Welcome to our first breakdown from The Raid series! If you are a martial arts fan and you still haven't seen this film, make sure to watch both The Raid: Redemption (2011) and The Raid 2: Berandal (2014) right after you share, comment and like this video lol (Honestly, it really helps us!). With that being said, I hope you enjoyed this breakdown and as always, let us know which fight scene you want to see us breakdown next! Do you prefer The Raid 1 or The Raid 2?
i love the simplicity of the raid 1 and the fun video game-y set piece for the raid 2 honestly can't decide which one is "better". i'm just glad gareth didn't force himself to make the 3rd movie just because it's famous
I watched an interview with Julie, and she mentioned that during pre-filming, she had to feel comfortable with the hammer and considered them as her hand extensions. To do that, whenever she went for jogging, she brought her hammers along. It added to her weight while jogging plus made her used to with the hammers...
I like the take that she chose hammers as weapons because of the physical feedback to compensate for her deafness. I always had the impression, that she and the Baseball Bat Man are really close to each other and their non-traditional weapons indicated to me, that they don't have a traditional education and learned by surviving from a young age with weapons they more or less just found. The audio commentary confirms this. I love how Gareth Evans communicates such minor details without having his characters just blurting them out and how he gives some depth even to his evil minions. Baseball Bat Mans reaction to the death of his sister humanises her. She becomes a person who has loved, who was loved and who didn't want to die. This is what sets Evans violence apart from most other action movies. The action is extremely brutal and exciting, but the violence isn't glorified. When Rama killed the assassin in the end, he isn't shown in a victorious hero pose, he's just exhausted, staring into the distance, horrified by the violence, he inflicted. Evans stories are about people who try to escape from violence, but the only mean they ever had, is violence. So his movies - and also his TV show Gangs of London - become survival horror, where the only way out is further in, hoping to stay alive long enough to see the light.
@@ekogunawan3408 I felt that too especially in the way they fight and interact. Didnt feel like a couple even in their deaths. Because if it was a couple they wouldve been killed by the opposite weapons.
Just so you know, there is a rumour somewhere. The reason hammer girl choose to use hammer is because that is the weapon she uses to kill her abusive father
Also, fun fact: the movement of Hammer Girl is actually inspired by Silat, particularly from the style of Cakar Harimau (lit. Tiger Claw). The director Gareth Evans really like this particular silat style and tried to come up with a weapon that can replace the "claw hand" used in in the silat style and thus decided to use the claw part of a hammer. Hence why most of Hammer Girl's finisher relies on the claw instead of smashing with the blunt side.
I've been waiting for this one ever since you guys announced it. I know movie choreography isn't always a slice of realism, but as a disabled guy who loves martial arts, I like to see some disabled film characters capable of holding their own. She's one of my favorite parts of this movie.
If you guys thought Julie Estelle was cool here, then you should see her fight scene in The Night Comes For Us. I'd very much love to see an analysis on that one.
She's also amazing in Headshot (2016) too! But yes, Julie Estelle vs Hannah Al Rashid in The Night Comes For Us (2018) is fantastic. Great recommendation.
@@ScenicFights I would absolutely love to see a breakdown of that fight! It's one of my all time favourites! Would also love it if you could include the fighting in the apartment that precedes it!
Silat fighter here - I love that you guys broke down that scene, and gave so much input. The Raid series is incredible in terms of realistic fight scenes! The individual move sequences usually all show high skills and plausible action/reaction. These are movies though, so the only really unrealistic thing in the fight scenes is the total duration of the fights (I'm sure you would never have Karambit Fight in a kitchen that lasts 7 minutes). Please keep going with these videos, which focus more on realistic scenes than on total BS from 80s Action Movies. Personally I take so much more valuable input from you guys when you discuss the realistic parts.
one of the things that i like in this kinda movies (the man from nowhere, the raid 1-2, donnie yen movies, tony ja movies and specially jackie chan movies) is that unlike amarican action when the character ALWAYS stands his ground or advances, the characters in these movies knows when to step back, when to jump back, when to switch to defence for a while or even when to run away for a few seconds
100% the fight scenes is non Hollywood films are usually a part of the story and character development. That's what makes them so much more meaningful. Plus you can tell they had months of rehearsals for them.
i think its also about the mentality as well......you macho hero, hero never retreats, always stands or moves front, step back is weakness, makes you look bad to the girl.....meanwhile jackie chan runs around screaming like spongebob using ladders mostly to protect himself
The more astounding part of her character is when you learn as to why she always wears the glasses. I knew she was gonna die, but damn she was one helluva good villain.
