“Xander Cage is your standard adrenaline junkie with no fear and a lousy attitude. When the US Government “recruits” him to go on a mission, he’s not exactly thrilled. His mission: to gather information on an organization that may just be planning the destruction of the world, led by the nihilistic Yorgi. Written by Ryan McIntosh”

Tagline: If you want someone to save the world, make sure it’s someone who likes the world as it is.
Trivia: When Xander is climbing the rocks and infiltrating the castle, he is wearing a special jacket. It’s actually a textile motorcycle jacket, produced by Joe Rocket, and its called the “Phoenix” series. It uses padding and ballistic nylon weaving to reduce the impact and abrasion damage caused in a motorcycle crash.
Goofs: Revealing mistakes: 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.
