Next react The raid 2 ,,Headshoot,,THE NIGHT COMES FOR US ,,Brutal movie Indonesia 😬
The raid 2
Even better from the raid 1
My opinion...
Go watch it guys..
Please react Trailer Indonesian superhero films: GATOTKACA, WIRO SABLENG, GUNDALA AND SRI ASIH
Next The Raid 2
Cool fact the guy that plays Maddog was not only the fight choreographer but he was also part of the elite private guard for the President of Indonesia. He is considered a national hero in his country. So he is a badass on screen and off.
Oh and definitely watch the second Raid it tells the complete story and takes the action to new heights.
@@ladygeek3647"ex-" and he's not private guard, he's just their trainer
not a private guard. Only an ex trainer. Don't be that much bro
The saying about Iko being so quick that the camera cant follow this movements is real. He's often being told to slow down during the film making because he's just really that fast. Lewis Tan even said that during his training for Wu assassins Iko is so quick that it looks like his movements has been speed up edited lol
That's insane! My mind can barely comprehend that level of skill haha
@@EricSarahReact iko is a son of a master silat, and now he's one himself. joe taslim who played jaka was a national judo athlete.
Fun fact: Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park did part of the soundtrack for the film.
Some of the best fight choreography ever in this movie.
"Some of"? What else comes close? Honest question. So far The Raid 1/2 have peak choreography out of everything I've seen. And my nerd ass have seen a lot.
@@AngryJT Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Also pretty much all of Jackie Chans early movies. Oh and the movie Ong Bak.
@@infinitysynthesis CTHD is too cheesy to me. Drunken Master 2 is almost on The Raid's level. Ong Bak is sweet but that's more due to the lack of wirework.
@@AngryJT personaly 100% agreed w you. so far only most satisfied by these two The Raid Movies.
I love Yayan (Mad Dog) and Cecep (Final Boss in raid 2) cameo in John Wick 3 as well. But they should have gotten more screen time and showing more of their fight choreography in that movie.
In my opinion the sequel is even better! You definitely should react to it. The guy who plays Mad Dog is in it again but as a different character.
For me the first one still the best. Even the sequel was not bad. Its still top tier but the redemtion is everything
I think the first one is much better like better at storyline and got me sweaty but the sequel is still great tho
@@YuukiOda0911 I feel like the more I think about it the more I go back-and-forth which one I like better
I like to imagine that the actor playing Mad Dog in the sequel is still playing Mad Dog as if the character was so badass that he survived Rama in the original film. You don’t find out his real name in the first film and in the second a reference is made to the character having been hit before and managing to take care of himself.
Well uncle josh it's a pleasure to see you here.
Your nephew,
Anthony
❤
For me, this movie changes the whole martial arts movie industry. Even the John Wick movies, that I believe inspired by it, well more or less. 🙂
There's definitely a time before and after "The Raid", at least when it comes to mainstream action
Its not only an opinion. Its a fact.
This is like a masterclass in editing, translations, tension, and great choreography. Great reaction. The 2nd one is just as good and picks up right where this left off.
I love when a film shows me something I haven’t seen before. This movie is definitely in this category.
Absolutely! It was a fabulous watch
@@EricSarahReact Hi Eric and Sarah have you stopped making reaction videos?
Mike Shinoda the creator of Linkin park, Xero and Fort Minor created the soundtrack for the film, I was introduced to this film because of his involvement.
Yayan Ruhian (the guy who played Mad Dog) was 42 years old when he performed in this movie. His physical condition is just incredible.
When fight choreographer is so good that you ask him to act as well.
* absolutely * watch the sequel. it's more of a sprawling crime drama - it's actually the film the director wanted to make first but he couldn't get the funding - so the pacing isn't as uniquely relentless as redemption. but the set-piece fights are if anything even wilder.
One of the best action movies.
I watched it 2 times in cinema and likes 50 times since blu ray release.
I love it.
Its a shame the third one never came to be.
yeah, been waiting for the 3rd movie but it never came out. However, if you want to watch the similar movie, you can watch The Night Comes for Us in netflix.
Mad Dog is one of the greatest villain of all time.
