'Crank 2' Trailer Takes NSFW To Next Level
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips

So the first trailer for Crank 2: High Voltage has hit the internets, and the thing is beyond NSFW (not safe for work). It opens with Asian men performing some sort of weird surgery on Jason Statham (who's awake and watching), then leaps into a montage of foul-mouthed obscenities before introducing a character who apparently likes to spend his days slapping the bare behind of an African American woman -- and then we get action, guns, blood, sex, nudity, more cursing and then Amy Smart shows up. Phew. Watching it felt like riding a dangerous rollercoaster through a porn factory.
Needless to say, this is probably the dirtiest and filthiest trailer of the year -- and I kinda like how it's arrived on December 31st. Crank 2, written and directed by those freaks Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, picks up where the original Crank left off and follows a man whose heart has been stolen by a Chinese mobster and replaced with a battery-powered heart that needs jolts of electricity to keep working. We've posted the trailer after the jump, because it's ... just ... nasty. You've been warned ...
Crank 2: High Voltage hits theaters on April 17.
UPDATE: Because we love Lionsgate and want them to have a happy New Year too, we've gone ahead and removed the trailer at their request. Apparently this is not supposed to be out in the world yet in this form. Sorry about that, folks.

The booty slapping man is Dwight Yoakam, reprising his role as Doc Miles. I thought Crank looked and sounded like the stupidest movie ever, until I saw it. Now I think it is absolutely brilliant. I even own the extended German cut of the movie on HD DVD.
Crank 2 looks even stupider, which if their track record is kept means it'll be even more brilliant.

What a joke of a movie. It looks like they took Crank feed it lots of Stupid pills. But man does it look fun, and Corey Haim with a Mullet, whats not to love.
Although didn't the original end with him falling out of an airplane (or helicopter) heading to the ground without a hope of surviving? Wonder how they'll explain that away.

Yes it did end with him falling from a helicopter, so they're probably going to explain that with the mysterious surgery.
That's part of the horribleness of this trailer.

Thank God Lionsgate took that trailer down... what a piece of sh*t! What an embarassment of a movie. Even if I were just a lowly PA on that movie, I'd ask to have my name removed from the credits

You can't blame them for trying to be serious!
I love Amy Smart's line..."I know how this game works..."
and did you see Chester Bennington?!, too funny.
