2:04

Okay, raid two Okay, raid two.

2:06

I mean man. Oh man

2:08

Let me just ask you ask

2:10

you this because we've seen

2:12

a lot of fight movies here

2:14

on the channel. And in

2:16

general, you've seen a lot of

2:18

foreign language films all over

2:20

the place here and also over

2:23

on Javi's channels. How

2:25

do you feel that this stacks up? Is

2:27

this, is this movie a top for you?

2:29

Top, top, top, top. I mean, just from

2:31

the action sequences alone for sure. I like

2:33

that this movie too. And again, the first

2:35

movie I thought was top as well. What

2:37

I like that this movie, raid one, raid

2:39

one, the raid redemption, what I like that

2:41

this movie did. I mean, I liked that

2:43

the first movie, like just from the Kekko

2:45

did not stop. It was like literally a

2:47

roller coaster ride after room after room, one

2:49

place. So we were literally in one location

2:51

for them, for the, pretty much the whole

2:53

film. So where is it going to stop?

2:55

No way to stop. But this film too,

2:57

it had that balancing act of slow burn.

2:59

Too fast paced and I thought it did

3:01

a really good job of blending the two

3:03

just so beautifully together on top of that

3:05

and again I really did like the villains

3:07

a lot in the first movie But I

3:09

feel like this movie really took its time

3:11

letting you know the getting Getting us to

3:13

know the villains and what they're really what

3:15

their motivations are and just really letting those

3:17

characters develop throughout the film So I did

3:19

appreciate that a lot of world building with

3:21

that because it wasn't like you know There

3:24

was a lot of times where you and

3:26

I kind of looked at each other like

3:28

wait did they say this about this person

3:30

because There was a hundred characters in this

3:32

and there was a hundred locations and there

3:34

was multiple families that didn't like each other,

3:36

but also people within those families that didn't

3:38

like each other. So they were just like,

3:40

we're going to trust that you guys are

3:42

going to pick up the breadcrumbs because we

3:44

are going to put a lot out there.

3:46

I just hope you guys figured out. Yeah.

3:48

There was definitely a couple of times was

3:50

like, wait. to have a little trouble following

3:52

this. Thank God I had you here to

3:54

help that. I felt the same way because

3:56

I would be like kind of like, oh,

3:58

and then you would be like, oh, this

4:00

thing, I was like, yeah. And again, obviously

4:02

too, with what we do, it's not an

4:04

excuse, but we are trying to keep this

4:06

as entertaining for you as possible because we're

4:08

doing commentary as well as reacting. So sometimes

4:10

we might miss something, but you know. It's

4:12

also with the subtitles and the fact that

4:14

this isn't our only movie of the day

4:16

today. True. So, you know, when you are

4:18

doing that. there's a lot

4:20

going on not to mention the cameras the lights

4:22

all the stuff so of course you're gonna

4:24

miss some things sometimes and even when I'm at

4:27

home sometimes your mind just wanders for a

4:29

second usually what I do at home is I'll

4:31

just rewind really quick but here we don't

4:33

have luxury so for the people who are like

4:35

they how do you not know that Reza's

4:37

not and it's like bro, because we got a

4:39

lot thrown at us. And we did pick

4:41

it all up. Like, you know, it's not like

4:43

it was the most confusing storyline, but I'm

4:45

still with you. Yeah, true. And I think a

4:47

lot of those people too, while not, shouldn't,

4:49

shouldn't, in my opinion, they're coming from a place

4:51

of passion, but also too, they're coming from

4:54

a place of, I'm guessing they've seen the movie

4:56

multiple times. It's like, this is our first

4:58

time. So, you know, have a little compassion when

5:00

it comes to that. But again, all that

5:02

said, the action. some

5:05

of the greatest action I've ever, ever seen

5:07

that kitchen scene. Yeah. And then again, this

5:09

is not, and I know I taught, I

5:11

say this all the time, like as I'm

5:13

doing the review, this is not recency bias.

5:15

I really wholeheartedly mean this. That's some of

5:18

the best, like the highway scene, the mud.

5:20

I love the inventiveness just on that. The,

5:22

the, when it was raining and they were

5:24

in the mud, the mud. Oh my God.

5:26

I completely forgot about that too. But

5:31

just thinking about the action sequences.

5:33

But also, too, I really like

5:35

the character is Rima, right? Yeah.

