I didn't like the first Raid movie much - how similar is the action in the sequel to the action in the first one? My problem with the action in the first movie is that every fight seemed overly drawn out, and every opponent seemed like a complete martial-arts master. Maybe it's just a convention of the genre or something, but I was expecting Rama to be dispatching people left-and-right with efficient, economical, brutal-looking hits that flat-out put people down and kept them down. Instead even the lowliest opponent he faced was able to take extreme punishment and get right back up as if they'd never been hit at all, and it made Rama look less competent. The fights felt drawn-out for the sake of throwing more punches - it made most of them a chore to watch. I'm not saying there weren't good fights in the movie (the 2v1 fight against Mad Dog, and when Mad Dog kills Jaka, were both great), it was just that the "Rama vs Generic Thug #24" fights were overly long and lovely.

I just re-watched the hallway fight on youtube and it's better than I remember it (mostly because he has a knife and he's stabbing people - the moment he loses the knife on the last 2 opponents, it starts to drift towards what I'm talking about), but the meth lab fight has a lot of what I was talking about. There sure are a whole lot of generic unnamed martial arts badasses in that meth lab.
