    Not for nothing, but this is missing a crucial component of badassery that both Crank and Death Race had.

    Wow, this gush really makes me doubt io9's brains. I suppose I'll reserve final judgment until I'm drunk and at someone's house watching the Crank Yank 2: We Have Zero Ideas DVD, but the first film was just awful - classic jumpcut-no-story insulting idiocy that wasn't even worth watching in a "just fucking show me some stupid explosions" state.


    I'm finding it really hard to believe that there's anything worth wasting time on in the sequel. But, ok...maybe someday I'll find myself in front of it and change my mind. Hope to hell not, though.

    @mediareport: I think you have to take it as what it is. I mean, if you go in expecting a mainstream movie that adheres to traditional standards of craft, you're going to be disappointed. But it seems like the directors are intentionally aiming for classic jump-cut, no-story, insulting idiocy. As the A.V. Club says, in a review that's similar in tone to Annalee's: "It'd be silly to call Crank: High Voltage over the top: The top is so far below that it isn't even visible."


    I dunno. I kinda liked the first one (and apparently enough other people did to warrant a sequel). It was ridiculous, but so much so that I felt like the directors were winking at us. It struck some kind of thoughtful chord in me, and it was a hell of a lot more memorable than a lot of the other movies I've seen in the past few years.

I have so many brain cells because I simply do not partake in beer. Also it lowers your inhibitions. Who knows, drinking beer might result in you making out with a woman! THE HORROR."

    The greatest thing about the first movie, is that they are all full of bullshit and swagger and adrenaline.


    This replaces plot, and characterization. I will be there opening day with a big bag of popcorn.

    I always say this, but I think in Crank 3 he should have to drink blood to survive.


    Even though it sounds like vampire, the way they do these movies it could be very comedic.
