Goofs
|
Crew: Crew member in orange jacket is reflected in the window of the restaurant where XXX takes Yelena for lunch. Crew: When Xander and Yelena are seen in the restaurant from the sniper's perspective, a crew member is reflected in the window (wearing a baseball cap and red jacket). Continuity: When Xander throws the bombs that start the avalanche he opens his jacket to take out the explosives. In the next shot his jacket is closed but there is too little time to zip it up. Continuity: When following the Ahab, Xander and Yelena drive on left side of the river, thus they should turn right to go over the bridge. They go left. Continuity: When Xander steals the red Corvette, the people the Senator and Janelle are talking to briefly disappear (then reappear) between shots. Continuity: While chasing the Ahab on the river inside the GTO, during close-ups shots "Yelena" has tooth braces in some shots and then the other close-ups her tooth braces disappear, back and forth. GEOG: Ahab is supposed to cruise the world's oceans after passing through Prague; there are dams and weirs (at least one right in the middle of Prague) which would prevent it. Continuity: When Xander is chasing the bomb-boat with Yelena, they go through a village blasting through the potato carts. Both car lights are blown out by the rockets, but reappear afterwards, then disappear again. Continuity: The logo on the front of the Pontiac GTO disappears and reappears between shots throughout the movie. Continuity: When Xander arrives in Colombia, his jacket disappears and reappears between shots. Continuity: The tattoos on Xander's arm switch throughout the movie. Revealing mistakes: When XXX sneaks into Yorgi's lair to rescue Yelena, he jumps down and pushes his hand against a 'brick' wall - the wall gives noticeably indicating it is not solid. Continuity: SPOILER: The black eye and broken nose of Polk, the head-butted agent, are healed only a few days later on the bridge for the climax of the movie. Revealing mistakes: When Xander is using the heat seeker rocket, he adjusts the screen on the side so he can see it. In the shot where we can see the screen, there is nothing on it. Continuity: SPOILER: When the Czech cop is sitting opposite Xander and lifts a gun to shoot him, the gun alternates between resting in his lap in long shot and raised in his hand in close-up shots. Continuity: When the "care package" takes Xander to the basement to show his tools to him, a wedding ring is visible in some shots of the "care package's" hands, but not in others. Crew: When Xander is Sky-surfing towards the communications centre in one of the angles you can see the shadow of a helicopter on the ground below him. Fact errors: SPOILER: Yelena is an agent of the Russian FSB (Fedaral'naia Sluzhba Bezopasnosti - Federal Security Service). FSB is charged with internal security in Russia (like the FBI in the US or MI-5 in the UK). A Russian "agent" working outside of Russia would work for the SVR (Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki). Fact errors: The NSA wouldn't send agents overseas - that is what the CIA is supposed to do. The NSA's work is limited to the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence; it does not perform field or human intelligence activities. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Towards the end of the film, Xander's 1967 Pontiac GTO is heavily customized by his agency and receives custom exhaust sidepipes as one of the modification. However, you can still obviously see the car's tailpipes sticking out the back. Continuity: When Xander is taken by the NSA in his apartment/loft he is not wearing a jacket, when he is in Columbia the jacket appears out of nowhere. Continuity: Right after XXX gets on the Ahab, there is a brief shot of the Ahab from behind. The turbines of the Ahab's engines are not moving, but the Ahab is obviously moving very fast. Continuity: When coming in for a landing after jumping from the stolen car, you can see the xXx tattoo missing from the back of his neck. Continuity: While trying to get onto the AHAB submarine, Xander is seen standing up in the car after the roof was blown off. In the next scene, he is seen sitting down in the car, and then seen standing after that. Continuity: When Yorgi spots the agent in the club at the films opening, he turns to Kirill saying his name and Kirill tucks his cigarette behind his ear. When Yorgi tells him "It's time to go to work", he tucks the cigarette behind his ear again. GEOG: When Xander is captured by the Americans (after skateboarding down the railings on a dessert tray) he is taken into a concert hall. The exterior shot is of the Rudolfinum Concert Hall in Prague, however the interior shot is of a completely different building, the Prague National Theater (notable for it's red