If you guys haven't already found out, the martial art in these films is a variation of silat. Iko Uwais (Rama) and Yayan Ruhian (Mad Dog) did the fight choreography together, and Ruhian had also had a history as a fight trainer for the Indonesian Police. True badasses!
Also Ruhian has taught silat in multiple countries, and is a very accomplished martial arts master. It really shows in the movie, he moves like he's weightless
Yeah this movie is basically an intentional showcase of how cool Silat is. Kinda why the film is so brutal, because of all the traditional martial arts I'm aware of, Silat is among the most dirty and violent.
This is a relatively unknown film in the US, partly because american audiences generally don't like to watch foreign movies with subtitles. That's why even a lot of film and action fans like you haven't heard of it. But it's actually really influential. This came out in 2011 and if you watch action films before that, there's a trend for shaky, close up camera shots and many quick cuts, influenced by the Bourne films and Taken. After The Raid 1&2 came out, there's a noticeable shift in the way action is shot, with a lot less cuts, wider angles and a desire to show more of the stuntwork and more of what's actually happening. The John Wick series is an example. John Wick director Chad Strahelski said that he's a big fan of the The Raid guys' work and it's no coincidence that two of the final bosses of Wick 3 are Yayan Ruhian, who plays Mad Dog in The Raid 1 and Prakoso in The Raid 2, as well as Cecep Arif Rahman, who's basically the final boss of The Raid 2. It may not be known by as many people as it deserves to be, but certainly everyone got to feel their influence.
It make sense tho. Russo bros even admitted they were inspired by the raid movies for the combat scenes in the Winter Soldier movie. All in all, the Raid marks the end of super-fast cuts & shaky cams era
Such a massive shame that writer/director Gareth Evans's DC Deathstroke movie never happened after his two Raid movies :( Highly recommend his Gangs of London crime show!
You might recognize Joe Taslim, who played Sgt. Jaka, as Sub-Zero from the most recent Mortal Kombat movie. Iko Uwais & Yayan Ruhian, who played Rama & Mad Dog, respectively, had a cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens along with their friend Cecep Arif Rahman, who appears in The Raid 2. Ruhian & Rahman also appeared in John Wick Chapter 3 as Zero's students.
He's much more than that , Yayan Ruhian is a silat master wh teaches the art in Indonesia and Iko Uwais the protagonist of the movie is actually one of his students
The hallway fights in Daredevil were inspired by the hallway fights in this movie, the top down combo shot in Shang Chi was inspired by the one from this movie, the knife fights and flexible weapons in John Wick Chapter 3 were inspired by the fights here. Incredibly influential action film that not a lot of people have even heard of. You may recognize the two bodyguards as the guys who let John Wick live at the end of the third movie because they were fans, who he then let live in return after he bodyslammed them through glass floor.

Another actor you may recognize is Joe Taslim was Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat, and in a phenomenal cinemax kung-fu show you should check out called Warrior.
No die but just broke some bone. 😆 Many of them in this film is athlete from Indonesian martial art name is silat same like taekwondo, muaythai but silat is more deadly if apply in real fight like what Rama and mad dog do. Many silat school in Indonesia same like Shaolin school in China.
Oh man, you gotta continue with The Raid 2. And in similar vein of the Raid, highly recommend The Night Comes For Us, another Indonesian action film but much more gruesome and violent and the star of the Raid (Iko Uwais) plays the main bad guy in the film. Definitely two action films that’ll blow you away.
*MERANTAU (2009, Iko Uwais debut film)* and *HEADSHOT (2016)* are also worth watch. Highly recommended if you want to see same style of action. My advise is to watch them all (including The Raids and TNCFU) in chronological order to see how the team and actors improved with each film. 👍
@@shoujahatsumetsu That movie was insane, I was so shocked when I learned there was a movie with Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Tiger Chen, Iko Uwais, Tony Jaa and I had NEVER heard of it until I saw it randomly on streaming. Like nobody bothered to tell me that many action legends were doing a movie together?
There is this meme about Mad Dog: You can be cool. But you can't be Mad Dog fighting two guys at once with a neon lamp in his neck cool ! Such a great action movie !
lol. That’s why that final fight will always be a stand out to me. In a 2 v 1 fight, Mad Dog was still handing the brothers their butts. The brother’s win totally came down to luck with that broken lamp.
When rating fight choreographies, The Raid is what comes to mind as the best example of how it should be done. The action here has yet to be replicated in Hollywood. Imagine if, let’s say, superhero movies had this level of choreography. It would be so brilliant
The best choreography in a superhero project wasn't even a movie, it was in the Daredevil show which was highly inspired by _this movie._ Silat is even one of that version of Daredevil's main styles.
