Trivia

There are a number of references to 80's arcade games in the film. In the opening credits there are flashes of arcade boot up sequences and the high score table of Robotron: 2084 is briefly displayed. Verona's sidekick is seen playing Berzerk in the car. The humanoid graphic of Berzerk is also displayed on the male toilet door Chev enters. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: During the convertible chase, Chev fires out the passenger window at one of the cars. A moment later, the car swings left around a curve, and the passenger window is up. After the second car wrecks, the passenger window is down again. See more »

Crazy Credits

At the very end of the credits, we see "Crank" as if it was a retro
video game. Chev shoots two henchmen, then he takes a needle containing
drugs and goes into RAMPAGE mode and runs fast. He runs into another
henchman who injects
him with "The Bejing Cocktail", the camera zooms in on Chev's heart which
explodes and blood splatters on the screen. And the words "Game Over"
appears on the screen. See more »
