One Wave.

This movie was hilarious. For starters, Keanu and Busey are the worst movie cops I've ever seen. There's one scene where Busey is in the stakeout car reading the newspaper and Keanu is buying lunch. That's when Swayze and company show up to rob the bank and they don't notice. By the time they do realize, Swayze has already robbed the bank and is getting away in the getaway car. That's when a big car chase begins that turns into a foot chase between Keanu and Swayze. Swayze's idea of stopping Keanu is by grabbing a dog and throwing it at him. WTF? Then, when Keanu has a chance of stopping Swayze by shooting him while he climbs a fence he decides to aim at the sky and start shouting and shooting at the same time. Again, WTF? Oh, and it gets worse. Keanu agrees to go sky diving with the man even after he knows that he's a cop. Do I have to say WTF again? Secondly, there's a scene where a naked chick beats up Keanu Reeves. Awesome. However, what turns this movie from funny to hilarious is how serious it is. I can't believe this people didn't realize what a dumb movie they were making. Even James Cameron, yes THE James Cameron, believed in it so much that he put his name on it as the executive produce. And, this movie was released the same year as Terminator 2!
 
"You gonna jump or jerk off?"
 
My favorite line is, "Utah! Gimme two." I don't know why. Anything Busey does makes me laugh though.

LOL...I thought I was the only one who found that line hilarious. I say it to my wife all the time when she's getting me anything. Busey steals any scene he's in no matter what movie. It's his unique line delivery.
 
Point Break is awesome.
 
I've never seen Point Break. But I've seen the awesome parody of that one scene they do in Hot Fuzz which is hilarious.

No kidding Point Break is one of my faves....mostly for the reasons you named.:woot:

If you've seen the first Fast and The Furious, you've seen Point Break! :woot:

Well, at the time, I think he was still shacked up with the movie's director, Katheryn Bigelow (I don't think he hooked up with Linda Hamilton until after T2). I'm sure the exchange when like this:

**sweating, heavy breathing and vigorous straddling***
Katheryn: Honey, there's this movie I wanna make, I though maybe you might wanna be a producer on it?

**sweating, heavy breathing, and holding onto Kathryn at the hips**
James: Sure, baby. What's it about?

Kathryn: It's about an FBI agent who infiltrates surf culture to take down a group of surfers who rob banks, while dressed as former Presidents!

James: . . . . .

Kathryn: Honey?

James: . . . . Okay, but on one condition.

**Kathryn gets on all fours, with James behind her, holding a large bottle of lube!***
 
And that is when Laurie Petty could be cast a semi-attractive female lead...

Love me some Point Break. One of the few DVD's I never trade or sell.
 
I loved this film growing up. i should go pop it in and watch it again sometime.

That sounds about right. :o

:wow:

erm.... im gonna need a moment.
 
I don't mind Reeves or Swayze in this....the most annoying character is either Lori Petty's or Swayze's brother, the one that dies :cmad:
 
I really like Point Break, just a fun late 80s, early 90s action movie, back when they used practical stunts instead of having so much CGI.
 
Apparantly there making a sequel...I dont know why. This movie is pretty near perfect in what it sets out to do.
 
Didn't Anthony Kiedis have a cameo in this?

Yup, he was one of the gang banger surfer guys. I'm not a Red Hot Chili peppers fan, and love him getting his foot blown off.
 
Haha, yeah, I forgot he was the guy who shot his foot off. Awesomeness.

Are they really making a sequel to this? Awful idea. It will probably be one of those atrocious DTV sequels with none of the original actors and a rehash of the exact same story. It will also have some lame subtitle like Point Break: Rising Waters or something.
