This CRANK 2 Trailer Description Is Different From The CRANK 2 Trailer They Don't Want You To See (Which Is Here, For Now...)!!

Published at:  Jan 16, 2009 12:25:17 PM CST


Merrick here...



Frizz sent in a message to tell us that trailer for CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE are apparently going out with MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D this Friday. He provided this description of the trailer:

The trailer begins with the end of the first Crank movie with the helicopter fight and plummet to the street, and then all of a sudden a van full of Asians pull up and scoop Chev (Jason Statham) off the pavement with a snow shovel. Then it cuts to an operating room where they are implanting a mechanical heart of some sorts. Frank wakes up and knocks out everyone in the room, then calls Doc Miles (Dwight Yokam) and the doctor says he only has an hour of battery life in his heart, but if he can keep himself electrically charged then Doc might be able to operate and put his real heart back in.

Then a montage of shots ensues, including Chev rubbing up on people in the street to create static electricity (including an elderly woman), and even going to the extreme of clamping jumper cables to his chest. At the conclusion of the trailer he grabs a power transformer with great force. It looks to be as, if not more, entertaining than the first film.


Now, this differs a bit from a long form trailer (maybe it's a marketing reel?) that's been repeatedly showing up on the Net, only to be summarily disappeared by The Powers That Be.

BELOW: an embed of said material, which is grindhouseishly R rated & decidedly NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK. It'll likely be banished quickly, so see it while it lasts. It's weird.

    BEST FUCKING TRAILER EVER, MOTHERFUCKERS

    by dead megatron

    Shit,fuck, that was fucking hot, you bitch

    Now, honestly, I alway thought the firtst Crank, more than jut one freakishingly adrenaline-pumped movie, it was also somewhat subversive in its approach that "you have to grab the moment you're living right NOW by its fucking BALLS, and, for fuck sake, FUCK THE REST, as expressed not only throughout the whole movie, but specially in the public fornication scene ("I'm fucking alive!!!"). If they can keep the momentum in Crank 2, I´ll say right now, make Crank 3 fast, because I wanna by the deluxe trilogy DVD set...

    fuck yeah...

    by g-o-g

    Crank 1 was a ridiculous video game of a parody of the action genre and what it is now. Its only problem was its willingness to engage in trendy visuals. I really dig the stripped down approach to this film. As someone else said, it looks DTV, but it also looks vulgar, harsh, kinetic, and violent. If your idea of an action movie is fucking Iron Man, I guess you wouldn't dig this. If your idea of an action movie is Invasion U.S.A. or those great dirty 70's crime pics, then I think you'll get it.

    And if Crank 2 isn't enough....................

    by stuntcock mike

    it seems like the gang who brought us Crank, and haven’t even yet finished Crank 2, are going to bring us a Crank 3…IN 3-D!

    According the the folks over at Collider, directors Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine will not only be bringing us Crank 2 soon, but they will also be planning on a third Crank. This is awesome news, but the best part about this is that they are planning on shooting in 3-D. The directors told Collider, “We think it’s the way things are going. The problem for us is that the rigs are still a little too cumbersome. They’re a bit too big. We just don’t shoot that way man, We like to just pick up the camera and run and go berserk and it doesn’t really lend itself to 3D right now.”
    “We’re going to be creating a ‘moving bullet camera’ that has never been done before. We’re putting about 15 cameras onto a piece of speed rail, all these super lightweight cameras that I’ll be holding on rollerblades flying around people. So you’ll have that image that you’ve seen in the Matrix, where they stop motion and the cameras spin around, except for the fact that our cameras can spin around and move while the actor moves.”

    YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!

    Reflections on Quentin Tarintino

    by scottindc

    I agree with Danny on Tarantino...he couldn't squeeze out a classic unless it was coated in vasoline and shoved up his brown eye. His stuff is VERY overrated. But..as far as Crank 2 - I do enjoy stripped down and low budget bare-knuckles action; but the first movie kind of sucked (aside from the 'sex is keeping me going' scene)...this does sound better than the first though.

