In Adrenaline 2, Jason Statham tries to regain his own heart, stolen by the Chinese who are deprived of the instinct of self-preservation, and takes an active part in the memorable erotic scene. About who invented and implemented this story will tell the publication.
Not stopping there
The first "Adrenaline", which had a very modest budget, became an example of an action film that managed to withstand only one successful idea. The authors of the project, M. Neveldine and B. Taylor, shot an action movie in which, apart from the chase, there was nothing and could not be. At the same time, he looked in one breath and intrigued the viewer.
The sequel in all respects was supposed to be an ideal continuation, since the commercial success of the original picture untied the hands of dashing directors. However, not everything came about as intended. The creators, concentrating on entertainment, made the film “Adrenaline: High Voltage” (2009). Actors, almost without significant losses, almost in full force migrated to the second part. But in addition to chases, torn off in brawls of limbs, the authors paid special attention to the inappropriate cascade of jokes below the belt and the flow of foul language. As a result, the film “Adrenaline: High Voltage” (2009) with actors D. Statem and E. Smart in the lead roles received an IMDb rating of 6.20 and an age limit of 18+. It can be considered only half successful, where Stateham fights and runs. Everything else is like a joke repeated twice.
Short storyline
In the film “Adrenaline: High Voltage” (2009), the actors embodied on the screen the following idea of the creative tandem of the authors. The narration of the second part continues the finale of the first. Having fallen from an unreal height exceeding several kilometers, Chev Chelios dies. A medical team immediately goes to him, who, by order of the Chinese leader of the mafia, tries to extract a powerful heart and organ from the body of the hero, which is lower than the abdomen. Having cut out the heart, doctors, in order to slow down the death of other organs, insert an artificial motor into it, which is recharged with huge doses of electricity. Because of this, the sequel and has the subtitle “High Voltage”. But then the unexpected happens. Chev Chelios comes to life, eliminates the entire group of doctors and, after consulting with Dr. Miles (Dwight Yokam), sets off in search of that same mafioso and his heart.
Two deaths do not happen
Jason Statham in the role of Cheva Chelios is traditionally incomparable. His hero, in pursuit of his heart, killed and shot half of the population of Los Angeles. He is like an immortal cyborg with a fiery motor in his chest, which requires periodic recharging from something electric. Against the background of other action movie freaks, he looks like the most normal person.
Amy Smart in "Adrenaline: High Voltage" performed the frankly near-by girlfriend of the protagonist. The audience is confused by the scene of sophisticated sex of the character of State with the stripper Yves (heroine Smart) on the treadmill of the hippodrome. This episode, having entered the latest history of Hollywood cinema, put forward the creators of the picture for the role of movie heirs of the great Tarantino. Neveldine and Taylor seem to have destroyed the last moral principles of Hollywood.
On the arena are the same
In addition to the medical consultant Chelios, whose image was embodied by Dwight Yokam, as all the characters in the sequel rely on the screen, almost all the characters of the original tape returned.
Efren Ramirez played the role of Venus, the twin brother of the deceased transvestite Kailo, he is destined to work together with gay friends to save the life of the presumptuous protagonist.
Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington appears as a skinny drug addict in an episode at the Hippodrome.
In the film “Adrenaline: High Voltage” (2009), novice actors keep up with their experienced colleagues. Chinese artist Bai Lin, who once tortured Emilienne in the third part of Taxi, plays the role of a somewhat insane prostitute in the project of Neveldine and Taylor, who managed to fall in love with Cheva.
But David Carradine is more surprised than others , on whose image the make-up artists have worked so hard that in the film he simply cannot be recognized, his transformation is so strong.
Breaking all kinds of taboos
Despite the most unpleasant thoughts about the advisability of releasing "High Voltage", the action movie fully justified itself. The sequel quite organically fit into the original story and became the continuation of the traditions outlined in the 2006 movie. The second part is faster, crazier, tougher, more frank and more inventive than the first. The film “Adrenaline: High Voltage” (2009), whose actors will certainly be remembered by the public for its vivid roles, is an incredibly daring and vibrant project.
