The indestructible hopped-up hitman Chev Chelios, played to
the hilt once again by Jason Statham, returns in Crank High Voltage, picking up
where the first film left off -- except this time, Chelios is chasing a Chinese
gangster who hijacked his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that
needs to be jolted with an electric charge to stay pumping. Back for the fun is
Chev's girlfriend Eve ({Amy Smart}) and his physician Doc Miles (Dwight
Yoakam), who, as luck has it, turns out to be an ex-heart surgeon. As Chelios
delves deeper into the mystery surrounding his stolen heart, he discovers that
the answers to his questions lie within the chest of a 100-year old head of the
Triad gang, Poon Dong (David Carradine. The maverick directing/writing team of
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor returns to inject more caffeinated craziness
into Lionsgate's burgeoning action series, with Efren Ramirez, Bai Ling,
Clifton Collins Jr., and Corey Haim rounding out the supporting cast. ~ Jeremy
