Crank High Voltage (aka Crank 2) (2009)

If you thought Jason Statham (Transporter 3, Death Race, The Bank Job) died at the end of Crank when he was dropped from that helicopter, you were wrong. He is back, but someone has stolen his heart and Statham has to find it before his artificial heart stops working.

The velocity and insanity of Crank is pumped up even higher in the sequel as Statham careens around the city leaving destruction in his path. Not only is he looking for his missing organ, he also has to find innovative and ridiculous ways to kickstart his artificial heart.

This film cannot be taken seriously, and that is the attitude you need in watching it. What is there not to love about a movie that has...

The wild and wonderful Bai Ling (Gene Generation, Southland Tales) as a prostitute

Amy Smart (Crank, Starship Troopers) as a stripper

David Carradine (Death Race 2000, Hell Ride, Homo Erectus, Kung Fu Killer) as a Chinese crime boss

Ron Jeremy (The Pink Lagoon: A Sex Romp in Paradise) and Jenna Haze (Fast Times at Deep Crack High 4) as protesting porn stars

...and Corey Haim (The Lost Boys) looking like a bigger loser than ever?!
