You know, I actually got a little teary-eyed when I saw that amazing tribute to the stuntman who was killed during the filming of xXx from 2002. Harry was the stuntman who died upon hitting the Palackého Most (bridge) in Prague during the second attempt of filming the scene where Xander's character had ejected himself out of the Flame Car 1967 Pontiac GTO and was riding high in the sky tethered by a parasail to the Ahab submersible over the Vltava River. (What we see on film is actually the "first take" of Harry's stunt action.)

You'll also notice Harry O'Connor's name appears at the very end of the credits of 'xXx'... An "In loving memory of" type of dedication. It was Harry's desire to re-try the stunt to make it appear as dangerous as it truly was. Sadly, he paid the ultimate price.

RIP, Harry.

And again, kudos to Vin for paying tribute to Harry in such a personal way in xXx-3.
