Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe car is painted with a special paint, called an "interference pigment", invented by Flex Products, which appears to change color when viewed from different angles.
- GoofsDuring the chase of the bullet train, the operator of the train states that he cannot stop the train as he has no air pressure for the air brakes. In reality, air brakes work by supplying air to the brake pistons to keep the brake pads off of the rotor or away from the drum. When you apply the brakes, air pressure is removed from the system allowing spring pressure to force the pad to contact the rotor or drum. This is a fail-safe mode safety feature designed for an instance just like this. Thus, if the brakes lose air, the vehicle comes to a stop, and doesn't lose its ability to brake.
- Quotes
Darius Stone: Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal.
Agent Augustus Gibbons: I like that. Who said it? Jefferson? Patton?
Darius Stone: Tupac.
- Alternate versionsFor the UK DVD release Sony kept the cut version instead of submitting the uncut version. They even went a step further and used this cut PAL master for all countries where this standard is used.

Featured review
xXx was good, this was awful
I'm not the one usually clanking down on movies, but I knew this was bad news, when I heard one of the extraz in the behind talked about xXx, meaning Xander Cage, died in a mission in Bora-Bora. I don't know if that's the directors, or any other of the film- crews way of getting even with Vin Diesel for canceling his starring on this movie. But it sure leveled the movies credentials from say 10 smack down to 2 on a scale.
Set aside from the 'small' deviations (The hyped up, black style-ish way with rap-ish music, talk & walk) from the first movie, style and actors performances (Note, Cube & Vin are totally different so I'm not talking about the actual acting- skills, but their way of, hell, I guess it would be after all, classed as acting. Their acting- style to say the least). The utmost first thing i reacted on was the opening scene where they blow several holes in the ground. Using some sort of self- drilling explosives, just something that belongs in a real Sci- Fi flick. That just threw me off a bit.
One other thing, when xXx2 (Cube) takes a little jump with the (swamp?)boat..? Come the *beep* on..!!? Who the hell could do a jump with that precision, without calculating the jump for at least a month..? Just plain stupid. Then there are the final scene, two things; First when he jams the car up on the rail, wobbling from one side to the other..?
Even his ancestors would have turn into scrap metal just being family with this guy. Secondly, blasting the crap out of the rear section, tail, call it what you will, smacking the front of the car inside what's left of the rear end of the train, climbing onto, and inside the train, the millisecond after he jumps of the car, it starts playing stray ping- pong ball, doing more back-flips then a dolphin on drugs.
He also fights like a sissy (many openings for a-smack-down-to-the-bones- kinda punch. Sadly, this happens in a lot of movies)
Don't get me wrong, this comment is quite harsh, to many it probably seems like I don't know what I'm talking about, some do. Hey, that's life
Lastly, I want to point out that this movie is quite entertaining although I just pinned it down far down 'critic's lane' I gave it 3 out of 10. There are far more worthless movies, to name one: The Mangler 2.0 (Yeah, I know, different genre, but still, that's a BAD movie!)
See this movie, see what I'm talking about. Well worth the price in the theaters (Not that I paid any, but but..)
Oh, another thing, I don't know if it was a money- issue, but this one's a bit shorter, it's only 101 minutes long, whilst the first movie was 124 minutes (132 for Directors Cut).
If they'd extended the whole plot to about the same length, it probably would have given a better impression. Doing the aftermath, this movie was a bit too intense.
But but, anyway, this is my a bit of my perspective of this movie. Make up your own...
A little, I don't intend to rack down on colored ppl. If you must know, I'm 50/50 myself.
Peace out.
