Twittering Twats... by lola0813	Apr 17th, 2009 03:55:02 AM
...couldn't ruin my post-HIGH VOLTAGE high. This flick screams "TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE".
I thought this... by Harold-Sherbort	Apr 17th, 2009 03:55:25 AM
..might be a good time, until I saw that fuck from Linkin Parkin, and heard their song in the trailer. I can't fucking stand anything they have anything to do with. It's too bad, this looked like it could be a decent hour and a half.

Twitter is a stupid word by BYOBkenobi	Apr 17th, 2009 04:29:07 AM
Back when Harry was twitterpating over something years back, I can't remember what it was about but thatw as the adjective he used and the very thought of it makes me squirm.
Does Bai Ling show her tits? by 3D-Man	Apr 17th, 2009 04:37:00 AM
Well... does she?
but "Statham" is a glorious word by palimpsest	Apr 17th, 2009 04:41:31 AM
I propose the following: a rival micro-blogging named after our favourite baldy Brit action man. Sending a "Stath" will involve up to 140 characters of the rudest words you can dream up: FUCK YOU YOU CUNTING SHITBAG PAEDOPHILE BABYRAPING COCKJOCKEY - that kind of thing. Fellow users will be able to log in and follow their friends and see how sweary they're being in their lives in real-time, and so understand that curse words are both big and clever.

This review gave me a headache by Jack Burton	Apr 17th, 2009 05:00:34 AM
"which his buddy doctor from the first film, again played by Dwight Yoakam - who has a Robert Crumb wet dream of a Black woman across his lap whose ass he's fondling, probing and spanking as he's reintroduced to us." Was the intent to make the review as random, jumpy and half formed as the movie likely is?
Get Everyone by Wants Vaders Executor	Apr 17th, 2009 05:25:40 AM
Yep, I too have that feeling. And Jack Burton, you didn't even quote the worst parts of Harrys "review". My god Harry, it would be hard to write something more incoherent.
Get Vern in a cinema now, Harry by palimpsest	Apr 17th, 2009 05:27:35 AM
We need the Outlaw's take on this.
I'm firmly of the opinion that..,, by Gabba-UK	Apr 17th, 2009 05:34:41 AM
Cinema attendents should be given licence walk up to anyone talking/twittering/ or just being a twat, with a bolt gun, hold it to the offenders temple pull the trigger then post the corpse back to it's mother with a note pinned to it saying 'Do better next time Bitch!!!'. Great moment at the screening of Fast & Furious I went to in Leeds on Monday. About 5 or 6 chavs were being noisy and frankly deserving of a bolt gun. Couldn't tell if they were male or female, chavs sound alike in semi darknes. Part of the inbreeding I guess and proof positive that they are new sub-species of Homo Sapian, Homo Chavitwatus. But I digress... As the BBFC card came up a few audience members called for them to shut up. One of the fools said 'make us' or words to that effect. At this point a black dude sitting two rows behind me got up. This guy wasn't just big in the way an Irish wolfhound is a big dog, this guy was Andre the Giant BIG. He walks down to the front row where the losers were, stands in front of them and in a very refined deep voice asked them VERY politely if they could kindly refrain from talking then he and his two friends who paid good money to see the film, would in turn, refrain from ensuring they would be deficating into a plastic bag for the rest of their lives. The audience cheered gave the guy a round of appaulse. The chavs never made another sound. At that point I wanted the guy to be Prime Minister!!! Live is good when you witness such things.

Didn't Harry admit to twittering in the middle of a film not too long ago?
Harold's in Meth-using Chimp mode here again. by Sal_Bando	Apr 17th, 2009 05:40:56 AM
Damnation Harold at least try to be coherent w/out so many stabs at being quoted in the blurbs. Gag. That made as much sense as the infamous Harold stream of hipsters gibberish of a few back.

WHERE'S CUMPSTON'S REVIEW?!?!? by spud mcspud	Apr 17th, 2009 06:07:05 AM
Actually, I know why it's not in yet. It'd be hazardous to Neill's health to go see this movie. The concentrated two hours or so of pure awesomeness would cause Cumpston to explode in a shower of geez jizz all over Harry's auditorium. Not pretty.
STATH IS THE MAN!!! by spud mcspud	Apr 17th, 2009 06:08:00 AM
The only way this series could be improved would be to replace Stath with LORD BALE. Just joshing. I loves me some CRANK action!
Statham owns Vin Diesel and the Rock by BMacSmith	Apr 17th, 2009 06:13:33 AM
who would have thought a balding british guy would be the kickass action hero of this generation? i think the trick is to just not give a fuck what role you take. where would Schwarzenager be without Commando?