Dude, this movie kicks ass! Like others have said, the coreagrophy is amazing 🔥🔥
Yeay its finally here! Always love to see foreign content creator enjoying Indonesian movies! Hopefully you two will also continue with the sequel.
The original plan for this movie was to actually make the sequel as the original The Raid however Gareth Edwards had no finances to do so at the time so he made The Raid: Redemption with less budget hence why it has a more indie feel. They still did not skimp on the action as it is still amazing but The Raid 2 is next level.
Wow to think The Raid 2 kicks it up a notch sounds awesome! We'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the info and we hope you enjoy the video :)
@@EricSarahReact yes! The Raid 2 cranked it up to 11 with a more open storyline and more amazing action scenes. Thank you for this and all of your reaction video!
@@EricSarahReact I'd like to see you guys to react for more Indonesian movies, you saw TNCFU, The Raid and probably the sequel coming. But Indonesia also has some pretty cool horrors, like May The Devil Take You (by the director of TNCFU, it's on Netflix but the sequel is on Shudder), The Forbidden Door by Joko Anwar had US release recently, and his Impetigore and Satan's Slaves are on Shudder. Queen of Black Magic by Kimo Stamboel is also on Shudder. Or maybe do Indonesian superhero movie Gundala by Joko Anwar, it's on Hulu I believe. Gundala is the first installment of Bumilangit Cinematic Universe, and their next movie Sri Asih is coming out on October 6th, so maybe it'll be interesting for you guys. I personally think Gundala had a lot of stuff to improve but it's still a good start.
@@irvxan Yes please, Sri Asih teaser makes me interested! Also those horror movies would be cool.
@@EricSarahReact Hi Eric and Sarah when will you make new reaction videos again, you're channel is one of the best :-)
i have seen this movie and honestly after watching it my body get very tired and felt like all bones hurts , very intense movie !
Yes, you're right. Yayan the guy who played Mad Dog was in John Wick 3, along with other extremely talented (deadly) fighter from The Raid 2, Cecep
Omg woah I’m the younger sibling Anna 😌
🥳🎉🥳
Great Reaction! Elite Squad ( Tropa de Elite ), is a foreign movie (Brazilian) that I think you would like to watch next.
The Raid 1 & 2 are movies made with the aim to promote Indonesian martial art - Pencak Silat, hence the fight choreograph in those movies were based on that martial art. Iko Uwais (Rama) and Yayan Ruhian (MadDog) who designed the fight choreo were both grandmaster of PS.
One of the rare instances where the sequel is even better.
I love the movie!! The best part is that this isn't even the movie they wanted to make. Gareth Evans wrote a movie called Berandal but the project turned out to be too complex and they couldn't get funding. So they decided to make a simpler movie with a smaller budget almost as a proof of concept and that turned into The Raid. Once they showed what they could do Evans rewrote Berandal (the movie he originally wanted to make) so that it tied in with events in The Raid and this became The Raid 2
Great reaction! Have you seen Dredd? It is similar to this movie but not enough that it feels like a copy, a pretty awesome movie based on the comics... And yes the actor that played Mad Dog was in John Wick 3
Eric did a long time ago but we may get to it eventually since I haven't!
- Sarah
Gotta watch the sequel. It’s one of those rare occasions when it’s better plus it’s in the convo for best action movie ever.
I, an Indonesian, am very proud of the worldwide popularity of laha films like The Raid. What I like most about the film, apart from the character of each actor, is also the fight scenes that are made as natural as possible without the help of excessive effects, making this film enjoyable to watch like we see a real fight.
And also, how visceral the action is, like a constant fight for survival
😱😱😱
After those years, we still find another new reaction.
The prison fight scene in the second film is epic,
fun fact these films were actually banned in Malaysia I think due to certain scenes like the prison scene I mentioned in the second film, and certain death scenes in the first film
You should also check out Merantau, the film the guys made before The Raid. It plays like a test run for this, and is severely underseen.
If you want more of the Actor that played Jaka, The Night Comes for Us is good
Currently watching this on Netflix rignt now while set my expectation to low because idk what I am going to see in this,Man,This is surprisingly fun. Camera,Tone,Fight scene. Feel like I'm playing Yakuza and Sleeping dog while watching this movie. 10/10.
