropology & a study in psychology.

Yes, but a reality show would make them all live in the same house and vote on eliminations.

Actually isn’t Jersey Shore a sort of combination of Reality TV and Takaguy?

I can honestly say that I have not seen even ten seconds of that show, unless you count some clips during Beavis and Butthead.

I heard from a guy who directed a music video that used a reproduction of the golden Incan idol prop from the same workshop that made the original used in the temple scene in ” Raiders “. It caught my attention like a sore thumb outlined in NEON.
