Fremen Vs Rabban Fight Scene | DUNE: PART TWO (2024) Movie CLIP HD

[@SaladSentinel]

Dave Bautista played Rabban perfectly. Definitely the "muscle-minded tank brain" his uncle declared he was. Rabban has no sense of tactics, let alone strategy.

[@Nickname-ef9tv]

I wonder wether the Fremen (except for one overzealous fighter) intentionally let him get away because he was such a bad commander. They picked off seemingly every vehicle except his one, despite it being easily recognizeable.

[@myeongdong]

They did fire on Rabbans ornithopter but it banked left to evade the strike. You can see the missle exhaust at that moment.

[@moonlight39echo]

A fun thing I thought about with their harvesters, it rolls on treds but has legs that seem to be useless. Why give a tank the ability to walk? Walk....without rhythm...the worm in the first movie devoured the harveser whole, that machine had only treds. The worm may always come but those false legs probably cause small secondary vibration waves that confuse the worms. They will come, but much much later.

1:37 - The glance of the gunner says "come on man, you´re taking too much time, we are going to die if you take that long". Truly speaks volumes of the Harkonnen ruling.

It’s little details like these that make Dune 2 great. I also like how the Harkonnen tracker frantically looks around for the fremen before he gets his neck snapped

[@woodysmith2681]

You can see that nearly dying there broke him. More than subsequent events, being outdone by a bunch of "rats", nearly dying to a woman and only surviving with help from another. Rabban was a bully up against someone not afraid of him/his uncle, and Bautista played him perfectly.

[@Synthonym]

It was a nice touch that Rabban's 'weapon' of choice was a whip. A whip is a tool of cruelty, not something you'd ever take into battle. It's meant for when the person you're using it on doesn't have anything to fight back with. It's a wonderful visual representation of how Rabban folds the moment anyone actually stands up to him

[@beelance8057]

Why did he snap dudes neck though? That was so fuken random

That Fremen at the end made Rabban realize he’s no longer fighting random groups of survivors, but a unified force of religious zealots.

[@deker0954]

[@canisdirus6045]

Also I think it disturbed him that was a woman. It's not mentioned much in the movies but the fact that Fremen women were just as deadly and fanatical as the men (meaning they have twice the amount of soldiers available) seriously bothered the Harkonnen and Sardaukar. For a brutal warlord like Rabban to nearly be killed by a woman really took his ego down a notch. In the book when Sietch Tabr is destroyed they mention that even old women and children were capable of killing at least one or two soldiers, even Sardaukar sometimes.

And this is why Fremen are so terrifying. Toughened by condition worst than any planet, and they're all VERY unafraid to die. That last scene showed it perfectly: that one female Fremen jumped into the Ornithopter with no plan of returning back alive. She just wants to kill one more Harkonnen in Muadib's name. Religious zeal, that's one factor. Second factor, they have learned to think VERY long term. They want to turn Arrakis to a green world... it'll take thousands and thousands of years, but they don't care. They've all become used to the idea that they will not live to see the fruits of their labor, but as long as they put in one little effort today, the know that future generation will reap the benefit. In her mindset, the mindset of a Fedaykin, one less harkonnen die today means one less Harkonnen that will hurt her comrades in the future. If she dies, she dies - besides, by time or by blade, she will die eventually. But she will die content knowing others will fight on in her stead in the future because of what she did today. That sense of warrior's community. That's how terrifying Fremen is, and that was just the woman, and that was just ONE fremen. Imagine a million, tens of millions of them fighting with that kind of mindset.

Joining the military was an scape from an oppresive hellish life. They are not even named 'soldiers'; but 'mercenaries'; as they openlly figth for their masters just for the coin, not for loyallty. Of course, they receive millitary training, and I asume the Harkonnen drill seargeants won't go easy on them... but there is some mentions in the books of Harkonnen officers indulging into drug abuse, corruption and other activitties that would heavilly compromise their possition... so unsufficient training or sending unfit soldiers to the front is not out of the realms of possibillity. One of the reason duke Leto was so feared and led to his assassination, was because he had managed to build an extremelly loyal and battle efficient army; in comparison, Harkonnen (having mutch moore resources and numbers) where an undisciplinated horde of bullies and psycopaths; fit to inspire fear in civillian poppulation... but uneficcient in a real battle against propper soldiers. ...so, I would not discard that in this point of the war; having lost lots of men and needing to replace them with haste and cheap; this soldiers are green as grass recruits with very little airborne training

His response is below: "there are no real world writing systems used in the film at any point, an artistic decision I really love. The only flub I've found so far is in the second movie when they're in the ornithopter and say "delta, delta, delta" when giving instructions.