This scene we see the sign language with her brother so learn she is deaf. So her eyesight is her only way to perceive the world. Then when the glasses come off we learn her right eye has been destroyed at some time. This makes her pretty courageous when you consider that her left eye is all she has and if that gets damaged she is cut off from the world for the rest of her life, and yet she is out there constantly getting in fights on her missions. The glasses are her best way to protect all she has left, as well as covering her vulnerability from her enemies - they see that single eye they will be aiming for it.
@@EmperorKnightlock In the comic it was revealed that she and baseball bat man were abused by their father, that's where the injury came from. And the siblings killed their father with the weapon that they still use now, hammer and baseball bat
Star Trek's Kirk vs Gorn was insane. Can't believe we taught you the ancient secret judo chop + war cry combo. However, The Raid 2 Hammer Girl Breakdown is an epic return to normalcy.
I'm working to become a novelist and describing action sceneshas always been my weakness, but your combat breakdowns are such a big help with that ❤ thank you guys for being so awesome
I guess a great aspect of the scene is that unlike other one-versus-multiple fight scenes, it happens in a subway train so with the tight corridor the gang has to come in one by one. That basically “solves” the issue where in that multiple enemy scenario those enemies can gang up on you all at once and you’re in a clear disadvantage instantly
Also that claw hammer meat test is insane lmao, next thing we know y’all gon have a dummy in the demonstration and yank it around like a piece of cloth wouldn’t you lol
That dummy idea is not out of the realm of possibilities lol. Great insight on the tight corridor in this fight scene! I hope you enjoyed our breakdown. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes that you'd like to see us break down next!
@@ScenicFights You guys do an amazing job at these breakdowns and I am really enjoying the series! I don’t really have any suggestions cus I really enjoy the surprise factor of what kind of fight scenes you guys will be doing next lol. Amazing work!!
Amazing fight scene i can not wait too see it broken down. The raid and man from nowhere are some of the best melee weapon action i have seen. Not always realistic but always fun!!
You guys never disappoint. Simply wow. Just what I wanted. And Logan using a real piece of flesh to demonstrate that gripping, just awesome!!! 6:22 special mention lol
Logan has problems but we love him. If you haven't, make sure to subscribe and look at Logan's other breakdowns which include: John Wick: th-cam.com/video/xHrqHulxK7c/w-d-xo.html or get to know Chad with his breakdowns here: th-cam.com/video/8oy0b__krQk/w-d-xo.html
I would to add, that type of kick is used in Hapkido. A korean martial art that take a lot from taekwondo. This martial art uses kicks to trap attacks, usually kicks that are done by their opponent.
I was actually confused with her style of combat, because this was an Indonesian film and their wikipedia page said that they were using Pencat Silat, an Indonesian Martial arts throughout the movie. The moves looks so similar to Kali's stick fighting technique so I immediately assumed that they were using Kali in their fight scene, but after seeing some Pencat Silat practitioners in youtube, their movements were pretty similar to Kali, yet their style was more focus destroying their opponent were as Kali was designed to kill their opponent efficiently. Try reviewing the baseball bat guy in the same movie. His movement was smooth in combat.
Kali and Pencat Silat share similar martial arts roots. Just to clarify to any person reading this, Hammer Girl is trained in Pencat Silat while Logan is trained in Kali.
Yupp, most of South East Asia were once under one kingdom so we have a lot of similar aspects that could be traced back to that kingdom, as one can see in martial art.
@@bhlacks exactly thx for clarify, the wiki pedia only give u one context u need to read all related stuff auch as society growth, politic, and how culture affect all of it. having nationality in SEA is absurd since all of us is basically just same.
@@sngchannel3812 not every indonesian know silat either before this movie blow up in the west even not all philippine know kali every east thingy is that we killed so many authentic things in ourselves just to re-learn it again from the west perspective.
Love the further breakdown using the real hammer and the slab of meat, really shows how that move couldn’t have realistically happened. Awesome breakdown guys!
