9. Grabs hold of part of an electrical sub-station
“You're more likely to fry your brain and your muscles than you are to recharge an electric heart.
"High voltage can cook tissue quite effectively. If you see someone struck by lightning they've often got these blue-black patterns called Lichtenberg figures on the surface of their skin.
"They look a bit like the veins of a leaf, but they're actually coagulated blood - because the electricity follows the path of least resistance and blood vessels conduct the electricity very effectively - which coagulates the blood in them.”
So is any of this likely to be possible in the future?

"In fact this kind of technology is almost certain to come, because you can't have an indefinite power supply inside. Unless it's nuclear! That'll probably be the premise of Crank 3 - a nuclear-powered hard man. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the thorax...”

yeah man. i hate people who say it's bull. it's a bloody movie. it's not reality, it's action and it's fun. really, what statham does best. it's supposed to be over the top, and like many other films (shoot 'em up, planet terror etc) that's what makes them work.