Suck a cock, a horse dick, a lions pussy, your moms asshole! Your dog and cats dick! Get fucked in your ass by a horse cock, then get fucked to death by the horse! Eat more shit that you have saved for a month, then throw it up, shove it up your ass to make your ass cheeks a little wet, and get fucked by an elephants cock! Go over to Richard Gere's crib and let him stick a gerbale up your ass through a tube! Then suck off his cock and snowball him! Now for anyone who has something really cool to say about Crank 2, go smoke a blunt! Fuck your hot girlfriend, or find a hot girl to fuck! Go to the bar and have a few beers! You know why cause your cool as hell! Anyone who doesnt like Crank 2 can do this! Run down the street naked, while pissing your pants because of how small your cock is! Go jerk off to the next Kanye West album, because that is how cool you are! Go in to a bathhouse and get ass fucked by the whole church of QUEER! Then take a month to shit out all of the cum stuck up in your ass! Then take that cum and feed it to your kids, because when they grow up they are going to be lame and cum eaters just like you! After you take a few weeks of to realize how much you really do suck cock, go join the military and get shipped off to IRAQ, step on a bomb and come home with no legs! Then audition for those freaky ass pornos with guys who fuck chick with out legs! After you audition you will realize you didnt get the job because your cock was blown off! So go home and hang yourself from the toilet! All of your shit will fall out your ass including blood! Your best fucking friend will come home, who didnt like crank 2 either, beacue he is a faggot! He will see you dead and begin to eat you shit and blood! Throw up then hand himself as well! This will be a cycle for all those that doubt Jason Statham! & anyone who talks shit about Crank 2! All of the haters can fuck off! All the cool people who are down, do nothing! Cause your cool anyway! The Second Coming of Laraz has cometh! BitcheS!

    by vern

    To see some of the gibberish you fellas are writing about how Statham is fucking cool and everybody else is a faggot and you get a boner from the rape scene in part 1 is kind of making me worry that the world is turning into one of those '80s post apocalypse movies where the cities are populated with giggling neanderthals with mohawks and chains around their necks who ride around in Jeeps looking for people to rape. No offense.
    I am happy to report though that I watched DEATH RACE and it was okay. It had a good solid b-movie structure to it and at least the camera was held steady enough that you could sometimes tell what was going on, although not always.
    But I still think you guys are insulting the art of action movies by saying everybody who doesn't like CRANK or TRANSPORTER or whatever is a sissy and only likes Judi Dench movies. You can't tell me I don't love action movies, but that's why I have standards for them and when some condescending frat boy pricks throw together a pile of A.D.D. slop like CRANK, ruining a perfectly good premise and cast, it just doesn't work for me. I'm glad you can enjoy it but recognize that it is not below criticism just because of its genre. They still gotta do a good job. Or are you telling me that you enjoy ERASER exactly as much as TERMINATOR because they both have Arnold in them?

    "We just don’t shoot that way man, We like to just pick up the camera and run and go berserk..." I liked it better when directors used to plan out how they were gonna shoot a scene. Those were the good old days. They would figure out the best way to shoot a scene, set up the camera, and try to do a good job. I'm getting real nostalgic thinking about it.

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, AND THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY IN IT FOR 5 MINUTES! VERN CRANK IS A AWESOME MOVIE! YOU PROBABLY ARE BEST FRIENDS WITH JUDI DENCH AND EMMA THOMPSON, THOUGH EMMA IS ALRIGHT! YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT PUPL FICTION WAS GREAT, EVEN THOUGH EVERY FRAME IN THAT FILM WAS A RIP OFF OF ANTOTHER DIRECTOR! YOU PROBABLY THOUGH KILL BILL WAS A MASTERPIECE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RIP-OFF OF EVERY FUCKING KUNG-FU FILM EVER MADE, INCLUDING JAPANESE SAMURI FILMS AS WELL! SO YOU OPINON DOESNT COUNT FOR SHIT! YOU ARE A CRITIC NOT A FILM FAN! CRITICS ARE PEOPLE WHO COULDNT MAKE IT AS DIRECTORS, SO THEY CHOMP DOWN GOOD WORK BY OTHER ACTORS! DONT FUCK WITH THE STATHAM! HE IS ACTION GOD! AND CRANK TWO WILL BE BETTER THAN ANY FILM YOU CALL GREAT IN 09 VERN! SO PLEASE GO WRITE YOUR SHITTY ASS REVIEWS SOMEWERE ELSE! BECAUSE ACTION FANS AINT LISTING TO YOUR GARBAGE! THE FOURTH COMING OF LARAZ HAS COMETH!

