Torn Apart 2: Ranger Down! is a machinima film made using the Quake game engine. It was made by United Ranger Films in 1996. At the time of the film's creation, The Rangers (as they were known) were virtually the only group making movies in Quake (the term 'Quake Movies' or 'QMovies' became a common name for them). It is notable as the first movie of its kind to employ recorded speech for the characters, as in-game text messages had previously been used to represent subtitled speech - a practice that continued with early QMovies, but died down soon after.

The plot is very similar to the film that preceded it, Torn Apart. Once again, it involves several Rangers getting caught by fiends (controlled by players using a Quake patch to simulate the appearance of fiends), in the same map as in Torn Apart.

The film was due to be followed by a sequel filmed in Quake II, Torn Apart 3, but the film was never completed.
