Continuity: When Chev's doctor tells him to find some epinephrine at the hospital, he tells Chev the drug is stored in syringes (it is stored this way, at least in ERs so it is ready for immediate use). When Chev finally gets the nurse to hand him the drug from the crash cart, he is handed empty syringes and a vial of the medicine. See more »

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 Nintendo
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 »