I don't know why I like Stratham so much by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS	Apr 17th, 2009 06:22:27 AM
I couldn't exactly tell you why I enjoy watching Stratham in stuff, but he's fucking awesome. Could he kick Daniel Crag's ass? I dunno... but it would be awesome to see these two British bulldogs go head to head in something. Long live The Strath and his movies; the perfect escape from reality!
Jason Statham is ridiculous by kwisatzhaderach	Apr 17th, 2009 06:22:44 AM
America is the only country in the world where he could become a star.
Statham will never rival Stallone or Arnie... by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Apr 17th, 2009 06:23:47 AM
unless he stops making absolute shit like Death Race, ITNOTK and Transporter 3. Even Arnies worst flicks were dumbhouse classics. I'd rather Stath took a shit on my forehead than watch any of those flicks again.
Statham by moneymouth77	Apr 17th, 2009 06:26:06 AM
Ah Statham, such a mad, mad man. I love him for the films like this, where he is having the time of his life being the thickest, butchest, most mental cockney ever. This film is awesomely ridiculous.
Actually while I think on.. by Gabba-UK	Apr 17th, 2009 06:28:13 AM
Do they have over 18 only showings of films in the US? Started over here last year. The difference in atmosphere is incredible. Room full of people who want to see a movie with out distraction. They've become so popular that someone who I know that works part time in a cinema tells me that at least one big cinema chain in the UK is giving serious consideration to refusing entry to under 15 after a set time unless their with a fare paying adult.
Statham does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Apr 17th, 2009 06:30:07 AM
Doubt i'll see CRANK 2 in the cinema but i'll definitely rent it on a beer and pizza night with the boys. Sounds like a shitload of fun. Statham is indeed the man. Waiting for him to make a 'breakthrough' pic to proper stardom, but at the same time kinda hoping he never does. Dirty B flicks are where he truly belongs. Caught DEATHRACE on Blu Ray a few nights ago and it's just a pleasure to see Statham being interviewed on the extras. Just a really down to earth guy with no pretensions, saying he wanted to be in the flick because it's a movie he would watch himself. I can't think of a better or more simple reason for an actor picking their roles. Yes, and THE EXPENDABLES will definitely kick ass that little bit harder because of his inclusion. Send in The Stath.
That review tired me out! Oh, totalfilm did the twitter by Brody77	Apr 17th, 2009 06:39:58 AM
thing as well - they lost a lot of followers yesterday during the screening as they were giving stuff away. Like you say, watch the fucking film!
To quote a famous British by theGoldbergV	Apr 17th, 2009 06:42:57 AM
reviewer, Jason Statham is "not so much an actor who acts, he just perspires". Sums him up really. Still see this though, CRANK 1 was just nuts enough to be good. Is Amy Smart back for this one?
by Cobra--Kai	Apr 17th, 2009 06:43:45 AM
"unless he stops making absolute shit like Death Race, ITNOTK and Transporter 3. Even Arnies worst flicks were dumbhouse classics" Droid. Droid, i'd list among Arnies worst flicks; RAW DEAL, LAST ACTION HERO, COLLATERAL DAMAGE, END OF DAYS. DEATH RACE may have been a silly B flick but i'd say it was a 'better' movie than those listed above. Statham's likeable presence and the incredible stunt with the crashing big rig were enough to make it worth a watch. And be careful, Stath is just the kind of guy who WOULD take a shit on your forehead if you flamed him.
ahem by smylexx	Apr 17th, 2009 06:50:04 AM
sorry Harry but the review was unpleasant and uneccessarily filthy. The occasional Harry-ism is fine but this was unreadable.
Cobra-Kai by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Apr 17th, 2009 06:55:47 AM
RAW DEAL, LAST ACTION HERO, COLLATERAL DAMAGE, END OF DAYS are all shit, i agree. But goddamn they're enjoyable. Arnie is impossible to dislike on-screen. Statham is the same, but he keeps making absolute shit. Death Race wasn't fun at all. It was purile, repetitive shit directed by a talentless hack. I like Stath (please don't shit on my head, Mr. Statham). I just think he can do more than take his shirt off and headbutt people.
Glad Harry is supporting this one, cause... by JuanSanchez	Apr 17th, 2009 07:02:05 AM
Lionsgate has complete dropped the ball on the ad campaign. Great trailer penetration, very little TV commercial penetration.
by Cobra--Kai	Apr 17th, 2009 07:09:36 AM
Droid, hehe - I like your plea to 'Mr. Statham'. Okay, put it this way. If you were offered a free Blu Ray copy of one of the above mentioned movies (Arnie's greatest misses or Death Race) which one would you pick?

