TENSE FAMILY SCENES
Chev chases after Johnny and another man in their fleeing car, while Chev is on foot. Bring on Crank 3.
MESSAGE - The will to survive can be almost unstoppable. MUSIC (INAPPROPRIATE)
See our, I love the first one, but the second one is even better. Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker which requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working. - Frequent use of crude and descriptive sexual language. We don't see the actual insertion, but do see the side of that man's bare butt, as well as a side view of that shotgun firmly sticking out of his rear. YUCK!!! About her patient discussing his fear of guns after Chev held his on that man, the therapist states, "I would have sh*t myself." When he is done, he picks up the severed and bloody nipples off the floor and leaves. In this high-octane sequel, hit man Chev Chelios (Statham) launches himself on an electrifying chase through Los Angeles in pursuit of the Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart. Chev hits a goon with a shotgun, lubes up the end of the barrel, and jams that up the man's rectum while he is on all fours with his pants down. (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below). A man pulls another man's pants down (we see his bare buttocks). Ria shows cleavage in her hooker outfit, while we see other hookers fleeing a house, some dressed in bras and panties, while others are bare-breasted. In a gay club we see many men dressed in leather and one man wearing a dog collar and held on a leash by another man, and he is whipped on the back (behaving as if he is a dog).
Chev knocks various people aside while chasing after Johnny. The first Crank, for all of its excess, gory violence, and sex-obsessed misogyny, at least had the virtue of being unique, down to the fact that it killed its protagonist at the end of his misadventures. Needing a jolt for his artificial heart, Chev takes Doc Miles' advice and tries to create static electricity by rubbing up against other people. "You ain't ever gonna get an Academy Award for doing Crank" Well I beg to differ; I think an award category should be created for making a film like this. For frenetic strong bloody violence throughout, crude and graphic sexual content, nudity and pervasive language. Venus is thrown out of a moving limo, followed moments later by Chev hitting one of the men inside there, and then grabbing one or more guns and shooting everyone inside dead, although some tried to shoot back but were unsuccessful. He leaps from one part of a parking garage to the next and so on to continue the pursuit, and eventually lands on the hood of their car. Not only is this completely impossible, it looks totally fake and ridiculous. For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, camera movement is nearly nonstop throughout the film (including in close-up views, thus exacerbating the effect). Just confirm how you got your ticket. Chev punches and strikes various cops, who then get the upper-hand and club him. We see several miscellaneous men with Mohawk haircuts. Mild

We then see a parody of the old Godzilla movies, where Chev and Johnny are portrayed as big, lumbering monsters that fight each other amongst tall electrical towers that they crash into and smash into each other, ending when Chev hits Johnny back with two fists to the chest. A woman jams a rectal thermometer into a man's rectum (we hear a squish; he is covered by a sheet). Chev breaks a car window to get inside and hotwire the car.
Lots of topless women throughout and a not too surprising amount of "f--ks". When Eve realizes that woman is no longer cuffed, and the woman shows that she has keys to unlock those handcuffs, Eve tells her "do me," and the woman suggestively replies, "I'll do you," but Eve then knocks her out. One of those women is Eve, who does some sexy stage dancing in just small shorts (that show part of her bare butt) while having Xs made of tape across her nipples.
The following disparaging racist, misogynistic and homophobic terms are used toward/about others at various points in the film: "F*cking Cantonese," "You slanty-eyed f*ck," "Chinese sh*t," "Slut," "Whore," "You're a pair of sausage Nigels," "Okay chow-mein," "Fag(got)," "Get off your fat ass," "Did I drop some change or did I hear a chink?" Chev shoots the lock off an electrical panel and grabs the components inside that shock him backwards. It has similarities to the first film of course but that's what makes this film so enjoyable. . In the closing credits, we see outtakes from the above porn performer strike, with related sexual talk (sexual use of "bang" and a repeat of "no dough, no blow").

"One of the 50 Coolest Websitesthey simply tell it like it is" - TIME, The current economic climate has reduced our revenues. In the closing credits, we see a chest spreader being used for surgery on Chev. Various characters have gold-plated teeth. A man is shown weakened when his artificial heart's battery gets low, and he uses many types of electrical charge to power himself up: He climbs a power pole and grips the high voltage equipment (he is thrown back and onto the ground in flames and we see blistered, burning flesh), he attaches auto jump cables to his nipple and his tongue (he moans), he sticks his finger in a car cigarette lighter, he puts a dog training collar around his neck and punches the zap button, he tasers himself repeatedly, and he grabs two pieces of a high voltage device and is jolted. SUBSTANCE USE - A man drinks alcohol in a few scenes. A man punches Johnny (whose face is bloody), and whacks the chair he's in with a machete to intimidate him. "Are you f*cking kidding me?" At various points in the film, we see an internal view of Chev's artificial heart with blood flowing through it. Exciting heist film has action violence, profanity. Not to some woman there, but instead to a surgeon who removes his highly desirable organ and replaces it with an artificial heart powered by a portable and external electrical supply source. 3.5/5, Movies like these exist in another realm.
At various points during this montage, parts of the image are digitized around their crotch areas, supposedly to block views of their genitals. Music(Scary/Tense)

Escaping from there but then realizing his power source is running out of juice, he uses a car's electrical system to jolt his mechanical heart back into proper order. I get the Godzilla reference, but it was still a little pointless.
"Right the f*ck now," "What the f*ck, man?" Later, when that tank breaks, Chev picks up the head, spits into the face, and then punts the head into a pool. In addition, various Asian characters are played as exaggerated stereotypes that might be offensive to some viewers. He then fights with them but ultimately falls off. Later, when Randy is thrown into the bathroom, we see blood on the floor from that.

Common Sense says. Moments later, doctors comment on what else is to be removed from Chev (after his heart), and a sketch of his body shows a large penis that one of the surgeons circles (while one of them looks under the sheet to check out the size -- we don't see anything). JUMP SCENES

And another dumb scene is at the end, when we see a guy's head in a water tank being supported by tubes to keep him alive. They celebrate a full-testosterone, chauvinistic, sexist, semi-pornographic, parodic, overtly violent and electricity-charged tsunami of the ideas that precocious adolescents under the influence of nerve-altering hallucinogenics would have if given lots of budget, a camera and lots of porn actors incuding Ron Jeremy in the cast to work for them in order to party with basically everything that is wrong with our insane society.
