* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: It's something you might not even notice, but during the car chase scene there's [[TheOner a single unbroken shot]] where the camera pulls back out of one of the cars, moves down the road, then into one of the pursuing cars and out the other side. ''This was actually done with practical effects.'' As [=WhatCulture=] showed on their list of [[https://youtu.be/WPDIFKr4D-U?t=226 9 Movie Special Effects Nobody Believed]], the camera was manually pulled out of the first car by a cameraman on a dolly and passed to another cameraman in the second car, who then passed it behind the driver through the rear window to another cameraman hidden on a platform attached to the other side of the second car. But why couldn't you see the second cameraman in the second car? ''[[HiddenInPlainSight He was disguised as the passenger seat!]]'' To go to ''so much effort'' for a shot that, while cool-looking, isn't necessarily something that the average viewer wouldn't even really register, has to be a shining example of DoingItForTheArt.

Rama. See the page for [[Film/TheRaid the first film]] for details.details.
** 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.

* CompleteMonster: [[AmbitionIsEvil Bejo]] acts as TheCorrupter to the [[WellDoneSonGuy young gangster Uco]], son of the top gangster of Jakarta, Bangun, who Uco feels has grown soft. Bejo shows his ambition in [[EstablishingCharacterMoment the opening scene]] by having protagonist Rama's brother executed via shotgun to the head for being a threat to him. He manipulates Uco by allowing him to slit the throats of men who had supposedly been behind an attempt on Uco's life--which Bejo was really behind--and convinced Uco to betray and murder Bangun's old friend and top assassin Prakoso, who has been like an uncle to Uco, and frame the rival Japanese gang for it, thereby provoking a MobWar. After Bangun refuses to declare war, Bejo then dispatches his legions of assassins to provoke the Japanese gang by murdering several of their targets. When Bangun still refuses and reconciles with the Japanese, Bejo tricks Uco into murdering his own father. Driven by nothing more than greed and ambition, Bejo will stop at nothing to climb the ladder in Jakarta's underworld no matter how many bodies he leaves in his wake.

* MagnificentBastard: Rama. See the page for [[Film/TheRaid the first film]] for details.



* StoicWoobie: Rama has it much worse here than in the first film. He volunteers to become TheMole in the Indonesian underworld and what was supposed to be six month stay in a violent prison turns into two years. This is not helped by the constant beatings and danger he puts himself through by getting into Uco's good graces. The entire time, he misses his wife and young child. [[spoiler:His fate is ultimately unknown as the film ends with him injured and standing in front of dozens of yakuza gangsters, stating that he's "done".]]

A random man the audience has never seen before shows up, confusing even Rama, says his being there makes Rama “somebody” and acts hostile the entire time like he’s the one in danger.

** The negotiation scene gives a rather funny example, courtesy of the mediator. He threatens to "disband" both Bangun's and Goto's organizations if they don't cease the conflict. This becomes funny if you have any knowledge of the Yakuza, which is an estimated ''400 years old'' and still going strong today. Threats of "disbanding" fall flat when an organization has that kind of history.

* OlderThanTheyThink: This is basically the film that introduced the karambit knives in modern martial arts cinema, with the duel between Rama and the Assassin being a highlight for them. However, those had already been featured in Creator/TonyJaa's ''Film/OngBak2'' five years earlier; they went unnoticed likely because that film featured many other weapons from Southeast Asia and the little knives weren't among the flashiest.

** Similarly, the scene in the club [[spoiler: when Prakoso is murdered.]] Prakoso looks around the bustling club, full of people, catches the eye of a woman who is clearly creeped out by the homeless-looking guy staring at her, then looks at his son's picture for less than a minute, and when he looks up because the music cut off, ''every single patron of the club has disappeared.'' Did he somehow pass out? Did the professional killer and highly-skilled martial artist not notice 50+ people leaving the club in under 45 seconds? While it does lead to one of the best fights of the film, it's a jarring scene that is poorly explained.