Finally you guys are back, I was starting to have withdrawal, and what is this? A meat test? So you have finally entered the Doug Marcdaida "it-will-keel" realm, again kudos to your awesome content, can't wait to see what's next.
Glad you welcome our return and enjoyed our meat test! It's something new we are experimenting with. As always, make sure to hit that notification bell to see which fight scene we breakdown next! You won't have to wait long.
The character Hammmer girl was deaf, so her and her brother did sign language to talk to her. I think he said As usual in the fight scene with him and hammer girl against rama
This reminds me that I must rewatch both Raid movies soon. Sidenote: I know your channel is mainly about movie fights, but given the recent hammer attack on the two Asian women in NYC, would you consider doing a self-defense breakdown of how you might have handled a similar attack? Thanks!
This was one of my favorite scenes from this movie so really glad you all did this! Both of the Raids were classic. I give The Raid 1 the slight edge but 2 was great as well. I'd like to see you all break down the fight scene from "Chinese Boxing" in Warrior Season 1
Glad to have you back in our comment section! We really appreciate it. It has been a long time, is there any fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
Thank you for the awesome support! It would help a lot if you share with your friends and get them to like and subscribe too! Is there any other fight scene that you'd like to see us breakdown next?
Glad that our content gets you hyped up! Your comment got us just as hyped. Make sure to invite your friends, get them to subscribe, and let us know which fight scene you want us to breakdown next!
Love this series. I'm writing a manga right now and I've been inspired by these videos to have a main character use Kali techniques in her combat scenes.
I had subscribed long before watching this video, but when you guys brought out that piece of meat, I just reaffirmed my conviction as a subscriber. I did the right thing. Awesome work.
Thank you so much for the subscription! We plan to do more weapon testing in our breakdowns. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you'd like to see us review next.
Thank you! Kali can be ugly, but we make it as nice as possible lol. Make sure to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
AWESOME SUPER EXCITED IT'S BEEN A A LAST MONTH WE HAVE SEEN PASS BREAKDOWNS AS ALLWAYS IT IS AMAZING AND ENERGETIC .BUT NOW THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE MINDBLOWING AND VERY COOL BREAKDOWN. FINALLY SCENIC FIGHTS ARE BACK WITH A BANG BANG!!💥💥💥💥💪💪👍
Let's gooo I'm so happy you're covering The Raid! Hopefully The Night Comes For Us is in your plans sometime down the line as well haha, I'll keep saying it and never stop :D Indonesian films are absolutely unmatched in terms of action films with hand to hand combat. Not only that, but their cinematography is phenomenal! Gareth Evans really nailed it with the Raid series
Great stuff, it is true that most war hammer from the medieval period don't have claws but most did have the back spike also, some hammers were flat faced but usually squared. Can't wait to see what is next from you guys.
Oof, shoot, there's so much good (read: fun) to choose from. Had to review a few of em to really narrow it down. I think it's a tie between Mad Dog vs Andi/Rama in Redemption and Rama VS Hammer Girl/Bat Boy in Raid 2. Hammer Girl/Bat Boy have such interesting unconventional weapons, it makes that fight mesmerizing.
@@ScenicFights so many scenes to choose from. The one that stands out to me right now would be Rama vs The Assassin in The Raid 2. That one is just amazing.
Glad you enjoyed our breakdown! Make sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for more. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!?
@@ScenicFights I subscribed only recently, but I've been a fan for a while, great stuff. I've watched so many movies yet I can't even think... wait.. Jailbreak, to me, is like, one of the underrated MA movies, even if it does come off as a ripoff of the 'Raid' movies.
@@ScenicFights The machete fight or the drug lab fight from the first. The last fight of the second movie is an easy pick, of course. Everyone likes that one.
Raid 2 has some of the best fighting scene in a martial art movie. This part really reminds me of some of fights from the movie title The Man From Nowhere. The part when the star is picking off his enemies with the gun than he uses the knife. The knife fight is very interesting and graphic.
Dummy knife, Dummy Karambit, Dummy Hammer, Modelling Wooden Knife as Sub-Zero's one and Tonfa as Cole Young, practicing with hammers just for break-down- Man, you guys are really dedicated for this job. Respect !!!
