Quick question. Is it essential to have watched the first one before you watch number two?

Quite honestly I would say no. Some people are bound to diagree with me on that being that part 2 picks up directly where the first film left off. However when people say this you can imagine it like a couple of back to back episodes of 24 - an episode ends on a cliffhanger and within 10 mins of the start of the next episode, the cliffhanger element that got you all worried about what will happen next has been resolved. It's the same here with The Raid 2 in my opinion. I also don't believe it's essential because well, the plot of the original wasn't all that substantial and while the start of the sequel frames the aftermath of the first film, its pretty much just a few pieces put in play to get things moving again.

I HAVE seen the 1st one, but not a while, thanks for the answer I wasnt sure myself if I should watch it again before the 2nd.

Not really. You could pick up the plot quite easily just watching the second one, and you'd only really miss one or two character things that carry over. But the first film is genuinely an excellent action flick, so I can't think of a good reason for not watching it first, if only because it's such a joy to watch.

also got mine today. great steelbook for a great movie!!
this could turn out to be one hell of a franchise if they maintain the excellent production quality and continue with the top quality steelbooks we've been given so far.
here's hoping for more, although i think it's safe to say that's a no brainer!!!!!

Mine arrived today with a nasty dent in the front

Watched it last night. Still an amazing experience...I got sweaty during the final boss fight Steel itself is nice, agree with sentiments that it's really not as appealing as the original's but it still beats the hell (over the head with a hammer) out of all the other cover art I've seen and gets points from me for being consistent with the Play steel of the original.

I actually hope that they finish with it and don't continue making them. I'd be more than content with there just being these 2.

My mistake yes there's 114 left, hopefully that's enough for people with damaged copies to get a replacement

Not essential. Just minor characters references, but no major plot links.

Gareth Evans has confirmed that after his current project, there will be a third Raid film which will finish off the story for good.

Got mine yesterday, together with divergent, happy they were posted and packed together, watched this last night and it's amazing, I'm my opinion better than the first, x

 

[works99]

Received my copy yesterday and watched it in the evening, great film.

Loved the Asian chick with the Hammers.

Roll on The Raid 3

 

[hellboydce1]

Just watched it, very good but still prefer The Raid, only problem with the steel is the spines don't quite match up.

 

[JackRegan]

Mine arrived Saturday morning along with Divergent in the same box, happily both undamaged.

Like the finish very much, art parallels the first one too - Just need someone to sell me a copy of that somewhere along the line and I'll be a happy bunny

Got mine today. It is simple but I still love it always great to get some more deboss steels not enough if you ask me.
