'Point Break' is my ultimate favourite movie of all time; I relished it as a young kid when it came out on VHS and honestly it helped shape me as a person. I hired a bar with a 'cinema' to screen it for my birthday a few years ago, and when I met Kathryn Bigelow after a 'Hurt Locker' Q&A she seemed happy when I informed her of my adoration for her work and that her movie had made me learn to surf and jump out of airplanes. RIP Patrick Swayze aka The Bodhisatva. Excellent video JoBlo!
I saw Point Break in 1991, it was a double feature at a drive-in theatre about a year before it closed. The other movie was Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Probably the ultimate early 90s movie experience
my buddies and me watched this movie a lot, and I mean a LOT! we would sit around watching it with the sound off and each of us doing the dialog of the characters memorized by heart. Yeah this movie is 10/10. And strange days was pretty freaking awesome too.
"Utah, get me 2." This is by far the greatest surfing 🌊 cops and robbers flick starring 2 of Hollywood hottest hunks Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. The long take chase scene between Reeves and Swayze through backyards is the best I have seen on film. This was James Cameron's 2nd biggest blockbuster. As he was the producer on this flick that was directed by his ex wife Kathryn Bigelow. It was so good, that it's plot was ripped off for the first Fast and Furious movie.🍕🍕🍕
Which movie did the cop gets too close to the criminals and (almost) sides with them movie did it best? Point Break? Terminal Velocity or The Fast and the Furious?
I love Point Break great flick and wonderfully cast. Swayze was awesome in everything he did, my wife and daughters love Dirty Dancing. Also Loved appearance of Anthony Kiedis of The Chili Peppers. We cant forget Busey in his role, overall just a GREAT film!!!
This is a definitely a movie I enjoy when it's on TV. The remake was an abomination! No one can touch the magic that Swayze and Keanu brought to the movie!
An absolute masterclass in action filmmaking! One of my wife and I's all time favourite movies, so your definitely on to something there when you say Bigelo had the appeal to woman action fans too. Watching your making of B roll footage just reminded me how much this movie is SCREAMING out for a definitive 4K Ultimate Special edition. Superb!!
One thing I remember about Point Break is the simple fact that's what Nicholas Angel and Danny was watching on Hot Fuzz. The remake though is very forgettable. Just like the remake of Conan the Barbarian. I know I saw that movie but I can't remember a thing about it.
I watched this on the Calais - Dover Cross channel ferry ⛴ that year, coming home from Cologne Germany and was strung out, feeling about as low as I've ever felt as a young man, this movie however was there on the ships cinema and my senses being acute I devoured it and to this day its one of my favourite flicks., good job with this 👏🙏❤️
My thing is this, The Fast and The Furious is most definitely a spiritual Reboot of this than that of the actual Train wreck of a Reboot they actually did and yes I would've loved a sequel to this with Kathryn Bigelow in the big chair.
After walking away from the FBI Johnny Utah felt disillusioned with his life and decided to see out a new path of awakening becoming the Baba Yaga John Wick.
Had a huge crush on Lori way beck when. Was 15 Years old when POINT BREAK came along. Loved the movie. NO CGI. Thats what I love about movies of the past and still do. CGI has really made movies look so less real. What would you rather do as an actor (real life action or standing infront of a green screen and pretending) I know what I would choose.
Everybody always mentions that the Fast & the Furious was a Point Break remake, but Point Break was itself a remake of No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen.
That moment when Keanu jumps out of the plane without a parachute.....one of the most bad ass scenes of all time. So much so that now it's become a cliché.
This movie was perfect.... Bohdi was like the anti-hero you couldn't help but root for but by the end of the movie Utah basically became a version of Bohdi... I wish they still made movies like this.
I love this movie so much. Remember seeing it as a kid and feeling so betrayed that Swayze was the baddie. Couldn't believe it as I loved Roadhouse. Ps. I remember reading the title got changed to Point Break because the Oliver Stone The Doors movie was made around the same time...
It's a time capsule and it is definitely one of the best movies action wise because they were real. Real people doing real stunts. Not a computer generated mess that nobody can follow.
Best movie ever! Hence my channel graphic Avatar. Watch it at least twice a year, absolute classic. It was unfortunate it came out same sort of time as T2 ! So James Cameron got his own back on his Ex. He helped with Point Break as executive producer which probably explains again why again it’s so amazing. Don’t want a sequel.
Underrated Review! Point Break is the mother of so many Action Film templates & tropes -- It makes me want to surf and was intense enough to get me to Skydive! Def.a movie u proudly introduce to a new generation who only know the Matrix & John Wick. Btw Swayze & Keanu have great sounding Star names that fit the Zen Action genre. A philosophical connection the remake lacked. (Come to think of it, reminiscent of themes in Bruce Lee films.) 🤛🐉🌊🏄♂️🤙
The tense moment where the off-duty cop was convincing the security guard to back him up during the big robbery scene was my favorite part of the movie.
Synopsis: An undercover F.B.I agent infiltrates a gang of surfers, suspecting they might be bank robbers. My hats off to you Kathryn Bigelow, for taking such a ridiculous premise and making it work spectacularly.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It has that early 90’s cheese about it, which I like. I miss hard R rated action movies. Pretty much everything now gets watered down to PG-13 to sell more tickets. Shame. “You’re telling me the FBI’s going to pay me to learn to surf?” - One of Keanu’s best lines lol
Love this movie I saw this in Boyz in the Hood on the same day. And when I finish watching fast and the furious I turned to my friend and told her this is point break
This is actually my favorite movie of all time. You guys have been killing it with all the James Bond content lately too! “Yes, the surfboard bothers me. Yes! Your approach to this whole goddamned case bothers me, and YES! YOU BOTHER ME!” RIP Patrick
Good covering this classic! Just watched this for the first time in a long time. I forgot how good it was. Looking back, it’s a real masterpiece of action film. Goes beyond the surface level adrenaline rush with some deeper vibes. I feel inspired by it. Probably won’t go as far as robbing banks but skydiving sounds good.
8:45 the people who made The Fast and the Furious flat out said they did. They even said they cast Paul Walker because they wanted a "Keanu Reeves type".
Point Break - When the conditions are perfect a point break can create a really long wave to ride as the wave wraps around a point or headland and then runs along the coastline of a bay or cove. Point breaks can have rock, coral, or sandy bottoms
Point Break - The point where a human breaks within the limited established boundaries he has subconsciously set within himself... and then evolves into a higher form of his new found self. Limited Utah, transcends into his higher self through Bodhi's free style teachings.... or were you sleeping while you were watching this?
@@adambane1719 Maybe we both were. Did you know the surfing term ? I knew of human breaking point terms. (It's common parlance and indeed the name of a TV series and somewhat of a trope) Who has educated who ? Since the title encompasses both definitions and only did it so well after it was changed from a skating movie. Or have you been sleeping through your entire life ?
Bro in those times Patrick Swayze was on fire and had hits in different genres with Dirty Dancing, Ghost and cult favourite Roadhouse also no one knew that Reeves could do action as he was in mostly supporting roles and was into comedy movie Bill and Ted. But after Point Break Keanu also got to make another action classic Speed.
One of the rare films that just NEVER gets old, and you find yourself just randomly wanting to watch it. 10/10.
They even re-used the story for the fast and the furious 1.
What did you think of the remake?
Like at 4:41 a.m. est 8/24/2022 lol 😆
Indeed 😊

