It is on in a half hour on Showtime, which is also showing the fights later. Is it worth watching?

That does sound pretty good right now. I liked the Transporter movies though, so maybe Crank is pretty good.

We watched "War" the other night. It was pretty good.

Yeah, I liked War. Rogue is a bad mofo.

Crank was pretty good. Had some ridiculous scenes...and I don't mean ridiculous as superlative...I mean ridiculous. But I'd still recommend it to most.

Butterbean · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2008, 05:30:36 PM »

Speaking of ridiculous, did you see "Shoot 'em up?" It was ridiculous but fun. I laughed through a lot of it.

No, haven't seem that one. I might rent it next time I go to Blockbuster.

You'll like it, Danielson. Especially during the coke scene.

I don't recall watching him before Shoot 'em up...but I like him now -- I think his name is Clive Owen?

So ya liked it, eh?

That part was pretty funny. Amy Smart is pretty hot, although her character was dumb as shit. I could care less whether that dude lived or died in the end, but it seems to me that since the movie was so out there anyway that they would have found a way to cure him. I give the movie about a 5 out of 10 overall. Definitely the worst Stathom movie I have seen, but I really like all the others.

Yup...there's definitely something about Amy Smart. My girl has the hots for Jason Statham and has said the same thing about Crank, being "OK". I thought it was great...in a cheesy way.

yeah, Crank is good!

Crank's a good film - wouldn't say it's as good as Transporter but still good nonetheless.

Montague · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2008, 02:40:46 PM »

I haven’t yet seen Crank, but am familiar with its premise.

I guess the fact that Statham is in the sequel sort of spoils the first one’s surprise ending for me.

What the hell is Crank's sequel?

When I saw his name attached to the sequel that begins filming in April, I concluded he did not die at the end of the first.

He SO died in the first one. Prequel maybe?

From IMDB.com:
Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.

The plot thickens...