@@BranDZ7yeah John Wick definitely improved the fire arms action scenes but I'd say their hand to hand combat scenes are still a bit too rigid (which is possibly due to Keanu's age and I don't blame him, he's doing great work!). If they bring Iko Uwais into the Wick universe, however, and make him a new force to be reckoned with then that be great
Fun fact, and what made me aware of this film, the score was done by Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. Such an epic film that gave worldwide recognition to some incredible stunt performers. Another fun fact, Iko Uwais (the main actor) is also a world champion in Silat demonstration, the martial art he uses in the film. This film also catapult him and the stunt team onto the world stage and they have done quite a few action films and stunt choreography in major film, since this. Also, never trust the white guy in a foreign film
What The Raid did for action movies is why we ended up with John Wicks instead of the early 2000's industry-standard Jason Bourne 250 shakycam jumpcuts in each fight.
There is a movie that came out around the same time.”Warriors of the rainbow” title is not great with all the lgbt crap around,but it’s an epic Taiwanese story of guerrilla fighting against the japs.Movie is way better than expected.
All three main actors were professional martial art athletes. Mad Dog n Rama's fight mostly use Pencak Silat martial art. Jaka (the sergeant) was a taekwondo athlete. Yayan Ruhiyan (yeyen rooheeyen) is actively making fight coreography in many movies, and he still train in his Pencak Silat dojo. Thank you for making one of my requests come true, boys! Can not wait until you watch The Raid 2. I know you'll love it more 😎
Sorry, just correcting your information a bit. Joe Taslim (Jaka) was previously a Judo Athlete who was also a member of the Indonesian national judo team
one of my favourite movies of all time. I remember reading the back of the dvd case and reading "7 minutes of drama, 113 minutes of action" or something along those lines lol
I am gleefully telling my job that I'm putting in my two-weeks notice today, and this reaction is the shot of adrenaline I'm waking up with. I deserve better than that place, and after five years it's time to acheive it. Let's go!!!
@@BaddMedicineThere is two of these they use Silat in these movies.Mad Dog plays in part two also as a different character and plays in John Wick three.The cop that got killed by Mad Dog is Joe Taslim he played Sub Zero in the new Mortal Kombat movie and he plays in the tv show Warrior that has three seasons and is on netflix.
His brother was smiling in the end because he was the one who bought the higher ups to get control over the whole business (he also said you don't kill cops you buy them) , you can see he realised it was his brother all along in the last shot .
Mad Dog, the villain, he plays in John Wick 3. Jaka, the good cop, plays as Sub Zero in the last Mortal Combat. And Rama, the main character, plays in Fast n Furious, Star Trek, and many other Hollywood movies.
I'm Indonesian, and I saw this back at theatres when it premiered. Indonesian cinema was kind of in a weird spot then with a lot cheap copy of horror parody movies with heavy sexual themes releasing every other week. So when The Raid released it was like a breath much needed fresh air, and things were elevated since then, including the sequel, Raid 2 , which was even crazier, if you can believe that. Excited for guys to react to the sequel!
"This has to be the most epic fight scene I've ever seen" And then they saw the Raid 2. Interesting note: The Raid 2 was supposed to be the Raid 1, Gareth Evans original vision was for that to be the first movie, however they couldn't get the budget for it, so he went back and developed this, which gave them basically a blank check for the 2nd film. And it shows, the cinematography in the 2nd film sets the bar for action films to another level as well. That's not all, the 2nd film fills out in areas this one was unable to...even though it's an amazing film.
Jeff Speakman! Great callback from the Oak! Really cool to hear that you had a fairly extensive martial arts background growing up. I was also into Taekwondo in my teens but didn't have the drive to go for too long. Raid is a great action showpiece and a testament to the Indonesian action movie ecosystem.
This movie is my all time favorite. When he slit the thigh and knocked dudes head down the wall will always be my #1 fight scene!! Can’t wait for you bro watch next the next chapter!!
And now you get to do "The Raid 2." That was the movie Gareth Evans wanted to make, but couldn't get the backing, so he made "The Raid:Redmption" as a kind of proof of concept for the second movie. IMO, it is the rare sequel that outdoes the original.
This movie is an adrenaline masterpiece and thankfully the second one is just as great. Director Gareth Evans is an incredible action director. You should DEFINITELY check out the sequel and also Gareth’s TV series Gangs of London…. Both are WOW!!! So glad you guys loved it. Great reaction!
You guys badly need to check out Warrior (TV show) if you liked this! It’s basically a show about Chinese tongs in 19th century San Francisco based on Bruce Lee’s original treatment for what became the TV show Kung-Fu. Joe Taslim (Jaka in The Raid) is one of the key antagonists, Andy Koji from Bullet Train is the lead, and it’s produced by Shannon Lee, Bruce’s daughter, and Justin Lin, who directed most of the good Fast & Furious movies. The show is just wild, with tons of action, and really stellar acting.
This was quite a blood thirsty, but was a bloody good film! Been enjoying all the Asian shows/films you've been doing lately! May I suggest 'House of Flying Daggers' film possibly for the future? Great content as always!