    I liked Commando too, but I cannot watch Eraser anymore since I saw it 3 TIMES the night it opened. Call me a glutton for punishment, it was in my let watch every movie no matter how bad it is many times phase.....I think Crank 2 will be an awesome popcorn movie!

    Vern's Not Wrong

    by scottindc

    The first Crank just wasn't a good film...people believe frenetic editing and a few interesting stunts make a good action picture; but none of Statham's action entries compare to GOOD action flicks like Die Hard (the first), Escape From New York, The French Connection etc. You simply can't re-watch films like Transporter without seeing some of the glaring cheesiness, continuity issues and half-baked plot devices. Yes...the Crank directors knew they were making crap...and guess what? They managed to set low expectations and then meet them.

    Haven't seen any of them (nor do I necessarily care to-- just not my cup of tea), but from the looks of the vid above, anybody would get a pretty good idea of what they'd be getting for their $10. I say tweak that bad boy and make it a red band trailer and be done with it.

    by bringingsexyback

    Rambo had as much crazy gory action as that trailer but you could tell that shots and scenes were planned and staged with care by Sly. I know Sly will use Statham's talents to devastating effect in The Expendables. It's just that the Crank makers are given fois gras, and using it like Spam.

    by dannyglovers_dickblood

    Chev is his real name. Frank Martin is a British Secret Service codename much like James Bond. It is passed down from agent to agent. Crank films are meant to showcase the insane life of crime Frank once led, before he settled down in Europe and began a life of PG-13.

Crank is a case apart...it was silly beyond belief, but is had giant solid balls, and for once showed you something you hadn't seen one hundred times before...and just when it was getting old, that crazy cell phone call while falling to your death from a plane ending redeemed the whole thing.

    It's too bad people are too dumb to watch Crank 1

    by myspoonistoobig

    You missed all the cleverness that was unapparent in the trailer. Greatly amusing music cues, inspired direction that included surreal visual effects, back Google Maps transitions, trippy subtitles, on-screen graphics, splitscreens and tons of old-school Atari references, etc. and a game cast, especially Statham, whose concluding speech in Crank is actually kinda nice. It was greatly amusing and I don't feel I have to make excuses for liking it. Crank 2 might not be as inspired, but I have faith that some of it will be, including the weird caricature-head Godzilla sized fight that must be at the end -- there are pics of it online but no hint of it in this trailer.

    I'll be the first to admit I'm an intellectual, elitist, New York City residing, tweed-jacket-with-elbow-patches wearing, wine-and-cheese-literary-scene making complete and utter snob, but I really liked the first Crank movie and so did my "only obscure European experimental movie fare for me, thanks" girlfriend. Of all the wink/nudge action movies of recent note, [Wanted, Shoot 'Em Up, Smokin' Aces (gag,) et al.] Crank was easily the best, funnest, and most entertaining. Vern either didn't watch the movie or doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Oh yeah, the Rape discussion.

    by derlanghaarige

    This one is a little bit difficult to judge, because I can see how someone would be offended by it and call it a rape scene, but I can also see how someone thinks different. I mean, it's not that she is yelling "No, please stop!" while she get "raped" and she even doesn't complain afterwards about it. In fact, she says 'no' AT FIRST, but even before he puts her male organ into her female organ, she starts to kinda like the idea and even obviously enjoys it.
    So one can say: "It's the typical rape fantasy of 'yes means no', which leads to a victimisation of women in general, but on the other hand it's not more "rape" than the millions of movies (Bond movies come to my mind) where there hero goes to a woman and she is mad at him (for shooting her lover or something else) and she goes: "No, I hate you, I hate you!", slaps him hard in the face, then looks into his eyes, they start kissing and then we see a hot, steamy sex scene or at least the aftermath of it, with them lying in bed together.
    About Crank: I try to stay diplomatic, because it's a totally fucked up scene in a totally fucked up movie.

