Excuse Me, Please Watch Vin Diesel Ride A Motorbike Underwater In This Important ‘xXx’ Trailer

It's hard to convey how badly you need to see this trailer.

The original xXx film came out in 2002 and whoever had the idea to revisit the concept 15 years later (God?) deserves more praise than my limited vocabulary can provide. When you watch the trailer for Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson’s new movie xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, you might have several conflicting thoughts: what is this film actually about? What is Vin’s character trying to achieve? What does that blonde woman mean when she says, “We need someone who can walk through a tornado and walk out of it like it was a damn gentle breeze”?

Well these questions are irrelevant, so shut up. Apart from the alarming amount of guns present in this trailer (a couple of them held by Australia’s own Ruby Rose) I for one am completely down for the new xXx if it means more commentary like: “Kick some ass, and try to look dope while you do it” accompanied by vision of Vin Diesel in a white denim vest, riding a skateboard.

And yes, that is Vin Diesel riding a motorbike while under the sea, and I cannot think of a more beautiful metaphor for existence than that (also see: skiing in a forest). Aren’t we all just riding motorbikes underwater, really?