Is Harry's writing style a put on? by sighborg	Apr 17th, 2009 07:39:17 AM
I found reading this review to be a chore. Lazy swearing, horrible grammar, obvious typos, random everything. Is this an act. A persona? Like an inarticulate hyper child, maybe? Kind of new here so I'm being serious. Is this typical? And considered respectable? If so. Why?

Stephen Hawking is THE GENIUS.. by The Dark Shite	Apr 17th, 2009 07:41:59 AM
of Planet Earth today. IS HE FUCK! He's just well known. There are shitloads of smarter people than him, many of whom have debunked his theories. He's just got a cool gimmick. & don't cry PC stuff. It's a fact. People like us know who he is, because he's the one, single, instantly recognisable, clever science guy. & Crank 2 will be the same "Just outta film school" hack chancer shit as the first one.
I wouldn't say Hawking is THE genius... by GaiustheBrave	Apr 17th, 2009 07:46:55 AM
as if he's the smartest person on Earth. What the fuck has he done of any use lately (like in the last twenty years)? Oh yeah, he's come up with a crackpot theory about other universes that is about as verifiable as Harry's consciousness...and just as believable. He is very smart, but I don't understand the popular notion that he is the cutting edge of physics. In related news, stocks in Harry's credibility dropped again today, leaving some to wonder if we've seen this thing bottom out yet.
It's true - Hawking is smarter than all of us, but... by JuanSanchez	Apr 17th, 2009 08:06:01 AM
there are people smarter within his own field alone. The reason the general public knows him but probably no other astrophysicists is his disability. That made him a character the media couldn't resist.

Last Action Hero.. by The Dark Shite	Apr 17th, 2009 09:04:56 AM
Was shit. & who was Jack Slater by the way? I hope it was the kid. One of the dumbest things in Arnie's movies was that he was always called John, or Jack or something. Never Adolf, or Wolfgang. "Hi, I'm Jon Smith." No you're fuking not. You're Adolf fucking meschersmitt. Or hoever they write it. "No I am. I'm John Smith. I like Vindow Vipers." Fuck off.
Yeah, spelling mistakes. by The Dark Shite	Apr 17th, 2009 09:08:05 AM