velvet seating). In addition, on the director commentary, the director explains how that theater (the National Theater) is where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart premiered "Don Giovanni." This is also incorrect as that opera premiered at the Estates Theater, another theater in Prague but not pictured in xXx. Fact errors: SPOILER: When everyone is pinned-down by the sniper, Xander grabs the heat seeking rocket and says, "That son of a bitch is smoking". The rocket, if it were really heat seeking, wouldn't detect something so small as a cigarette much less turn at a near 90 degree angle to hit the guy smoking it. Fact 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. Continuity: When Xander stands on the mountain throwing the grenades, his jacket is open and in the next cut closed. Continuity: During the Snowboarding scene, Xander's stance changes from Goofy to Regular foot and back repeatedly between cuts. GEOG: Ahab was meant to travel to different continents, but the river through Prague flows south to north, and as Ahab was cruising south, it was heading inland. GEOG: There is no way that the scene racing up the river in Prague could have taken place as it did, as there is a weir in the way which he would not have been able to cross. CHAR: Shavers claims to have graduated magna cum laude from MIT. MIT does not award Latin honors with degrees. Revealing mistakes: In the slow motion shot of the Corvette going off the side of the bridge, the car bursts into flames a split second before hitting the ground. Revealing mistakes: When Xander Cage steals the red Chevrolet Corvette from the California Senator at the country club, he jams the gear shift into first gear and then continues to drive in reverse. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Once all the scientists have been killed by the poisonous gas, there is a shot of a gauge indicating the amount of poison gas in the air. The gage is marked with units of kPa (Kilopascals), a unit of pressure. Hardly able to measure the lethality of the air. CHAR: The double swing doors in the agency showing a map of the world does not have New Zealand on it, which is quite a big land mass to miss. Continuity: During the van scene when Xander is taken, while fighting the bad guys the sliding door to the van gets torn off, but in the next scene it appears back on. PLOT: After the gentleman who was going to torture them blows up, Xander calls the other two gentleman that he was ejected from the plane with by name. At no time shown did they spend enough time together (conscious) to learn each others names. GEOG: xXx is having a lunch with Yelena at the Opera restaurant. Then the mess with the sniper begins and he escapes but is captured. The place of his capture is at the foot of the hill, on which Prague Castle stands and this is on the other side of the river Vltava. |
Quotes

Xander Cage: I wish I had a camera. Yelena: Why? Xander Cage: 'Cause this is gonna be one hell of a trick. Gibbons: I want you to meet some people and find out whatever you can about them. Xander Cage: What kind of people? Gibbons: Dirty. Dangerous. Your kind of people. Toby Lee Shavers: How long have you been with the agency? Xander Cage: Two days. Toby Lee Shavers: You're shitting me. No way. Man, that sucks. Xander Cage: Yeah, it sucks, but it beats jail. Toby Lee Shavers: No, it sucks because I spent six years in the basement of some windowless, NSA, gadget freak room, man. And I got a degree. I got a degree from MIT. Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude. And I bet they probably picked you up, what, pumping iron in San Quentin? Xander Cage: You ever get punched in the face for talking too much? Gibbons: You ever watch lions at the zoo? You can always tell which ones were captured in the wild by the look in their eyes. The wild cat. She remembers running across the plain, the thrill of the hunt. Four hundred pounds of killing fury, locked in a box. But after a while, their eyes start to glaze over, and you can tell their soul has died. The same thing happens to a man. Leavenworth Federal Penetentiary is no joke. They'll take a wild man like you and throw him in solitary just for the fun of it. No more mountains to board, no more oceans to surf. Just a 6-by-8 cell with no window and only a bucket to shit in. You can avoid all of that by doing me this small favor. Xander Cage: You don't have shit on me. Gibbons: I noticed you have three X's tattooed on the back of your neck. I think that's rather appropriate, since you're looking at three strikes. Grand theft auto, reckless endangerment, and that little bridge stunt of yours makes you a three-time loser. Maybe you ought to call yourself "Triple X." But if you do what I want, I'll make all your little recent criminal transgressions go away and let