Loved this breakdown. The Raid and The Raid 2 have amazing, brutal, gory fights. There is a (hugely underrated) TV series called Banshee that has some similarly brutal fight scenes, which might be fun to break down as well.
We would love too! I know it may not seem like it, but we are just a bunch of friends that make martial arts content on our spare time. We're not big shots (yet) or represented by any company. With that being said, I think we will certainly have some actors/stunt doubles for our fight scene breakdowns in the future!
@@ScenicFights Man. Keep adding real world demos like that Deadliest Warrior-style meat test and it'll happen before you know it. Also, idk where you guys are getting all these accurate props but it's great. Also, great use of chapters, please consider adding them to older videos. Also, this is great, this whole channel is a gold mine. Edit: Especially love the "weapon breakdown" and discussing the logistics of murder via general purpose handtool.
I am always so delighted to see how much FMA practicioners have a common language. I am on a different part of the globe, randomly watching this video and everything makes sense to me like it's another day in training.
This is awesome to hear! Always great to get support from fellow FMA practitioners Feel free to check out Logan's other Kali breakdown like The Hunted: th-cam.com/video/UxfkSrOq1BY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Glad to know the Spanish subtitles were well done. We will try to keep adding them on all our breakdowns! Therefore, feel free to share it with your Spanish speaking friends so they can subscribe.
Haha make sure to watch the entire video because the TH-cam algorithm promotes our video if people watch it all! With that being said, thank you for the support. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
Happy to hear you enjoy our content! Make sure to hit that notification bell so you know when we post new fight scene breakdowns. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to us to review next?
Make sure to watch our breakdowns with your friends (and get them to subscribe too :)! Is there any other fight scene breakdown you want us to do next?
@@ScenicFights will absolutely do so! would love to see any other fight from the Raid series, but im here for whatever content you all put out. you guys rock!
Much appreciated! Make sure to send to your friends and get them to watch and subscribe too! Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@0:38 It amazes me that so many people overlooked the number of ordinary people (including the women) just sitting and standing while minding their own business when Hammer Girl stood up. Then all of a sudden, they all disappeared like magic at the next camera shot and only the goons remained...no commotion and no shouting were seen and heard. @4:15 Hammer Girl hit the guy towards her right side but he slightly moved his head to the opposite (left) side instead. He probably got a stiff neck. Hammer Girl really knows how to do her hammertime!
You guys just keep getting better and better! Would be nice to edit in some pictures of what you are talking about for instance when you mentionned warhammers (I know I can google it, but that would mean pausing this awesome video)
It's such a great movie! Watch part one first before you get into part 2. Both are AMAZING. Glad you enjoyed our breakdown, make sure to share with a friend and subscribe! Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFightsI'm so grateful for your answer thanks ! I watched already the first movie :). Why not some Ongbak 1 fight scenes ? By the time, Tony Jaa was sold as the successor of Bruce Lee and for sure Ongbak 1 was a mix of great fighting scenes, would be a good thing to have a Breakdown on that !
Awesome review guys. Im actually learning some stuff while observing your breakdowns too. But you make it fun too. "Thats dark" canned myself. Always a pleasure watching. Keep it up!
What I like about that scene is that she takes an everyday object and turns it into a terrifying weapon. While the scene is not too realistic, I'd like to point a few things out that translate to real hitmen: 1) you don't need a fencing weapon, because you're not about to duel yourself. For instance, a Kukri is more a tool than a weapon, but it hits harder too than e.g. a bowie. If you try to stop someone from shooting you, it may actually be the better choice, but if you're expecting a knife fight, then the bowie would serve you better, given that you're skills are matching... 2) a murder weapon does not need to be fancy nor state of the art. If you got an unarmed and unexpecting target, why use a 2000 USD rifle, when a hammer or screwdriver will do just fine? IRL old revolvers, baseball bats, machetes, kitchen knives, garottes, screwdrivers, and even hammers have been used far more in gang wars than automatic firearms. Most of the time, they picked individual targets and hit them before they knew what was happening... 3) a hammer is easier to explain and less conspicuous to buy than a gun. Moreover, when you clean it and dispose of it, hardly anyone would call the cops, unlike someone who finds a discarded gun...