5:38

Our guy, Rama, Rama, Rama,

5:41

Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama,

5:43

Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama,

5:55

Rama child that's gonna be born soon but also

5:57

on this one it's his wife and the

5:59

kid yeah and it's the same thing here but

6:01

also too he's kind of on a revenge

6:03

tale as well and also he's been through the

6:05

grinder he just went under cover for over

6:07

two years so it's like when he thought it

6:09

was gonna be a couple months when he

6:11

thought it was gonna be a couple months so

6:13

like all that turmoil this character's been through

6:15

like you really root for a character like that

6:18

and obviously what we've been through with the

6:20

character as an audience in the first movie And

6:22

just like we really emotionally are attached to

6:24

this character as well as he's just a badass

6:26

as well Yeah, I wasn't expecting to be

6:28

so attached like I know we didn't get a

6:30

ton of time with Eka I really like

6:32

that kid But they did a good job of

6:34

setting him up and you did a great

6:36

job too picking up that line of you know

6:39

We're not all that different whatever the line

6:41

was It was a great foreshadowing, I thought, because

6:43

I didn't pick that up at all. I

6:45

was curious what that line meant. There was great

6:47

subtext to that. I love when movies can

6:49

do that, and then you see the ramifications later

6:51

on in the film. It's kind of like

6:53

planting a seed into the ground, and then it

6:55

blossoms into a beautiful flower. And I thought

6:57

that says that they hope they have different endings,

7:00

and they do. They did. Literally.

7:02

It was literally foreshadowed in that moment.

7:04

So, yeah, I definitely got

7:06

more. I'd like to say, but how

7:08

are you feeling after watching that? It's

7:11

an interesting thing. This is not my

7:13

genre my typical genre This isn't usually like

7:15

I'm just watching movie at home. This

7:17

isn't the kind of thing that I usually

7:19

would put on which is my I

7:22

love so many things about being a reject

7:24

but maybe the number one after all

7:26

the people that work here maybe the number

7:28

one thing I love is that it's

7:30

introduced me to movies that I don't think

7:32

I ever would have watched otherwise and

7:34

Boy oh boy am I missing out

7:37

by not watching stuff like this, you

7:39

know because the

7:41

talent of Gareth

7:43

Evans to write,

7:45

direct, edit, and

7:47

stunt choreography and choreograph

7:49

with, obviously, with assistants. But

7:51

to do all of

7:54

that, to watch somebody really bring

7:56

their baby to life, you can feel

7:58

that in here. Between

8:01

the mud scene and the

8:03

kitchen scene, it's so

8:05

inventive. It's so creative. It's

8:07

so inspiring. To see what it's

8:09

like watching a dance. It's

8:11

watching. It's watching. I love theater

8:13

It's like watching theater, especially

8:16

because he does these long cuts

8:18

on these long takes where

8:20

Everybody has to be in the

8:22

perfect place moving at the

8:24

same time understanding the position of

8:26

the camera understanding their footing

8:29

understanding their Opponent or their partner,

8:31

you know, and I'm a

8:33

theater nerd. So watching this is

8:35

like it is truly incredible And

8:38

then the characters and then the story.

8:40

So it's not just the fight sequences.

8:43

I really, really liked Raid a lot. I

8:45

don't actually know in this moment because it's

8:47

been so long, which I preferred.

8:49

They feel like very different movies. One

8:51

was very isolated. One is so out

8:53

there. But I do

8:55

think that what this movie did an

8:57

unbelievable job with is the complete opposite

9:00

of what the first one did an

9:02

unbelievable job with, which was this one

9:04

just was like, this is your one

9:06

person that you really give a crap

9:08

about. And we're gonna send him out

9:10

all over the place. And the other

9:12

one was like, as we go along,

9:14

there's more people we care about and

9:16

every room is something different. So just

9:18

a crazy, crazy unbelievable job, not

9:20

even to mention the score, which I know

9:23

that we have more to say about. For sure.

9:25

And that's a great point you make too

9:27

about like this one lead character that we follow

9:29

throughout that, again, we were so emotionally attached

9:31

to, but also too, I think

9:33

it's, Something I love especially in action films.

9:35

I think I always go back like

9:37

the crescendo for me if I assume you've

9:39

seen diehard or no. Yeah, but again,

9:41

so long ago. Anyway, these are all movies

9:43

that I watched like when my brother

9:45

had the mom when I was young, but

9:47

yes, I have seen diehard. Just the

9:49

point I'm trying to make is I love

9:51

like the first diehard. For instance, I

9:53

think why that movie is so damn good.

