Interesting facts

ID2: Shadwell Army is a 2016 British football hooligan film made by Universal Pictures, directed by Joel Novoa, written by Vincent O'Connell and starring Simon Rivers, Linus Roache and Paul Popplewell. It is the sequel to the 1995 film I.D. and like its predecessor, it is set in the Shadwell area of London and follows a Muslim police officer who is sent undercover to infiltrate the hooligan gang connected to Shadwell Town Football club.

Production

Despite some exterior shots of Shadwell station being used, filming took place entirely in East Yorkshire in particularly Kingston upon Hull, with some minor scenes being shot in the nearby town of Beverley. Craven Park the home of Rugby League side Hull Kingston Rovers served as Shadwell Town's home ground "The Kennel", replacing the now derelict Millmoor in Rotherham which had been used in the previous film.

The pub used as "The Rock" in the original film was demolished shortly after filming, so the former Duke of Wellington in Hull was used, although the pub in the film was now called "La Chien".
