    A classic. I don’t feel too badly about Dredd’s lack of box office sizzle since it copied ‘The Raid’ a bit too much.

    Dredd was shooting in November 2010, before The Raid was even close to shooting. It was just bad timing.

    I’m all or creative sequel titles but ‘Berandal’??? Just call it The Raid part II.

    Considering all the facts, it looks highly likely that The Raid in fact copied from Dredd. Dredd was in production long before The Raid, it was took longer to come out, probably due to post-production FX.