9:55

Like John McClain, a character we all

9:57

love obviously, but he's put into an impossible

9:59

situation, even though he's such a badass.

10:01

By the time like the movie's over, you're

10:03

like, okay, this was so satisfying. But

10:06

at the same time, when you're in it,

10:08

the stakes are always high. You're like,

10:10

how is he supposed to get out of

10:12

the situation? And every time he does,

10:14

again, it's done in such a satisfying way

10:16

that. You just feel so endeared to

10:18

the character and like I gotta watch that

10:20

movie. Oh, that'd be a great one

10:22

for you. Yeah, I don't remember anything. Yeah,

10:24

that'd be a great. for Nakatomi Plaza.

10:26

Oh, yeah. No, you're good. You were so

10:28

good to rewatch that. Because I drive

10:30

by it all the time. Oh, was it

10:32

Twain Century Fox or used to be

10:34

Twain Century Fox? But yeah, just in general,

10:36

I love characters because they feel so

10:38

vulnerable. Like that anything can happen. Even if

10:40

we know like, oh, they're going to

10:42

probably survive it in the moment. you always

10:44

feel scared for them and that grounds

10:46

didn't even know if he was going to

10:48

survive. I really either within the

10:50

moment, like, especially when like that guy in

10:52

the kitchen scene with the two knives, I really

10:54

didn't know. Yeah, like all the because he

10:56

might have done so much damage that we he

10:58

ends up going upstairs and then he dies

11:00

anyway. Like I was like, I don't know that

11:02

he's going to make it out. Yeah, true.

11:04

Again, it just made him it made the film

11:06

feel more grounded and also it just made

11:08

the character feel more vulnerable. So I don't even

11:10

know that he didn't die at the end

11:13

when he's having that exchange and he says I'm

11:15

done Well for all we know they pop

11:17

pop pop I don't think that's what happened, but

11:19

just saying like we didn't even see him

11:21

get home to his wife and kid That's kind

11:23

of why I made that That line when

11:25

I said I was like I wanted to see

11:27

him just because I First of all because

11:29

he's been through so much hell up to this

11:31

point And I wanted to see after pink

11:33

undercover for two years and everything else he's had

11:35

to go through But also too, like it

11:37

kind of felt ambiguous, but I'm just again, in

11:39

my own mind, I'm assuming they'll let him

11:41

go cause he did all their dirty work. Like

11:43

they were there to take out that gang

11:45

and he took them all out pretty much. So

11:47

I'm assuming they let him go and he

11:49

got to go to his family, but he also

11:51

can identify them. There were, there are a

11:53

lot of loose ends in this. You know, we

11:55

don't know what ends up happening with the

11:57

cops who claim that his family was safe, but

11:59

we don't really know there. We don't know

12:01

what ends up happening with the, the. family of

12:03

people that are there at the end that

12:05

show up to get everybody that he's exchanging words

12:08

with that's on mute when we're just and

12:10

all we hear from him saying is I'm done.

12:12

I don't want this. We

12:14

don't know what happened with his wife and

12:16

kid. And we don't actually

12:18

know that his injuries aren't life -ending. So

12:20

if they're fatal, there is a lot that's

12:22

ambiguous, which was the reason I was

12:24

like, is there a rate three? That's a

12:26

good point you make. Yeah, I'm really

12:28

fearful of that too. Again, that's why I'm

12:30

just hoping in my own mind he

12:32

ended up with his happily ever after. But

12:34

do think that it's kind of cool

12:36

that ambiguous because that because I'm just going

12:39

to choose to believe what ends up

12:41

happening is that exchange goes, I'm done. They

12:43

say, well, thank you for doing all

12:45

this. Have a good one. He leaves, goes

12:47

to the hospital. Like you said, hospital

12:49

calls his wife. He

12:51

has these injuries that he got from

12:53

as he claims maybe a car accident

12:55

or whatever. The car accident

12:57

stabbed him many times. him many times and shot him

12:59

in the abdomen. And there's no car anywhere to show for

13:01

it. And then she comes

13:04

and then unlike the long hair guy

13:06

who's the second movie he did as

13:08

a different character who never got to

13:10

end up seeing his kid again, We

13:12

have the opposite ending here where he

13:14

gets to, now he's completely done and

13:16

he gets to be a family man

13:18

and live his life. And the cop

13:20

says to him, you did your duty.

