Crank 2: High Voltage...yeah that's right.
lv99ron | 2:23 PM on 01.03.2009 11 comments


If you saw the original Crank chances are you probably didn't think they would make a sequel. I mean the movie ends with the main character Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) falling out of a helicopter miles above LA, hitting a moving car with enough force to bounce at least 10 feet in the air before coming back down hard on the pavement right in front of the camera. After few moments he blinks and you hear a faint heartbeat. Now there is no way a man could survive this, let alone be in any shape for another balls to the wall adventure, blazing a trail of destruction and chaos through the busy streets of downtown LA. Well if you thought that, then you don't know Hollywood that well.

After his near death experience Chev is picked up by the Chinese mafia. They nurse him back to health because they plan to harvest his organs. Turns out the chemical that was suppose to kill him in the original movie somehow gave him a damn near unstoppable heart, and had some other interesting side effects on the rest of his inner workings. Chev comes to briefly on the operating table to see his heart removed, and replaced with an artificial one designed to keep him alive long enough to collect the rest of his organs, including his naughty bits. He escapes, and the chase is on as Chev hunts down the man that is transporting his heart. In the original Chev had to do whatever he could to keep his adrenalin flowing to keep his heart pumping. Things like driving through a busy mall, killing people, and sexing up Eve (Amy Smart) his girlfriend. This time around Chev needs to basically shock himself in order to charge up the battery in his artificial heart. You can already guess what that means, and yes it does mean more sexing of Amy Smart.

The first movie had over the top action and a very silly plot, but it all worked. Mainly because the director, writers, and actors new it was the silliest thing ever and they embraced it. This looks no different, outside of the fact that the plot is sillier and the action is more over the top. I mean the trailer has him giving some guy a shotgun enema, and him basically getting jump started by a car. COME ON PEOPLE!!! 2009, F@CK YEAH!!!

So far all I've found for it is the red band trailer. Which is full of boobs, ass, f bombs, violence, and just awesomeness. It is no where near SFW, so I will just add the link to it. Next to Watchmen this looks like one of the best movies coming out this year. So far anyway.

Lol. Damn, Crank IMO is one of Statham's best films. It crept under the radar of us, with no big screen fan fare. When I saw it, it was so crazy it would have made a great anime.

I'm so glad there's a sequel, as The Transporter is getting tired and Statham does have some talent under that husky voice.

Cheers for the link.

Crank was a piece of shit, and in my opinion, this will be a piece of shit too.

HURR WE'RE GOING FOR EDGY, HURF DURF TITS AND SEX

They weren't trying to be edgy. That's the problem most people have. They were trying to be as ridiculous as possible. Crank falls in line with Shoot Em Up. An over the top action movie, that is just so silly you won't take it seriously, which helps you enjoy it more.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
i'll watch it. the first i kinda liked.
Daxelman's Destructoid Blog
I'm going to take a whole bunch of drugs and watch the trailer, and then totally freak the fuck out.

Crank is awesome.
AlienGuy18's Destructoid Blog
That trailer made my day.

So ridiculous.
lv99ron's Destructoid Blog
I really enjoy action movies like this. Mainly because an action movie is not meant to make you think, or reflect on anything. That's why Ong Bak and Tom Gung Yoa were awesome. The silly plot was there to get you from one fight scene to the next.
Cowboy TTop's Destructoid Blog
That's it, yes, Crank is silly, but blissfully so. Very few films these days give you a silly plot without boring you to death. Indeed, its silly fun like Shoot Em Up.

Don't like don't watch, I know I'm up for another dose of Crank. I'm glad to see these kids of switch off and enjoy films coming back.

 about me

Well hello. My name is Ron, and yes i'm a nerd. Always have been always will be. Video games are my life. Without them i would probably be, I don't know outside playing sports, or doing something "constructive". I play action, adventure, survival horror, first person shooters, and just about anything else to raise my achievement score. At one point I was really big into rpgs, mainly the more obscure American releases. Now I prefer games that I can play in short bursts without having to worry about a long story to remember. And by short bursts I mean 4 -5 hours. I am an achievement whore. Can't stop won't stop. I like too many games, but if I had to choose a favorite I would have to say Dead Rising. On a hard day nothing brings a smile to my face quite like running over hundreds of the undead in a car, with the hood down. Then hoping out and killing more with my mega buster.

When I'm not playing games, I'm either on Myspace screwing around there, on Facebook screwing around there, or with friends. I enjoy going to the movies, hanging out, and going on adventures. Movies take up the second largest chunk of my life. I have a very odd taste in movies. mainly if the movie has something I really like or enjoy I label it as good. This is why I like movies like Daredevil, The One, House of the Dead, etc. But my friends trust my advice on films for the most part. If i don't like it you know it's bad. I'm actually in the process of trying to buy every single video game based movie. I'm only missing a few. Hopefully Hollywood keeps on crapping them out.

Now all that crap I take in from movies and games isn't wasted. I actually have a very good imagination. My only downfall is i need motivation to use it. One day i will find my calling in this world. Until then I'm going to keep raising my achievement score until Microsoft has no choice but to acknowledge me and give me a cookie.
