The Raid - Uncensored Trailer

[Adam.C]

Really want to see this. Will netflix this before a blind buy, but I have heard nothing but rave reviews.

Is this supposed to be a martial arts movie or what? IP Man is still my favorite, but is this much different from that?

[wickerjay]

Awesome! That date can't come soon enough.

[wickerjay]

That trailer in the OP sucks though. This one is way better:

O...M...G.. that movie looks NUTS... I think I may have to use some Columbiahouse Bonus points on this bad boy.

[Adrock]

That movie does look nuts. I think I might have to check it out.

Yeah, I decided to pre-order it as well.

Wow. Just saw on amazon the us cover for the raid. And now I'm sad.
I posted on the steelbook forms that if anybody is getting multiple copies of the steelcase to pm me since play.com won't ship to me. Amazing movie tho.

[brakefluid]

I'm gonna buy it, judging from the cover, it looks good!

While the cover on Amazon makes the movie look like a low budget PS One on-rails shooter, what intrigues me the most is that the film is now suddenly an "unrated edition".

From what I've been reading on IMDb, apparently the Indonesian version doesn't have quite the same muted colors as the US version, which implies that the blood actually has more of a proper red tone as opposed to the "swamp brown" it occasionally has in the US version.

The one scene that came up the most was when one of the SWAT officers' wounds is shown, it blatantly looks brown in the US version, but was a vivid red in the Indonesian version.

If you like action movies... blind buy the **** out of this. I saw this movie three times in theaters and it is intense! There's very little plot... very little character development... tons of fight scenes and a good amount of suspense.

The martial arts in this film are so well choreographed it's as if you're watching dance sequences. That's no BS... they are that good.

Do yourselves a favor and just buy this damn movie!

(This coming from a guy whose top 2 films of all time are Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's)

cant wait to see this.

Interesting. If this disc doesn't have the original color there is still hope UK disc will.

Yeah, I've also read that

[Show spoiler]the unrated cut features all the officers getting killed at the beginning in the hammer scene and more detail/close-up when Andi kills the other two thugs in the elevator.

Also, I am thrilled that the original Indonesian soundtrack will be on it. I only saw this in US cinemas with Shinoda's score and would like to experience it with the original music.

Cannot wait!

I went to see this in the theater and there was literally like 8 people. Three of them being my two friends and I. Cant believe people snoozed on this one..

[Visco.]

Can someone tell me if this movie has any disgusting scenes where people have their bones broken in this? Even of the littlest sound or shot of a broken bone makes me sick. It's a lot like how some people faint with blood. I bought this at best buy and I really want to see it but I read the parental guide and it sounds pretty gross. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it has the sounds of everything you can imagine breaking in a fight scene.
I'm surprised that this film didn't get slapped with an NC-17 rating, for continuous, graphic, disturbingly brutal violence.

BTW - If you can't stand the sound of broken bones, then you should also stay away from every movie that Jason Statham performs in.

[snoman_99]

can't wait for the sequel!!!!! we really enjoyed the film during its limited release in theaters with other people as they cheered and clapped .

Somebody over at IMDB, described The Raid: Redemption as, the "Star Wars" of action movies.