13:22

Good job. Good enough. And that's what

13:24

I'm going to choose. Believe happens in

13:26

his life. Yeah, there were definitely parallels

13:28

there because one obviously, like you said,

13:30

he wanted to get back to his

13:32

child, could never do it. And then

13:34

I'm hoping our guy. did get to,

13:36

but I definitely did feel the similarities

13:38

and the parallels in that. I'm so

13:40

glad we got that actor back out

13:42

again. Of course he's playing a totally

13:44

different character, but I recognize him from

13:46

other things though. I'm the only other

13:48

thing I've seen him in was force

13:50

awakens, which I have not watched in

13:52

such a long time, but I do

13:54

remember, you know, when I feel

13:56

like a TV show is what I'm thinking of,

13:58

but I'm not sure you're probably right because

14:00

of the 120 TV shows you watch a year.

14:02

So you probably recognize him in something, but

14:04

yeah, no. trying to

14:06

think what else just again the

14:09

score all the cinematography i

14:11

mean this we could kind of

14:13

gush about a lot of

14:15

things so his name is yayaan

14:17

uh rohean and let's see

14:19

um like you said star wars

14:21

raid john wick three He

14:23

was in John Wick 3. It's

14:25

been a while since I saw the third. I'd have

14:28

to, I just need to re -watch the whole four. Oh,

14:30

he was in Boy Kills World. That's what I was thinking

14:32

of. It's not a show. It's a movie that I

14:34

watched that. If you haven't seen that, it was really interesting.

14:36

Never seen. Came out in 2023.

14:39

He was in that. Oh, he's been

14:41

in a ton of things. Gonna say

14:43

he gets around. Yeah. I

14:45

mean, when you can fight like that,

14:47

he's really, really incredible. Gonna say,

14:49

yeah, you're gonna get more. Wick 3,

14:52

he was... number two in

14:54

which movie in John Wick 3. Yeah, does

14:56

that mean anything? No,

14:58

okay Yep, Star Wars. So

15:00

he he was in That the

15:03

other guys too, especially when

15:05

they started speaking English. I was

15:07

like, oh, so are they

15:09

in any American films? Like I'm

15:11

curious about pretty boy. Yeah,

15:13

he spoke pretty good English there.

15:16

Yeah, he I mean perfectly

15:18

pretty boy It seems like he

15:20

has only been in... Oh

15:22

no, those are upcoming 27

15:25

movies. Only 27. God, if

15:27

only we could be so lucky.

15:29

nothing that I know of though. Spring's here,

15:32

baseball's in full swing, and if you're

15:34

looking to make watching games even more exciting,

15:36

check out Prize Ficks, our go -to in

15:38

the daily fantasy sports category. The reason

15:40

this household is so under Prize Ficks is

15:42

because it's super easy to use. You

15:44

just pick more or less on player staff

15:46

projections, like strikeouts, home runs, or hits,

15:48

baseball terms, for your chance to win up

15:50

to 1 ,000 times your entry. And unlike

15:52

a lot of other apps, you can

15:54

mix players from baseball and other sports, like

15:57

basketball, hockey, and even e -sports. My wife

15:59

16:36

first five dollar lineup price picks run

16:38

your game people You were saying we were

16:40

talking about how did I made the

16:42

comment? How did they film these action sequences?

