Jul 23 2008'Crank 2' Will Have Giant Foam Statham Caricature
The LA Times has posted a series of on-set shots from Crank: High Voltage. From the looks of it, part of the film involves a massive caricature of Jason Statham's head. That's the only way to really "crank" things up enough to call them "high voltage," really--by including caricatures. That's why whenever I'm going to Times Square I'll just say, "I'm Hittin' up High Voltage," and whoever is around me will nod and say, "He must mean Time Square, with its many caricature artists, because only caricatures can 'crank' up a location enough to call it 'High Voltage.'"
UPDATE: A friend just pointed out the disturbing similarity between this and that horrifying Genesis music video.

The genesis video features puppets from the television show Spitting Image, one of the most popular political satire comedies in Britain

Hopefully they won't make a gigantic mock-up of it and drive it around the country Meet Dave style.

Nothing disturbed has ever done is better than anything anyone has ever done.
For serious, they're just awful.

@random man
Hell yes! Spitting Image was bad ass.

Is it just me or does it look like Max Headroom? A Max Headroom movie would be infinitely more entertaining than anything project that involves the words "puppet caricature" and "Jason Statham."

"anything project"... My command of the English language is astounding!

Personally, if you could buy a giant foam caricature of Jason Statham, I'd display it in my office.