    How can you NOT like CRANK?

    by spud mcspud

    If you hate ADD editing, fine. If you hate ultra-violence in movies, fine (but don't ever watch a Paul Verhoeven movie). If you hate Jason Statham - not fine, you facking cant.

    But you can't call CRANK a shit movie.

    Why not? It was at least fucking INVENTIVE - when's the last time you could say that about Quentin "back to the fucking well AGAIN" Tarantino? The idea of a movie that moved like a video game - hey, why not? CRANK is GTA come to life - so fucking what?

    That movie had an awareness of its own silliness (a quality that held SHOOT EM UP back from CRANK levels of greatness - SHOOT EM UP took itself too seriously). The way it was made may have been gimmicky, but since when the fuck have movies NOT been gimmicky? Calling CRANK a shit movie because it uses camera tricks to keep audiences interested is like saying SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE wasn't trying because it shoved Dame Judi Dench in there. Yeah, I went there, bitches. Action movies that are FUN can do whatever the hell they want to - that's what makes them FUN. And if a costume drama wants to add talent, gravitas and Oscar nods by hiring Dame Judi, what the hell. Even Vin Diesel recognises the genius that is Dame Judi Dench.

    And for fuck's sake, how can you POSSIBLY mistake CRANK as a movie that SHOULD be taken seriously? Fuck off back to film school and leave these immature video-game style action masterpieces to those of us who remember what it was like TO JUST FUCKING ENJOY A MOVIE!!!

    I'm not going to rag on other movies for being stylish in their own right - so why the fuck would you hate CRANK for the same reason? If you think it's shit, walk away and leave it for those of us who enjoy an immature yet spectacularly funny action movie.

    MRS SPUD-TO-BE has two things to say --

    (1) CRANK is JACKASS-meets-THE BOURNE IDENTITY. If you don't like that idea, you probably won't enjoy these movies...

    (2) She has a few ideas on how to keep Statham's heart pumping ;p

    How can you beat that? It was good for what it was, a Jason Statham action movie where he has to keep his adrenaline up while trying to solve the reason why he's been injected and get revenge on those who did it.This isn't exactly Billy Shakespeare here, but what were you expecting? Honestly?

    Wrong Vern

    by hellsfoxes

    First of all, nothing about the first Crank felt like it wasn't planned. We're still talking about film with a budget in the millions of dollars, they didn't just go out and film whatever they thought of at the time. This is the influence Blair Witch had on film. Watch The Bourne Supremacy, the action is so shaky and nuts, but I have trouble following everything. I can follow the action in Crank far easier so I prefer the way it is staged.
    Secondly, it is very unfair of you to characterize people who love to love Crank as being jibbering idiots. These are the people who hated Live Free Or Die Hard and Terminator 3 for not being hardcore like the original. Crank stands and falls on its sky high concept and as such needs to indulge in bizarre experimental filmmaking to keep itself fresh and hardcore. Do you remember the days when the studio wouldn't be cracking down on films trying to get PG-13 on everything? Seriously John Mclane is not John Mclane when he's stepping around cuss words. Crank is fine filmmaking. The people who go wild about it are just so excited to have an action franchise that feels like it is made for hardcore action fans as opposed to attempting to reach the youngest demographic. Crank is an action film those who are nostalgic for the action icons, off the wall nutty choreography and x rated content of the best of the 80's and 90's.

    says it well - Crank is nowhere in the same calibre of filmaking as the original Die Hard or such like, but in a period where the latest Die Hard feels restrained and geared towards a tween audience it feels great to laugh at the ridiculousness OTT feel of it all.

