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. In order to supply alcohol to the citizens of Frazier Park, JTRO must play Beat-Beat Revelation—a music video game similar to Dance Dance Revolution—against AK-47, the leader of the Wastes. In addition to Trost and Hsu, Brandon Barrera and Nick Principe reprise their roles from the previous film. The film also features new cast members Mike O'Gorman, Tallay Wickham, and Bru Miller.

Trost spoke about creating a sequel to the first film, which he wrote and directed with his brother Brandon Trost, shortly after its release. Trost had planned two sequels to the film, with the first being set in Hong Kong. After several years struggling to get funding for the project due to the box office performance of the previous film, Trost began fundraising campaigns through crowdsourcing website Indiegogo and started production independently in 2017. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 22, 2018, and was self-released through Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo on May 23, 2019.
