Really looking forward to this, another fantastic brainless live-action adult cartoon! April is too far away!

w00t!

After avoiding the first Crank because of it being slated at the cinema, I got it cheap on dvd. Loved it.

IT probably got slated cause the critics didnt get the point of it, i find with critics they will slate anything thats not in the criteria for Oscars, they go view a film thats not to their tastes so will naturally slate it

crank was one of those "put a smile on your face" movies.

Iron man was similar.

Don't get hung up on the story or the realism and just go along for the ride ;)

Looking forwards to this.

The first Crank was quality, I was dreading it but really loved every minute. Loved the bit in the pharmacy.

Always avoided it as it looked like a really bad Transporter. Is it actually enjoyable or just OTT silliness?

Its filmed better than Transporter, you get a really manic feel all the way through it and Statham honestly adds to the tension with his facial expressions and panic.

Its a bit like Speed but instead of a bus its a bloke :D

Its a very under rated film, just don't go into it expecting anything mind blowing, go into it expecting a bloody good time for 90 minutes.

It was funny. Not sure how they'll pull off a sequel but I won't complain.

Theres plenty of crap films that are actually great fun, what's that one with the criminals all chucked onto one island, and they fight to the death? Vinnie Jones was in it. That was a good laugh :)

Ah yeh, the one where Stone Cold Steve Austin is supposed to be the 'star' but really the film belongs to Vinnie.

"Condemned", I really enjoyed that. Pure mindless fun.

It was not at the cinema long (if at all), it got slated universally. It only really acquired fame after DVD release. Really easy to miss out on. I was told it was good for ages, but choose to ignore the voices of reason.

I'd like to sit and watch that if it wasn't one of Apple's ShitTime things that doesn't cache >:|

What do you think Jason Statham thinks when he looks in the mirror? "I used to be good in British black comedies about gangsters and criminals but now I'm every American teenage boy's idol, I've come a long way"

14 people in the world have survived freefall without a parachute so I wonder how they're going to explain his survival

dude, its Crank. They could have him ingest a hand grenade, explode, and still find a way for him to keep going.

I fear your reading far far too much into it, what about when he uses the electricity pylons? its all way over the top, thats why its entertaining

He probably thinks "I used to be a serious actor but now I'm typecast as a cockney action geezer and can't get other roles. Never mind, I'm getting paid more this way and having a laugh with it. The shame."
