of Pitung's story exist. One of the earliest, and the first film, was made in 1931. It was entitled Si Pitoeng and produced by the Wong brothers, American-trained directors of Chinese descent. The film starred Herman Shin as Pitung and the keroncong singer Ining Resmini as a love interest. Several novels were published in the 1970s, with several films also released in that decade. One of the most successful films about Pitung from that period was Si Pitung, which was released in August 1970 and became the most watched of the year, viewed by 141,140 persons; this version also introduced a love interest named Aisjah. In May 1971, the film Banteng Betawi was released as the sequel of Si Pitung, which tells of the death of Pitung; two other sequels followed, in 1977 and 1981. There were also television series made about him. Si Pitung Museum, a house which reportedly belonged to Hadji Sapiudin, is located in Marunda. The house has also been said to be Pitung's.
