Rama Defeats The Machete Gang | The Raid: Redemption

The best part of this scene is Rama absolutely NOT wanting to fight a bunch of guys with machetes while unarmed and trying to run away first, it really humanizes him. He's a guy doing action hero stuff, not an action hero.

I like that before this fight starts, the main character doesn't feel badass or confident. You can see it in his eyes, the fear at what he's up against. He's got some ideas on how he can survive (love that move where he kicks the first guy's machete away after the disarm!) but there's a point in the fight where it becomes clear he's run out of ideas and now he's just trying to stay alive for the next half-second. I also liked that he did end up taking a hit or two, and even one from the machete that would have ended him if he wasn't wearing a stab vest. You really get the feeling that he barely survived this fight.

[@haidarnz2770]

Well its because his enemies know how to fight too so it bring out all of his moves and technique to outmatch them.

3:43 that gut punch was godlike

[@xyzen9673]

2:31 probably my fave scene

[@FireAngelChris]

One of the greatest fight scenes in movie history. This is truly a masterpiece.

[@SliderFury1]

I just love how every single kick, punch, and slam in this movie is like a mini explosion. So satisfying.

[@foxskyful]

What a hidden gem Raid 1 was. Its not only about action and choreography, the camera movement and shots were also superb

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

As much a masterpiece as Raid 1 is, Raid 2 is even better

[@GMM-j92]

both are best action films ever

[@mujiha]

Love how main character’s first instinct is to get the hell out of there. He is an action hero but that little details makes it feel more realistic which makes the scene more relatable and therefore interesting to the viewer

[@srinivasamoorthy1]

@1.22: The expression in Uwais' face tells everything...one last frantic effort to open the door at the end of the alleyway and then the sheer determination to fight the ungodly goons. Uwais looks handsome, in addition to being a highly skilled martial artist!

[@jrewing1512]

This is truly one of the best martial arts movies.

[@robertbrown4016]

Absolutely......u cant get more gritty than this blood guts and pure will the way battles and wars are supposed to be

[@TheOfficialLouRawz]

The Raid 2: AM I A JOKE TO YOU!!!

[@dakodablack7312]

Bro I watched daredevil and punisher scenes after this and I didn’t really enjoy it anymore

[@WoBuXihuan]

Iko Uwais🧡

[@rhyswallace3590]

Understatement

[@Lumerlume11]

Love how Gareth brings humanity to even random fodder characters as Rama clearly threw that dudes brother or something over the ledge and he was heartbroken.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

Yeah, I appreciated that too.

[@richwilliams7787]

One of the greatest fight scenes ever put on film.

[@badendhappy2903]

Actors: So what's my script? Director: Just scream "AHHHHH!" the whole scene.

[@CadeCunningham2]

Lol

[@spoofer9113]

The endurance of Rama in this movie was God Level.

[@ahdandimas6577]

yeah, even if you're high on adrenaline, no way you'd last too long without proper trainibg

[@MuhammadRafliAnanda6-162]

​@@ahdandimas6577 im pretty sure think he got good training

[@Vishalscg]

All these while inwas thinking the Chinese are the masters in action choreography. But after seeing this movie. It proved me wrong. Hats off to the Indonesian choreographers. All those who are involved innmaking this movie. The Raid 🙏

[@bigg231]

I must say this is the realest scene I've ever seen. When you meet someone with machete, the first thing you need to do is run

[@robbyatmaja6896]

2:44 damn! That's brutal

[@rendragiherditiarma4154]

Even the MC has a "shit, what the f**k have I done" look on his face.

[@B..B.]

This movie is underrated. This is the best martial arts fight movie ever. I remember the day my friend told me to watch.

[@thenewmase]

2:46 this shot almost makes me think Rama wasn't expecting to kill that guy when he did that.

[@IRedpunk]

I think it’s to show that he realizes the dude was a kid. Bastard kid but still it enhances how gruesome it is

[@Usos5687]

If he not kill him, he himself will be killed. Good choice

[@Mr008Moon]

His eyes tell that

[@Mahladhan]

The kid a threat Break rama kevlar

[@abdulqudz89]

the raid is one of my favourite films.

Bro me, my mates and parents dropped our food while that happened.

