History Film / TheRaid2Berandal

* BornWinner: Uco and Keiichi; their dads have authority and they are feared for it.

* TheEvilPrince: Uco is a mob version of this, the spoiled and cowardly son of the boss, and is ultimately a patsy for the ManipulativeBastard Bejo.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: At one point Bangun is so outraged with a particularly bad screwup from Uco that he smacks his son around a couple of times. It sounds awful out of context, but it's hard to feel sorry for Uco considering what a {{Jerkass}} he's been up to that point, not to mention the screwup in question resulting in a lot of unnecessary bloodshed. [[spoiler: And Uco still plans to betray his father in the end as well.]]

* NonActionBigBad: Bejo, whose only direct kill in the entire movie was one of his henchmen by mistake while trying to kill Rama.

* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Unless you understand Indonesian.

A sequel to 2011's ''Film/TheRaid'', Indonesian martial-arts [[ActionGenre action]] movie ''The Raid 2: Berandal'' (meaning "Thug") was released worldwide at the end of March 2014. The film follows the main character's journey right after the end of the first movie. This was originally director Gareth Evans' dream project before budget limitations forced him to create a simpler movie.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment
** The moment Bejo kills Andi shows just how bad he is.
** The Assassin's first fight against Rama shows how he's one of the most dangerous fighters in the movie.
* EvilVersusEvil: The plot is propelled by the ambitions of two rival gangs.

** Bangun and Goto's sons are both heirs to major crime families, but with different temperaments. Uco is impulsive, impatient to inherit, and a huge disappointment to the father he ultimately murders, while Keiichi is measured, eager to learn from his father, and loyal: everything a mob kingpin could hope for in a son.

* ICanStillFight: [[spoiler: With all his injuries, Rama decides to infiltrate Bejo's hideout and miraculously win against everybody in it. It's worth noting that Rama has at the start of the day been attacked by corrupt cops and takes, aside from punches, two nasty cuts to an arm and a leg. He barely has time to treat them before being called to Bangun's office, where he fights and is knocked out by the Assassin. He then fights four guys in the brutal car chase. It's only a few hours later that he launches his RoaringRampageOfRevenge, still injured. And then he keeps taking injuries as he progresses through Bejo's lair.]]

* MissingTrailerScene: The shot of Ryuichi shooting someone point-blank in the head while passing on an escalator is not in the film.

* PsychopathicManchild: Hammer Girl and her brother Baseball Bat Man. They killed their abusive father and were taken in by the mob as children, which may explain their rather childlike behavior.

* RedOniBlueOni: Rama and Uco.

* SlidingScaleOfVillainThreat: This film posthumously sets up Mad Dog from the first film as the most dangerous character in the series. It took both Andi and Rama to take down Mad Dog in the first film, while in this installment, the most dangerous character is The Assassin, who Rama by himself outclasses in hand-to-hand before the karambits are taken out. Then again, Rama has been through a fair bit of training since the first film and TakenALevelInBadass.

* VillainRespect: Goto's son, Keiichi, is impressed by [[spoiler:Rama singlehandedly taking out Bejo, Reza, and all the henchmen protecting them.]]

** Rama says the same thing to Bunawar later when he learns that [[spoiler:Eka was a former cop who turned and decided to work for Bangun's crime syndicate]].

* WeaponOfChoice: Prakoso uses a machete, the Assassin wields a pair of karambits, and Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man use the weapons that made their names known as such.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Whoever Reza's superiors are. To an extent, Goto and Keiichi also qualify.

* TheMole: Rama becomes this in order to expose the corruption rampant in the city.

* ReverseMole: [[spoiler:Eka, the former cop that saves Rama during the car chase scene.]]

** The way Rama trains in prison (hitting a wall with the outline of a man written in chalk on it) is similar to that of the main character in ''Film/{{Oldboy}}''.

** Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man have cared very much for each other since their troubled childhood years.

* BadassGrandpa: While Prakoso is a father, he definitely looks old enough to qualify for this trope.

* Patricide: [[spoiler: Uco killed Bangun]].