We plan on making a lot more breakdowns! If you haven't yet make sure to get your friend to subscribe to the channel and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next! We do anime breakdowns too like Attack on Titan: th-cam.com/video/p_Gg5vgamxI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for the support! May you share our channel with your friends and get them to subscribe too! I agree the Raid series is amazing and there are so many good fight scenes for us to breakdown from there. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFights Most definitely the kitchen fight scene between Rama and The Assassin in the same movie, The Raid 2. I'd like to see how that fight is assessed regarding realism
Yay! A fresh breakdown. Featuring Logan (happy belated birthday!) and badass lady action. Oh and Chad too. Made my night :) Calls to mind Maslow's hammer - "When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail... "
These are always great to watch in fact I achual use a lot of their suggestions in my fight scenes. I can't wait for more Raid fights, hopefully your do the hallway fight scene it's another great double weapon fight scene using the knife and police baton.
Welcome to our first breakdown from The Raid series! If you are a martial arts fan and you still haven't seen this film, make sure to watch both The Raid: Redemption (2011) and The Raid 2: Berandal (2014) right after you share, comment and like this video lol (Honestly, it really helps us!).

There are a lot of fights that could be broken down. But I hope you could try the karambit fight scene at the end of Raid 2.
Could you maybe breakdown the karambit scene from Raid 2? th-cam.com/video/uowzCtxyNkE/w-d-xo.html
The karambit scene is a must
R2!

Fucking priceless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The moves looks so similar to Kali's stick fighting technique so I immediately assumed that they were using Kali in their fight scene, but after seeing some Pencat Silat practitioners in youtube, their movements were pretty similar to Kali, yet their style was more focus destroying their opponent were as Kali was designed to kill their opponent efficiently.
Try reviewing the baseball bat guy in the same movie. His movement was smooth in combat.
Kali and Pencat Silat share similar martial arts roots. Just to clarify to any person reading this, Hammer Girl is trained in Pencat Silat while Logan is trained in Kali.
Yupp, most of South East Asia were once under one kingdom so we have a lot of similar aspects that could be traced back to that kingdom, as one can see in martial art.
@@bhlacks exactly thx for clarify, the wiki pedia only give u one context u need to read all related stuff auch as society growth, politic, and how culture affect all of it. having nationality in SEA is absurd since all of us is basically just same.
It's funny to know that kali (majapahit) is a lost martial art from majapahit kingdom ... Even in east java they didn't know about it...
@@sngchannel3812 not every indonesian know silat either before this movie blow up in the west even not all philippine know kali every east thingy is that we killed so many authentic things in ourselves just to re-learn it again from the west perspective.
that hammer claw meat demo though...
Im subbing
Thanks for the subscription! Glad to have you here on the channel Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next.
Love the further breakdown using the real hammer and the slab of meat, really shows how that move couldn’t have realistically happened. Awesome breakdown guys!
I have practice'd Doce Pares for 6 years nad I went back to the Philippines to study kali. I really appreciate this episode. Keep up the good work!
Our pleasure! Make sure to subscribe and let us know which other Kali fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown!
Finally you guys are back, I was starting to have withdrawal, and what is this? A meat test? So you have finally entered the Doug Marcdaida "it-will-keel" realm, again kudos to your awesome content, can't wait to see what's next.
Glad you welcome our return and enjoyed our meat test! It's something new we are experimenting with. As always, make sure to hit that notification bell to see which fight scene we breakdown next! You won't have to wait long.
That hammer will keel though.
The character Hammmer girl was deaf, so her and her brother did sign language to talk to her. I think he said As usual in the fight scene with him and hammer girl against rama
This reminds me that I must rewatch both Raid movies soon. Sidenote: I know your channel is mainly about movie fights, but given the recent hammer attack on the two Asian women in NYC, would you consider doing a self-defense breakdown of how you might have handled a similar attack? Thanks!
Thank you for this comment! We are looking into potential self-defense videos in the future for sure.
This was one of my favorite scenes from this movie so really glad you all did this! Both of the Raids were classic. I give The Raid 1 the slight edge but 2 was great as well. I'd like to see you all break down the fight scene from "Chinese Boxing" in Warrior Season 1
Let's fucking go! Been waiting for so long. Happy to have you guys back!
Glad to have you back in our comment section! We really appreciate it. It has been a long time, is there any fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?

It's nice to see Logan so excited
(It's actually hilarious to see him right after the intro to the Ava Fight Scenes)
When Chad's not physically hurting me, he's hurting my feelings.