Michio Kaku is a'right... by GaiustheBrave	Apr 17th, 2009 09:09:15 AM
but I hate it when physicists get into interpreting the raw data into some unprovable theory of everything. (Ahem! Brian Greene!) If I wanted that kind of shit I'd read one of those New Ager physics books by journalists who are so impressed with how spot on physics is with ancient metaphysics. Of fuckin' course it's spot on, ancient metaphysics had all the specificity of an Obama speech! Zing! It could have just as easily fit classical physics. That is one way in which I do appreciate Hawking. He has a very good habit of pointing out that scientific laws are mathematical abstractions of reality, not reality itself. Oh, yeah, and how the fuck does Statham keep making movies? Do they really make any money? "In The Name of The King" was just painful to watch, as was "Transporter 1&2". I couldn't bring myself to see 3.
Jack Slater is the main character by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Apr 17th, 2009 09:10:51 AM
As portrayed by the Austrian Oak. And since LAH is a satire of action flicks, something tells me the name is intentional. Not too hard to fathom that one.
Another moronic Knowles review.... by benlinus	Apr 17th, 2009 09:12:57 AM
Harry, Im not sure if its drugs or booze or too much Red Bull or what, but read that first paragraph again, it BARELY makes any sense. Hawking has a "strange affliction"? What are you a fucking retard?! You have a fucking affliction Harry. Im not doubting whether the movie is good or bad, its prob a fun mindless ride. However, you write like you are looking for every newspaper in the country to quote one of your moronic sentences, although, with the sewer mouth, I doubt thats possible. Read the other reviewers and thier style of writing. You need some guidance Harry, as youve seriously lost touch. While i LOVE this sight, and LOVE the talkbacks, and have for years, your writing, your self-centeredness, the way you inject yourself into almost every review like your some sort of wheelchair bound Hunter S Thompson (no offence to the late great Mr. Thompson) annoys, not only me, but likely 70-80% of the readers here. Youve kind of become like the old Uncle that comes over on Xmas that everyone loves but no really takes seriously anymore. Thats pretty fucking sad. You might want to ponder that Harry....And for people who tell me, if I dont like it I can leave, or Im just jealous, fuck you, yeah I AM jealous, I would love to have the money and power that Harry likely has, its just sad to him falling off like this. I mean, Im not the ONLY one saying this, am I?
Good review Harry by masteryoda007	Apr 17th, 2009 09:15:30 AM
This has got me revved for some of the Chev. Cheers big guy.
Oh and one more thing..... by benlinus	Apr 17th, 2009 09:17:42 AM
You were "twuttering" or something like that DURING a movie??!! Is that REALLY true? I hope that was a "private" screening, because if you were sitting next to me, I'd punch you in the fucking face......
Which is why i said "as portrayed" by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Apr 17th, 2009 09:21:47 AM
Not that it matters. The flick had Tom Fucking Noonan as The Ripper! What's not to like?
I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for by The Dark Shite	Apr 17th, 2009 09:27:30 AM
Yeah, not too hard to fathom, EXCEPT his name was ALWAYS like that. In every movie. You can say it was some kind of classic ironic look at his own stuff, but it wasn't. It was half baked. Making fun of yourself only works if you're not called John in your next movie. Which he probably was.
Much in the same way.. by The Dark Shite	Apr 17th, 2009 09:28:49 AM
That being patronising only works if you're smarter than the guy you're talking down to.
Sure, Hawking is a genius but by kafka07	Apr 17th, 2009 09:37:24 AM
personally I like Zizek. Equally as genius, and just as bizarre too. But anyway I will see this film, it looks fucking bugnuts.
I find it amusing that the fact you're annoyed that... by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Apr 17th, 2009 09:47:49 AM
some foreign bloke has stolen that good ol', red, white and blue name John in a few flicks. In the 80's and 90's it was one of the most popular names in america. To appeal to the slobering halfwit masses of middle america you aren't going to call your head cracking hero Heinrich or Florian. Accept it. Move on.
Umm i think you'll find Noam Chomsky is THE GENIUS by Mysterious_Volvo	Apr 17th, 2009 09:51:06 AM
of Planet Earth today. Firstly he's old and knows more stuff than Hawkings. Secondly he's not in a wheel chair yet. And those are all the points i need to make my case.

In fact, I said it without saying the words, but part of my post was about the very same middle America thing you mentioned.

Proper Review by moneymouth77	Apr 17th, 2009 10:06:16 AM

Harry Up In Arms by HARRYS_TOUGH_GUY_PERSONA	Apr 17th, 2009 10:13:35 AM
Harry and his twat of a wife getting up in arms over a group of people sitting in the furthest row of seats in the theater is hilarious. Especially when he goes on to flex his internet muscles and talks about breaking their phones. Does anyone believe this fat fuck would do anything? Not one person in that theater was disturbed by their twittering. Quit trying to act like a tough guy, Harry.
by Cobra--Kai	Apr 17th, 2009 10:17:51 AM

But Statham IS a good actor - see "Bank Job" by LaneMyersClassic	Apr 17th, 2009 10:24:07 AM
the movie is brilliant and Statham shows really good range. I admire the guy's work ethic - at the rate he's going, he will be the Michael Caine of our generation. I talking about quantity, not quality. He only needs ONE critical and financial Blockbuster (see Willis, Stallone and Arnie for ideas) and he is set for life - he CAN do it!
Of course they aren't screen a movie like this for the critics by Rob0729	Apr 17th, 2009 10:33:22 AM
Whether this thing is a piece a crap or a masterpiece, most of the critics wouldn't get it. I liked the first Crank, but I can see why so many critics hated it.
Statham by Philo	Apr 17th, 2009 10:43:41 AM
Chaos. Watch. Great... No more need be said.
The name Chev Chelios sounds stupid as fuck by Biffs_Pleasure_Paradise	Apr 17th, 2009 10:55:55 AM
And the first Crank was stupid as fuck, and not in a good way. That aside, Statham has potential, but most his movies are shit. To his credit, at least he tries to act unlike Vin Diesel.

