The ‘Most Necessary’ Sex Scene In A Movie Has An Equally Memorable Sex Scene In The Film’s Sequel
Earlier this week, we wrote about the “most unnecessary sex scene in a movie,” which is, in fact, the most necessary sex scene in a movie. If Jason Statham‘s adrenaline-junkie Crank character Chev Chelios (what a fantastic collection of words) doesn’t have sex with Amy Smart as she’s bent over a mailbox in public while a crowd cheers them on, he’ll literally die.
The (sigh) discourse around (double sigh) sex scenes in movies brought a lot of overdue attention to Crank and its batsh*t sequel, Crank: High Voltage, which has an equally memorable — and necessary — sex scene. As X user @Douggernaut_2 wrote, “was super heartening to see everyone go ‘No this sex scene is actually super necessary’ in response to the Crank scene. but i must remind everyone that the sequel’s sex scene is even better. amy smart super underrated in these ‘Give the kitty some more cream!’ is so gd funny.”
Fair warning: this scene is more NSFW than the Crank clip.

Back in 2006, Statham was asked about having sex in public in the original Crank. “I was concentrating on what I was up to,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I mean, the most challenging thing was because it was uncharted territory for me. I’ve done a lot of things in action films, but I’ve never had to do what we had to do in this movie, me and Amy [Smart, his costar]. Oh god! I have to take my hat off to her because you know she really did indulge herself, with no princely attitude — she was really game!”

Not even remotely joking when I say that Crank 2 is one of my favorite movies of all time. I own 3 feature film DVDs, this is one of them. I’ve cried laughing at this movie every rewatch. True masterpiece. https://t.co/ozj0qLrvlR

I will always repost Crank 2. It’s the best “bad” movie ever made and I will absolutely die on this hill https://t.co/MHAWFvpJDv

She should have been a much bigger deal. Fearless performer with generational comedic chops. https://t.co/Zy4P5BildG