16:44

yeah, like I just did an act

16:47

Let me tell you about that. I can't

16:49

tell you anything about this obviously except

16:51

to say that I just filmed my first

16:53

action movie which You guys I can't

16:55

wait for you guys check me out and

16:57

starring Kate Beckinsale. I want to react

16:59

to I think is an unbelievable action star

17:01

And I was lucky enough to be

17:03

on set for several different action sequences Which

17:05

was wild and like kind of a

17:07

dream come through true. So During my downtime,

17:10

I would sit it my down like

17:12

what after I'd be down with hair and

17:14

makeup I would pick the brains of

17:16

the stunt people and watch them kind of

17:18

rehearse and I started asking them about

17:20

their process because I don't know, do have

17:22

any friends that are stunt people? Yeah,

17:24

so just really quick and I want to get

17:26

back to your story. When I was living about

17:29

10, 15 years ago at the house I was

17:31

living at, the person across my street, his

17:33

name is Steve Picherni. really big stunt guy

17:35

in the business. So I spoke to him

17:37

a lot about stunt work. He did some

17:39

crazy stunts in the business and diehard. He

17:41

did some major stunts and then other, lots

17:44

of other films. You probably know significantly more

17:46

than I do. I never really have spent

17:48

time talking to stunt people before. And so

17:50

I was like, and there was crazy stunt

17:52

sequences in the movie that I'm doing. It's

17:55

from the director who did the Netflix series

17:57

one shot. If you guys saw those movies,

17:59

one shot and one more shot, they're unbelievable

18:01

action movies. But anyway, this is a full

18:03

blown action movie and I can't give anything

18:05

away about what the action sequences were, but

18:07

there was a lot of different moving parts

18:09

to them. And so the second

18:11

they got in, I'm watching them do everything

18:13

and it's like perfect. And I was

18:15

like, wait, what? Like, how are you? And

18:17

they're like, oh, we have been for

18:19

three months. Already like they already

18:21

had to be meeting prepping choreographing, you

18:23

know, like so that the timing of everything

18:25

was perfect They there was so much

18:27

that went into it. It's not just like

18:29

showing up and then figuring it out

18:31

kind of like, you know A lot of

18:33

times what actors do is we show

18:35

up and we rehearse and figure it out

18:37

and then you film they there's it's

18:39

like It's like putting on a play where

18:41

there's rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal and a lot

18:43

of them have worked and I'm sure in

18:45

this a lot of them have worked

18:47

together for a

18:50

bajillion different movies. So they already have

18:52

kind of a rapport, which I guarantee

18:54

if we look up the raid to

18:56

stunt people, I guarantee they are a

18:58

lot of them already have a report

19:00

together and know what each other can

19:02

do and like how to assist each

19:04

other. So it was so cool to

19:06

watch everything that they did and all

19:08

of the preparation that goes into it.

