      Extreme Potatoes

      It can be seen that the screenwriter has worked hard to complicate the extremely simple plot in the first part in this sequel, and even used the president's life as a bargaining chip for conspiracy theories, but the helpless cube's hypocritical and portrayal has become a big failure . After breaking away from the symbol of extreme sports - skateboarding, it has become a downright hilarious drama, with famous cars and weapons, mixed with beauty and rap, except for the speed and passion, it is...

      One hit.

      It can be clearly said that the second one is a great improvement over the previous one, and it is not the movie full of loopholes, without any logic and plot.

      The plot is much tighter. The script is still normal, but there are many scenes. It gives people a feeling of tension, but I haven't relaxed this feeling for an hour and a half. The plot is too embodied as fighting and lacks the plot, but it is much better than the first one.

      For actors, the male...

      Beauty sports car plus fighting

      I watched Xtreme Agent II again. The old movies are more reliable. The hot girls of sports cars add gun battles, especially tank battles and aircraft carrier battles. The exciting scenes are very powerful. The former agents fight for freedom. The fate of free America has car thieves and The repairman's decision is ironic. The overall picture is more explosive, the black beauties are also more sexy, and the assistants to the congressmen are also beautiful. One trap after...

      Lively but not exciting

      The sequel of XXX, the plot is not new, but it is quite lively. The CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the President, the White House, the Capitol, the prison, modified cars, tanks, aircraft carriers, and bulletproof trains all went into battle one by one, crackling for 100 minutes.
      The problem is that this time XXX is no longer the cool bald man Vin Diesel in the first episode, but is replaced by the Ice Cube (the one from Barbershop that once played...

    Movie plot

    Agent Augustus Gibb ( Samuel L. Jackson ) of the National Security Agency successfully destroys a criminal organization with the help of his predecessor xXx. Now the emergence of another urgent task makes Gibson continue to engage in the task of finding and training new blood, and the brave and brave Stone ( O'Shea Jackson Sr. ) is Gibson's latest tame goal.

    Behind the scenes gags

    When shooting the chase scene, for safety reasons, the designer and stunt coordinator installed an anti-collision skateboard on the bottom of the vehicle to absorb any impact. In addition, the car’s fuel tank has been reduced to only 5 gallons of gasoline, thereby reducing the risk of fire.
    Two months before the first " xXx " was released in August 2002, Vin Diesel and director Rob Cohen signed to continue to lead the sequel, but in the...

    Creative process

    As the audience likes the tone of "xXx", the background of "xXx2" will be changed, but the tone is the same. The first "xXx" was directed by Rob Cohen , and in the sequel, he turned to be the executive producer.
    In "xXx2", the location of the story is moved back to the United States from abroad, with Washington District of Columbia as the background, which is more powerful and timely. The new agent Darius Stone must be able to adapt to...

      Agent Kyle Steele: I've got some ideas for the next XXX.

      Toby Lee Shavers: Now, wait a minute, it's my turn to pick!

      Agent Augustus Gibbons: I do the picking. We're going further off the grid. Fresh face, new look. I've got the perfect candidate.

      Darius Stone: Don't do it for the red, white and blue! Do it for yourself! Do it for the right to hack and jack outside the White House!

    • [to Gibbons]

      Gen. George Octavius Deckert: I don't know what's more pathetic - a man that plays chess with himself, or a man that doesn't see he's already lost.
