The final fights of both films start with unarmed combat, with the villain beginning to lose, only to use a pair of knives to gain the upper hand. The damage to the heroes in both films is very similar as well, in that the villain slashes the hero's leg and right under the eye.

The fight sequence where Prakoso emerges from a nightclub into a surreal street scene buried beneath snow is an homage to the iconic sequence in Lady Snowblood.

The Raid 2 uses Handel's Sarabande Suite - a homage to Kubrick's film and an illustration of the movie's baroque, operatic style.

Both films' finales have the protagonist going rogue by infiltrating a restaurant used as a front for crime, while taking out the remaining top tier henchman before facing the main villain.

The "Baseball Bat Man" is reminiscent of the Baseball Furies gang.
