Crank 2 pick up the “ Jason Statham must keep his Adrenalin up or die ” premise of the original Crank , and tote up a lunacy factor of 100 . In the sequel to the Speed ringer , Statham ’s “ nigh indestructible ” heart has been replaced with a electric battery - power artificial pump , which he has to keep zap with electricity , or it ’ll run down . The sequel will also delve into the character ’s puerility , and what makes him such a lunatic .
Did you even know they were making a second Crank motion picture ? Me neither .
Crank 2 ’s villain is Hu Dong , a 100 - yr - sure-enough Chinese gangster who steals Chev ’s super - heart to restore himself and become “ as horny as a teenager . ” Two Chinese Doctor perform the heart transplanting on Chev , although it ’s not clear why they bother to give him an artificial sum . They wrongly conceive that Chev is too to a great extent sedated to have difficulty , so they decide to harvest his testicles as well — at which point Chev wakes up and kills them . At one point , Chev finds a 65 - year - onetime fair sex at the slipstream racetrack and rubs against her to get “ static electrical energy back into his system . ” She later on “ delightedly and profanely ” relives the minute on live television .
Meanwhile , Chev ’s cowardly doc , Dr. Ankleson(pictured above ) , has an irritable female healer who orders him “ off the lounge and back to reality , ” with fatal result .
And yes , the film will give us deep insights into who Chev really is , deep down in the heart he no longer has . A casting notice seeks people to toy :
Chev as a untried male child
a campy talking - show master of ceremonies who interviews the vernal Chev and Chev ’s ma
a thwart detective who essay to realize the bond between Chev and his girl Eve , and
a young ( mayhap au naturel ) stemmer who ’s in the back of a car which Chev and Eve steal .
Okay , so maybe that last one does n’t have much to do with exploring Chev ’s character . [ Spoiler TV ]