My favorite of all time too. For over 30 years
Loved this movie, and Patrick Swayze was a perfect adversary for Keanu Reeves
One of my favorite movies of all times! RIP Patrick Swayze
Hear hear!
Watching any other film would be "a waste of time!!"
I saw Point Break in 1991, it was a double feature at a drive-in theatre about a year before it closed. The other movie was Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Probably the ultimate early 90s movie experience
One of my all-time favorites. "We'll get him when he comes back in!" "He's not coming back."
"Yo, Johnny! I'll see you in the next life!" -RIP Patrick Swayze
Vaya con dios.
Riders on the Storm was actually a really good title.
I agree
Saw this at the movies when it came out.
More than once!
THE best chase scene in any movie.
And I still haven’t watched the remake, nor will I.
This film proves the importance of excellent story writing, directing, and casting, saw this in the theater back in 91 incredible movie then and now
my buddies and me watched this movie a lot, and I mean a LOT! we would sit around watching it with the sound off and each of us doing the dialog of the characters memorized by heart. Yeah this movie is 10/10. And strange days was pretty freaking awesome too.
so glad i grew up to this movie. still love it to this day.
Such an iconic movie that there’s a brewery in Seattle that names their beers “Johnny Utah”, “Bodhizafa”, and “Warchild”.
I'm serious Warchild, back off.
@@captaint9353 He's with me.
This is stimulating, but we're out of here
"Utah, get me 2."
This is by far the greatest surfing 🌊 cops and robbers flick starring 2 of Hollywood hottest hunks Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. The long take chase scene between Reeves and Swayze through backyards is the best I have seen on film.
This was James Cameron's 2nd biggest blockbuster. As he was the producer on this flick that was directed by his ex wife Kathryn Bigelow.
It was so good, that it's plot was ripped off for the first Fast and Furious movie.🍕🍕🍕
That chase was my favourite until I saw The Italian Connection.
Utah! ✌️ Two
Which movie did the cop gets too close to the criminals and (almost) sides with them movie did it best? Point Break? Terminal Velocity or The Fast and the Furious?
This is the ONLY surfing 🌊 cops and robbers flick starring 2 of Hollywood hottest hunks Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.
Just …no. Terminator, Terminator 2, Aliens, Titanic, Avatar. This is no more than his SIXTH biggest blockbuster.
YES! You totally captured what makes this a masterpiece.
Best movie of 1991. Saw it in theaters back when it first came out. Last year glam rock was still mainstream.
Real stunts, real action, no CGI. Looks so good!
Ive lost count how many times Ive watched Road House over the decades. I think I watched it again last year, or was it this year?
I still love that movie.
I love Point Break great flick and wonderfully cast. Swayze was awesome in everything he did, my wife and daughters love Dirty Dancing. Also Loved appearance of Anthony Kiedis of The Chili Peppers. We cant forget Busey in his role, overall just a GREAT film!!!
just one of the best action movies ever made! a masterpiece!
Someone is finally giving this movie the attention it deserves.
Point Break is an awesome action film!! It still kicks ass today!! Love this movie to death!! I love it so much!
This is a definitely a movie I enjoy when it's on TV. The remake was an abomination! No one can touch the magic that Swayze and Keanu brought to the movie!
An absolute masterclass in action filmmaking!