* Patricide: [[spoiler: Uco killed Bangun]]

After surviving the ambush at Tama's apartment, Rama (again played by Iko Uwais) seeks protection for himself and his family from an honest police officer recommended by his outlaw brother, Andi. But his family's safety has a heavy price: his own freedom. Rama abandons his wife and son to go undercover, looking for evidence of corruption within the police force. But when the gang he infiltrate faces the threats of conspiring rivals, Rama gets caught within the conflict and has to fight his way out through the worst the underworld has to offer.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Wahyu. Considering that he was the one who conducted eponymous raid at the apartment and throw his own team to the wolves just so he can save his own skin in the first film, no one's gonna mourn for him after Bunawar puts a bullet in sorry ass.]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: Bejo and Reza, the police commissioner responsible for the events of the first film. Surprisingly, Reza gets very little screen time, and seems to be a bit of a LivingMcGuffin.

** Uco abuses an innocent bathroom worker who tries to give him tissues.

* AntiHero: Lt. Bunawar has an "ends justify the means" mentality. Although he wants to root out corruption in the city, he is willing to kill whoever could rat them out. His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him non-chalantly unload an entire clip of bullets into Lt. Wahyu (the AmbiguouslyEvil detective trapped with the team in the first film).

* ArrestedForHeroism: Rama zigzags this trope. He chooses to get arrested in order to help Bunawar's investigation, via beating up the son of a mobster. However, he ends up in prison for three years instead of a few months.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Wahyu, considering that he was the one who conducted eponymous raid at the apartment and throw his own team to the wolves just so he can save his own skin in the first film, no ones gonna mourn for him after Bunawar puts a bullet in sorry ass.]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: Bejo and Reza, the police commissioner responsible for the events of the first film.

** In a way, Bunawar is this too, since he constantly refuses to tell Rama critical information regarding his investigation. Undercover this translates to near death situation.

* BenevolentBoss: By all accounts, Bangun is this for a mob boss.

** "Yuda" is used as Rama's undercover name. Remember ''Film/{{Merantau}}'''s main character played by Iko Uwais? Yuda.

* TheDragon: Being Bejo's best henchman, the Assassin is this to him.

** The Assassin's first fight against Rama shows how he's the most dangerous fighter in the movie.

** Bangun and Goto's sons are both heirs to major crime families, but with different temperaments.
** Rama and the Assassin are both master silat fighters, work for ambitious crime middle bosses, and wear blue close-fitting jackets with short hair. Their fight reveals eerily similar symmetry, especially once Rama gets one of the Assassin's knives.

* HeroesFightBarehanded: Most noticeable example is Rama, other characters often use melee weapons, or, though not as prevalent, guns. Contrast with the first film where Rama freely used his knife and baton. The only time Rama uses weapons are [[spoiler: when he gets them off of Bejo's trio of killers and dispatches them with their own tools. He keeps the Assassin's karambits to take down Bejo since the last few bad guys are armed with guns]].

* HowWeGotHere: The film starts be intercutting Rama in prison and flashbacks to what led him there.

* IdenticalStranger: Prakoso is played by the same actor as Mad Dog from the first movie.

* ImprovFu: Widely used by Rama and Prakoso to take large amounts of enemies.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Practically required in a film this brutal. One noticeable example is the broom handle he uses in the mud fight.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: The Assassin has karambit (Indonesian traditional weapons) on his utility belt, but he chooses to fight Rama bare-handed. [[spoiler:Then subverted, he uses his karambit later after Rama starts to gain the advantage. Ironically, Rama manages to use one of his own weapons against him, which leads to his death.]]

* AbusiveParents: According to WordOfGod, there was a backstory thought up for Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man's parents which would have explained her damaged eye, but it wasn't explained in the film itself.

* AntiHero: Lt. Bunawar has an "ends justify the means" mentality. Although he wants to root out corruption in the city, he is willing to kill whoever could rat them out. His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him non-chalantly unload an entire clip of bullets into Lt. Waygu (the AmbiguouslyEvil detective trapped with the team in the first film).

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Andi is killed in the opening scene. Wahyu is killed not long thereafter.

* BiggerBad: [[spoiler:Reza's superior supervisor, who [[KarmaHoudini is still free of justice by the end of the film]]]].

