History Film / TheRageCarrie2

* ShoutOut:
** Rachel's friend Artie is a shout out to Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Christine}}''.
** Mark imitates Ghostface's voice from ''Film/{{Scream 1996}}'' when he prank-calls Rachel.
** At the end of the film, Jesse is attending "[[Creator/StephenKing Kings]] University".

* ThemeNaming: There are characters named [[Series/{{Friends}} Rachel, Monica, and Bing]].

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Sadly enough, the JerkJock villains were based on an actual incident -- specifically, that of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spur_Posse Spur Posse]], a group of athletes at a California high school (so named because their leader was a fan of a player on the [[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation San Antonio Spurs]]) who used a point system to keep track of and compare their sexual conquests. Unlike this film's group of {{Asshole Victim}}s, the Spur Posse wound up not only [[KarmaHoudini being let off on charges of statutory rape]], but [[FifteenMinutesOfFame made the tabloid "trash TV" circuit afterwards]].

'''''The Rage: Carrie 2''''' is a 1999 {{horror}} film that serves as a direct sequel to ''{{Carrie}}'', starring Emily Bergl, Jason London and Mena Suvari.

* FootFocus: Rachel has several barefoot scenes, and they're usually accompanied by close ups of her feet.

** Rachel's friend Artie is a shout out to Creator/StephenKing's ''{{Christine}}''.

This film was part of the post-''Film/{{Scream}}'' wave of hip, [[{{Postmodernism}} post-modern]] teen horror films, and was [[DolledUpInstallment originally planned as a standalone film]] titled ''The Curse''. Some fans of the original film regard it as [[{{Sequelitis}} a stain on its legacy]], although others feel that it's SoBadItsGood, and still others feel that it's a worthy film in its own right. You make up your own mind.

* FollowTheLeader: The film followed in the wake of ''Film/{{Scream}}'' and other teen horror films.

** Mark imitates Ghostface's voice from ''Film/{{Scream}}'' when he prank-calls Rachel.

* DawsonCasting: 23-year-old Emily Bergl, 26-year-old Jason London, and 22-year-old Rachel Blanchard all playing teenagers. Mena Suvari, however, was 19 when the film was shot, not far from her character's age.

* GenderFlip: Mark, Tracy, and Eric are a gender-flipped version of the original film's high school villains, Chris, Billy, and Norma. Like Chris, Mark is the ringleader of the plan to humiliate the protagonist and has a personal grudge against her, while Tracy, like Billy, is the villain's equally nasty lover who goes along with the plan. Eric, meanwhile, is like Norma as the villain's comparatively likable, yet still evil, best friend.

* ImportantHaircut: Before the big game, the football team all shave their heads in an act of machismo. Jesse refuses to take part in it, symbolizing the divide between him and his teammates.

** LovableJock: Jesse rejects his teammates' boorish behavior, and develops genuine feelings for Rachel.

* ShoutOut: Rachel's friend Artie is a shout out to Creator/StephenKing's ''{{Christine}}''.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Sadly enough, the JerkJock villains were TruthInTelevision--they were based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spur_Posse Spur Posse]], a group of athletes at a California high school who used a point system to keep track of their sexual conquests, and wound up [[KarmaHoudini being let off on charges of statutory rape]].

A teen outcast named Rachel Lang sees her best friend Lisa kill herself after a JerkJock has sex with her in order to score points in a "game" he's playing with the rest of the team ([[RippedFromTheHeadlines based on a real event]], unfortunately). Rachel seeks revenge against the football players that caused her friend's suicide, and along the way, learns that she possesses psychic powers. She develops a crush on Jesse, one of the smarter football players, and the two enter a relationship, much to the ire of Jesse's teammates, who start plotting against Rachel. Meanwhile, the school's guidance counselor, Sue Snell (a survivor from the original film), finds out about Rachel's powers, and steps in to help her, fearing a repeat of what had happened before. The entire situation comes to a head at the after-party for a football game, where a tape is played of Rachel and Jesse having sex. [[BerserkButton It does not]] [[KillEmAll end well]].
