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 (
my 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.
