Talk:Crank (film)

message: Hey, it would be cool if someone could weigh in on the medical plausibility of this film's premise.
:Adrenaline shots like EpiPen are quite common and they're easy to obtain, so there's no reason for him to be acting all crazy just to keep his adrenaline up. The film's premise is completely ridiculous. Herorev
:: Pretty sure the filmmakers knew that, given the role epinephrine plays in the plot...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.29.62.109 (talk) 10:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

message: More like the entire screenplay.
:I changed the title to "Expanded Plot". After watching the film, I attempted to write down as much of the plot I could remember and in what order. Obviously, I made a lot of spelling mistakes, and corrections have been made by other users. You are correct on the title, so I changed it. The section now needs more wikilinks and more details/corrections added that I missed or portrayed incorrectly. --Nehrams2020 03:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Have you read the Titanic plot overview? It's just as log if not longer. I agree the article could usme work but it's basically fine as is. Have a plot summary and a detailed version.--TylerXKJ 20:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Are you kidding? Do you know what TL;DR means?  Most people, at least the ones that I know, use wikipedia in reference to moves to see if they want to watch it, not read it.  I think it needs to be cut down at least in half.  I'll gladly edit it, but I won't do so until there seems to be some semblance of ... agreement ... as to how this section should be treated. 3R1C 17:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in agreement here. This synopsis reads as a play-by-play of the entire film, in excruciating detail. Is it really necessary to include the year and model of Chelios's getaway car, or that the poison is usually referred to as "the Chinese shit"? I'm going to trim it down further, but I would appreciate any input from anyone else who's been involved in the revision history. FacultiesIntact (talk) 21:26, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

text:  The current synopsis (as of 14 Jun 2008), omits the very premise of the movie, that is, how the main character will die if his heart rate falls below a certain value. Then it goes on to describe in detail the various crazy stunts he does to keep his adrenaline up. I imagine that if I didn't know the premise of the movie, the synopsis would make no sense as written. I would fix this myself, except that I'd probably get some detail wrong, seeing as I haven't actually seen the movie. 24.6.43.170 (talk) 06:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Synopsis? 

message: I think the last tagline for the movie is incomplete in the section for that.
I believe in the commercials, the full tagline is "Drugs. Sex. Adrenaline. He'll do anything to keep it up."
:This tagline is based off one of the movie posters. --Nehrams2020 22:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the best way to improve the quality rating at this point would be to add a Reception section to the article. Rotten Tomatoes actually shows that this movie has a 60% fresh rating, which on RT is enough to actually consider it a Fresh movie. Entertainment Weekly in late January called the DVD one of the hot things for the week and referred to the movie as their number one guilty pleasure. Things like that. 71.232.25.117 04:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Was the use of Google Earth product placement? Or did the makers of the movie truly want to use it and were willing to go through whatever the licensing of those images entails? 71.125.143.167 01:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  mistake? 

message: I saw the discussion regarding the length of the plot summary.  Not only was it overly detailed, it was riddiculously overlinked as well.  I've trimmed it down to the important elements.  I'm open for expansion, but let's avoid turning it back into what it was before. -- TRTX T / C 03:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've also removed the theme section, as it is entirely speculative. -- TRTX T / C 04:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A year later... 

message: I'm watching the movie right now, and I think using the word "rape" for when he's with Eve is a bit strong...she's yelling about "TAKE ME RIGHT HERE" during it, though was reticent at the beginning.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.66.155 (talk) 03:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: She said no repeatedly and he forced himself onto her. That is rape. CeeKyuuCee (talk) 19:43, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I guess attempted rape, but later Eve consents and gets into it. starts out as rape but eventually it changes to consensual sex. Andy_Howard (talk) 15:25, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't stop being rape just because she accepts it. If I stole something from a store and they later decided I could have it, it does not change the fact that I stole it in the first place. Likewise, Chelios is not absolved from the crime of rape because she started to get into it after the initial NO reaction. CeeKyuuCee (talk) 07:38, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Rape involves intercourse or penetration without consent. Hence, attempted rape took place, but not rape.--188.184.68.38 (talk) 13:09, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A detailed explanation of the sex scene would be too much information for the plot, which is already just under the maximum limit of 700 words. They have sex, that is enough information. Whether or not the sex should be regarded as consensual is only an issue for 'themes' and 'reception' sections, if reliable sources can be found commenting on the issue. There's not much point arguing about it ourselves. Freikorp (talk) 13:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  he rapes Eve 

message: I can't believe there is no acknowledgment anywhere to the movie "Dead On Arrival."   A classic film noir where Edmond O'Brian is poisoned and has a day to figure out who did this to him.  A great opening scene where he walks into a police station to report a murder.  "Who died?"  "Me!"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.38.81 (talk) 05:08, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
