Jason Statham is quickly becoming one of today's best action stars. He's certainly one of my favorites. In new photos from Crank 2: High Voltage he shows off another talent -- pain endurance.

Check out the shot of Statham with the jumper cable attached to his nipple. That makes my eyes water just looking at it. The new photos were posted over the weekend at Film School Rejects.

For Jason's sake, I sincerely hope that's a prosthetic nipple. (I hope you find as much sophomoric humor in the phrase "prosthetic nipple" as I do.)

Crank 2: High Voltage -- the sequel to 2006's action thrill ride Crank -- hits theaters on April 17. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, and Efren Ramirez return along with Statham. Clifton Collins Jr. joins the cast.
