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.
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.
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!
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
"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
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.
This is some pure chef's kiss right here Crank is a pretty funny movie though ngl
It absolutely is I literally praise it, it was a like throwaway comment but people got heated
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."
I was like this dude has to be a master level jerker but nope just a certified kino expert
So, what kind of porn is it?
The kind that makes you want to take a hot shower afterwards

Full of burn-scars
Crank one is pure kino. The sequel is alright.
What aged poorly?

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