[@Urbanlondonvibes007]

Just one word "masterpiece"❤️

[@gerenal4607]

No praplom

[@bals1036]

One thing i love about Gareth Evans directing is that, he makes the 1 vs more guys fights interesting and logical, in other action movie fighting scene, u can see the other waiting in the background, meanwhile in this movie u can see that the other are hurting and quickly fights again and the protagonist immobilize them 1 by 1

[@Y0UTUBEPLAY]

3:02 this guy undoubtly stepped up on his friend's dead body 😅

[@Iceboirblx]

He's still alive I think

[@Mingmassage]

yeah, dang right. I remembered it in the cinema. So body weight and mechanics.

[@stephenlyan]

Those wild swings are what made this film so much more better than most films.

[@ewanbeaulieu8044]

The gruesome scenes in the raid are so insane it makes me praise the production crew for how realistic and crazy thw stunts are

[@Hiddenman15]

The door frame kill at 2:44 elicits an auditory reaction from me every-time i watch it. There has yet to be a film made besides its sequel in to match this raw intensity for me

[@jonathansibay2431]

Uwais is better than any famous actors! The guy deserves more attention! Props to all the people who were involved in this masterpiece!🔥

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

1:23 A good moment to say "can't we just talk this over?"

[@abelmk88]

😂😂

[@Bl2EAKIN]

12 years later and this is still probably the best action movie ever produced.

[@Anya-up4pv]

I like how just about everyone in the movie was an awesome fighter. Certainly one of the best action movies I've watched

[@pankajthapa7199]

This is not just a fight scene.. This is pure Art

[@kefkabal9614]

Everyone of his attackers knew how to fight and were very tenacious. No regular citizen would've survived an encounter with this group.

[@xvddbbfgbb]

Of course. because on script it is the headquarters of street criminals

[@pizmos.]

This is the greatest action movie ever made no CGI bs. Just pure action

[@ouroboros6125]

When you want your tenant to pay the rent, but they spent it all on martial art lessons.

[@ElBandito]

1:28 Surprised noone is commenting on the close up shot of the bloody machete. That machete is the one which cut Rama's cheek--it's his blood on that blade. A grim reminder to our main character of what might happen to him should he lose.

[@reiterhilfe3526]

We don't know anything about the machete gang but we can already tell their relationship with the short time we see them, like the white shirt guy and the orange shirt guy seems to have some close relationship when we saw how shaken he was seeing the white shirt guy's dead body (0:50) and how much he wants to kill Rama after that (1:13)

[@z_monty]

Great detail

[@Assassino275]

I'm pretty sure that guy was his brother, it's untold storytelling I love when movies don't treat watchers like they're dumb

[@JK-oy8kq]

Thank god for Gareth Evans and Iko Uwais for giving us these scenes, we are witnessing the best action movie director and actor of our generation

[@tombonususa4040]

Was lucky enough to catch this in the theater. One of the best action flicks of all time!

[@egofamilytree]

After he killed the boy in orange he had pushed past his threshold in terms of humanizing the situation and just decided it was him or them, he was still passive and just defending himself before all that

[@kushagarsharma4783]

Rama was like "guess I will just have to kill them all"

[@infinity8288]

I came to see this scene after because the Title had Rama in it

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

@No sleep for u Dreads was lucky to still be alive, considering that he was one of the most aggressive ones.

[@Nockgun]

@-el_banditoeither this guy would die from a fatal concussion or being executed potentially

[@GMM-j92]

Some people here complaining about all the screaming but they forget that these guys are crazy drug dealers and are full of adrenaline because of that, some of them lost their brothers too because rama killee them in previous fights, so how are they supposed not to be angry and screaming around.

[@Ratiocinativefun]

I’ve watched this fight scene so many times~!! Literally the sickest, most visceral action fight sequence I have ever scene!!! Masterful stunt choreography!!

[@chrisguerrero102]

That combo at 4:16 is so slick. I love this movie.

[@dark_lord98]

The best hand to hand fight scenes of all time. No other movies come close to this.

[@lollipopwaraxe6032]

I just watched 1 and 2 in one sitting and I’m just completely blown away. These are the best action movies I have ever seen
