Crank

[Chinatown Kid]

I seen the advertisment for the movie Crank starring Jason Statham on tv recently and see it will be coming out shortly. Anybody got any info on the plot and who is choreographing the fights? I'm pretty sure it's probably Corey Yuen as he did the Transporter films, I'm guessing this film will have the same style. Definately looks to be interesting!

[David 83CA]

I'm sorry, I had no idea this film featured no martial arts or I would have posted it in the cult film section. I figured Jason Statham had become known for action movies featuring martial arts so I thought this film would feature the same, guess this must be just a straight up action film but looks like it could be good nonetheless. 8)

A simple look-see at the IMDB would have corrected that. :)

Yes I guess I could have, but I went by the trailer they showed on tv instead. I don't think it's that big a deal though as the mods moved it to the right section. Please forgive my mistake anyways though, I'll try to find out more info on a film in the future before posting. ;)

wow I saw it last night. It gets my vote for movie of the year. Totally over the top and well made. A bit experimental as well.

[The Running Man]

Anyone else caught the flick?

It's very fun, crazy as hell. My favorite action movie since RUNNING SCARED. I think both films represent a new wave in action filmmaking. Good times ahead.

From what you guys have said I'm definately going to have to check this flick out at the theatre over the next weekend. To anybody that's seen this, does Statham do any martial arts at all in this film? I still want to see it even if it doesn't, I just find it hard to believe that after coming off the Transporter films and becoming recognized for that, that he woudn't showcase some martial arts in the film and waste his skills.

I saw it on saturday and I have to agree with you guys
it's f'ing crazy (in a good way) very entertaining.
No martial arts in it, but still it's a must see IMO
Too bad it didn't do well at the box office.

Hey it has already made the production costs back. That is a good thing. It has made 21 Million and cost 12 Mil to make.

I know, according to hollywood that isn't a hit but still.....If it gets to 36 Million+ they have trippled their money. That is a good investment.

Thanks for the info guys, sounds like it will be a great action film anyways! :)

I loved it, the best thing I have seen Statham in since Snatch