As a fellow Indonesian myself, this movie is very special to me. Growing up with Jackie Chan and such, to having Iko representing what me and my cousins always wanted to be as kids is just special! Always makes me happy to see people react to it as well
for those who don't know, the actor who played Jaka (the team leader) in this film also played Sub-Zero in latest Mortal Kombat movie. his name is Joe Taslim
Y'all are killing me w this movie. Ur facial expressions have me in tears😂 & at some point i lost count of how many times u actually yelled out ooh or aaww!! Great reaction. This movie has the most amazing fight choreography ive seen in quite a while. Love it❤💞❤️
If I remember correctly, this was called the best action movie of all time, or of the century? Short century though. This movie inspired some much needed changes in modern action films.
i’m an indonesian and i know this movie is probably our most famous one (internationally), but i never actually get myself to watch it. 13 years later, i’m seriously going to watch it so i can watch your reaction.
Seriusan? Kemana aja kamu, yallah, sayang banget 13 tahun ini belum nonton... Sangat disayangkan 😭 Tapi combat kaya the raid, demi allah ga bakal lekang di makan jaman, the raid jadi batas terbaik film action.
I won passes at work to see The Raid as a advanced screening a few days before its theatrical release.i knew nothing about it, didn't see the trailer or anything. It blew my mind. It sets a high bar for action/martial arts movies. It's so damn good
That doorframe RKO was always my favorite “OHHH” moment of this movie. Sooo good. Also please watch HARDCORE HENRY! You want a movie that is literally non stop, that’s your movie. It’s also got the unique element of being shown entirely from the first person perspective.
@BaddMedicine The head cop (Joe Taslim) was in Fast and Furious 6, and he was also Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat (2021). Check him out in the hit series "Warrior".
The Raid 2 is the magnum opus...the Godfather part II of this. The story really opens up the (under)world that the first one was taking place in, and the action is AMAZING!!! Tou guys will love it!! Baseball boy and Hammer girl...that's all I'm going to say!!
The guy who plays Mad Dog, the villain that 1v2s our brothers, is the stunt coordinator for the Raid films, and was in John Wick 3. He's one of the gnarliest stunt coordinators in the world, honestly, and the Raid 2 cements him that title.
Oh boy are you in for a ride with the sequel. EDIT: And you absolutely should watch Dredd from 2012. Very similar story but extremely different execution. No pun intended.
I genuinely can't believe you gents haven't seen this movie and its sequel! Without trying to colour your opinions, both those movies were probably the best martial arts movies of their entire decade. Ah so the three stars of this movie went on to have pretty decent careers in action. Joe Taslim will be seen this year in Mortal Kombat 2. He's subzero and was clearly the best part of the movie (Ok, the best part of the movie was definitely Josh Lawson's Kano, he was absolutely hilarious). Iko Uwais is always really impressive in whatever he's in though he's often the only shining light of an otherwise terrible movie. I'm hoping that changes though! Anyway, can't wait to for y'all to watch the sequel. If you want recommendations after that, Ong Bak. Ong Bak stars Tony Jaa and that man is unbelieveable. I think there's a movie called Triple Threat which also stars Iko but I haven't watched that yet.
Fun facts: The raid was choreographed by the lead antagonist and the lead protagonist, Yayan and Iko. Both are actual pencak silat champions, the martial art showcased in the movie, its like muy thai with knives. The crazy eyes machete gang leader is a bare knuckle boxing champion. None of the guns had blanks. They were all modified airsoft models, muzzle flash was added in post, recoil was acted by the crew. It was written in English by Gareth Edwards, the Welsh director, and then translated into Indonesian.
watched this when it came out in 2012, couldn’t believe my eyes nor could I shut up talking about it. To me, the hallmark of MA action moves. Its artistry is both exhausting and uplifting, the ultimate ballet of perfectly executed violence. Gareth wanted to do a documentary about Silat, saw what these guys were doing and thought “fuck it, let’s make a movie”.
Mad Dog is a very well known stunt man, actor and martial artist. In John Wick 3 he played on of the bad guys. Once you watched the second Raid, maybe give Ong Bak a try. Also very, very well done action movies.
This is what you get when you have people at the helm who know their shit. Shoutout to all the boys in the film who put their bodies on the line. Even the random henchmen are excellent in this
Hey guys! Big fan of you guys here from Malaysia! It's always flattering to see you reacting on Asian films, and the Raid is definitely one of the most underrated action flicks of the decade. May I suggest a Malaysian action-buddy cop film for you guys to react on? It's called Polis Evo 3, it was released in 2023 to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Really looking forward to your reactions, if you guys are doing it! ☺️
THIS movie is lethal. No dramatic posing...no air grabbin' symbolism. Just...kickass ACTION! You would think that the human body would just stop functioning after so many bone crushing blows. Stamina must be off the charts...talk about super soldier serum. If Captain America fought like this...DAY am! Must admit.. ALL these players are artists...pure mayhem and great visuals. The action sells the impact and the knife skills. Bravo! Refreshing to see you lads get schooled on the International offerings for action. Raid 2 is just as dynamic.