Hallmarks of great companionship I imagine!
I'm hyped up to rewatch this movie with this new knowledge of kali.
Really enjoyed this fight breakdown. Props to both experts!
Thank you! Make sure to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Love this series. I'm writing a manga right now and I've been inspired by these videos to have a main character use Kali techniques in her combat scenes.
Ooooh, good choice, homie.
We need more Kali representation! Make it happen Tyler.
Hell yeah... Saw this pop up while at work! My evening is saved! Great video as always and thank you so much!
Thanks for saving our evening by consistently engaging with our video. Words can't describe how much we appreciate it!
This channel needs SO many more subscribers bruh. Your analyses are on point. Please keep doing these👍😁
Help us out and repost then! And thanks for the support.
The scariest man ever with a hammer since triple H....
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!

@@isanolastname2867 Not with how low tier he is 😟
I had subscribed long before watching this video, but when you guys brought out that piece of meat, I just reaffirmed my conviction as a subscriber. I did the right thing. Awesome work.
Thank you so much for the subscription! We plan to do more weapon testing in our breakdowns. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you'd like to see us review next.
Been doing Kali since 2008 and I still can't get used to how nasty it can be sometimes.
Love this scene by the way and your breakdown is spot on.
Thank you! Kali can be ugly, but we make it as nice as possible lol. Make sure to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
FINALLLYYY
I do wanna see Chad break down the hand to hand scenes in movies though
The kitchen scene with the karabin
I need more upvotes for this
@@reelgesh51 karambit
AWESOME SUPER EXCITED IT'S BEEN A A LAST MONTH WE HAVE SEEN PASS BREAKDOWNS AS ALLWAYS IT IS AMAZING AND ENERGETIC .BUT NOW THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE MINDBLOWING AND VERY COOL BREAKDOWN. FINALLY SCENIC FIGHTS ARE BACK WITH A BANG BANG!!💥💥💥💥💪💪👍
I absolutely love the breakdowns with you two, you're awesome, guys!
You're awesome! Thanks for the comment. Is there any other fight scene that you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFights oh, if I remember correctly, there was a kinda cool knife fight in the movie Coriolanus
I miss you guys! So glad to see another video
And we have more on the way! Is there any other fight scene that you'd like to see us breakdown next!?
Oooooooo
1.punisher series, prison fight scene
2. Punisher season 2 episode 1 bar fight
3. Unleashed jet li be mike lambert
AND punisher bathroom fight scene!
Great Video as always. Loved when Logan clawed the meat.
and now I just realized how make sense every single movement in the raid!!!! god dam dude the raid is masterpieces!
Let's gooo I'm so happy you're covering The Raid! Hopefully The Night Comes For Us is in your plans sometime down the line as well haha, I'll keep saying it and never stop :D Indonesian films are absolutely unmatched in terms of action films with hand to hand combat. Not only that, but their cinematography is phenomenal! Gareth Evans really nailed it with the Raid series
Ok, new fan, love the fight breakdowns.
Great stuff, it is true that most war hammer from the medieval period don't have claws but most did have the back spike also, some hammers were flat faced but usually squared. Can't wait to see what is next from you guys.
Holy crap holy crap holy crap I've been so excited to see the raid breakdowns!!!!
What's your favorite fight scene from The Raid series?
Oof, shoot, there's so much good (read: fun) to choose from. Had to review a few of em to really narrow it down. I think it's a tie between Mad Dog vs Andi/Rama in Redemption and Rama VS Hammer Girl/Bat Boy in Raid 2. Hammer Girl/Bat Boy have such interesting unconventional weapons, it makes that fight mesmerizing.
1 Dislike from that guy she hooked with her leg and totally forgot about
lmao, but engagement is engagement lol.
Raid 2 kitchen fight... Man i cant wait both of you to break down the the entire fight :) it should be a long episode
Such a brutal scene. Great breakdown Logan! Can't wait to see more from The Raid series.
What's your favorite fight scene from The Raid series?
@@ScenicFights so many scenes to choose from. The one that stands out to me right now would be Rama vs The Assassin in The Raid 2. That one is just amazing.
There's been some really good episodes on this channel. That said, this is one of the best.
Glad you enjoyed our breakdown! Make sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for more. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!?