19:10

I mean, they have to put in

19:12

almost more hours than almost anybody on

19:14

set. Yeah. No, you could tell like

19:17

to watching this, Mike. There's so much

19:19

hard work that goes into this like

19:21

and that's why I have such a

19:23

deep appreciation for stunt people in which

19:25

I'm so grateful and I've been begging

19:27

for years for the academy to do

19:29

stunt. This

19:31

after Tom Cruise has done all

19:33

the mission possible after Jackie Chan is

19:35

right and everybody who's deserved it

19:37

for the last 50 years I'm hoping

19:39

some of them ever yeah for

19:41

sure and I'm hoping some of those

19:43

people like Jackie Chan like Tom

19:45

Cruise get an honorary I'm hoping they

19:47

will I mean they do honorary

19:49

awards at the at the Academy also

19:51

to Roxy I will say this

19:53

like Gareth Evans in these two movies

19:55

his direction Absolutely

19:58

pristine, phenomenally, such an incredible director. What

20:00

else has he done? I don't

20:02

know, but as you're looking that up, I

20:04

will say this. I wouldn't, I

20:06

don't think I would want him doing a

20:08

studio film just because he's not going

20:10

to have that same creative control. And

20:13

then that would be my greatest fear if he,

20:15

like, of course a John Wick movie, you wouldn't want

20:17

to see him do? I mean, obviously I would

20:19

love to see him do it. I'm just, my biggest

20:21

fear would be the studio saying, you can't do

20:23

this, you can't. Like, I would want him doing his

20:25

thing, you know what I mean? That would be

20:27

my, of course I would want him to do an

20:29

American film, of course, but I'd be my greatest

20:31

fear. Okay. So he did his first movie is a

20:33

movie called footsteps, um, Maranto,

20:35

the raid VHS

20:37

to the raid to

20:40

previs action. Apostle

20:42

and gangs of London and he's got

20:44

two movies coming up and one of

20:46

them is Havoc I did not realize

20:49

he was doing Havoc. That's the Tom

20:51

Hardy movie that's coming out Makes sense

20:53

why we're doing this right now. Okay

20:55

algorithm So I guess that's an American

20:57

film I assume if Tom Hardy's yeah,

20:59

it's a new Netflix movie Havoc I

21:01

believe that Coy and Greg are covering

21:04

that here. All right. Well We'll see

21:06

how it comes out. I now can't

21:08

wait to watch that movie. I love

21:10

Tom Hardy. I've heard nothing but amazing

21:12

things about him and Gareth Evans is

21:14

now that's a great combo. I think

21:17

to get putting together. Yeah, I'm also

21:19

curious because I believe Gareth Evans is

21:21

a I'm an American guy. I'm curious

21:23

does he speak? It

21:26

is this was Indonesian. I

21:28

believe so. Yeah, I'm curious the

21:30

short. Okay. So this says

21:33

that He directed a short that

21:35

was in the Japanese language. I

21:40

wonder whether he wrote

21:42

everything in English and then

21:44

they translated it or

21:46

what. be curious to know. What are you

21:48

looking at? So I know you don't like to play

21:50

this game. I won't ask you the question. I'll just

21:52

read it out loud. I love fun facts. I just

21:54

don't like trivia. That's fun. Not going to give you

21:56

trivia. I'm just going to read it. want me to give

21:58

you trivia? No, no, no. Well, I mean, we can

22:00

do trivia in a second. know you love trivia. You

22:02

can look up the trivia, but I'm just going to

22:04

read this out instead of asking you. OK, tell me.

22:06

So the film on rotten tomatoes got The

22:08

film on Rotten Tomatoes got an

22:10

83 % from the critics and it

22:13

also got an 87 % from the

22:15

fans. I'll tell you that I don't

22:17

think that's high enough. I think

22:19

it should have gotten higher too. 83

22:21

% from the critics. So you're telling

22:23

me 17 % of critics gave this

22:25

a Rotten? They said

22:28

they didn't. They gave it a

22:30

negative review. That's crazy. Right.

22:32

And then this upsets me a

22:34

great deal. This film worldwide

22:36

made 6 million $566

22:40

,916 worldwide. Was it in theaters?

22:42

Did it get a theatrical

22:44

release? think it did. What's the

22:46

budget of it? I can

22:48

look that up right now. I mean, it

22:50

looked like a major budget movie. I'm

22:53

going to look at both budgets, but let's

22:55

start with the first on the raid to

22:57

budget, uh, $4 .5 million. That's crazy. This

22:59

looked like a 20, this looked like a

23:01

$40 million movie. I mean, it really did.

23:03

It really did. It reminded me of the

23:05

first Terminator film where that movie had like

23:07

a $6 million budget and it felt like

23:09

such a like a $20, $30 million budget.

23:11

That's crazy. That is absolutely crazy. Okay. So

23:13

do you want me to give you, do

23:15

you want me to find some trivia for

23:17

you? Yeah, that'd be great. All right. Let's

23:20

do it. And the first raid, by the

23:22

way, 1 .1 million budget. That's crazy, too. That's

23:24

crazy, too. But that one kind of checks

23:26

out a little bit more. Right, one location.

23:28

Yeah. And also, like, less characters because of

23:30

that. This had... So many. So many. Okay,

23:33

so, oh, I'm on Gareth Evans trivia. That's

23:35

not what we wanted to do. We wanted to

23:37

do raid two. If you guys are like

23:39

my friend Andrew and you love trivia, then this

23:41

will be a fun part for you. If

23:43

you're like me, just take it instead of trivia.

23:45

Just think of it more as just fun

23:47

things for you to learn. Okay,

23:49

all the punches. and

23:51

kicks to the body of the actors

23:54

were real. Eco,

23:56

Ues, and the other fighters had to learn how

23:58

to control their speed and strength so it

24:00

would look real on camera. That's so difficult, dude.