Mate! Singapre is cheap as fuck! Really. You must have had the "tourist" look or maybe the "white guy look" (not racist, just true. If you don't know what you're doing in singapore, they'll screw ya). Same in Spain though, or anywhere. No great economic advantage in Japan, but they're not gonna take youe eyes out either. In fact, service wise, you're better off. You know how you can go into a pub or a shop in the U.K & they act like it's a burden to do their jobs? Doesn't happen here mate. It's all about service. Life in Japan is like the U.s wanted to be. They told the Japanese to be like that..& they did it.Democracy, way too much consumerism, very little crime, everybody has a middle to upper middle class life. Not bad mate. Not bad at all. Boring as fuck (which is why I end up here), but otherwise a nice way to live.
When I saw the first one... by ecm	Apr 17th, 2009 11:28:19 AM
...I thought it was like a long music video. Very amp and headache inducing. But the outrageousness made me enjoy it, yet hate it just the same. I was very indifferent about the film. So, even after this review, I think that this one'll be fun to see but I'm not sure if I should go. Maybe I'll go. Maybe. But if its 10x as crazy as the first, like Harry had implied, I may not like it. But to be honest it looks fucking hilarious! So,....maybe....maybe.

I once had a roommate... by veebeeyes	Apr 17th, 2009 12:03:37 PM
who was pretty messed up. He pretty much spent all of his time trying to find the most fucked-up porn imaginable. One time I actually went out drinking with the guy, and after a few beers he starts talking about how he'd like to rape a woman with a bunch of knives. Yeah, that dude was completely fucked up, and thank god that I will never ever see him again for as long as I live. Anyway, when I heard about the shotgun rape scene in this movie, my thoughts were pretty much identical to the whole knife-rape discussion. Who the hell wants to see that shit?

I agree whole-heartedly that people on their phones, texting, IM'ing, whatever is fucking annoying. I also want to fucking kick all the crying babies, right after I punch the parents right in the throat. What's the deal with slamming Twitter though, Harry? Is that the cool thing to do now? I twitter a lot. I like keeping in touch with a wide network of people in short bursts. (You bitches can follow me at www.twitter.com/iamrafsusernam e) Now, why in the fuck would you first slam twitter and then whore your own twittering out to the AICN crowd? It makes no sense. Whatever. It doesn't matter. It just kinda bugged me a bit. Aside from the Twitter-bile, good review.

The difference is Stallone made Death Race BEFORE he was famous. Statham made Death Race 10 fucking years after he became famous AND he fucking starred in it. AND it's yet another notch on the belt of unwatchable shit. I'm not never said Stallone and Arnie haven't made shitty flicks. They have. (Especially Stallone) But their shitty flicks are often their most enjoyable. Cobra is a steaming pile of shit and I love every fucking second of it. Who else but Sly could cut a slice of leftover pizza with a pair of scissors!? But until Stath actually makes an honest to god GREAT flick, like Rocky or Terminator, he'll never rival Stallone or Arnie. But thanks for the newsflash.

From what I hear, the people involved in this mass-twitter live blogging were separated from the rest of the theater. I get it- using your cellphone during a film is annoying. But this was a group of people who FUCKING LOVED the first Crank and have been counting down the days until the 2nd. They wanted to try something new and share their excitement with the film's other fans. Shame on you for calling them out, you fat fuck. If you think for a fucking second that this is going to inspire others to text / twitter in every film from here on in, then you're a lot dumber than I've ever given you credit for. You've shown time and time again how big of a hypocrite you are... your newfound love / hate relationship with Twitter is no different.

No seriously, Twitter is only fucking pointless and mindless when in the wrong hands. Any cunt can twitter about boring crap. "Hey look! Green poop!" "The cat just meowed! Lawl!" "That man just crawled into my window again... I'm peeing myself in fear." Anyone can do that. It is truly great when used with humor and creativity. Something a large majority of you circus rejects seem to lack. I understand that twittering while watching a movie is fucking retarded/annoying as all fuck. It's also annoying to even see your screen light up in my peripheral. It's fucking distracting. I turn my phone off all the way for those 90+ minutes. For that time, I'm knee deep in cinematic adventures. So, in that sense I agree with you guys. In regards to the Twitter though... you guys are just jealous beetches. You're just mad you didn't jump on this from the get-go. and Harry, you're a hypocrite.
Il_Deuce by shran	Apr 17th, 2009 06:15:04 PM
Good on ya' for not Twittering in the theater. Poor form and all. As a matter of fact, I would go immediately to a theater now, if I were you, and turn my phone off. Forever.