@@ScenicFights I subscribed only recently, but I've been a fan for a while, great stuff. I've watched so many movies yet I can't even think... wait.. Jailbreak, to me, is like, one of the underrated MA movies, even if it does come off as a ripoff of the 'Raid' movies.
Fantastic analysis as always, a great scene and thank you for highlighting the Sinawali usage
I can't wait for this and the next MMA breakdown of this!!!
You're not going to have to wait long! Make sure to share with your friend and get them to subscribe too.
@@ScenicFights already have dudes! You guys are awesome!!!
Fantastic analysis. I hope to see more of anything Raid from you guys.
More to come! For sure! What's your favorite fight scene from The Raid?
@@ScenicFights The machete fight or the drug lab fight from the first. The last fight of the second movie is an easy pick, of course. Everyone likes that one.
Loved the breakdown!! It's great to learn from people with so much knowledge!!
Good old raid. We can talk about it all day thanks for the breakdown guys❤❤
Raid 2 has some of the best fighting scene in a martial art movie. This part really reminds me of some of fights from the movie title The Man From Nowhere. The part when the star is picking off his enemies with the gun than he uses the knife. The knife fight is very interesting and graphic.
One of the best fight scenes...with just a Frickin.. Hammer!!!
Dummy knife, Dummy Karambit, Dummy Hammer, Modelling Wooden Knife as Sub-Zero's one and Tonfa as Cole Young, practicing with hammers just for break-down- Man, you guys are really dedicated for this job. Respect !!!
Not even out yet and super psyched already. Fightboisss
The greatest hype person we know! Thanks for the support as always.
Great episode as always! There's so many fights in that movies that I would like you guys to break down
Loved this breakdown. The Raid and The Raid 2 have amazing, brutal, gory fights.
There is a (hugely underrated) TV series called Banshee that has some similarly brutal fight scenes, which might be fun to break down as well.
Banshee is great. What's your favorite fight scene from it?
@@ScenicFights I really liked the one where Lucas fights the MMA fighter, and I also liked the Burton vs. Nola one.
This is a great channel, seriously!
Excellent break down.
Thank you! If you haven't yet, make sure to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next.
You guys ever gonna get the actors/stunt doubles to guest star? Not that you guys aren't already much more than capable of breaking down each scene.
We would love too! I know it may not seem like it, but we are just a bunch of friends that make martial arts content on our spare time. We're not big shots (yet) or represented by any company. With that being said, I think we will certainly have some actors/stunt doubles for our fight scene breakdowns in the future!
@@ScenicFights trust me you guys will blow up sooner or later...
@@bruhmunch6983 That would be the dream! Then we can do multiple videos every week.
@@ScenicFights Man, the production quality for your videos always seem so great. Amazing job for an independent studio.
@@ScenicFights Man. Keep adding real world demos like that Deadliest Warrior-style meat test and it'll happen before you know it. Also, idk where you guys are getting all these accurate props but it's great. Also, great use of chapters, please consider adding them to older videos. Also, this is great, this whole channel is a gold mine.
Edit: Especially love the "weapon breakdown" and discussing the logistics of murder via general purpose handtool.
I am always so delighted to see how much FMA practicioners have a common language. I am on a different part of the globe, randomly watching this video and everything makes sense to me like it's another day in training.
This is awesome to hear! Always great to get support from fellow FMA practitioners Feel free to check out Logan's other Kali breakdown like The Hunted: th-cam.com/video/UxfkSrOq1BY/w-d-xo.html

@0:38
It amazes me that so many people overlooked the number of ordinary people (including the women) just sitting and standing while minding their own business when Hammer Girl stood up. Then all of a sudden, they all disappeared like magic at the next camera shot and only the goons remained...no commotion and no shouting were seen and heard.
@4:15
Hammer Girl hit the guy towards her right side but he slightly moved his head to the opposite (left) side instead. He probably got a stiff neck.
Hammer Girl really knows how to do her hammertime!
You guys just keep getting better and better! Would be nice to edit in some pictures of what you are talking about for instance when you mentionned warhammers (I know I can google it, but that would mean pausing this awesome video)
OH YEAH!!! FINALLY IT'S HERE GREAT TO SEE BOTH BROTHERS CHAD AND LOGAN ! THE RAID 2 NOW OK SURELY I HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!!⚡🤟🤟🤟💪💪💪
Finally ;-) And can you do the analysis of "Collateral" from 2004? Cruise looked as sharp as ever.
