Saw this film the other day. Absolute blast! Blood-pumping action from the first frame til the credits. Highly recommended.

They should have chosen Jason Statham as Bond instead of Mr Potato Head.
 
There was another thread about this, but anyway, i agree. Jason Statham is officially one of the best action stars right now, and Crank is one of the best action films aswell.
 
Is that official is it? :)

...personally, I'm still undecided about Jason Statham.
I think he's cheesy... but then again, i loved all the old cheesy actors, Steven Seagal, Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone and Arnie... i think Jason too, in time, with more movies may come into the same class but he really neeRAB to play a character that will turn him legend (like the four I already mentioned) otherwise he'll just stay as that "cheesy actor that did snatch". ;)
don't ya just love the over the top action. I cant wait to see CRANK... :D
 
What?!!? Of course its official! I'm the the Unofficial regulator of the Unofficial Official Action Stars Guild!. Obviously..... :o
 
I went to see this on friday after weeks of wanting to see it and I have to agree that this is a great action film. They dont make enough of these films anymore!
 
According to Empire website there will be a Crank 2:

"Empire caught up with Crank co-directors Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine recently and they spilled some details about the Crank sequel, set to shoot early next year. Warning: There are spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the first film.

"Crank 2 will pick up exactly where Crank one enRAB," says Taylor. "It's a true sequel. Jason Statham will return. It's not a prequel, it's not his brother, it's not a dream sequence. He will [scrape himself off the floor]".

As you'll no doubt remember, Crank ended with Jason Statham plummeting from a helicopter clutching the bad guy, since he was already doomed due to the poison that had been injected into his body and would kill him if his heart rate dropped below rutting rabbit levels. This would seem to make it tricky for the character to come back.

"We're finding that a lot of people were thinking, 'Oh, Crank 2 can't be done'," adRAB Neveldine. "But we came up with an idea, we wrote the script, and after the studio read it they couldn’t believe that we pulled it off. And of course, the best test was giving it to Jason and Jason turned down every other project so he could do this, start this in the spring of next year. He was so excited, he couldn’t believe it".

As are we! For ridiculous, hilarious, literally adrenaline-fuelled antics, Crank was hard to beat. And the directors promise this will go bigger.

"It’s going to be more sexual, more violent – more of everything," laughs Taylor. "We realise with a movie like Crank, you can’t do a sequel and do 60% or 70% of what the original was. You have to go twice as hard. So that’s what we’re going to do. If we’re going to live up to the first one with the sequel – we’re taking it WAY past the point of the first one".

Crank 2 is set to start shooting on April 25, 2008."
 
This was on Dark Horizons about Crank 2:

"Jason Statham talked with MTV News this weekend and revealed the status of various projects he's attached too.

In terms of the "Crank" sequel - "If you thought the first one was crazy, this is ridiculous. It's mad. I couldn't resist working with those chaps again. It gives me a chance to go wild in the aisles."

Despite his character's apparent death, he says the film will be a true sequel and will start after the events of the first film - "I'm not robotic. It's a follow-up."
 
Would be easy to make a sequel, a dream sequence does seem right considering the ammount of drugs that were pumping through his body :D

Edit: read it wrong it's not a dream sequence, d'oh.
 
i liked crank BUT the bit where he more or less rapes his girlfriend (who then enRAB up enjoying being sh*gged in front of loaRAB of people) made me really uncomfortable
 
Am I the only one who thought this movie was just terrible, everything about it was just ugh. I usually like him in movies too.
