After suffering a seemingly fatal injury at the end of Extraction, Chris Hemsworth's Rake was resurrected for the sequel. Just how did he survive?
Extraction 2 shouldn't exist. This is not a snide observation on the nature of Hollywood to generate sequels to highly successful films; rather it's a simple fact given the ending of the first film. A brief recap: Mercenary Tyler Rake was hired to spirit the son of a prominent drug kingpin through the city of Jakarta. He had to deal with rival mercenaries, street criminals, and severe wounds in the process.
The Opening Of Extraction 2 Is Dedicated To Tyler Rake's Resurrection Extraction 2 doesn't waste any time, picking up immediately after Rake's supposed death. His body washes up on the Jarkata shores, and he is immediately rescued by his handler Nik . Nik spares no expense when it comes to Rake's recovery, paying to have him flown out to a top hospital in Dubai.
Rake Is Fighting Mental Hurdles As Well As Physical Ones But even though Rake manages to overcome physical hurdles, he still has the demons of his past to shake off. A large part of the first Extraction dealt with Rake struggling with survivor's guilt over the death of his young son, engaging in death-seeking stunts like diving off a cliff. In fact, it's heavily implied that he took the Jakarta mission hoping to die.
