Gaius

So, how does he survive the final scene of the original movie?

@ Gaius (SPOILER)

He survives off the adrenaline, and his heart is stolen and replaced with an artificial one.

It's hilarious and cheesy how that sign is on the door.

Leave me alone, Jason Statham.

I honestly am looking forward to this movie. The first, was a quick fun film, that honestly is underrated in my opinion. I wouldn't expect the plot to have a logical sense to it, because the first was a illogical roller coaster ride. Am I as hyped as I am about other movies, probably not, but I can't wait for this movie.

Hey look it's that "one" white guy in Hollywood.

kingdarius

@ orange

Yah. It's definitely up there for me. At this point, I don't even consider Crank 2 to be an action movie so much as an experience akin to huffing glue.

More Cranks less Transporters, Statham, per my point on the /Filmcast.

Mitch Mouse

This one's story sounds just as ridiculous as the first one but what the Hell, who cares about the story when you got Jason Statham wreaking havoc across L.A. with a raging boner.

If you like this, then see "Shoot 'Em Up".Great over-the-top action.

Ya gotta have a montage !!!!!!!!
ah montage !!!!!!

My pitch for Crank 3:

Amy Smart's character now also needs to do something crazy to stay alive due to [fill in later].

They've done pretty much everything already, so I'm going for blood. She basically becomes a human vampire and has to keep drinking blood to stay alive.

This can be a B story.

ew

no more bai ling please.
can't she just.... go away.

@Hunter:

The Transporter series was awesome! Crank was more awesome! I say no more "Death Race" craptastic films and more "Italian Jobs".

Seriously, how could you not want to drink an Orangina after watching Transporter?! It could save your life!

marz

i think the 1st time i realy recognized him on film was on 'the one' with jet li..after that,he's been in alot of movies.i think he's one of the best action stars out right now.im curious to see a scene i hurd about where they use bullet time like on the matrix but they take it to a whole new level by seting the 360 degree cameras on a moving platform.has anyone else heard about this?cant wait to see this movie.

Mandy

I can't wait for the sequel!! The first movie was like a ride. I don't expect a story when I am on a roller coaster.
