Here’s everything added to xXx’s Unrated Uncensored Director’s Cut, and what they add to the movie. While GoldenEye revived the James Bond franchise in 1995, it didn’t take long for the series to start looking creaky. By the time Pierce Brosnan’s final two outings The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day arrived, the franchise’s mix of gadgets, bad puns and generic storylines made Bond look out of date. With 2002’s xXx, Sony attempted to make a new, “hip” secret agent for the 21st Century.

Instead of being a suave, tuxedo-wearing MI6 agent, Vin Diesel’s Xander Cage was an extreme sports junkie who loved video games and hated authority. That made him an unlikely recruit for a world-saving mission, and he’s essentially blackmailed by NSA agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) into becoming their xXx agent. While on the surface, xXx seemed to subvert many of the classic James Bond movie tropes, it basically offered the same kind of story and characters. For that reason, in hindsight, the movie now feels like the kind of out-of-touch spy flick it was once making fun of.

Despite being billed as the start of a potential franchise, Diesel and director Rob Cohen opted out of returning for xXx: State Of The Union. They disliked the screenplay the studio favored, with Diesel feeling the political thriller angle didn’t have the spirit of the original movie. To coincide with xXx 2’s release, a new DVD edition of the first movie dubbed xXx: Unrated Uncensored Director’s Cut arrived. This promised a harder-edged version of the Vin Diesel-fronted xXx film, but what did this “unrated” edition add?

xXx’s Unrated Uncensored Director’s Cut’s restored around eight minutes of footage to film. That said, anyone who bought the original DVD would have already seen most of the footage since many of the deleted scenes were included as bonus material. These include a scene on an airplane where Xander is looking over his mission briefing while talking to a bored teenager, NSA agents warning Jackson’s Gibbons not to recruit a civilian and assorted comedy inserts, like Xander being watched as he’s trying to take a nap.

xXx’s Unrated Uncensored Director’s Cut doesn’t do much to earn its “Uncensored” tag, and only adds a few moments that push it out of PG-13 territory. There’s an extended dance featuring “Xander’s Bedroom Dancer,” who poses in a more sexualized manner. There’s also a brief shot of three nude women on villain Yorgi’s (a role Ewan McGregor rejected) – bed, which had also been seen in a censored form on the original DVD release. In the finale, there’s an extended gunfight between Yorgi’s Anarchy 99 and the police, but there’s little in the way of bloodshed despite the increased carnage of the sequence. Overall, this new edit did little to change the overall movie and would only really appeal to completionists.