    Statham rampaging through a city in an orgy of sex, violence and enough tongue in cheek humour (stood next to a guy watching a TV mugshot of him whilst sporting a massive erection, standing on a bike drugged to the nines to the tune of Everybodys Talkin' - c'mon!) It may be directed by a couple of ADD freaks, but they seem to be having a ball and it recreates the 'anything goes' mentality of the 70's/80's B-Movie heyday pretty well.

    I like the premise of CRANK, and some of the individual scenes. But that random A.D.D. piling on of split screens, switching to different formats, zooming into an x-ray of his heart and Michael Bay editing shit just ruined it for me. I felt like they took a premise that was inherently exciting (guy has to keep his heart rate up or he'll die) and then tried to force it to be exciting through cheap visual gimmicks, which kills the whole thing. It's not nearly as bad as DOMINO but it's a similar feeling of just being hit over the head with a pan for 90 minutes straight. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with gimmicks, but for me that kind of spazziness usually ruins action scenes and pacing. The new one looks like it could be more of a problem since it was entirely shot on handheld camcorders.
    I am the first to rail against the PG-13izing of everything but honestly if I have to choose between restrained violence and quality filmmaking I'm gonna have to take the PG-13. Motherfuckers don't know how to direct anymore and it's a shame.
    I don't really see it as nostalgic either, I think they're trying to be hip and modern and shit. The classic action movies weren't so sarcastic or cartoony. Which is fine, but I just think it could be done better.
    I might try to watch it again some day soon and see if it grows on me, but after seeing some interviews with the dudes who made it I kind of get the feeling they're more obnoxious than the movie even lets on, so I'm not sure if there's more there. But I'll give it a shot.

    No, I saw SHOOT EM UP, and genuinely enjoyed it - but towards the end it kind of became one self-consciously-hip monologue after another between Paul Giamatti and Clive Owen, both of whom seemed to realise how dumb this concept was at the beginning of the film, but seemed to think they were thesping in a DIE HARD movie at the end. I dunno - a few more laughs towards the back end of the movie would've helped, that's all. I still think it's an awesome movie, but I think CRANK pipped it on every level.

    havarti...

    by havocschultz

    Havarti or Cream Havarti (Fløde Havarti in Danish) is semi-soft Danish cow's milk cheese. It was initially created on an experimental farm in the mid nineteenth century. Havarti is made like most cheeses, by introducing rennet to milk to cause curdling. The curds are pressed into cheese molds which are drained, and then the cheese is aged. Havarti is a washed curd cheese, which contributes to the subtle flavor of the cheese...on a related note, semi-soft Danish cow's milk cheese is what laraz' father shot into laraz' mom...9 months later, laraz curdled forth...

    Havarti is an interior-ripened cheese that is rindless, smooth and slightly bright-surfaced with a cream to yellow color depending on type. It has very small and irregular openings ("eyes") distributed in the mass. The texture (also depending on type) can be supple and flexible...just like your daddy's quim laraz...

    nothing wrong with some good cheese...I did not know that about Leyden cheese...did you also know that Havarti has a buttery aroma and can be somewhat sharp in the stronger varieties, much like Swiss cheese. The taste is buttery, and from somewhat sweet to very sweet, and it is slightly acidic. It is typically aged about three months, though when the cheese is older it becomes more salty and tastes like hazelnut. When left at room temperature the cheese tends to soften quickly...like laraz' cock after being gummed by his mommy...

    Buffalo cheese

    by spud mcspud

    Cheese made from buffalo milk, though quite hard and crumbly, can be extremely tasty (recommended melted on steak, or as cheese-on-toast). Half the fat, twice the calcium and protein (as normal cow's milk cheese) and quite strong flavoured. Lovely stuff.

