Feb 10 2009'Crank 2' Poster is Attached to a Car Battery
This might be the best ever explanation for a dead character's revival. "He got better. Don't worry about it. Not your issue. Electricity and exposing a nipple were involved, but that's all you need to know." The only thing that might be better is, "We decided we could make more money by stretching this protagonist into another movie, so he's alive again. With electricity."

I like Jason Statham but this has to be one of the dumbest posters I've ever seen.

"He was dead... BUT he got better" is an X-Man line from the 80's/early 90's, so as far as I'm concerned Statham's character in Crank and the Transporter are Wolverine's illegitimate baby boys or at the very least muties. This would explain the shit he's able to do in all his movies and not even stump his toe. I'll go see the movie, but I'm pretending I never saw this movie poster.

"Ee says ee's not dead" - "Ee will be soon, ee's very ill" - "I'm getting better"

But does he dog fuck Amy Smart in public again?
If not I'll go see it.

From the trailer posted awhile back, I'd say yes he does fuck Amy in public again...more than once.

I enjoyed the first one. The Holy Grail reference can only help it.

Guy falls from 4000 feet.
Guy doesn't splatter at all
Guy gets new heart
Guy doesn't think to just buy bigger battery to run heart
Guy fucks Amy Smart in public again, after rubbing on old woman in weak excuse for an in joke reference to fucking Amy Smart in Part 1
Guy constantly electrocutes self with no issues of soft tissue, or joints exploding
Guy probably retrieves heart, that was dying anyway in the first because of the cocktail from film 1
Guy gets hit by train in last two minutes of film, but bad guys give him new hair plugs so he lives for Part 3. (Seems like a pretty good guess given...)
I would love to sit in on some of these writing sessions and pitch meetings for films like this. It must be mind blowing, or numbing. Can't really tell.

The trailer is awesomely ridiculous. I guess I'll have to watch the first one now, so I'm not lost by the complexity of the plot.
15. Birv - February 11, 2009 2:38 PM
Mr. Stratford, I whole heartedly agree. And on the subject of hearts... why didn't he just transplant one of the hearts from the scores of people he killed on the vengeful search to find his own?

I love that, rather than trying to have a good plot(and probably fail like most action movies), this movie is throwing common sense to the wind and making the plot incredibly ridiculous just so they can throw as much action into an ACTION movie; brilliant. 1st one was just as crazy stupid and turned out pretty good.