And the interesting thing is the action style of John Wick inspired by The Raid movie. The Raid influences so many hollywood movie like Captain America winter soldier, batman, green arrow, dare devil and others, . If you watch how yayan throws the opponent who strangle the neck from behind with jumping, so many movie use that move after it performed by Yayan in this movie.
Yoooo!! One of the best movies of all freaking time!! leggo.. Those boys from LINKIN PARK did a great job on the SCORES and Background music, absolute goosebumps!!
30:00 I'm indonesian and the translation is correct though one small mistake which I think makes the meaning of the english sub more timid. He said, "And what would it mean to you..." but I think the better translation would be, "And I want to see his face...". And then he says, "...if you were to die in front of him." but I think a better translation on what he said is, "...if I were to saw/slit your throat in front of him.". Makes him even more menacing imo.
actually it's quite easy to find people who can do stunts like that in Indonesia, I went to my relative's place three times, he took me to look around his house, almost every village has at least one place for learning martial arts.
I have been waiting for you guys to watch this for a while, and i wasn't disappointed. You all seemed to like all the main bits i was wishing for. Great fun guys. Can't wait for RAID 2
You might saw the villain mad dog from john wick 4 movie. Also you guess correctly the actor are mostly martial artist with some being a master of silat (indonesian traditional martial art). You wont see silat that often in western media specially in mma match due to its ferocity clashing to UFC rule.
As I’m sure has already been said many times over: Dredd (2012) is the “western remake” in many ways, and for more hallway fights see “Oldboy” (either one), which in turn inspired scenes in “Repo” and the show “Daredevil”, not to mention “Snowpiercer” (tho a train is sort of just one big a hallway so unavoidable parallels). Think that sums it up
All the fighters were students at the Pencak Silat school that Yayan Ruan (Mad Dog) runs and some train with Iko Uwais (Rama), for example the guy in the red hoodie, machete and wild eyes is actually an architect they aren't professional stunt men, and they actually make contact in the fights, but hold back the power and that's why you don't get loads of cuts etc.
FYI Iko Uwais : cast in mile 22, and exp4ndable 4 Yayan Ruhian : Cast in Jhon Wick 3, the one with other guy fight Jhon in glass house. Joe Taslim : Cast in fast and furious 6 as Bad Guy. Fight scene in subway and inside the truck
The reason why the choreography is awesome is because Jaka (the MC) and Mad Dog are actually silat practitioner in real life. Iko Uwais aka Jaka is actually silat practitioner and silat champion. Weirdly enough, he was a truck driver before being recruited as actor by gareth evans,.Yayan Ruhian aka Mad Dog, was a silat practitioner and used to be instructor for Paspamres (President's bodyguard unit), so you know he is the real deal.
You guys did recognize Mad Dog, who was in John Wick 3, but one of the guys he killed was played by Joe Taslim, the cop who got his neck snapped, and he was in Fast & Furious 6 and was Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat. This movie is so monumental in the action genre that quite a few of the actors got significant Hollywood roles after.
A few actors here were in John Wick movies and Mortal Kombat movie. These guys are incredible fighters and stunt men. This movie is a brilliant action film. I think some staff that worked on John Wick, admitted to taking a few moves here. They even took the above camera shot angle during a fight scene in John Wick 4, but did it with guns instead.. Good reaction boys.
That scene wasn't inspired by The Raid, it was inspired by Bullet Hell video games such as Hotline Miami. They even got an actual video game level designer to help plan the scene.
@@billbill6094 yeah ofcourse because giving low budget, indie, bollywood or even an Indonesia movie credit is what the western directors are known to do. 🙄
One of my favorite martial arts movies and really put Iko Uwai on the map. This one is put together better, I feel, than the second film, but the second film has my favorite ending fight scene, so I can't wait for you guys to get to that one too. This is similar in structure to the movie, Dredd, which is also really good, just replace martial arts with more fun action. The more... visceral deaths in this, are during filming, what they called "punch lines" like writing a joke. Glad you enjoyed.
This film emphasizes silat martial arts movements. The principle of fighting is to exploit the opponent's weak points quickly with the aim of paralyzing the opponent until he is helpless. All the techniques he has only have one goal, namely to survive and kill the opponent. The martial art of silat is more than effective and deadly and even seems cruel. that's why professional MMA fighting bans it. although its professional use is only among the Indonesian military for close combat situations. sometimes it looks beautiful in art shows. everyone knows that films are just dramatic images

Apparently the guy who looks like he breaks his back was actually injured, but was back before they finished filming the movie.

Mad dog was in John Wick and he has an impressive resume. The guy that fought him was Sub-zero in the new Mortal Kombat movie
yeah he had to dumb down so much to make Keanu look good lol
Also a main badass character in Warrior, the show based on Bruce Lee's writings and produced by his daughter.
This the movie when most reactor say "oohhh.. ahhhh... ohhhh..."
