Have A Look At Crank 2's New Heart

By Kellvin Chavez on April 24, 2008

Being a fan of the first film, I thought that this was really cool about the upcoming sequel "Crank 2: High Voltage"

As everyone in the web world knows that Jason Statham will reprise his role as Chev Chelios in the upcoming sequel but how and what kind of heart does he have this time around to me is newsworthy to share with you guys/gals.

An anonymous source sent me the following information and a two photos of what the new heart looks like and works.

Here is what we got:

Hey Kel!

I know you guys were huge Crank fans so I got the lowdown on how Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) survives into the sequel and what exactly they put into him.

After an 8-bit video game intro sequence, Crank: High Voltage, begins with Chev slamming down into the ground.  Since his heart was already super accelerated on adrenaline…he miraculously and implausibly survived.

Asian gangsters in a black van arrive on the scene and scrape Chelios off the ground.  They toss him inside the van and take off before the authorities and emergency personnel arrive.

Three months later, in an operating room, Chev awakens MID SURGERY strapped down on an operating table.  He can’t move or speak.  His chest is split open!  Chinese doctors remove his heart while the bad guy Johnny Vang watches.  The doctor’s ooooh and aaaahh at the site of “The Chelios Heart.”  It gets placed in a red igloo cooler.  A nurse brings over a futuristic looking artificial heart made from clear flex plastic, black rubber and metal.  Chelios passes out again for another three weeks.

Chev reawakens at a Chinese massage parlor in Long Beach and makes his escape in the movies first action sequence.  He then gets the lowdown on his heart from DOC MILES (Dwight Yoakam).

Chev has been outfitted with an ABIOCOR TOTAL ARTIFICIAL HEART.  It has an internal battery that will pick up once the battery belt dies.  It’s like a reserve tank but only good for one hour. 

The Abiocor is designed to keep you alive only for a couple of days while waiting for a transplant.  It is not built for strenuous activity.

The internal battery charges wirelessly through the transcutaneous energy transfer system – two coils, one internal and one external that transmit power via magnetic force across the skin without piercing the surface.  The internal coil receives the power and sends it to the controller device.  Basically Chev has to keep his body electrically charged to keep his ticker running.  Whereas in the first movie he needed adrenaline to stay alive, in Crank: High voltage he needs jolts of electricity to stay alive.

I’ve included two following images to demonstrate how cool the Abiocor looks and how it works.