    Here's how we do things

    by palimpsest

    Films are made at least six times: concept, script, casting, shooting, editing, viewing. Each time they change. Sometimes the movie (or 'text' if you want to go all academic on this) is cohesive, sometimes bits of it work and bits of it don't. Take CRANK as an example. It works on these levels: concept (SPEED with a man instead of a bus), casting (Statham, who at least plays this loony shit with some respect and is never self-consciously wacky about it PLUS Dwight Yoakam, who is sleazy perfection), shooting (I'll give them that) and viewing (it's a fun movie, taken as a whole). On the level of script and editing, it sucks. As for CRANK 2; never judge a movie by the trailer. Sure, they're aiming squarely for some kinda mutant JACKASS-junior crowd with the trailer, which indicates some kind of insecurity about the movie they're promoting. Here's how we do things though: better a ten million dollar idiot movie than a hundred million dollar idiot movie. Better than that, though, is a movie which tells a story and tells it on its own terms, rather than a movie which does sound and fury and signals nothing more than redundancy.

    You know what's even better than havarti...?

    by havocschultz

    Gouda...it is made from cow's milk that is cultured and heated until the curd is separate from the whey. Some of the whey is then drained, and water is added. This is called "washing the curd", and creates a sweeter cheese, as the washing removes some of the lactic acid. About ten percent of the mixture is curd which are pressed into circular moulds for several hours. These molds are the essential reason behind its traditional, characteristic shape. The cheese is then soaked in a brine solution which gives the cheese its rind and distinctive taste. The cheese is then dried for a couple of days before being coated to prevent it from drying out, then it is aged. Depending on age classification, it can be everything between a number of weeks to over 7 years before it is ready to be eaten. As it ages it develops a caramel sweetness and sometimes has a slight crunchiness from salt-like calcium lactate or tyrosine crystals that form in older cheeses...mmmm...reminds me of laraz' mum's taint the other night...caramel sweetness and a slight crunchiness...with a rind to die for...

    About CRANK....

    by spud mcspud

    Are these differences in opinion about CRANK really just about personal taste though? As much as I can appreciate the slow-burn style of some older classic action movies - I fucking LOVE DIRTY HARRY, and to see the effect that movie had on stuff like the first LETHAL WEAPON... Move on to DIE HARD, LAST BOY SCOUT, the styles change, the characters change, but they're all valid and enjoyable in their own way. I do enjoy and understand the differences between these types of movie, but I still enjoy CRANK - it's the newest form of action movie, that's all. Does it have merit? Of course - it's doing something different with the art-form of movie making. Whether or not you think it rocks is just your taste in movies - but it's still a well-made movie.

    Or are you all going to start bitching about the fact Michael Mann made COLLATERAL and MIAMI VICE on HD DVD, and it affects the quality of THOSE movies? I wouldn't...

    Goat's Milk Cheese...

    by havocschultz

    Goat's milk cheese, goats' cheese, goat cheese or chèvre (French for goat) is cheese made from goat milk. In regions where domesticated goats are kept, many kinds of goat's milk cheeses are produced.

    Although cow's milk and goat's milk have similar overall fat contents, the higher proportion of medium-chain fatty acids such as caproic, caprylic and capric acid in goat's milk contributes to the characteristic tart flavor of goat's milk cheese. (These fatty acids take their name from the Latin for goat, capra.)

    When chèvre is served hot, it is known as chèvre chaud.
    When chèvre is fucked in the ass, it is known as laraz...

Yeah, most of us are posting online - but we're not practicing the contradictory concept of acting like we're 'above' posting online while continually posting. You're a pathetic sycophantic loser whose every post suggests self-hatred that you manifest in making jokes about the 'queers' who are happier than you are.

    Vern Response

    by hellsfoxes

    Thanks for responding. When you mentioned the zooming into the heart thing I immediately thought of how well it was employed in Three Kings and countless films that have squeezed poignancy out of split screen. I think this might be one of the problems for you being in a position where you follow these films from conception, way before the general public. Another good example would be this sites coverage of Soldier and how disappointing it was compared to what it could have been. I'm not saying Soldier is good but when your waiting for a film to gestate for as long as you do based on a premise like Crank I can see how you would consider the end product to feel 'cheap'.

    I remember first reading about Crank in its Empire review. They gave it 4 stars and warned the viewer about this completely bugnuts cartoonish action film that stands out as an original among so many generic, high budget, bloodless action movies in recent years. I can see how a premise which could have given us another SPEED, would have pissed you off at how cheap looking it ended up.