When rating fight choreographies, The Raid is what comes to mind as the best example of how it should be done. The action here has yet to be replicated in Hollywood. Imagine if, let’s say, superhero movies had this level of choreography. It would be so brilliant
The best choreography in a superhero project wasn't even a movie, it was in the Daredevil show which was highly inspired by _this movie._ Silat is even one of that version of Daredevil's main styles.
The Batman also has action choreography mixed from Silat from Indonesia,
The closest hollywood has gotten is John Wick
@@BranDZ7yeah John Wick definitely improved the fire arms action scenes but I'd say their hand to hand combat scenes are still a bit too rigid (which is possibly due to Keanu's age and I don't blame him, he's doing great work!). If they bring Iko Uwais into the Wick universe, however, and make him a new force to be reckoned with then that be great
Fun fact, and what made me aware of this film, the score was done by Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park. Such an epic film that gave worldwide recognition to some incredible stunt performers.
Another fun fact, Iko Uwais (the main actor) is also a world champion in Silat demonstration, the martial art he uses in the film. This film also catapult him and the stunt team onto the world stage and they have done quite a few action films and stunt choreography in major film, since this.
Also, never trust the white guy in a foreign film
What John Wick is for guns The Raid is for hand to hand combat
Facts 😅
What The Raid did for action movies is why we ended up with John Wicks instead of the early 2000's industry-standard Jason Bourne 250 shakycam jumpcuts in each fight.
One of the best action movies in the last 24 year's
There is a movie that came out around the same time.”Warriors of the rainbow” title is not great with all the lgbt crap around,but it’s an epic Taiwanese story of guerrilla fighting against the japs.Movie is way better than expected.
What action movie came out in 2000 that you think blows this out the water?
@@billbill6094in terms of pure action, I can't think of any movie beating this. 😂
@@egomana9329 Yea.. this movie hit different
100s of millions dollars cant replace great choreography/dedication/training/Skill and the Patience to make it look good.
All three main actors were professional martial art athletes. Mad Dog n Rama's fight mostly use Pencak Silat martial art. Jaka (the sergeant) was a taekwondo athlete. Yayan Ruhiyan (yeyen rooheeyen) is actively making fight coreography in many movies, and he still train in his Pencak Silat dojo. Thank you for making one of my requests come true, boys! Can not wait until you watch The Raid 2. I know you'll love it more 😎
Sorry, just correcting your information a bit. Joe Taslim (Jaka) was previously a Judo Athlete who was also a member of the Indonesian national judo team
one of my favourite movies of all time. I remember reading the back of the dvd case and reading "7 minutes of drama, 113 minutes of action" or something along those lines lol
Mad dog vs the brothers is maybe the greatest single fight i have ever seen in a movie. It is truly insane
I am gleefully telling my job that I'm putting in my two-weeks notice today, and this reaction is the shot of adrenaline I'm waking up with. I deserve better than that place, and after five years it's time to acheive it. Let's go!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good luck & never ever be in a place ur not happy in. It's ur life and u only have one shot at it so do what makes u happy & I wish u the best!!
@@BaddMedicineThere is two of these they use Silat in these movies.Mad Dog plays in part two also as a different character and plays in John Wick three.The cop that got killed by Mad Dog is Joe Taslim he played Sub Zero in the new Mortal Kombat movie and he plays in the tv show Warrior that has three seasons and is on netflix.
His brother was smiling in the end because he was the one who bought the higher ups to get control over the whole business (he also said you don't kill cops you buy them) , you can see he realised it was his brother all along in the last shot .
Fun fact: The guy who played Jaka (Joe Taslim) also played Sub Zero in the latest Mortal Kombat movie
And Li Yong in warrior
Also in Fast Furious 6 and Star Trek Beyond
The Raid 2 is simply the best action movie ever made. Can't wait for you guys to experience it and to react to it.
I concur doctor.
Facts!! I'm sure you guys will love it just as much.
Oh hell yeah!!!!! You DEFINITELY have to watch the sequel. The Raid 2 is an actual action epic
Second is better
Mad Dog, the villain, he plays in John Wick 3. Jaka, the good cop, plays as Sub Zero in the last Mortal Combat. And Rama, the main character, plays in Fast n Furious, Star Trek, and many other Hollywood movies.
Jaka also plays as a villain in fast n furious
@@gilangazhari6589 Ah, yes! You are right! Thanks :D
And he was the fight choreographer for this movie and for John Wick 3 and I think he always is for the movies he plays.
@@diogosoares8156 True that!
Iko Uwais who plays Rama isn't in Star Trek and Fast an Furious but he was in Star Wars VII , Snake Eyes and Expendables 4
I'm Indonesian, and I saw this back at theatres when it premiered. Indonesian cinema was kind of in a weird spot then with a lot cheap copy of horror parody movies with heavy sexual themes releasing every other week. So when The Raid released it was like a breath much needed fresh air, and things were elevated since then, including the sequel, Raid 2 , which was even crazier, if you can believe that. Excited for guys to react to the sequel!
fun fact, Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian) was once a pencak silat martial arts trainer for the Indonesian Presidential Security Forces
"This has to be the most epic fight scene I've ever seen"
And then they saw the Raid 2.
