It's kinda confusing - the first was "Crank" and the 2nd's website is 
"crank2.com" - yet the film seems to be listed as "Crank: High Voltage"

Take a look at IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1121931/

It's a "next gen" type film - very much geared to the younger crowd. The 
theater I saw it in had about 10 people (it was a Monday night), but I 
definitely heard laughter. BTW: lots of Spanish and Chinese words 
getting thrown around too, which seems to be a next gen thing as well...

Again, I'm not going to recommend this film for any other reason than so 
you can see what HDV looks like on the big screen. I'm wondering what it 
would have looked like if they'd have used something with removable 
lenses, like a Canon XLH1 or an EX3 (which I doubt was even out at the 
time they started shooting)...
