As I noted above, the original film takes some care to show that male bonding and rivalry were central to the rape. The men's mean-spiritedly jovial desire to "help out" sad sack Matthew by using Jennifer to deflower him; their need to impress Johnny, the way they only expressed their emotions for each other (whether affection, dislike, or envy) through aggression and humiliation—it's those interactions in the first film which power the men's misogyny and violence. And the film also takes pains to show these impulses as unremarkable. In a scene before the rape, where the men chat with each other, they don't appear dangerous. Indeed, they seem like naïve adolescents, wondering (mostly, but not entirely in jest) whether really sexy women shit or boasting about their plans to visit New York or Los Angeles. It is only in retrospect later in the film that the men's casual abuse of one another and their casual jibes at women appear ominous.
