Yeah you hit the nail on the head there I think. The first one was clearly made for a bit of a laugh, and the point of the second was I think to parody the first - a bit like Conan the destroyer was to Conan the Barbarian.Taekwon-joe wrote:The thing about the crank films is you just have to take the piss while watching it. I was laughing so hard cos it was all just so stupid. It doesn't take itself seriously and neither should the viewer.

Re: Expendables
This movie was so damn amazing, It took me a bit to get into this but after a while it just became brilliant stupid fun
Re: Expendables
I love the Crank films, and I actually think the second one is far superior.
Mike Patton did the soundtrack, which is simply one of the best actual soundtracks to a film I've heard in years.
That added to the onscreen craziness, and I came away feeling like I'd just watched the best art film I've ever seen!

Re: Expendables
I heard its not been the great 80s style action blockbuster we were all expecting but instead just a normal modern action film with some familiar faces.
