* AntiVillain: Bangun is a very wise man by villain standards. Though he has no problem getting rid of problematic elements in the city or his organization, he is extremely fair and appreciative to the soldiers who work for him. When a war very nearly breaks out with Goto's syndicate, Bangun breaks the tension by being apologetic and offering a "peace package" to the latter.

Kick The Son Of A Bitch has been disambiguated. Missing Trailer Scene belongs to a Trivia tab. Diagnosed By The Audience (formerly named Ambiguous Disorder) and Self Imposed Challenge belongs to a Ymmv tab.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Bejo displays almost [[LackOfEmpathy no emotion]] beyond [[SmugSnake smug satisfaction]], does many things throughout the movie in an ''extremely'' drawn-out, overly dramatic way (pushing the box cutter over to Uco, picking up the phone) and walks with an unexplained limp. Whether all this is due to some sort of behavioral disorder or something else is never explained.



* 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. Uco is a scumbag, no question, but it's an uncomfortable scene nonetheless, pointing to a possible [[FreudianExcuse reason why]] Uco is the way he is.
** Bunawar killing Wahyu, as well. Wahyu's a hard guy to feel sorry for, but it's still a pretty shocking moment, and establishes Bunawar's moral ambiguity.



* MissingTrailerScene: The shot of Ryuichi (Keiichi's right hand man) shooting someone point-blank in the head while passing on an escalator is not in the film.



* PayEvilUntoEvil: Downplayed. Bunawar will go through extreme lengths just to root out every corruption within the precinct with just a gun.

* SelfImposedChallenge:
** Prakoso picks up his machete and then fights his way through a horde of bodyguards without using the machete, instead just fighting one-handed until the final guy.
** The Assassin tests his silat against Rama barehanded, even pausing the fight to square off in a number of ceremonial poses, before he resorts to using his knives.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** [[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 [[{{Bowdlerise}} 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).