you get back to that pathetic excuse of a life. Xander Cage: The things I'm gonna do for my country. Yorgi: Now that business is over, we party. Kolya: Bitches, come! Xander Cage: You know, if you're gonna ask someone to save the world, you'd better make sure they like it the way it is. Xander Cage: You have a bazooka. Why don't you blow some shit up? Stop thinking Prague police and start thinking PlayStation. Ivan Podrov: Is not bazooka. Is heat-seeking rocket. Xander Cage: Heat-seeking rocket? The son-of-a-bitch is smoking. [to Ivan] Xander Cage: Set it! [fires bazooka, kills Kirril] Xander Cage: I told him that cigarette would kill him one day. Xander Cage: [after the party is raided, presumably by NSA] Okay, Okay, I'll turn down the music. Xander Cage: Look who it is. Frankenstein. Uncuff me so I can beat the shit out of you. Gibbons: Relax, X, you just graduated at the head of your class. Xander Cage: I bet that flag is a real comfort every time you look in the mirror. Gibbons: A small price I paid for putting foot to ass for my country. Xander Cage: [to Yorgi] Yeah. Cars, boards, bikes. I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in. Yelena: I've been undercover here for two years. Xander Cage: Two years? What was your plan? To let them die of old age? Gibbons: I gave you an order! Xander Cage: And I followed that order. You said, 'Go home, Triple X.' That means stay, doesn't it? Xander Cage: You're in the Xander Zone. [Xander Cage drives a stolen Corvette, which belongs to senator Dick Hotchkiss, and is chased by the police] Police Officer: 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, a 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. Oh, 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 them. Dick, you've just entered The Xander Zone. [on the walkie talkie] Xander Cage: Okay, I'm coming in hot with a side of bacon. Hillside Video Shooter: Go. Go, go, go, go! [Xander jumps with the Corvette off the bridge] Van Video Shooter: Pull it! Pull it! [Xander jumps out of the Corvette with a parachute] Van Video Shooter: Yes! [the Corvette falls on the surface and explodes while the three guys in a Cadillac arrive to pick up Xander and the equipment] Caddy Driver: Go get the cameras. Go, go, go. Xander Cage: Moral of the story is, don't be a dick, Dick. [after snowboarding down an avalanche] Xander Cage: Nothing like fresh powder. Toby Lee Shavers: Ah. Knocked over a few 7-Elevens, have we? Xander Cage: No, I had my leg in a cast for about three months. All I did was play first-person shooter video games. Toby Lee Shavers: That's a really sad story. Milan Sova: First you set me up in the bar. Then you shoot me in the back. Xander Cage: My boss does it to me. I did it to you. It's a vicious circle. [after kissing Xander Cage] Yelena: Did you enjoy that? Xander Cage: Yes. Yelena: Good, because it will never happen again. [referring to Senator Dick] Xander Cage: He also wants video games banned because he believes that they're destroying education... come on Dick, it's the only education we got. Xander Cage: I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in. [after a police SWAT team crashes in on his party] Xander Cage: Okay, I'll turn down the music. Xander Cage: I've been risking my life for a lot of stupid reasons. This is the first one that makes sense to me. Xander Cage: Is this guy gonna hump my leg or what? Viktor: Find him fast. Kill him slow. Gibbons: Why is it always the assholes who pass the test? Yelena: Xander? Remember what I told you before, when you kissed me? Xander Cage: Never again? Yelena: I lied. Yelena: I'm an agent too. I've been undercover for two years. Xander Cage: Two years? What was your plan? Have them die of old age? Toby Lee Shavers: I've always wanted to say this. Fire in the hole! Yelena: Do you know what a wire transfer is? Xander Cage: Is she for real. Sweetheart is there anything else you need to do, let us big boys have a conversation. Yelena: Conversation. A word with four syllables. Do you want some ice before your brain overheats. Xander Cage: Ice. Yeah, you could chisel some off your heart, if you could find it. [to Yelena] Xander Cage: I might throw in a few extra dollars and send you to charm school. Xander Cage: You're okay, Yorgi Yorgi: Everything's okay... with enough vodka. Xander Cage: Yo. What's your name, slick? Ivan Podrov: My name is Ivan. Xander Cage: Ivan? What's your name, buddy? Ivan Pedgrag: [looks back at Xander] My name is Ivan. Xander Cage: [looking confused] You're both Ivan? Gibbons: So, what's it going to be, Triple X? You want to get on a plane, or is "Kiss my ass, Scarface" your final answer? Gibbons: You've passed the test. The Gibbons Test. J.J.: So you need to go to Pago Pago or something. Get a couple of girls, do them all. I don't care. Go on vacation. Xander