It’s official: Jason Statham is returning to work on a sequel to the ultra-high-energy romp Crank, however this time instead of needing to keep his heart pumping at a high rate, his heart will require recharging by electricity. If you’re not familiar with the story of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man), in the comics he wore a chestplate that required period recharging to keep him alive as well.

So I’m kidding about the Tony Stark thing… but that was the first thought that popped into my head when I read the description for Crank 2: High Voltage in which Statham’s character:
“…faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.”
That’s outrageous enough to fit right in with the first film. So they replace his heart… what do they do with his actual heart while he has the fake one in his chest? Keep it on ice? I suppose this will add to the adrenaline pace of the movie by requiring him to complete whatever task in a very limited amount of time in addition to always being on the lookout for a recharge of electricity.
If it’s anything like the first one it’ll be a wild ride with no pretensions of being “high art,” but it will be a lot of fun. 
There’s no target release date set yet for Crank 2: High Voltage.

H-How?
He smashed into a car from like… 10,000 feet in the air. He hit terminal velocity, and then a vehicle.
From the sky.
Really Fast.
The Car… exploded-like.
I don’t know. But man, a sequel sounds awesome.
Holy COW! I had completely forgotten that the character died at the end of the first movie. Great point… it seems the man is truly indestructible.

I’m wondering if Jason Statham character was dreaming when that happen?

I thought that the first film was awsome. A real popcorn throwing movie, but how do you bring a guy back that feel out of the sky, hits a car, bounces back up into the air like 60 feet and then smashes into the concreat to top it off? I’m with Alix…..I can’t freaken what to see it!!!!! See you at the theater boyz.

He didn’t die. Since his addrenaline was really high up, it increases the badys power, stamina, and all that, plus even though he got injectd again, the fall was enough to push that poison stuff out.
Ok why are they making a sequel. And sorry a fall from that far from a chopper adrenaline, PCP, crack or otherwise WILL KILL ANYONE. HE WAS DEAD. HE IS NOT KONG. Also the poison was through out his entire body so all his blood would need to be pushed out hence he would still be dead. Is there anywhere that has some plot details?
Also it seems as if they are trying to copy off of DRIVE, a low budget but good flick with Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison with the whole super powered heart bit.
crank its very nice. Ilike this movie because the action is only present on this movie and know maybe to a comparate with any movie crank is the best of movie.Its not longely movie but is very interessing.your correspondant ti-jay
now even though i have no idea how someone could survive a fall from a helicopter that was like many thousand feet in the air onto a car..i still think a sequel would be awesome! the first movie was pretty good. alot of fun. although brian has a good point..even though that seems a lil impossible it also seems like it COULD be possible considering crank is a movie and not real life. oh well anyways hope crank 2 is good hopefully better than the first even though the first was still really good
