Production
Dismissing that a sequel is not possible, Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine wrote a script for the second movie, which was greenlighted by Lionsgate. Jason Statham turned down other projects in order to re-appear as the protagonist.
Mike Patton, of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle fame, produced and performed the score for Crank: High Voltage.
Lions Gate Entertainment handled North American distribution of the film, while Lakeshore Entertainment and Sony Pictures handled international distribution.
Filming started in April 2008. In order to help keep costs low, the filmmakers took advantage of low-cost prosumer HDV cameras such as the Canon XH-A1, as well as a consumer model, the Canon HF10.
