Trivia:
XXX's car is a 1967 Pontiac GTO. The original color was faded green. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The National Security Agency is solely responsible for communications intelligence. They are tasked with securing U.S. communications and trying to intercept and decode other countries' communications. They do not have field operators of the type portrayed in the movie. If they had actionable intelligence it would be turned over to the CIA for their use. Also, the NSA is forbidden to intercept communication originating in the U.S. Exceptions require approval from DOJ and court review process and are very rare. more
Quotes:
[Xander Cage drives a stolen Corvette, which belongs to senator Dick Hotchkiss, and is chased by the police]
Policeman: You in the red Corvette! Pull over immediately.
Xander Cage: Yeah, yeah. These monkeys are following me because I just took this car. Obviously the car doesn't belong to me, it's not my style, it belongs to Dick. Dick Hotchkiss, the California state senator. You remember Dick? He's the guy who tried to ban rap music because he feels that the lyrics promote violence. It's music, Dick! He's also the guy who wants to pull every video game off every shop in the country, because he feels that the video games diminishing intelligence of our youth. Come on, Dick... It's only education we got. Dick, you're a bad man. You know what we do to bad men? We punish 'em. Dick, you've just entered... The Xander zone.
[on the walky-talky]
Xander Cage: Okay, I'm coming in hot with a pat of bacon.
Video Shooter #1: Go. Go, go, go, go!

Video Shooter #2: Pull it! Pull it!
[Xander jumps out of the Corvette with a parachute]
Video Shooter #2: Yes!

Great Action Movie/Comedy, 17 August 2002
10/10
Author: Jason (Jayman367) from New Jersey

The story to this movie was very different and creative. Even though people say it is a James Bond rip off, it is some way very different. The action scenes in this movie was great. Well done. A great cast for this movie. Vin Diesel was great for this part. I can't wait for the sequel to this movie. I am defiantly going to see it. It will probably be another great experience!!
