FP2: Beats of Rage is a 2018 American comedy film and the sequel to the 2011 film The FP. Written, produced, and directed by Jason Trost, the film focuses on JTRO (Trost) and KCDC (Art Hsu), former members of the 248 gang, traveling through the Wastes to participate in the Beats of Rage tournament.

[edit]

According to Jason Trost, two sequels to The FP have been planned, the first of which would involve going to Hong Kong.[2] He said the first sequel would take place five years after the original and would feature more dancing and a Beat-Beat Revelation tournament.[3] He also compared the sequel's plot to that of Escape from L.A.[4] Trost also teased the possibility of a fourth film to come when he was older, comparing it to Rocky Balboa.[5] In August 2013, Trost said that both he and the film's investors had not received any money from The FP, and "probably never will". He further stated that it was challenging "to figure out a way to get people to fund a sequel to a movie that recouped zero dollars".[4]

In July 2017, Trost started an Indiegogo campaign to raise additional funds for the film, now titled Beats of Rage: The FP 2. The first thirty minutes had already been shot at the time of the posting, and the fundraising goal was set at $20,000, which was surpassed with over $34,000 donated.