After Raid 2, I recommend *Headshot (2016)* . It's made by the same team as TNCFU and starring Iko Uwais as well.
One of the best action movies I've ever seen
Love you guys, always happy to see a new upload
Speaking of foreign films, you should check out Pan's Labyrinth. It's a masterpiece
Saw this film on Christmas Day 2017, with my family on DVD and we loved it! There is even a sequel The Raid 2 that was released.
one thing i havent figured out is the similarity of "the raid" and "dredd" they have both play in a different world but if you have seen one, you also have seen the other. they are so similar, there are entire scenes that are basically identical, the entire story has the same twists at the same points in time. its like someone prepared a film script and then made two movies out of the same script.
and both films are more or less released at the same time so it cant be some sort of remake.
idk how many times i've watched this reaction, and i'm still waiting for the sequel reaction lol
The person who said he doesnt like to use guns is a stunt coordinator. im not sure how much job did he do in this movie but i bet a lot. he also worked on some hollywood films since this.
And you were right, he was also in john wick 3!
We Need PART 2 of this film reaction!
I love the way u guys react to the Raid redemption n look forward ur reaction video to the Raid 2, i'm ur new sub here🤘
i cant find you on audea - can you post audio versions of your videos there? would love to listen to them! thanks again for the amazing content!
Maybe I didn't see all action movies. But by far raid 1-2 is the best. Also recommend check headshot 2016. Iko killing it again, also such badass villian
Would you guys watch the Raid berandal, that was the sequel of this movie and for me the 2nd film was good with the cinematography. I think you guys would like it
Oh and check Merantau, it stars Iko and it was Gareth Evans first film in Indonesia, hence why his production company is called Merantau.
How about the Korean film "I Saw the Devil"? It's a horror/thriller starring Choi Min-sik from Oldboy and Lee Byung-hun who was just in Squid Games. Similar to Silence of the Lambs, I think you guys would dig it. Easily in my top 5 Korean films of all time.
Thanks for the recommendation! Oldboy is on our list as well ☺️
This is one of the most exhausting movies I’ve ever watched, in a good way!
There are behind the scenes/ making of videos on CZcams for the Raid.
Great reaction!
I couldn't see it in the comments, but if you're looking for behind the scenes discussions on how stunts like these are done, I highly recommend watching the "stuntmen react" videos by Corridor Crew: those are really insightful
In particular, I recommend this one for some raid and John wick commentary/comparisons:
czcams.com/video/yQMn2Ed8QsM/video.html
SuperB Raid 1 and 2 goodjob guys 👊🏻
Ramen Noodle earrings lol looks cool
Theres a channel called corridor crew and they have a series called "Stuntman react bad and great hollywood stunts" or something like that. they did a reaction to this movie!
I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)
But dat Motorhead shirt tho!
It may surprise people that the director is Welsh.
The Raid 2 is spectacular, more Godfather-esque, a sprawling epic.
Evans also directed a short horror film on VHS 2 which is absolutely mind blowing.
Pencak Silat the Indonesian martial art is the art of aggressively striking using knee and elbow.
Well, Yayan "mad dog", is a sifu of martial art silat.
Iko, is also a sifu in silat.
You should check out dredd (2012), it has a similar setup, but the emphasis is on the shooting not on the fighting.
This is *the craziest* action movie I've ever seen till now
Best Korean y French foreign films are ...wait I'll tell you only if you want to watch it. But they are considered cinema gold and unknown
One of the classic action movies. , excited to see what the director does with his Netflix deal.
His new movie sounds interesting.
The Raid: Redemption is basically a second movie of The Raid series. The first one is "Merantau", and the MC is Rama's brother iirc.
I also like the music, Mike Shinoda was the composer
2 vs 1 fight is fcking epic! Glad some of them got to work in Hollywood. ❤🤘
Next up, the raid 2 berandal, has some improvements from the wider story and the battle scenes are still cool
The Raid 2 is even better.
The first movie this crew (director and fighters) made is called Merantau - also worth a watch.
You guys should watch the sequel the raid : berandal
Can't wait to see your reaction 🙏💖
I saw lot of youtuber when watching this, they like omg, wtf, oh damn.