24:03

Final Epic Kitchen scene took Okay, how

24:05

many days I'm gonna ask you

24:07

to you said days I'm gonna go

24:09

contains 195 shots and is a

24:12

favorite of the director Yeah, I knew

24:14

after watching what it took for

24:16

one stunt on the movie I was

24:18

doing I was like, oh my

24:20

god I did not realize that scene

24:22

was so long. I'm gonna go

24:24

I'm gonna go extra long on this

24:26

one. I'm gonna go three weeks It

24:28

was that's crazy. I don't know if

24:31

the shoot was three weeks. It was eight

24:33

days. Okay. So it's eight days for

24:35

the one scene. That's crazy. Think about the

24:37

continuity and stuff. Yeah. Wow. That's still

24:39

eight days is a lot. Okay. How long

24:41

do you think it took Garrett Evans

24:43

to design that fight? The

24:45

kitchen fight. The final

24:48

fight. So I'm guessing a

24:50

fight. Oh, three months,

24:52

six weeks. You're overshooting takes

24:55

Place two hours after the first film

24:57

ended and then two years later

24:59

So two hours after so the first

25:01

scene where they grabbed the brother

25:03

was a few hours later. Wow. Yeah

25:05

Okay Let's see when they shot

25:07

the fight scenes shooting When they shot

25:09

when they shot the fight scene

25:11

shooting would have to halt mid -scene

25:14

for about 20 30 minutes each time

25:16

For the makeup artist to create

25:18

damage on their faces, etc for continuity

25:20

purposes. I can only imagine Yeah,

25:22

and I got to say too we

25:24

mentioned it while we were reacting to

25:27

it This the makeup department really in

25:29

the squibs. Yeah, I'm really nailed in

25:31

this the practical effects were incredible This

25:33

is the first Indonesian film to reach

25:35

the IMDb top 250 list. It's now

25:37

left the list, but it was the

25:39

first to reach it That's pretty cool,

25:41

but that's pretty cool. It's still incredible.

25:44

Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah, okay I

25:47

want to get to some of the spoiler ones.

25:49

Let me see if I can find any of them

25:51

on here. There are so many random facts on

25:54

here. I'm like still scrolling. The

25:56

word police has been seen

25:58

on one of the prison trucks

26:01

is Swahili for police. Interesting.

26:04

In all of Beho's scenes, he is only

26:06

shown to lose control of himself twice

26:08

at the beginning of the movie. when he

26:10

is talking to Andy and near the

26:12

end, when he's dining with Hugo, the commissioner,

26:14

Reza. It's interesting to note that

26:16

in both of these instances, after he

26:18

loses control of himself before quickly regaining it,

26:20

at least one major character is killed

26:23

by a shotgun shortly afterwards. In

26:25

the first instance, after he regains control and

26:27

says a few more words to Andy, one

26:29

of those men executes Andy with a pump

26:31

shotgun. In the second instance, a little while

26:33

after he picks up Maybe

26:35

it's Bejo, and I'm saying it

26:37

like it's in Spanish. I don't know.

26:39

Picks up his dropping walking cane

26:41

off the floor, resumes eating with Uko

26:43

and Reza after his brief outburst,

26:46

attempts to throw a shock onto Reza

26:48

to defend him against Rama when

26:50

he breaks in before it's instead caught

26:52

by Uko who proceeds to kill

26:54

both Reza and Bejo with it. That's

26:57

an interesting attention to detail because

26:59

again the first part felt so long

27:01

ago. I didn't remember that. What

27:03

do you think the body count is

27:05

in this? Oh, I mean, I've

27:07

been off so far and everything. I'm

27:09

gonna go 150. 327.

27:12

Wow, that wasn't even close. What

27:14

would you have guessed before you read that? Man,

27:17

I really don't know. Yeah,

27:19

because it was so many. That's why I was like...

27:22

I think I would have gone way lower. I think I

27:24

would have said like 50. Yeah. But

27:26

that makes sense. So it's

27:28

327. This is interesting.

27:30

I don't know that I picked up on this

27:32

throughout the entire movie. Rama does not

27:34

kill one person with a gun. Oh,

27:37

wow. Yeah, that's a good

27:39

point. Yeah, I definitely did

27:41

not. Because I think

27:44

in the first I can't remember,

27:46

but that's that's like another cool

27:48

point. I didn't even realize that.

27:50

Yeah. Obviously, I love

27:52

that. I love the John Wick movies.

27:54

I love the born movies. I

27:56

love I love like that love mission

27:58

possible But I do think there

28:01

is something about when you eliminate the

28:03

majority of guns when it's not

28:05

just all gunfights It is really cool

28:07

to watch people actually totally agree

28:09

with you on the episode aired on

28:11

September 25th 2016 of the Tonight

28:14

Show starring Jimmy Fallon And he guesses

28:16

on which actor said raid 2

28:18

is his favorite movie Tom

28:24

Cruise get it. You want

28:26

one more hint one more which

28:28

MCU actor? Oh

28:30

Robert Danny, Jr. Samuel L. Jackson.

