Crank was a fun movie, but Jason's movies are starting to become hit and miss. War was one of those stinkers in my opinion. Is he becoming like Ben Stiller was and just making a movie from every script that is sent to him? BDK was superb

So Crank is starting to look more like a comic book style movie now. Hmmmm this might be a cool thing. From something that started off like a regular movie to it becoming a crazy ass bizarre movie. I have to say I think I am interested in seeing the outcome in this. I hope it comes out good. Fingers cross on this as I love part 1 as a fun ass movie. I can move with the twisted. Statham looks crazy in those pics lol.

wolfman, I'm with you. I loved that film. Just pure fun and adrenaline. Plus if we get some more nudity from Amy Smart I'm definitely checking it out, talk about hot
And now he has an indestructable heart, good cause at least it's not a prequel and he'll be even more of an asskicker.

Wow all of sudden this turned from an okay movie to Sin City of all sudden. I dont know if this drug is real or not but I take it that if he has like this indestructible Heart then lets think about all the other people that were given the drug to be put to death. I take it he must be a rare case? boo hoo. Nah I'll pass.

I loved the first one. It is just fun, and the visual style the guys used was awesome. I am curious to see how they are gonna pull this off. What I thought made the first one so good was it reveled in it's own over-the-topedness. Kind of like Shoot Em Up Did. I can totally get into action movies that are supposed to be that way. And yes, he does look alot like Marv from Sin City. I want to see a trailer. Death Race looks pretty bad-ass, and the trailer I saw fro Transporter 3 looks great too. i say bring em all on.

Doesn't he throw himself out of a plane or something at the end of the first one, how did he survive that?

This is gonna be intresting. Loved the first one, it reminded me of playing GTA.

extzero • Jul 22, 2008, 08:09pm •

uhh didnt he die in the first one, im confused....i know he blinked after he hit the ground, but thats gettin a little over the top if he survives

A little over the top is what the entire film is about.