How can you both get impressive ?? Hahaha god
My wife is Indonesian (where the movie is from) and Indonesians LOVE this movie. Why? You have to understand the level of corruption of the police over there. It's hard for Americans to grasp how bad it is - I thought about writing examples, but it would be a freaking book - point being, the police are all crooked - they (the cops) force any honest cops out - and bribery and violence is their way of doing business.
So - why do the Indonesian people LOVE this movie? Because they want good cops, they want heroes, and this movie was a MASSIVE hit over there. Think of it - do you know ANY other Indonesian movies? Any? This movies was MASIVELY popular in Asia - because many of their countries have the same problem.
We like it for the action and the "good guy against all odds" story - but it's popular in Asia for a very different reason.
As an Indonesian, im agree. Coruption is everywhere.
So, u should follow the news about Bjorka 😇😎
@@bungyusup3988 kenapa nyampe heker bejon anjrr
Can't wait The Raid 2
4:41 It's a frigging Sub-Zero, you know.
Soundtrack was done by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park for the American release.
They made this movie for $ 1.1 mio. That would have been the budget for 1 minute in a Jerry Bruckheimer film. This set the bar for actionmovies.
This is some of the most brutal movie I have seen.
After watching The Raid and the sequel, watching another action movie feels like a joke
Smart reacting.-Ernie Moore Jr
Onward to the sequel, The Raid 2!
and Iko (Rama) will play as main villain in Expendables IV
You should check out "Enter the Dragon" (1973), starring Bruce Lee.
Next the Raid 2 or Night comes for us
"I wanna know how many floors there are?"
A tough question^^
So, the reallife location has 10 floors
In the movie its said 15
The movie poster shows 26 but has 30 written on it.^^
Would make sense for the boss’ floor to be 15 in a 30 floor building though, that way cops have to make it an equal distance from either point of entry on the ground or roof, if you were set up on the top floor, they could just make it to the roof externally and be right on your doorstep as it were, so I believe it is a 30 floor building but they never needed to reach the top.
"what a fight" wait for the Raid 2
So many hollywood movie inspired by this movie.. next Raid 2 please... ^_^
You must see RAID 2 also
its similar to Judge Dredd film, love it.
Please react on some Indian movies like 3 idiots , PK , Dangal , kumbalangi nights , Bangalore days , Andhadhun , Mathu vadalara , Kaithi , Agent sai srinivasa athreya , Queen, Barfi , Asuran , Visaranai ,Drishyam. Please react on at least one of them . You will love them .
will there be the raid 2 that you will react ?
You two should go back to all the Original Bruce Lee films. He was the real deal. He's what made martial arts an icon and influence to all these films.
you must watching The Raid 2 because its so brutal
Selama ini kemana aja kok baru nonton ? 😂
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
go for the second sequel of this movie please
There is 2 actor that i know the actuall name, Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim
Other ones is Yayan Ruhian (who played as Mad Dog), Iko and Yayan played together in Star Wars (along with Cecep Arif Rahman, who played the Assassin on The Raid 2), and Yayan with Cecep played on John Wick 3
Eric, do you have a Brother who also have a reaction channel?🤔
I recommended you to watch
1. The Raid 2
2. The night comes for us
Thanks brother
The raid is before jhon wick movies,
U need reaction the raid 2, and The night comes for Us.
But if u don't like blood, don't watch "the night comes for us"
Thats movie was butal, same actor but different character.
Did either of you ever read Roger Eberts original review of this movie from 2011 ?, it's quite an interesting and surprising piece of writing.
Mad dog and Jaka are in John wick 3 lol
Not Jaka, but Mad Dog along with The Assassin on The Raid 2 were played on John Wick 3. Jaka was played on Fast & Furious 6 and Mortal Kombat
@@joshuakodrat thanks for correcting me buddy 👍🏻
@@deadrubyroadshow5825 yeah👍👍
Action-packed? Enjoyed it? Guys, this movie is BAD ASS! Let's hope no one remakes it. It would be a travesty of justice.
This is my favorite Indonesia movie
In my opinion the best iko movie is The night comes for us
