		icegreentea on Nov 21, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: "God help you. You're on dialysis." There are multiple implantable artificial hearts in use right now. They're really only good in cases of near total heart failure, and generally only work to extend life by ~year at most (for now). Crank High Voltage has one of these as a plot device. Did anyone actually watch that movie?

Yep ! Totally crazy movie with Jason Statham. If you can recommand similar movies I'm listening! (already saw the sequel BTW)

High Voltage IS the sequel; or is there a third one out that I haven't heard of yet?
