What?! (About Crank 2)

[slycat]

I really enjoyed the film Crank with Jason Statham. Found it to be a fun action movie which didn't take itself too seriously. However Statham has now revealed there will be a sequel despite the main character falling out of a plane and falling onto a road without a parachute. However they're saying he didn't actually die from this O.o (sorry if you've not seen it and I've spoiled the ending but it has been out for a while now). To quote Empire:

Talking about the shaven-head, plain-taking purveyor of ass-whippery, what’s he got coming up then? Well, aside from a remake of Death Race, there’s sequels to The Transporter and Crank in the works – but hangon, didn’t the brilliantly named Chev Chelios die at the end of the original Crank? How does that work then?

“It works because we want it to work,” said Statham. “He lives at the end - if you look closely you can see a little blink and hear a little heartbeat. He gets shovelled off the street and slung into the back of a van and the rest I can’t tell you. It’s a continuation straight from the end of the last one.”

Now I know it didn't take itself too seriously like I said, but having him survive that drop and the Beijing cocktail he was given is just ridiculous... I'm sure the heartbeat and blink were just in jest. Ah well I read this and thought that this is another weak idea for a sequel but I may be surprised yet.