Interesting note: The Raid 2 was supposed to be the Raid 1, Gareth Evans original vision was for that to be the first movie, however they couldn't get the budget for it, so he went back and developed this, which gave them basically a blank check for the 2nd film. And it shows, the cinematography in the 2nd film sets the bar for action films to another level as well. That's not all, the 2nd film fills out in areas this one was unable to...even though it's an amazing film.
Jeff Speakman! Great callback from the Oak!
Really cool to hear that you had a fairly extensive martial arts background growing up. I was also into Taekwondo in my teens but didn't have the drive to go for too long.
Raid is a great action showpiece and a testament to the Indonesian action movie ecosystem.
This movie is my all time favorite. When he slit the thigh and knocked dudes head down the wall will always be my #1 fight scene!! Can’t wait for you bro watch next the next chapter!!
And now you get to do "The Raid 2." That was the movie Gareth Evans wanted to make, but couldn't get the backing, so he made "The Raid:Redmption" as a kind of proof of concept for the second movie. IMO, it is the rare sequel that outdoes the original.
This is some of the best martial arts in film you will see, Raid 2 takes it up another level if you can believe it!
Bro this film is an action movie lover's wet dream. Freakin s tier fighting film
The sequel are even crazier hahaha thank you for this reaction, really loving your channel
The Raid has some of the most visceral fight scenes out there. This really put Indonesians and Silat on the map for me. That was sick.
This movie is an adrenaline masterpiece and thankfully the second one is just as great. Director Gareth Evans is an incredible action director. You should DEFINITELY check out the sequel and also Gareth’s TV series Gangs of London…. Both are WOW!!! So glad you guys loved it. Great reaction!
You guys badly need to check out Warrior (TV show) if you liked this!
It’s basically a show about Chinese tongs in 19th century San Francisco based on Bruce Lee’s original treatment for what became the TV show Kung-Fu. Joe Taslim (Jaka in The Raid) is one of the key antagonists, Andy Koji from Bullet Train is the lead, and it’s produced by Shannon Lee, Bruce’s daughter, and Justin Lin, who directed most of the good Fast & Furious movies.
The show is just wild, with tons of action, and really stellar acting.
When people say "this is pure action movie", they mean "this is PURE ACTION movie"
That's the actor who played Jaka also played Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat, if you didn't notice.
This was quite a blood thirsty, but was a bloody good film! Been enjoying all the Asian shows/films you've been doing lately! May I suggest 'House of Flying Daggers' film possibly for the future?
Great content as always!
As a fellow Indonesian myself, this movie is very special to me. Growing up with Jackie Chan and such, to having Iko representing what me and my cousins always wanted to be as kids is just special! Always makes me happy to see people react to it as well
for those who don't know, the actor who played Jaka (the team leader) in this film also played Sub-Zero in latest Mortal Kombat movie. his name is Joe Taslim
Y'all are killing me w this movie. Ur facial expressions have me in tears😂 & at some point i lost count of how many times u actually yelled out ooh or aaww!! Great reaction. This movie has the most amazing fight choreography ive seen in quite a while. Love it❤💞❤️
Can't wait for you guys to start The Raid 2 and meet The Siblings. My favorite duo in action movies of all time!
The best martial art action movie ever made in my opinion.
When me and my friends first saw this movie, it felt like we just discovered fire
I'm so happy yall watched this movie! It's like when you share your fav song with a friend for the first time lol
Wait until you watch Raid 2😂
THIS IS, BY FAR, the best reaction I've seen for this classic action flick!! Great Job guys!
If I remember correctly, this was called the best action movie of all time, or of the century? Short century though.
This movie inspired some much needed changes in modern action films.
i’m an indonesian and i know this movie is probably our most famous one (internationally), but i never actually get myself to watch it. 13 years later, i’m seriously going to watch it so i can watch your reaction.
Seriusan? Kemana aja kamu, yallah, sayang banget 13 tahun ini belum nonton... Sangat disayangkan 😭
Tapi combat kaya the raid, demi allah ga bakal lekang di makan jaman, the raid jadi batas terbaik film action.
I won passes at work to see The Raid as a advanced screening a few days before its theatrical release.i knew nothing about it, didn't see the trailer or anything. It blew my mind. It sets a high bar for action/martial arts movies. It's so damn good
Jaka, played by Joe Taslim. Bi Han from Mortal Kombat, Jah from F&F6, and Li Yong from Warrior.
Also multi-time Judo medal winner.
Warrior 🔥🔥🔥
The choreography in this movie is INSANE.
This film is so bloody good. I havnt seen the other one tho.
That door kill is so iconic.
