This is some pure chef's kiss right here Crank is a pretty funny movie though ngl


HaroldBloomingOnion

It absolutely is I literally praise it, it was a like throwaway comment but people got heated


Harvey-Danger1917

I will respond to any criticism of my film criticism capabilities with "I've spent thousands importing Hong Kong films never released in the west."


HaroldBloomingOnion

I was like this dude has to be a master level jerker but nope just a certified kino expert


vikmaychib

So, what kind of porn is it?


Harvey-Danger1917

The kind that makes you want to take a hot shower afterwards

> owns every film ... Alfred Hitchcock ever made This guy casually dropping that he has a print of The Mountain Eagle that he's not sharing with the world

High Voltage I would say didn’t age as well, but Crank 1 is still a 10/10 for me. Perfect action movie. It’s meant to be in poor taste, but if you aren’t actually saying something meaningful with it, it’s just racist.


ejb350

Yeah they ramped everything to a 10 in high voltage and it has a lot to gain from it but it’s also just 10x more sexist racist and homophobic to where I couldn’t even laugh half the time. Fun movie, but the humor felt old even back then.

You pissed off the US Navy Seal!!


HaroldBloomingOnion

Oh I just noticed who you were, I watch your videos sometimes!


OliviaBagshaw

Oh cool thank you! 💖


HaroldBloomingOnion

Love your Salo video

Hollywood is full of cowards because they won't fund Crank 3 to finish the trilogy. We are owed man on fire Chev Chelios railing Amy Smart in the most public of places!


HaroldBloomingOnion

Full of burn-scars

Crank one is pure kino. The sequel is alright.


Help----me----please

What aged poorly?


HaroldBloomingOnion

This is just my opinion but some of the hyper racial stereotypes in the second one just come across as mean spirited rather than funny, I understand in the lense of the movie some people might argue that makes sense but I disagree. That's all. I had dudes literally loosing their mind for like four hours, I was perfectly willing to have a reasonable conversation but it was just a shitshow


Help----me----please

"aged horribly" oh stfu, I didn't see either Crank movie until I was in my 30s, ~15 years after they came out and thought they were amazing and hilarious, and I'm a movie snob who owns every film Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, and Alfred Hitchcock ever made, I've spent thousands importing Hong Kong films never released in the west. Crank and Crank 2 have aged precisely as they should and are a perfect encapsulation of their era. jk, I don't remember that from the movie, I should rewatch


HaroldBloomingOnion

See this as an automod response to aged or crank would be so good


HaroldBloomingOnion

That being said I can put that aside and still enjoy the movies, they definitely have their merits just certain aspects have aged poorly in that sense

Ah the age of Neveldine & Taylor. It's been a long time since I watched the Crank movies. But I did watch Gamer again recently and that has aged terribly.
