Crank and Crank 2-oh what ridiculous fun!

mine are:
Revolver
The Mechanic
Transporter 3

Transporter 3 was really seeing in theatre with my crew.

 

T3

Stath? Movie..has to be his last great choreographed fight scene. The freckled girl ( kinda of sexy ) was the director’s girlfriend. Laughed when she took a p in the shop. Lol

 

Great memory! I want one more great Stratham throwback action flick.

 

T3

Memory?
I watched it the other night. Te he.


One more action flick?

Yeah .. me as well.

Like the break out prison scene ( with Rock) in the F&F film. Great choreography.

JS is 53 ( if his knees hold up) I’d like him to see him doing another Crank ( a we bit difficult..a ghost ).
SPY 2
Missed out on being James Bond, he’d have been brilliant.

 

Love both of them.

Not a boring scene in either of them.

Pure fun and craziness.

Would love a third one!!

 

How often do you watch a Stratham flick?

 

just picked up the BD double header for a buck used...I love the low pricing on BD lately! you are right, 2 fun movies...but I get tired watching them! ha!

 

me too! but does he still have the energy? he must have rested a week after both.

 

I think I would have enjoyed Jason more, but I did enjoy Gerald.
have you seen Greenland with Gerald?...excellent!

 

Guess fairly regular.
The other action guy I like is Gerald Butler, but he seems to pick crap film choices apart from 300, Gamer and Den Of Thieves.
DOT 2 getting made.

 

Keanu set the high bar for mindless action flicks with the John Wick series. Good combat scenes and he does his own stunts with the cars, too. He also has good attention to detail with the firearms and clips. No limitless shooting or completely nonsensical stunts like in Crank.

 

Well the thread title “ridiculous fun “.
Say no more !!!!

 

John Wick doesn’t have “completely nonsensical stunts” ?

 

I guess it's all relative, but I don't see any "Crank" type stunts in John Wick. The most outlandish were the scenes in JW3 involving dogs, and even in that you could see a lot of coreography and training went into it. All the stunts are hand-to-hand combat or driving-based and have an authenticity that is lacking in other action films because KR does his own stunts and has experience with race car driving and guns. They're filmed with more straight-ahead style without the bizarre angles and cheap tricks of other action flicks.

 

Haha. Forgot about that one. Still sets a high bar for action movies.

 

Statham is too rough to be a good Bond; put him in a tux and he looks like a bouncer at a Monte Carlo casino. He’d be a good Bond nemesis or ally though.

 

You should start a Jason Statham thread.

 

Oh man I don’t have a death wish lol. Stratham himself wouldn’t have the guts to do that .

 

What do you like about Revolver ?
A bit of a crazy mind f.

Maybe that’s why I like it. Lol.

 

It’s a crazy mind f like The Prestige. Love JS’s narration trying to figure out the con.

 

Revolver?
Ray Liotta is pretty good in it as well.
He’s also in the Dungeon film with JS( my least favourite JS film).

 

Jason is so loved/hated IMO because he’s such a cool bad-ass .

 

He admits he’s no actor, but oozes gravitas.

 

Just did a “triple threat.” Maybe that’s why I’m the neighborhood wood chopping king .
Taken
Fast And The Furious (2009)