28:32

Damn. I would have never guessed as

28:34

Samuel L. Jackson because I said

28:36

MCU. It's not what you think of

28:38

him as. Is

28:40

that why? No, I just

28:42

I just wouldn't have guessed for

28:44

Samuel L. Jackson, but that's cool.

28:47

Throughout filming, Gareth Evans edited shots

28:49

and sequence on his laptop. It's

28:52

just like. That's crazy damn

28:54

for the car chase scene roads

28:56

had to be cleared from 6

28:58

a .m. Until 6 p .m. What

29:00

they cleared the roads for 12

29:03

hours crazy preparation for the fight

29:05

scenes in raid 2 took 18

29:07

months excluding the completed choreography made

29:09

before raid 1 I believe me

29:11

too me too in the amount

29:13

of prep for this Julia Stell

29:15

has zero background in martial arts

29:17

and she had to learn still

29:19

at from basic For six

29:21

months before she started shooting for fight

29:24

scenes. I'm assuming the hand the hammer

29:26

girl I have to assume because she's

29:28

the only woman we saw fighting. Yeah,

29:30

that's wild There's a lot more on

29:32

IMDB if you guys want to go

29:34

on yeah, we would continue but we've

29:36

been here quite a bit Yeah, all

29:38

of that. This is a really great

29:40

one. I absolutely loved it. Yeah, couldn't

29:42

have loved it more seriously and Thank

29:44

you guys for allowing us to watch

29:46

this because you watched our raid one

29:48

review What else should

29:50

the jujax you next? Yeah, apologies also for

29:53

all my oh my god moments, but this

29:55

movie why I had well I know but

29:57

There's a time when you say something so

29:59

much. It becomes a little tedious rock. No,

30:01

I don't think so What do you think

30:03

was up with the star of David? I

30:06

don't know that's a good question because the

30:08

guy had one tattoo like the the main bed

30:10

or the guy with the glasses Yeah, and

30:12

then he had the it did look like the

30:14

star of David. So that's what it was.

30:16

So I'm not sure maybe just you wish and

30:18

he was just proud of his religion just

30:20

but I don't know Yeah, I don't know. I

30:22

just like what are you supposed to take

30:24

of that? Maybe nothing just was there the way

30:27

it is But let us know what you

30:29

want us to cover next we love hearing from

30:31

you guys and we appreciate you going on

30:33

this journey with us. We'll see you later rejects

30:39

Flev there was one person's room we would

30:41

want to raid it would be your

30:44

room buddy Think of all the things in

30:46

there so many things start listing things

30:48

that you would find in Flev that are

30:50

very specifically to Flev the things you

30:52

know about Flev Flev would have a pineapple

30:54

in his room He knows why he

30:56

knows why it would be hidden somewhere in

30:58

the back to love to a pineapple

31:00

does that's where I was going with that

31:02

It's the perfect dimensions. You just hollow

31:04

out the bottom, you know, you got a

31:06

handle on top. Yeah, I didn't think

31:08

about that. That's brilliant. Perfect. You should probably

31:10

upgrade and get some new pineapples. It's

31:12

been the same pineapple for the past couple

31:14

of years. Yeah, it's got to be.

31:17

I mean, I'm surprising if it's left, honestly,

31:19

it's a pretty impressive pineapple. Did you

31:21

know that if you eat pineapple, it

31:23

that would be going too far

31:25

for the shout out. There

31:28

are a lot of things that happen when you eat a

pineapple. Google it. And

31:33

then what else would we

31:35

find? We would find some

31:37

Marvel under -roos that he

31:39

wears. That's very good, John.

31:41

Like little pictures of, like,

31:43

Hulk, Captain America, and Thor.

31:45

And what else would you

31:47

find? I would also find

31:49

the, like, the sheet music

31:51

to the Romanian national anthem.

31:53

That's brilliant, man. Definitely. Because

31:55

he was a very patriotic guy. I

31:58

would also find a

32:00

big clock necklace because FLEV

32:02

is a flavor Flav

32:04

impersonator. Okay. Yeah. is not

32:06

something I knew about

32:08

him. What else would you

32:11

find? Every season of Psych

32:13

on Blu -ray. That lines up more

32:15

than the flavor Flav thing. It definitely

32:17

does. What else would you find? A

32:19

door in the

32:22

wall. And the

32:24

shout -out ends there. Perfect spot. You

32:26

want to find the right funny button

32:28

and that's the one right there. Cherry.

32:30

Smash the black.
