New ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’ Poster Shocks the System

Nothing is going to hold a candle to the original, “devil-sign” poster for ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’.   However, this new one tries hard to rock even harder.   I love the new tagline, though.   That’s genius.

This movie is going to rock so hard.   April 17th can’t come soon enough.

‘Crank 2: High Voltage’ RED BAND Trailer!

Jason Statham is back, again! But, we love to watch him kick a**! ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’ has gotten a new Red Band trailer released on the Internets. As expected, the sequel is WAY over the top, cheeky and incredibly violent. Perfect! Anything less would be unacceptable. Take a look…

>> SO LONG AS YOU’RE AT LEAST 18, RIGHT? <<

Whatcha guys and gals think? Look good…?

‘Crank 2’ will Haim to please …

According to TheMovieBlog.com, Corey Haim has been cast in Crank 2. Is this the beginning of Haim’s comeback rise to glory? I haven’t found any details regarding what his role will be, but who cares? This news is both cool and funny at the same time. What do you think? Should he be a good guy, a bad guy … or, one of many likely dead bodies?

‘Crank 2’ … a silly idea, but so much fun!

I must admit … as silly and off-the-wall as the first Crank movie was, I actually enjoyed watching the pure adrenaline charged, no excuses, in your face extreme and often absurd stylized action. Not to mention, Jason Statham is always enjoyable. So, in my moment of naive denial, I figured it was a one-shot carnival ride intended for mere thrills … apparently, it somehow made someone think a sequel was in order. I know the character supposedly has a iron-clad heart that seems to be indestructible, but how one justifies bringing back a character who met his fate quite as clearly as Chev Chelios did in the first is beyond my feeble mind’s comprehension. However, I will indulge that lesser side of my brain and suspend my disbelief to near critical meltdown.

The sequel, titled Crank 2: High Voltage, is being bank-rolled by Lakeside Entertainment. The story marks the return of Jason Statham as Chev Chelios, who in this raging romp finds himself squaring off against a mob boss who has stolen his uniquely resilient heart and replaced it with a battery-powered substitute that requires periodic jolts of high-voltage to maintain functionality. Amy Smart has been re-cast as Chelios’ girlfriend and his new nemesis will be played by Clifton Collins, Jr. (Tigerland, Capote). Also cast are Bai Ling, Dwight Yoakam and Efren Ramirez.
