I was expecting some awful mess that I was supposed to laugh at, but this movie was actually great. The whole idea that this guy was poisoned with some chinese stuff that slows his heart, and the only way to survive long enough to get payback is to find adrenaline anyway he can is brilliant. The movie is so fast-paced and nuts that I was glued to it all the way through. It's low budget yet they do so much crazy stuff. Very fun movie. Gonna watch the sequel tonight, hope it's similar in its craziness.

I thought this was supposed to be a "so bad it's good" movie
Ok what the hell did I just watch. Crank 2 is insane.

On the other hand, I hope that it's more subtle in it's craziness, because the writing and editing worked together to make something shockingly (often) clever and in a way, sharp... I'd like that to stand out equally as much as the insanity. It's just the small things, like *cunt*, Chevy screaming like a goat, and then cutting to him looking around, nervous like, et cetera. There was some of this in the sequel, but it was just so overshadowed by the craziness of it... regardless, CRANK 2 IS PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING.

These movies are just balls to the wall action.
The flagrant disregard for any explanation or story or sanity is the best bit.
When i saw the original. I thought that was insane. When i saw the second. I shit bricks.
I literally almost died of laughter in the cinema when the power station fight scene was on