They did show a harkonnen win when they bombed the fremens home And also they won throughout the entire first movie

[@tacitus6384]

@@Spiderfisch Bombed the Fremens home? Attacking an empty rock is a win? Come'on bro lol.

[@_ArsNova]

It's being accurate to the books largely. Harkonnens were always largely incompetent when it came to actively engaging the Fremen. It was hard enough for them on Arrakis before Paul Atreides was there to lead them.

[@tacitus6384]

@@_ArsNova Sure, I'm not disputing that, it is accurate to the book. If anything the movie buffed them by giving them a 'win' by attacking an unattended mountain. I just think it's a bit tensionless. However, that is the point of the theme of the book, that this serves the narrative of religious fanaticism etc.

This is not a Dune problem per say, but in the year 2024 I would really hope that at least one movie shows armour acting like armour. In every movie I’ve seen blades penetrate armour like it’s paper OR the fighters are so skilled that they make perfect strikes for the uncovered areas without even accidentally striking the armour at some point. I just want a movie where armour gets slashed and actually protects the wearer smh

[@iamsethhasting8911]

The Punisher is the only show I can think of which does this. I don't know if its entierly consistent, but there are a few scenes in it where armor stopps bullets and non-vital attacks have to be taken to harm an opponent.

The common people couldn't travel to other planets. The Guild controlled all intergalactic travel as they owned highliner ships and had the guild navigator pilots. Otherwise you were stuck on your planet.

[@4lphab3t4]

The Harkonnens command fanatical loyalty through fear and cruelty. Think North Korea. That and, as another has said already, space travel is severely limited. Only the Spacing Guild can fly through the universe (it's the whole reason Spice is so important, since they need it to find safe paths), and Guild price rates are extortionate. Some do manage to leave though. In fact, though he was a slave rather than a soldier, Gurney Halleck was born on Geidi Prime (the Harkonnen homeworld). He went on to become one of the finest Atreides warriors, one of the finest in the entire Imperium.

[@becausebuzzbomb6133]

Yeah, his death was a scene where the viewer can truly feel that some things just had to be rushed. He was dealt with too quickly. Maybe the intention, other than saving time, was to show just how good Gurney is, but Rabban definitely came out as weak and incompetent in the movie, getting his ass handed over to him pretty much in everything he did.

[@CrabSpu]

@@becausebuzzbomb6133 Rabban is weak and incompetent on the greater scale of things in the first place. The average Atreides soldier would rekt him, even.

he is deliberately incompetent though the Baron puts Rabban back in control of Arrakis, then deliberately undermines him so that Feyd will take his place and be seen as a "hero"

[@enby_kensei]

I will forever love and appreciate how Denis Villeneuve used the action to help tell the story. I hadn't read the books before watching these movies, and I never understood why House Atreides considered the Fremen to be such an asset. Sure, Duncan said that "they fight like demons" but they still couldn't match up to the Sardaukar and struggled against House Harkonnen. But we got to see their full power on display in Part 2. With adequate time to plan, they're the perfect guerilla assassin fighting force. There's a full planet of them, and their leader can see the future and knows his enemies like the back of his hand. To anyone who hasn't read the book, it suddenly becomes clear how they were able to take over the known Universe in a matter of years.

I love how in the beginning of the film the Harkonnen are highly confident in their hunt for the Fremen "rats." At this point in the film, they are terrified as they head into what they perceive will be a slaughter. You can also clearly see the utter dread in Rabban's face as he is desperate for any type of victory over the Fremen to appease his uncle who has so clearly showed his displeasure for his management of spice production.