Watch it, it's real good
Watch it bro its so much better
That thigh stab-and-rip is one of the nastiest takedowns I've ever seen in my life
That doorframe RKO was always my favorite “OHHH” moment of this movie. Sooo good.
Also please watch HARDCORE HENRY! You want a movie that is literally non stop, that’s your movie. It’s also got the unique element of being shown entirely from the first person perspective.
@BaddMedicine The head cop (Joe Taslim) was in Fast and Furious 6, and he was also Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat (2021). Check him out in the hit series "Warrior".
TOP TIER ACTION MOVIE!! The sequel is also INCREDIBLE, the choreography is unreal in these movies (just pure ACTION).
The Raid 2 is the magnum opus...the Godfather part II of this. The story really opens up the (under)world that the first one was taking place in, and the action is AMAZING!!! Tou guys will love it!! Baseball boy and Hammer girl...that's all I'm going to say!!
The guy who plays Mad Dog, the villain that 1v2s our brothers, is the stunt coordinator for the Raid films, and was in John Wick 3. He's one of the gnarliest stunt coordinators in the world, honestly, and the Raid 2 cements him that title.
Oh boy are you in for a ride with the sequel.
EDIT: And you absolutely should watch Dredd from 2012. Very similar story but extremely different execution. No pun intended.
i was also thinking of Dredd. it's great
I genuinely can't believe you gents haven't seen this movie and its sequel! Without trying to colour your opinions, both those movies were probably the best martial arts movies of their entire decade.
Ah so the three stars of this movie went on to have pretty decent careers in action. Joe Taslim will be seen this year in Mortal Kombat 2. He's subzero and was clearly the best part of the movie (Ok, the best part of the movie was definitely Josh Lawson's Kano, he was absolutely hilarious).
Iko Uwais is always really impressive in whatever he's in though he's often the only shining light of an otherwise terrible movie. I'm hoping that changes though!
Anyway, can't wait to for y'all to watch the sequel. If you want recommendations after that, Ong Bak. Ong Bak stars Tony Jaa and that man is unbelieveable. I think there's a movie called Triple Threat which also stars Iko but I haven't watched that yet.
Fun facts:
The raid was choreographed by the lead antagonist and the lead protagonist, Yayan and Iko. Both are actual pencak silat champions, the martial art showcased in the movie, its like muy thai with knives.
The crazy eyes machete gang leader is a bare knuckle boxing champion.
None of the guns had blanks. They were all modified airsoft models, muzzle flash was added in post, recoil was acted by the crew.
It was written in English by Gareth Edwards, the Welsh director, and then translated into Indonesian.
watched this when it came out in 2012, couldn’t believe my eyes nor could I shut up talking about it. To me, the hallmark of MA action moves. Its artistry is both exhausting and uplifting, the ultimate ballet of perfectly executed violence.
Gareth wanted to do a documentary about Silat, saw what these guys were doing and thought “fuck it, let’s make a movie”.
Mad Dog is a very well known stunt man, actor and martial artist. In John Wick 3 he played on of the bad guys. Once you watched the second Raid, maybe give Ong Bak a try. Also very, very well done action movies.
This is what you get when you have people at the helm who know their shit.
Shoutout to all the boys in the film who put their bodies on the line. Even the random henchmen are excellent in this
Hey guys! Big fan of you guys here from Malaysia! It's always flattering to see you reacting on Asian films, and the Raid is definitely one of the most underrated action flicks of the decade.
May I suggest a Malaysian action-buddy cop film for you guys to react on? It's called Polis Evo 3, it was released in 2023 to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Really looking forward to your reactions, if you guys are doing it! ☺️
Never😂😂
THIS movie is lethal. No dramatic posing...no air grabbin' symbolism. Just...kickass ACTION! You would think that the human body would just stop functioning after so many bone crushing blows. Stamina must be off the charts...talk about super soldier serum. If Captain America fought like this...DAY am! Must admit.. ALL these players are artists...pure mayhem and great visuals. The action sells the impact and the knife skills. Bravo! Refreshing to see you lads get schooled on the International offerings for action. Raid 2 is just as dynamic.
You can find REZA at the RAID 2

- THE NIGHT COMES FOR US
- HEADSHOT
Iko uwais is a badass
In the Raid one of the
Greatest martial artists
Goosebumps moments
In every scene in dis🔥🔥
And the interesting thing is the action style of John Wick inspired by The Raid movie. The Raid influences so many hollywood movie like Captain America winter soldier, batman, green arrow, dare devil and others, . If you watch how yayan throws the opponent who strangle the neck from behind with jumping, so many movie use that move after it performed by Yayan in this movie.
Yoooo!! One of the best movies of all freaking time!! leggo.. Those boys from LINKIN PARK did a great job on the SCORES and Background music, absolute goosebumps!!
0:56 As a watch nerd (who owns that same Hamilton X-Mach), watching Mason mistake it for an S-Force was torturous.