Cage: It's Bora Bora, J. Gibbons: The name's Gibbons. Augustus Gibbons. Xander Cage: Welcome to the Xander Zone. Xander Cage: Shaken... and stirred. Xander Cage: Koyla, Yorgi's younger brother, happens to be an action sports fanatic. So naturally, he's a fan. But, when you kill a bottle of Vodka in three swigs, and you're gonna talk too much. Xander Cage: My kind of people would say, "Kiss my ass, Scarface." Xander Cage: I live for this shit. Xander Cage: [after getting shot with a dart] It was only a Corvette! [after Xander shoots Milan Sova] Yorgi: Most people talk a lot, few are up for the moment. Welcome to Anarchy Ninety-nine. [before entering Yorgi's club] Milan Sova: Everyone in this club's got two things in common; they're filthy rich and they're criminals. Xander Cage: I'll fit in perfect, except for the filthy rich part. [Yorgi is getting away on a motorboat. Xander shoots at him, but misses] Yorgi: Learn how to shoot, you piece of shit! [Xander shoots at Yorgi, this time hitting and killing him] Xander Cage: [referring to marines in full camo] Here comes the ROTC! Xander Cage: WHOO! Not bad! [pause] Lets do that again! Xander Cage: [after El Jefe slaps Xander across the face] You slap me again, I'm going to throw you a beating. [El Jefe slaps him again] Xander Cage: Boy, I hope they're paying you extra for this. El Jefe: [points machete in his face] You know what, funny guy? Maybe I'll cut off your nose first, huh? Funny guy. Xander Cage: What's funny is, this actually smells like real blood. El Jefe: I hope you like it, because it's the last thing you're going to smell. Xander Cage: [after Yelena shoots Milan Sova and walks in with the Ivans] You wanna tell me what you're doing with the Ivan's? Toby Lee Shavers: [showing Xander the darts to the revolver] Datura knockout darts. POW! Guy goes down for 12 hours, wakes up, doesn't know who the hell he is, and his head's splitting like a cord of firewood. [starts laughing] Xander Cage: I was shot twice with those. Toby Lee Shavers: [explaining the darts to Xander] The red ones are tranquilizer and blood-splatter darts. All the appearence of a kill shot, but without the aftereffects. Like death. Toby Lee Shavers: [showing Xander the binoculars] Eagle Eyes. Nine enhanced-vision modes. Every little boy's dream: the penetrator mode. Check it out. [points at a woman] Xander Cage: [looks through the binoculars, sees under the woman's clothes] Oh, my God. Toby Lee Shavers: She's checking you out. Xander Cage: I gotta hang onto these. Yelena: [photographing Yorgi's safe] You're not supposed to be in here. Xander Cage: I was on the way to the bathroom. What's your excuse? Yelena: [pulls a gun on him] I don't need an excuse. Xander Cage: [grabs her arm with the gun and she pulls out a second gun] You're good. [gets her other arm, making her defenseless] But not that good. Yorgi: There is an old punk song, it says America stands for freedom... Xander Cage: But if you think you're free try walking into a deli... Yorgi, Xander Cage: And urinating on the cheese! Xander Cage: [wakes up in cargo plane] You guys haven't been to any diners lately, huh? Virg: Diner finalists. Xander Cage: What is this place? Gibbons: Looks like a diner. Xander Cage: That's clever. You know, you almost had me going there for a while. I was a bit groggy before, then I started noticing things. Like, you got a stockbroker over here, all dressed up reading the Financial Times on a Sunday morning when the market's closed. Unlikely, but okay, I can go with that. I can even go with the stick-up man packing a cop-issue Beretta. But you want to know where you blew it? [points at waitress] Xander Cage: With her. My aunt was in the restaurant business all her life. There's no way in hell a career waitress comes to work in high heels. She'd have blisters the size of pancakes before lunch. And if she ain't real, then this whole thing ain't real. That's how I knew this bozo over here wouldn't get a shot off even if we waited till St. Patrick's Day. [fires shotgun at wall] Xander Cage: Because there's nothing but blanks in these guns. Oh, and no offense, but their performances were terrible. El Jefe: Okay, funny guys. I'll show you what we do when funny guys get in our business. Xander Cage: What? Hog-tie us and force us to listen to your bad accent? El Jefe: No. Cut off their Achilles tendon and watch them flop around like a marionette. Unless you have something to tell me, something I need to know? Huh? Xander Cage: Uh, okay. You're short. [TJ and Virg start to laugh] Xander Cage: And my friend over there says you could use a haircut to update your style. Get off me. El Jefe: [kicks Virg] Shut up! Xander Cage: Just two seconds ago, you told us to talk. Now it's "Shut up?" I mean, I don't mean to nit-pick, but you're the worst at this torture thing. |
