It’s no secret around there that I just loved Crank. The film was a wonderful example of what 2 gifted and innovative filmmakers can do with even a tiny tiny budget and a great idea. The insane ride starts from the opening frame and doesn’t stop until the credits roll. Certainly not Oscar material, but a very fun ride nonetheless.
Considering how intense the first film was (and how absolute the ending was for that matter) it’s hard to imagine where they can go with a Crank 2. Jason Statham has no such concerns though… after reading the script he immediately signed on and had this to say through the good folks over at Movieweb:
Well, it is fucking ridiculous. In a nutshell. I mean, you thought the first one was a bit crazy. This one is ridiculous. It’s mad, but in a good way. I couldn’t resist. Working with those chaps again. And doing something in that vein. Again, this one is something very unique. It gives me a chance to go wild in the isles.
Ahhh… that sounds like a lot of fun.
Ok, as juiced as I am about Crank 2, I still can’t figure out for the life of me how on earth they’re going to even PRETEND to justify the idea that (SPOILER ALERT) after falling 10,000 feet from a helicopter onto the city street he can then just pop up and run off like nothing happened. Hell, I’ll be there opening day just to see the first 5 minutes and how they explain that alone!
This is entertainment! Why do people have to be so serious about what’s real blah blah blah
The movie was F-ING hilarious!! Why over Anallise shit? WTF for
I can’t wait to see Crank 2 and 3!! Jason Statham is Brilliant!!!
crank 2………..itd be somewhat cool, after beating up other guy he didn’t fall onto floor, on of the side effects was hallucination. I mean the call took too long, he woulda hit the floor in less than 30 sec. Except, i hope he didnt die, idc if he dies in 2nd….but hopoefully helicopter part was fake.

Don’t care how they are going to achieve it…its Hollywood..not actually real…fun..mad and brill film…LOVE Jason and he should have been the next Bond !!!
Jason Statham rocks, man is psycho!!! He makes the character real and I thought it was fun.
LOL victory is mine….thank u darren, im glad im not the only one……between this and transformers i feel like the minority…..
i’m going to assume its just that, adrenaline, movie logic, gets up and shakes off dust, i wonder if the crime boss he was supposed to kill and then ended up backing him up is back in the sequel..
Either that, or it’s Crank Goes To Hell.
Way I see it…
Crank was a stupid, idiotic, fucked up mess…I hated it. (and gone on the reccomendation of this site) but there were a few scenes which were so over the top such as the severed hand scene (you know the one) that for a first film, these guys might get better…which is why I’m looking forward to thier next film.
However, I think I just…
Well…consider this.
If they can get away with….
open sex in Chinatown, severed hands, a daring hospital escape, drugs to stay alive, car crashes/chases and a stupid, retarded plot…
Is coming back from the dead from the fall really that far behind.
He falls. Smacks pavement. Gets up. Shakes off dust. Keeps running.
Like nobody should really give a damn. If fuckin’ Highlander isn’t the Only One, well…fuck that shit, just get the fuck up and get your fucking bullshit sequel.
lol…hahaha
DAMN YOU REAL-ONE, DAMN YOU! *shaking fist*
dont worry kristina u didnt miss much……if u really liked transformers y prolly wouldnt mind this
then why post if you haven’t seen it…GodFather, good idea but you’re wrong, the writers are quoted as saying it’s not a dream sequence.
I still haven’t seen the first one.
I don’t know how many of you are old enough, or if any of you were into it, but the TV show Dallas, explained away a whole year of storyline by ONE little thing…
It was all a dream! LOL
I called it first! ;)
LOL
nicolae, your close, but the flight attendant fell to the ground 33,000 ft. She was still strapped in her chair in the rear section of the plane. Which is possible because of the planes terminal veolocity being slowed by the resistance of the air flow and she got like a lot of broken bones as the plane absorbed some of her impact. If she was free falling she wouldn’t even have a story to tell. That being said, I fucking loved crank and am real curious how this one is going to begin. Great fucking movie.
why don’t we need a sequel? it was a damn fun movie, so you don’t like it, no one cares. i’m up for another one of these just because it was such a simple movie. and i’ve also heard those stories to Josh, i think the GBOWR has a Russian stewardess falling something like 40,000 feet or near and landing into a shallow creek and surviving.
People have survived falling out of airplanes, it doesn’t happen often but does indeed happen. I read two stories, one from 11000 and another from 35000 in WW2. This is hollyweird, anythings possible.
lol…this is almost gonna be as bad as the first….LOL, no explanation would make sense….i dont care how much adrenaline is in his body no one can survive that…..lol do we really need a sequel? no….
i’m with you john on this, i’ll be there opening day just to see how they’re going to explain it.. didn’t they already say its not going to be a prequel or that the helicopter fall wasn’t a dream sequence? the only thing i can come up with is the amount of adrenaline in his body ramped up his body so much he was able to survive the fall, also was it really 10,000 feet? 100 story building is only 1200 feet or so right? the copter wasn’t that much higher than the buildings if i recall correctly..
I could be wrong, but I think that maybe they just are not going to explain it. They are going to have him “scrape himself off the pavement” as they have said, start running, and offer no explanation as to how that was possible. I.O.W., pull a Simpsons (they do this all the time on the Simpsons tv show).
Sigh. It always amazes me how much u praise this flick. OK premise. Stupid execution, and I dont mean stupid fun, I mean stupid. Just 2 hours of pointless stupidity and bad editing. Like an overlong crappy rock video or film student movie. OK john i understand that the filmmakers are prolly cool guys but come on. This was fun but u slam mission impossible 2. HA!
A fun movie is smokin aces. also got bad reviews from you or maybe shoot em up, but this crap was tedious was basically the same thing over and over. After hearing about this and seeing the trailers for the comebacks and meet the spartans and fuckin tyler perry havin the number 1 movie. Its no surprise movies are losing money. Bullshit
