Short description
Darius Stone's criminal record and extreme sports obsession make him the perfect candidate to be the newest XXX agent. He must save the U.S. government from a deadly conspiracy led by five-star general and Secretary of Defense George Deckert.
What's left behind the scenes
- Actor Vin Diesel and director Rob Cohen signed contracts to participate in the film two months before the premiere of the first installment. However, due to various circumstances, they were later forced to terminate the contracts.
- Renowned composer Jerry Goldsmith advised director Lee Tamahori to pay attention to the promising Marco Beltrami. However, the Italian composer already had soundtracks to such well-known films as "Terminator 3", "I, Robot", and "Hellboy" under his belt at that time.
- Two scripts were written during the pre-production stage: the first took place in Southeast Asia with pirates, and the second took place in Washington. After heated debate, the second option was chosen. Rob Cohen, while in the director's chair, also struggled for a long time to lean towards either option. Ultimately, he decided that one of them would become the second part, and the losing choice would become the third.
- A real photograph of Ice Cube performing on stage with NWA in the late 80s – early 90s was used in the film as an illustration for his character's file.
- For Ice Cube, this film was the highest-budget project of his entire career.
