I saw this last night... holy shit.

I am not sure how to describe this movie. It is very fast paced, very violent, very sexual, and completely ridiculous. Yet it was fun to watch. I won't argue the fact that I am probably dumber for seeing it, but it's nonsensical plot was the point of the first movie, and clearly that message was trying to be made again, only in an exponentially larger way.

Anyone else see it?

I didn't like it as much as the first, though the electric plant fight is amazing.

also, what's up with this guy and ass shots

I saw Jason Statham get dragged by a motor boat while his captor, who had band aids over his nipples due to recently cutting them off, peed on him.

I saw Jason Statham fall off of a balcony at a race track and proceed to bang Amy Smart in every position known to man while the crowd went wild and horses jumped over them.

I saw a stripper get shot in her fake breasts and watched their synthetic contents pour out.

I saw the head of a guy, who died by falling out of a helicopter a mile high, alive yet decapitated in a tank of water hooked up to tubes.

It was fun, but I am dumber.

I NEED to watch this now that it's on DVD and all. I saw the original in theaters and it was the the best thing I've ever seen that year.

You are not dumber for having watched this, you are dumber for watching some dumbass mental flatline of a movie like a romantic comedy or a by the numbers slasher flick or such. Crank 2 is inventive and fast paced, it keeps the brain going cause you know whats gonna happen but not what to expect.

Well, GPFontaine is probably dumber for having watched this, but for everyone else your brain will brim with new levels of awesome.

Didn't want to touch it, considering how idiotic it looked; regardless, I might consider it based on how people praise its campiness though...

There's just this one tiny bit that bothers me: If they just wanted to take his heart, why not kill him altogether instead of simply replacing it with an electric one?

Because that would be a terribly short and boring movie?

They were planning to harvest the majority of his body's organs, however they only had plans to do one at a time.

They even went as far as to tell you which part was next.

Considering how classy the movie is, I'm guessing his junk?

Crank 2 was horrible. Sorry. Unless you watched it as an unintentional comedy. Then it was awesome.

Not only is that not right, that's not even wrong. It's a meaningless statement. Saying something is "one molecule away" from plastic is like saying a farm is one letter away from a fart. Water is "one molecule away" from being explosive hydrogen gas.