A sequel to 2011's ''Film/TheRaid'', Indonesian martial-arts action movie ''The Raid 2: Berandal'' (meaning "Thug") was released worldwide at the end of March 2014. The film follows the main character's journey right after the end of the first movie. This was originally director Gareth Evans' dream project before budget limitations forced him to create a simpler movie.

** In a way, Bunawar is this too, since he constantly refuses to tell Rama critical information regarding his investigation.

* HandicappedBadass: Hammer Girl is deaf, mute, and apparently half-blind.

* ThePigPen: Prakoso, who lives in the streets and looks just as sleazy. Apparently a voluntary example, however.

* SilentAntagonist: The Assassin, due to being the Voiceless.

* TheWorfEffect: The Assassin, in his first appearance, kills Prakoso quite quickly.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Prakoso is already severely wounded when the Assassin catches up with him.

* BolivianArmyCliffhanger: [[spoiler:The ending shows Rama bleeding from multiple wounds, standing opposite the Japanese mob, and saying, "No... I'm done". However, a third film has been announced, so he probably survives.]]

** The snow in Jakarta during [[spoiler:Prakoso's death scene.]] The only snow-covered location in Indonesia is on Puncak Jaya mountain.

* AllThereInTheManual: According to director Gareth Evans, he had thought up a backstory for Baseball Bat Man and Hammer Girl, which would have explained her damaged eye and revealed that their parents were [[AbusiveParents abusive]]. However, due to time constraints, he wasn't able to film it.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Though Rama has gotten his revenge on Uco and Reza, the deaths of Bangun and Bejo have left a power vacuum in the city, with Goto's organization having free reign and Reza's supervisor still left unchecked. Additionally, it is unclear what happens to Rama in the ending after he confronts Keichi and Ryuichi in the final shot]].

* BookEnds:

* CarFu: In the car chase, as well as when Rama [[spoiler:launches his assault on Bejo's restaurant.]]

* ConfusionFu: In contrast with the technically impeccable rest of silat practitioners from the films, Prakoso's fighting style looks chaotic and [[ImprovFu improvised]] to an extent, especially during the club brawl, in which he throws furniture and attacks [[ScreamingWarrior while screaming]].

** Being slashed [[NoKillLikeOverkill 12 times with a karambit]] [[RasputinianDeath before having your throat ripped out]].

* FatalFamilyPhoto:[[spoiler:Prakoso's photo of his son.]]

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: [[DualWielding Dual]] carpenter hammers.

** A highlight includes [[spoiler:Rama killing Baseball Bat Man with his own bat. The bat stays lodged in his mouth, even after he falls over.]]

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged,]] if anything; while the ''sheer number'' of horrifically violent acts is turned UpToEleven, the film noticeably lingers on them for less time than the first film. WordOfGod has stated that [[{{Bowdlerize}} frames did have to be cut]] to avoid an NC-17 rating in America, which, frankly, makes sense (it's honestly shocking that the ''first'' film didn't receive such treatment).

* HappyEndingOverride: While the first movie [[BittersweetEnding didn't exactly end on a high note,]] Andi and Rama come to some sort of understanding, and him and Bowo came out alive from the raid. Then Andi gets killed in the intro to the sequel, and, depending of whether the deleted scenes are canon or not, Bowo might have been killed as well.

* {{Kicking Ass in All Her Finery}}: Hammer Girl in the subway fight.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rama's killing of [[spoiler:Uco, Bejo, and Reza]] leaves [[spoiler:nobody to stand in the way of the Yakuza taking over the city, save for Rama himself.]]

* NotSoDifferent: Upon receiving his apartment from Bangun, Eka tells Rama that they're "not so different", indicating that they came from "the same place". [[spoiler: It's revealed later on that Eka was a CowboyCop who betrayed the police force to join Bangun's syndicate. Eka repeats the same statement to Rama just before he dies]].

* OddlyNamedSequel: Unless you understand Indonesian.

* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: You ask, "Wouldn't one shot/slash/punch to the throat be enough?" and the movie answers, "Nope."

* UndyingLoyalty: Prakoso, he served Bangun for thirty years [[spoiler:and was still fighting for him until his death at the hands of the Assassin.]] He is also loyal to his family.

* BloodierAndGorier: this one is bloodier, gorier, and even more violent than the first one, it's quite honestly the most gruesome movie ever made