30:00
I'm indonesian and the translation is correct though one small mistake which I think makes the meaning of the english sub more timid. He said, "And what would it mean to you..." but I think the better translation would be, "And I want to see his face...". And then he says, "...if you were to die in front of him." but I think a better translation on what he said is, "...if I were to saw/slit your throat in front of him.". Makes him even more menacing imo.
This is the best action movies ive ever watched def my fav, im glad yall react to this
actually it's quite easy to find people who can do stunts like that in Indonesia, I went to my relative's place three times, he took me to look around his house, almost every village has at least one place for learning martial arts.
New drinking game: take a shot everytime the gang says "AHHHHH!! OOHHHHH!!!
I have been waiting for you guys to watch this for a while, and i wasn't disappointed. You all seemed to like all the main bits i was wishing for. Great fun guys. Can't wait for RAID 2
You might saw the villain mad dog from john wick 4 movie. Also you guess correctly the actor are mostly martial artist with some being a master of silat (indonesian traditional martial art). You wont see silat that often in western media specially in mma match due to its ferocity clashing to UFC rule.
Everytime when someone react the raid
"Awww" "ehhh" 😂 nice horror movie btw 😂
As I’m sure has already been said many times over: Dredd (2012) is the “western remake” in many ways, and for more hallway fights see “Oldboy” (either one), which in turn inspired scenes in “Repo” and the show “Daredevil”, not to mention “Snowpiercer” (tho a train is sort of just one big a hallway so unavoidable parallels). Think that sums it up
The Raid 2 is absolutely fucking insane when it comes to camera work
All the fighters were students at the Pencak Silat school that Yayan Ruan (Mad Dog) runs and some train with Iko Uwais (Rama), for example the guy in the red hoodie, machete and wild eyes is actually an architect they aren't professional stunt men, and they actually make contact in the fights, but hold back the power and that's why you don't get loads of cuts etc.
FYI
Iko Uwais : cast in mile 22, and exp4ndable 4
Yayan Ruhian : Cast in Jhon Wick 3, the one with other guy fight Jhon in glass house.
Joe Taslim : Cast in fast and furious 6 as Bad Guy. Fight scene in subway and inside the truck
I feel like for a lot of these guys this was their breaktrough movie. I've spotted a lot of them in movies that came after this like John Wick.
Mason Quinn: "We're making this movie. How many stunt men do we need?"
Viggo: "How many do you have?"
The reason why the choreography is awesome is because Jaka (the MC) and Mad Dog are actually silat practitioner in real life. Iko Uwais aka Jaka is actually silat practitioner and silat champion. Weirdly enough, he was a truck driver before being recruited as actor by gareth evans,.Yayan Ruhian aka Mad Dog, was a silat practitioner and used to be instructor for Paspamres (President's bodyguard unit), so you know he is the real deal.
Hope Oldboy (2003 film) gets a chance would love to see a reaction to that
And NOT the remake.
You guys did recognize Mad Dog, who was in John Wick 3, but one of the guys he killed was played by Joe Taslim, the cop who got his neck snapped, and he was in Fast & Furious 6 and was Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat. This movie is so monumental in the action genre that quite a few of the actors got significant Hollywood roles after.
Let’s Go one of the best action movies ever
A few actors here were in John Wick movies and Mortal Kombat movie. These guys are incredible fighters and stunt men. This movie is a brilliant action film. I think some staff that worked on John Wick, admitted to taking a few moves here. They even took the above camera shot angle during a fight scene in John Wick 4, but did it with guns instead..
Good reaction boys.
That scene wasn't inspired by The Raid, it was inspired by Bullet Hell video games such as Hotline Miami. They even got an actual video game level designer to help plan the scene.
@@billbill6094 yeah ofcourse because giving low budget, indie, bollywood or even an Indonesia movie credit is what the western directors are known to do. 🙄
One of my favorite martial arts movies and really put Iko Uwai on the map. This one is put together better, I feel, than the second film, but the second film has my favorite ending fight scene, so I can't wait for you guys to get to that one too. This is similar in structure to the movie, Dredd, which is also really good, just replace martial arts with more fun action. The more... visceral deaths in this, are during filming, what they called "punch lines" like writing a joke. Glad you enjoyed.
RIP for the villain, he's been doing great as antagonist in his entire career
51:10 YES!!!! Jeff Speakman....aka...The Perfect Weapon! Loved that freakin movie when i was a teenager!!
This film emphasizes silat martial arts movements. The principle of fighting is to exploit the opponent's weak points quickly with the aim of paralyzing the opponent until he is helpless. All the techniques he has only have one goal, namely to survive and kill the opponent. The martial art of silat is more than effective and deadly and even seems cruel. that's why professional MMA fighting bans it. although its professional use is only among the Indonesian military for close combat situations. sometimes it looks beautiful in art shows. everyone knows that films are just dramatic images
Love this one. My favorite 💀 is Rama jumping backwards and pulling that guy down onto the broken doorway. Can't wait for Raid 2!
The Balustrade Back Breaker at 20:18 gets pretty much the same reaction from everyone.
