Goofs

After Xander's new team has boarded the airplane, the airplane is shown from the outside, flying. In this particular shot, the airplane is black, but in every other shot where you can see the plane, it has the standard gray color for military aircraft. The number on the airplane, 24342, does not change, however.

User Reviews

i could definitely make that work..

Return Of Xander Cage

Dumb but cool, clichéd but refreshing, soulless but entertaining. Same old story, same old dialogues, same old content and same old humour. Nothing new, at all; but it still won't bore you, with all the fighting sequences and pathetic jokes. It lacks vividness and also needs some polishing, but i guess at the end you won't be disappointed. Good visual effects, good stunts and some cool music are the only highlights. No wow factors(except for some cameos), totally predictable and a typical Vin Diesel film with no brains attached.

Unless you are a XXX fan, don't waste your money.
