    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After over fifty-five film and television credits, this was Denzel Washington's first sequel.
    • Goofs
      Clearly visible during the final 15 minutes of film, during the final shootout in a hurricane, David is on the tower, exposed to the hurricane rains and winds, yet never gets wet. McCall does not get wet either even though he runs through the hurricane wind and rain for the final 15 minutes. The three other bad guys are clearly soaking wet as they seek McCall out, but Dave and McCall never are wet at any time.
    • Quotes

      Robert McCall: There are two kinds of pain in this world. The pain that hurts, the pain that alters.

      [In Turkish]

      Robert McCall: Today, you get to choose.

    • Alternate versions
      Most UK releases are pre-cut for a 15 certificate, reducing scenes of "strong violence and gore". The following footage was removed, totaling 11s of cuts:
      • an already broken arm being further twisted
      • two knives being pulled upwards in a man's body at the end of a stabbing
      • a gory shot of insides hanging out after an explosion
      • a man's spine being severed before he's thrown off a building
      The 4K version is uncut and rated 18.

    "Same mud, same blood"

    Preserves the spirit of the first one while telling its own story. This is a good new chapter and all I was hoping for.