    In my opinion, having just gone through film school, I can say that the most likeable and enjoyable student films were the ones where none of the key production departments vastly overreached the others. I'm so sick to death of films with slim plot and characterization and production values that are through the roof. Its disjointed in its ambition.
    With the cheap production value of Crank, it felt honest in its ambition and I feel like these paper thin characters and its ridiculously cartoonish, tongue in cheek premise would have fallen flat if its production had greater depth then the script. Whether or not these guys are shitheads, it feels like a great marriage of style and material. You can hate Brett Ratner but love Rush Hour 2 know what I mean. You can hate Michael Bay but have a soft spot for The Rock (which is Criterion!!). As long as its not Pearl Harbor and the style doesn't clash with the weighty material.

    Hope to hear more from you.

    I'm actually in the Midlands, down the A52 from Nottingham. We have a long and proud history of joining swears to make nonsensical yet strangely lyrical new insults, and I'm trying to keep alive the particular "shitehawk" (no idea what one is, but it works as a noun - "You fucking shitehawk!". Sounds like a rejected X-Men name). And then there's "cow's bastard", as in "I don't give a cow's bastard what you think!". More evocative yet abjectly stupid swear-words have never been spoken. Laraz dreams of having a vocabulary this expansive - he's still struggling with basic English.

    Jason Statham!

    by laraz

    Here is a BIO of the great Jason Statham from wikipedia! Enjoy you cock-smokers!
    Statham was born in Sydenham, south-east London. He was the second son of a lounge singer and dressmaker-turned-dancer. He grew up initially following in his parents' footsteps to master the art of street theatre. He also played football for the local grammar school (1978-83), but his real passion was diving -- in particular, he finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992. He was also a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years.
    Statham's life in media began when he was spotted by a talent agent specializing in athletes while training at London's Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. Afterwards, he became a model for the clothing brand French Connection where he was introduced to fledgling British director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie was working on a film project and needed to fill the role of a street-wise con artist. After learning about Statham's past, Ritchie cast him to play the role of "Bacon" in Ritchie's breakout 1998 hit, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The movie was well received by both critics and audiences, which helped catapult the unknown actor into the public eye. Statham's second collaboration with Ritchie came in the 2000 film Snatch. Cast alongside popular actors Brad Pitt, Dennis Farina and Benicio del Toro, and with the movie earning more than $80 million in box-office revenues, Statham was able to break into Hollywood and appeared in two movies in 2001: Ghosts of Mars and The One.

    Statham was offered more film roles, and in 2002 was cast as the lead role of driver Frank Martin in the action movie The Transporter, in which his background in martial arts enabled him to do most of his own stunts. A sequel, Transporter 2, followed in 2005. A third Transporter film was released in 2008, with Jason reprising his previous role again. He also appeared in supporting roles in The Italian Job (2003) (in which he also played a driver)[5] and Cellular (2004), and had a cameo in Collateral before taking the lead role in Crank (2006). Statham compares his role in Crank to his real life in the September 2006 issue of Maxim Magazine In 2005, Statham was once again cast by Ritchie to star in his new project, Revolver, and also starred in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, which was released in the U.S. in 2008. His most recent releases were the action films Death Race and Transporter 3. Statham's upcoming releases include Crank 2: High Voltage.

    Statham is currently developing a film written by David Peoples and Janet Peoples (Twelve Monkeys). Titled The Grabbers, the film (according to Statham) will be in the same vein as Humphrey Bogart’s classic The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Statham said “We’ve got a movie we’re trying to do, written by David Peoples and Janet Peoples, in the vein of an old film, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It’s not a remake or anything, but it’s a little bit like that, about relationships and how greed contaminates the relationships these three people have. The working title is The Grabbers."
    Statham dated English model and actress Kelly Brook for seven years but the couple split when she met actor Billy Zane on the set of Survival Island, also known as Three. In 2005, Statham dated former Bardot singer Sophie Monk but they are no longer together. Statham has also played soccer with Hollywood United F.C., a star-studded amateur team
