Quotes
Chev Chelios:
[calmly]
Well, I'm glad to hear that. Listen, I've been fatally poisoned, there's probably a psychopath heading over there to torture and kill you as we speak, but don't bother getting out of bed, I'll be there in a flash... Maybe you could fry me up a waffle or something, kay?

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 »
This movie really is fully packed with action and humor. it has
everything that can keep your heart pumping for the whole movie.
A hit-man chasing and killing bad guys with guns knives and everything
he can find. there is a lot of gunfight and explosives. But the movie
really is funny too. the whole crowd in the theater were laughing out
loud here at the "avant-première" in Montreal.
during the opening sequence, some dizziness begin to overwhelm you
because of a shaky and blurred camera but i guess this is exactly what
the director was expecting. This "shaky hand" camera effect is reused
throughout the movie adding to the perspective and helps one get
plunged in the movie.
The special effects are mainly car crashes and explosions, but are
really well executed and very inventive. And the story, well, the story
isn't really what you seek when choosing to go see this kind of movies,
but in crank, the storyline is actually pretty good. It could probably
be resumed in half a page though :)
I would say that it is one of the most balanced humor/action movie i've
seen in the past years.
