xXx	comment	xXx (pronounced "Triple X") is a 2002 action film directed by Rob Cohen from a script by Rich Wilkes. The film stars Vin Diesel as the rebellious Genius Bruiser Xander Cage, a fugitive stuntman pressed into service by NSA agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson). What follows is a series of action-movie-setting "tests" of Xander to see if he is ready for the mission for which he has been recruited: the infiltration of anarchistic terrorist group "Anarchy 99". The group's leader Yorgi (Marton Csokas) is a former KGB agent, trained to sniff out American spies, which means that the vast majority of regular, less x-treme NSA agents have been deemed unfit.The film has at its core the outright rejection of many of the Tuxedo and Martini tropes (for better or worse), and an extended sequence at the beginning (where tux-clad NSA agent Jim McGrath completely fails at his mission and gets killed at a heavy metal concert) is clearly a Take That! to the James Bond franchise.Followed by xXx: State of the Union (known as xXx2: The Next Level outside the US and Canada) which stars Ice Cube as Ex-Navy Seal Darius Stone, who joins the NSA after Xander's apparent death (or at least Vin Diesel's stand-in).A third film titled xXx: Return of Xander Cage was released in 2017, which like the title implies would see the return of Xander Cage, who had seemingly been killed offscreen in the previous movie.If you're wondering about the title, it was so named to make it harder to find on online piracy sites, since they were already flooded with things labeled "XXX". Not related to the 2017 horror anthology film XX.

Unfortunately, the film ignores the weapon most of the time. It actually backfires on him in one scene, since he's under fire and has the gun stuffed with the complete package. He shoots a radio bullet into a wall before switching to an exploding one.

The only crime we see him commit onscreen is stealing and crashing the car of a zealous Moral Guardian politican.

The man meets his end when he gets targeted by a heat seeking round that locked onto his cigarette. Like in the tradition of the James Bond films this one is parodying, Xander is issued a bunch of useful gadgets that all come in handy. However, the gadgets and weapons he had put in his car just in case turn out to be useless for stopping the sub during the climax, forcing him to improvise.

Also, they would be state crimes and he wouldn't be sent to Leavenworth (a federal prison). Of course, the chief could have just been saying that to pressure him into working for him. The NSA does not have agents in the field—they're strictly signals intelligence (phone calls, emails, that sort of thing). Non-military human intelligence is the CIA's business.

xXx / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
xXx / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Quite a few throughout the film: The NSA agent seen in the infamous opening scene pulls off his Spy Catsuit to reveal a pristine tux to blend in while running from the bad guys. He then runs smack-dab into the mosh pit of a Rammstein concert where heâ€™s immediately spotted and killed; when youâ€™re trying to blend in, itâ€™s a good idea to make sure your outfit matches the place youâ€™re going to be. Xander passes the diner test more out of necessity than anything (they were pointing guns at him after all), and when offered a job by Gibbons, he immediately says he wants no part of it. Heâ€™s then shipped out of the country (while unconscious) and thrown into the middle of a Colombian cartelâ€™s territory. He still refuses - not everyone is going to jump at the call, even if they have the skills for the job and especially when the person giving them the offer put them through a â€œtestâ€� that almost got them killed. The movie in general goes out of its way to subvert I Know Mortal Kombat, despite Xanderâ€™s reassurances to Shavers. He doesnâ€™t know about the safety on his assault rifle and takes multiple full-auto bursts to hit Yorgi (with realistic recoil issues to boot). He also has to have the heat-seeker rocket set up for him; without proper training, real life advanced weapon systems arenâ€™t always going to be user-friendly. While spying on the construction of Ahab, Xander witnesses the mass murder of the scientists by nerve gas and the utter inhuman disregard by Anarchy 99. Does he have Nerves of Steel? Nope, he has a full-on panic attack complete with open tears. Despite being a thrill-seeker, watching a group of people suffer an agonizing death while they beg for their lives is enough to break trained soldiers, much less a civilian.

Also, there have been several celebrities who have worked as intelligence agents after becoming famous. Between the two, the movie got more right than one might expect. Intelligence agencies and police often use people who would blend into the group they infiltrate. With no real ties to the agency, there is no danger of blowing the cover, because there is no cover to start with. Nicely shown in the scene when Yorgi meets Xander who is accepted after being recognized as a notorious adrenaline junkie.

He figures it out just before Danny Trejo goes to work on him with a machete.

The hero, on the other hand, has almost exactly the same social philosophy without the "killing people" part.

xXx / int_f142aaf5	comment	Diner Brawl: Xander Cage is abducted from his home by government agents, and wakes up the next day in a busy road diner. Almost immediately there's a stick-up by two armed men, but Cage easily dispatches both of them. Agent Gibbons reveals himself and explains that this was a test which Cage passed, but asks why Cage was confident enough to just walk right up to the second gunman and grab his shotgun. Cage points out all the increasingly unlikely discrepancies he noticed; one of the gunmen packing a cop-issue Beretta and the other one dressed up as a broker on a Sunday when the stock market is closed he deemed unlikely, but still plausible; a career waitress coming to work in high heels, however, was beyond the realm of physical possibility, so he realized that if she was fake, then the whole setting was fake and the guns only had blanks.

xXx / int_f3b51eba	comment	High Heel Hurt: Xander Cage is drugged by government officials and wakes up in a diner that is about to be robbed. He quickly realizes that the scenario is a test because too many things about the diner do not add up. The clincher is that the waitress is wearing high heels. No waitress would wear high heels to work since she would be crippled in a few days.
