History YMMV / TheRaid

** Almost all the dialogues sound pretty narmy for native Indonesian speakers, as the language they use is way too soft and polite for brutal gangsters. To explain for non-Indonesians: never once in the whole movie the harshest Indonesian curses ''taik'' ("shit") or ''ngentot'' ("fuck") are ever used in the film, which creates a jarring situation where a film with [[{{Gorn}} extreme R-rated violence]] has the dialogue limitations of a prime-time TV show.

** When Mad Dog voluntarily disrms himself and explains his LetsFightLikeGentlemen mindset to Jaka, the latter has an absolutely hysterical [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "what loony bin did you escape from?!"]] look on his face.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: While there isn't a huge amount of comedy in the film, a few bits of choreography can stand out in a darkly humorous way. From Jaka blasting a mook with three point-blank headshots, to Mad Dog landing several haymakers that send a disoriented Rama collapsing to the floor, BlackComedy abounds.

* CompleteMonster: [[FauxAffablyEvil Tama Riyadi]] is a Jakartan crime boss known and [[TheDreaded feared]] for his cruelty and lack of any emotion except cold glee at his crimes. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] executing four hostages [[BoomHeadshot with a gun]], Tama opts to beat a fifth hostage to death [[DropTheHammer with a hammer]] just because he can. When a squad of special tactics police officers plan to infiltrate Tama's base of operations, a massive apartment complex, and arrest the criminal, Tama allows the strike to happen just so he can lead the dozens of officers into a trap and [[CopKiller slaughter them all]]. Cutting off their escape routes and ability to call for backup or help, Tama smugly challenges the thugs and crooks in the building to help kill the police in exchange for monetary rewards, only to then betray his allies and have his loyal goons kill any tenants wounded during the firefights with the cops so Tama can loot their bodies and apartments for money. When one of Tama's CoDragons, Andi, spares the life of Rama, one of the cops, because they are brothers, Tama responds by [[ColdBloodedTorture viciously torturing]] Andi and planning to kill him in front of Rama, and as Tama is captured by the officers, he cheerfully brags about the fact that his trap killed at least 18 cops in a single day.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** From the first film, Dagu. He became well-liked among fans for being a MauveShirt that survived to the final act and put on an impressive showing in the narcotics lab fight, alongside Rama. Many were dismayed when he was unceremoniously betrayed and murdered by Wahyu.
** From the second film, Baseball Bat Man and Hammer Girl for being a SiblingTeam with an impressive degree of skill with their respective weapons.

* MagnificentBastard:
** [[OneManArmy Rama]] is a rookie cop participating in the raid on Tama Riyadi to bring his criminal brother Andi home. Upon being trapped, Rama comes up with [[CombatPragmatist skilled strategies]] to hold off the horde of criminals, and allow for himself and other cops to escape before rescuing Andi from Tama's tortures. [[Film/TheRaid2Berandal When Andi is murdered by the crime lord Bejo]], Rama goes undercover in the Bangun crime outfit, endearing himself to Bangun's son Uco to steadily gain evidence to bring down the criminals and the [[DirtyCop corrupt police comissioner Reza]]. Ultimately choosing his morals, Rama dismantles the entire crime family after Bejo and Uco's coup with his superior fighting skills and brilliant tactical mind, being the last man standing and evidently refusing an offer to join the Goto family in the end to return to his wife and daughter.
** Bunawar is the superior to Rama in the police force and one of the few honest police officials around. Still a ruthless man, Bunawar executes the captive, corrupt Wahyo and gives Rama an ultimatum to infiltrate the Bangun crime family. Sending many moles undercover, Bunawar keeps them unaware of one another after one of them apparently went rogue and caused the deaths of ten good cops. Bunawar uses Rama to find information, intending on getting him close enough to bring down the corrupt police chief Reza and despite his chary attitude towards his moles' safety, Bunawar does not hesitate to put himself at risk to rush to assist Rama at the climax as the Bangun family falls.

** Almost all the dialogues sound pretty narmy for native Indonesian speakers, as the language they use is way too soft and polite for crime syndicate members.

* MemeticBadass: [[https://twitter.com/#!/YayanMadDog Mad Dog]] He's like the Indonesian Chuck Norris.

** For older Indonesians, BigBad Tama's final words may trigger bouts of uncontrollable laughter, as it amounts to a rather childish schoolyard insult common [[TotallyRadical around]] [[TwoDecadesBehind the 1950s.]] [[FridgeBrilliance Which is probably why it was said by one old guy to another old guy.]] It should be noted that in the English subtitles, it was translated as [[SpiceUpTheSubtitles "Fuck you!"]] or "Asshole!"
-->"Kampret lu!" (English translation: "You bat!" The proper context would more accurately be something like "You suck." This is also something that is likely to fly over the heads of many younger Indonesians.)
