Crank High Voltage - (71% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) Pick of the Week
You thought he was dead...but he got better. Picking up immediately where the first movie left off, Crank High Voltage finds Chev surviving the climactic plunge to his most certain death on the streets of Los Angeles, only to be kidnapped by a mysterious Chinese mobster. Three months later, Chev wakes up to discover his nearly indestructible heart has been surgically removed and replaced with a battery-operated ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity in order to work. Sold. The movie wasn't reviewed for critics, but the few critics that managed to grab midnight screenings are saying its ridiculous, over the top, and 100% fun.
