Crank 2: High Voltage

[Nivek]

I want Son of Crank 3-D!!!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The guy has acting chops with Trainspotting and Snatch under his belt. It'd be cool to see him take a break and tackle something where he doesn't have to kick the s**t out of everything.

He was never in Trainspotting

But yes, he is definitely too good for direct to dvd movies.

 

[TNC9852002]

Yeah, the movie says "he looked like the guy from Trainspotting", but some people would've gotten the joke of it and "The Transporter".

I'm re-watching the first Crank right now and I really like how both movies feel like one, big movie with all of the returning characters motifs and story.

Crank in 3-D?!?! Are you insane?!?! Peoples heads would start exploding from the sheer awesomness.

Yea it is rare that sequels get that just right.

The sequel to this should be in 3-D and show Crispy Chev vs. his just as hard to kill, even more Crank-ed out pure evil father. Played by Malcom McDowell.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Malcom McDowell?!?! Errrr...that is PURE GENIUS!!!!

 

[BeserkerHilf]

yup, just ****ed my pants right there

f**k I was thinking of lock stock. this is what happens when I'm sober.

 

[Rishi]

I was watching Collateral the other night, and was surprised to see Statham in a bit part. He's literally in the movie for less than 10 seconds, maybe 5.

Of course, he's working for the mob.

 

[Octoberist]

I have to admit that Crank 2 was fun. The head in the tank kinda freaked me out though. Not to say that it's a bad thing, but it's kinda..surreal.

I know how you feel.

I loved the Ricky head, I knew it was going to be something in that tent, but the Creepshow-esqe voice really got me laughing.

 

[Balthus Dire]

That part was a little too out there, IMO. But it didn't wreck the movie.

He actually auditioned for a role in the film but Michael Mann loved him so much that he put him in a cameo.

as much as I liked it (very comic booky) i didn't like the fact that the buildup in Crank 2 was cut short of another subplot involving Ricky's brother.

 

[Nivek]

The Ferret?

 

[Octoberist]

yeah, the Ferret subplot gets into the main storyline too abrubtly, as neglected the Dong/David Carridean portion. It was just too unfocused.

 

[Nivek]

Well, given the past two films, (and as a fan) I would like to say they don't have much concern with filling out these characters. They are usually bullet fodder within 5 minutes of being introduced.
