XXX [2 Discs]

"Just in time for the XXX sequel comes this new Uncensored, Unrated Director's Cut version of the original Vin Diesel actioner, straight from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Featuring what could only be called the most audacious added scene in any DVD, this edition includes ""The Final Chapter: The Death of Xander,"" which adds up to a newly shot four-minute death scene of Diesel's character (as played by body double Khristian Lupo). Featuring a fake-looking model in busty lingerie who spouts lines like ""I'm gonna f*ck you until your eyes implode!"" this shameless scene finds Xander blown up at the end as bad guys come back to collect a piece of his steaming bloody scalp -- yes, for real. Extras from previous versions have been carried over, including scores of featurettes on the stunts, production, and in-depth FX shots. The commentary with director Rob Cohen has been carried over as well, though the behind-the-scenes look at the sequel is new, along with an exclusive scene from the Ice Cube shoot-'em-up. The film itself is presented in an anamorphic 2.40:1 widescreen picture and pumped up with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. Peppered with eight additional, never-before-seen minutes, the movie is now bigger and certainly more extreme. This release is recommended for those that can't get enough of action madman Vin Diesel or for those that didn't buy any previous edition -- the rest can just rent it to see the death scene (it's just that good!)."
