I’ve only seen bits and piece of the original Crank (notably, Jason Statham fucking his girlfriend in public to stay alive). But seeing that Crank 2 is a sequel with the tagline “He was dead… but he got better” made me begin deeper research into the original Crank.
Here is the last paragraph of Wikipedia’s plot synopsis:
Chev, Verona and Carlito grapple on the helicopter. Verona injects more poison into Chev, then shoots Carlito and takes his place on the helicopter. As it lifts off, Chev dangles out of the helicopter, pulling at Verona’s leg. High above the city, Chev finally pulls Verona out of the helicopter and both of them plummet through the air. Chev snaps Verona’s neck, plummets away from the corpse and calls Eve’s answering machine to apologize that he will not be returning to her. After hanging up, his body smashes down onto a car and bounces extravagantly high and far before smacking into the pavement, his face inches from the camera. His nostrils flare slightly in what appears to be breath, then he blinks once. Seconds before end credits begin to roll, two faint, but steady, heartbeats, can be heard.
Holy shit! That sounds like the best movie ever! Dude falls from a helicopter, snaps a bitches neck, AND calls his girlfriend… all before hitting the floor… AND NOT DYING!!!?!?!?!
If this poster wasn’t enough reason to see Crank 2… that ending to the first Crank should be more than enough to camp out for this film.
