Goto arranges to meet up with this old mafia boss (played by) Christine Hakim, who has trained killers in her jungle retreat. “They go off into hiding, all the way to the jungles of West Java. Goto has no idea that this right-hand man has betrayed him and set him up for the ambush.
This is fucking crazy, what do I do?’ The call from HQ is, ‘Keep him still, keep him close, we’ll send people to take care of it, and if you do that for us, you can take over his turf.’ The attack goes wrong – it’s a kill squad from Japan who have turned up and taken out the Gotos. The idea was that the right-hand man, after being told to kill off all the politicians and cops and wipe the clean slate, would call back to Tokyo to the big huge boss, and be like, ‘Goto’s going fucking nuts. Goto, his son, and his right-hand man are the only remaining survivors from that attack, and it cuts to credits and says ‘ The Raid 3’. And you stay with the Japanese gang, who are like, ‘What the fuck do we do now? Everyone’s dead, we’ve got no-one to kill.’ They get into their car, and as they’re driving along all of a sudden this other car rocks up alongside them and just blitzes them, and the cars crash. He walks away to Bunawar, who’ll be waiting for him in his car, he gets in and drives away.
The Raid 3 would begin with Rama coming out of that building after having killed everybody and saying ‘No, I’m done’. “The story was going to go back in time to the moment in The Raid 2 when the Goto Gang, the Japanese gang, are having a meeting, and Goto tells his right-hand man to take care of it, wipe out every corrupt cop and politician that they have on the books and start fresh. Take some responsibility and be a father for a change!”Įvans, who instead followed up The Raid 2 with his Dan Stevens-led weirdfest, Apostle, then happily told us all what would have gone down in The Raid 3, should it ever have materialized. It just can’t, because if he does something to pull himself away from his poor fucking wife and kid again, I’d be like, “Hmm, you sort of deserve to die now really. “I couldn’t fathom of another fucking reason why he would put his life at risk and separate himself from his fucking wife and kid again,” he explained. Well, from Evans’ point of view, he didn’t really think Rama’s story had any gas left in the tank after the conclusion of the second film. As huge fans of both of Evans’ Raid movies and watching people get kicked in the face, it’s certainly a question we’ve asked ourselves. The conversation soon turned to why there hasn’t been a third film featuring Jakarta’s ‘rookie’ special tactics officer Rama ( Iko Uwais) kicking people in the face.