I still need to watch The Raid flicks! I've heard only good things. As always, love the breakdown y'all!
Never watched The Raid 2, and i'm going to thanks to this video and the charisma of hammer girl ! Great Breakdown by the way !
It's such a great movie! Watch part one first before you get into part 2. Both are AMAZING. Glad you enjoyed our breakdown, make sure to share with a friend and subscribe! Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFightsI'm so grateful for your answer thanks ! I watched already the first movie :). Why not some Ongbak 1 fight scenes ? By the time, Tony Jaa was sold as the successor of Bruce Lee and for sure Ongbak 1 was a mix of great fighting scenes, would be a good thing to have a Breakdown on that !
Tony Jaa is on our radar! Something we will do in the future when the time is right.
Awesome review guys. Im actually learning some stuff while observing your breakdowns too.
But you make it fun too.
"Thats dark" canned myself.
Always a pleasure watching. Keep it up!
Good review ... When I first saw this movie I was like WOW SHE IS SICK WITH THOSE HAMMERS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys deserve more subscribers
I appreciate the comment 💪 All we ask is to share our channel with your friends so we can continue to grow and do more breakdowns for you.
Wow you guys break down the fighting scene... awesome 😎👌
What I like about that scene is that she takes an everyday object and turns it into a terrifying weapon. While the scene is not too realistic, I'd like to point a few things out that translate to real hitmen:
1) you don't need a fencing weapon, because you're not about to duel yourself. For instance, a Kukri is more a tool than a weapon, but it hits harder too than e.g. a bowie. If you try to stop someone from shooting you, it may actually be the better choice, but if you're expecting a knife fight, then the bowie would serve you better, given that you're skills are matching...
2) a murder weapon does not need to be fancy nor state of the art. If you got an unarmed and unexpecting target, why use a 2000 USD rifle, when a hammer or screwdriver will do just fine? IRL old revolvers, baseball bats, machetes, kitchen knives, garottes, screwdrivers, and even hammers have been used far more in gang wars than automatic firearms. Most of the time, they picked individual targets and hit them before they knew what was happening...
3) a hammer is easier to explain and less conspicuous to buy than a gun. Moreover, when you clean it and dispose of it, hardly anyone would call the cops, unlike someone who finds a discarded gun...
Amazing analysis. I agree with every single point you made. Well said.
Please make more videos, love all your breakdown!
We plan on making a lot more breakdowns! If you haven't yet make sure to get your friend to subscribe to the channel and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next! We do anime breakdowns too like Attack on Titan: th-cam.com/video/p_Gg5vgamxI/w-d-xo.html
You should also do a break down of The Raid: Redemption as well. In particular the scene of Rama fighting the corridor with the machete guys.
I wake up and i found this...
Holy shit what a good day this'll be
Glad we can make your day! We have a bunch of awesome anime surprises for you, Tobias :)
@@ScenicFights :D
missed the opportunity to go with the intro: "stop!!! hammer time!!!"...
that said, great insight and commentary guys... keep it up!!!
lmao we should! Next time if we ever do another hammer fight scene. Glad you enjoyed our breakdown and thank you so much for the support!
An awesome break down on one of many great fight scenes in this movie. Great job. I can't wait to see what ya'll do next
Thank you so much for the support! May you share our channel with your friends and get them to subscribe too! I agree the Raid series is amazing and there are so many good fight scenes for us to breakdown from there. Is there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFights Most definitely the kitchen fight scene between Rama and The Assassin in the same movie, The Raid 2. I'd like to see how that fight is assessed regarding realism
I was also questioning whether the hammer would unzip, 8:04 and that's why you always listen to the expert ladies and gentleman
Yay! A fresh breakdown. Featuring Logan (happy belated birthday!) and badass lady action. Oh and Chad too. Made my night :)
Calls to mind Maslow's hammer - "When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail... "
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Maslow; nice!
These are always great to watch in fact I achual use a lot of their suggestions in my fight scenes. I can't wait for more Raid fights, hopefully your do the hallway fight scene it's another great double weapon fight scene using the knife and police baton.
