Member OldPangYau Posted March 10, 2014 Member Share Posted March 10, 2014 Unfortunately, the screening @ SXSW was cancel due to subtitling issues but they reissue two more screenings tomorrow... Yeah, I read about that At first, all I saw was "wrong version of the movie", making me think they were playing the Sundance cut and Evans wanted the slightly updated US cut... but nope, saw that it was playing without subtitles. Oops. Oh well, "take 2" tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Noelle Shadow Kick Posted March 11, 2014 Member Share Posted March 11, 2014 Gareth Evans put up the first of two behind-the-scenes videos! Ahhhh I'm just so excited. http://id.celebrity.yahoo.com/video/di-balik-layar-raid-2-033047019.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted March 11, 2014 Member Share Posted March 11, 2014 What I don't find appealing is in some of these reviews, they keep referring to western filmmakers but instead should reference the film's Asian counterparts? How about some Kitano or Miike reference? Even some John Woo or To. I've only read one review out of the hundreds so far that even mentions anything related to Asian cinema and that is Badassdigest because they do their fucking homework. So please critics stop referencing Scorsese,Refn,Tarantino,Coppola, this is not that film, or maybe it is???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the raves about the trailer and not one mention of the OBVIOUS Park Chan-wook homage (Oldboy chalked man fisticuffs). If you don't know what that is, I suggest you just shut up, watch and enjoy the movie like everyone else and stop trying to do all that other stuff. This is a genre defining film and can speak for itself just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, the only thing remotely spoilerish was the escalator headshot... even then, we don't see who gets shot I watched the whole thing, and it didn't give away any giant plot points.

Member Tosh Posted March 13, 2014 Member Share Posted March 13, 2014 I can not wait for this, keep looking to see where(or if) it's going to be playing locally, guess I'll have to wait for end of March. The Raid played in Boca Raton so I'm hoping it comes back to the same theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raid played in Boca Raton so I'm hoping it comes back to the same theater. If the official site for the sequel is anything like the first, it should start listing the theater locations prior to the limited release, and then begin expanding. It seems to be following the release steps of the first film verbatim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member OldPangYau Posted March 13, 2014 Member Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would go except for the whole, you know, living on the east coast thing Meanwhile, the first US TV spot premiered today... and it's crazy how brutal it is! A lot of new (albeit, split second) clips packed in there, including an awesome glass crash from the final fight: http://www.craveonline.com/film/previews/659193-the-raid-2-exclusive-action-packed-tv-spot Also, it confirms the wide release isn't until April 11th in the US.

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted March 18, 2014 Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 There's a new clip online today and if I learned anything from the previous film is to not watch before seeing the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted March 18, 2014 Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, I already watched the clip It's only 26 seconds long, but it's already gory as hell. I'll probably check out other clips too, except for any from the two final fights... aside from trailers showing split second shots of those two fights, I don't plan on watching full clips from either one.