Great score, tons of cameos, one of Arnie's most complicated and poignant roles...you know, if you don't like this movie, I don't think you should be allowed to watch any more of them.

What you said - as awesome as The Stath is, he's not in the same league as Lord Darth Bale, who would have grabbed the bad guy in the first movie, yanked his fucking skeleton out of his body by first reaching down his throat, grabbing the oesophagus and pulling REALLY FUCKING HARD - and then jumped from the helicopter at the end, landed on his feet, and gone off for a marathon fuckathon with Lt Andie MacDowell. Sweeeeeeeeeet downhome peach pie! Yes, BALE>STATH. But there is no shame in this. The Stath still has his pride.
TedKordLives - LAST ACTION HERO by spud mcspud	Apr 18th, 2009 05:48:47 PM
You know, I never understood why that movie got the shitty reviews it did. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it had a great subtext about the magic of cinema - basically it was MICHAEL BAY'S CINEMA PARADISO - and the action in it was more than worthy. Loved the relationship between the kid and Arnie, and the kid and the elderly cinema projectionist - all great wish-fulfilment stuff. Yes it was going head-to-head with JURASSIC PARK, and no-one was going to beat the dinopaurs in 1993 - but LAST ACTION HERO was waaaaay unfairly panned. It's not just a great movie fullstop, it's one of Arnie's best movies too. Charles Dance is great (though he'll alway be Sardo Numspa from THE GOLDEN CHILD to me!) and so is F Murray Abraham ("Don't trust him! He killed Mozart!"). But Arnie's a revelation in this - I love the scene where real Arnie meets Jack Slater and complements him on how much he looks like him, and Jack says "I hate you. You've brought me nothing but pain". There's a depth and pathos to LAST ACTION HERO that's lacking in his other work, and the movie really gets over what it would be like for a movie cop in the real world. Also love the scene where Benedict shoots a gangbanger, then yells "I just shot someone, and I want to confess!", and FUCK ALL HAPPENS - no cops to arrest him, nothing except tired neighbours yelling abuse back at him. Yeah, LAST ACTION HERO gets mad proops from me. Ignore the fucking reviews, everybody. They gave shitty reviews to HUDSON HAWK and BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA too, and both are on heavy fucking rotation in my casa. LAH is the bomb. All hail Braunschweiger!

It was epic-A Road Warrior to mad Max by Mr.LordBronco	Apr 24th, 2009 01:54:39 PM
Harry was spot on with this review-it was almost something you couldn't write a sensible review about. It cannily removed alot of the issues in the forst one that I too had problems with-even though several scenes were classic... I recommend it for theater viewing this weekend because all of the new releases look to be Poo... Do Not take a date unless she can outdrink/do more drugs than you and has a larger porno collection he he Freakin' classic-and i didn't like the first one all that much-and I believe you guys when ya say Transporter 3 was really lame. It was just a differnt movie-not in the same universe as the first...
Asian Stereotypes by HapAvenger	Apr 26th, 2009 12:42:15 PM
Harry, how is it that you are able to write a review of Crank 2 and not mention the buck toothed Asian stereotype played by David Carradine, or the Asian whore stereotype played by Bai Ling? That's like writing a review of Birth of a Nation, without writing about the inherent racism imbued in its portrayal of Black men. This film is loaded with ethnic stereotypes. But I guess if you are white you don't care how ethnic minorities are portrayed, you just care about how Jason Statham dispatches them.
I enjoyed Crank #1 but might wait for video for this. by #1 Zero	Apr 26th, 2009 06:43:53 PM
Just don't have the time to see it in the theater with the friend of mine that appreciated the first one with me. This is simply a cult movie, have low expecations and assume things won't make sense or will be impossible and don't treat it like a serious movie. That's how I see it. But I will say the directors of this film are taking themselves a little seriously. They have another movie coming out in September called Citizen Game or something about a future where people control other people like a video game and make them do things. It stars Gerard Butler and "Dexter" from the show Dexter. I forget his name. Anyway, in the related article for that film on IMDB they talk about how Lionsgate has a new "brand" with their films that are basically saving lionsgate. Like the Saw franchise. They call it the N/T brand after the initials of their last names. I just don't think they're that big yet. Also does anyone remember when Lionsgate put out respectable independent films and now they just put out schlock like saw 8 and the crank films. I guess independent movies are essentially dead regardless of how much the cannes film festival wants to deny it.
