If you remember from the last installment of this franchise, 2005's xXx: State of the Union, Vin Diesel's extreme sports thrill seeker was "killed off" in the beginning of the movie -- Diesel himself hasn't appeared in the series since the first movie in 2002. But he's back in action (like, crazy, stunt-filled action) with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, coming out of self-imposed exile to team up with a global group of likeminded cohorts and stop a villain trying to get hold of a weapon known as Pandora's Box.

In this clip, watch Diesel blow some villagers' minds ripping up the road on a skateboard. You can see more when xXx: The Return of Xander Cage roars into theaters January 20.