really 10/10, one of my childhood classics

My favorite movie! 100 percent pure adrenaline!!!
In grade school my dad found a copy of Point Break in a parking lot & I watched it 100 times that year. UTAH, GET ME TWO!
Had a huge crush on Lori way beck when. Was 15 Years old when POINT BREAK came along. Loved the movie. NO CGI. Thats what I love about movies of the past and still do. CGI has really made movies look so less real. What would you rather do as an actor (real life action or standing infront of a green screen and pretending) I know what I would choose.
I had a huge crush on Lori as well cause of point break until I saw her in tank girl and that went down the drain fast
@@clubkid13 She was only acting mate. She is and was still hot though.
Everybody always mentions that the Fast & the Furious was a Point Break remake, but Point Break was itself a remake of No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen.
You're totally right, the fast and furious is a lesser remake of this masterpiece!
One of my all-time faves, also it has one of the best endings in movies ever.
Was aware of the film then caught it on TV one day. Loved it.
Totally agree on 10 out of 10. My wife gets mad at me because EVERY time this is on tv, I stop and watch it. Viya Con Dias
That moment when Keanu jumps out of the plane without a parachute.....one of the most bad ass scenes of all time. So much so that now it's become a cliché.
This movie was perfect.... Bohdi was like the anti-hero you couldn't help but root for but by the end of the movie Utah basically became a version of Bohdi... I wish they still made movies like this.

Of the the best action movies ever
It's a time capsule and it is definitely one of the best movies action wise because they were real. Real people doing real stunts. Not a computer generated mess that nobody can follow.
Classic. Saw PB in theatres when it came out, while on vacation with my family in Wildwood NJ. Still one of the best action films I've ever seen.
Best movie ever! Hence my channel graphic Avatar. Watch it at least twice a year, absolute classic. It was unfortunate it came out same sort of time as T2 !

This was the perfect action movie.
The 10/10 is well deserved.
If you haven't seen this movie "You should try it, who knows? you might like it. IT'S A KILLER RUSH."
Best Bodhi quote: "Don't forget to vote!"
The tense moment where the off-duty cop was convincing the security guard to back him up during the big robbery scene was my favorite part of the movie.
The sequel you described is the sequel we all want and Keanu Reeves could play that part right now very well
You are for films what LTT is for computer: a source of joy and wisdom!
I remember recording this movie on VHS when it aired on Australian television when I was a kid. I watched it so many times. Awesome movie
Pity Aussie's gone right down the dunny now mate !
@@adambane1719 yes, absolute tyranny at the moment. Wish more Aussies would wake up before it’s too late
That chase scene was the best.
Synopsis: An undercover F.B.I agent infiltrates a gang of surfers, suspecting they might be bank robbers.
My hats off to you Kathryn Bigelow, for taking such a ridiculous premise and making it work spectacularly.
My favourite quote which I have used often "I guess we must have ourselves a Assehole shortage"
Whilst shaving?
I loved this movie, it’s the reason I learnt to sky dive! 🤟🏻
Why is nobody saying "I rob banks because I watched Point Break?
We wore out 2 store bought and maybe 10 homemade vhs tapes of point break when we were kids 🤘
That's what I call, "LIVIN" 👌👏👍🤘
Great video, and I wholeheartedly agree with how bad the remake was...and how badly we need a proper sequel!!
Always love this movie I saw Boyz n the Hood and point break at the theater on the same day the perfect California double bill
Gosh, this made me miss Swayze even more...
One of my all-time favorite movies. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It has that early 90’s cheese about it, which I like. I miss hard R rated action movies. Pretty much everything now gets watered down to PG-13 to sell more tickets. Shame.
“You’re telling me the FBI’s going to pay me to learn to surf?” - One of Keanu’s best lines lol
Fully deserved, 10 Stallones 👍👍
well deserved 10 Slys, "maybe you're not doin' it right, Roach!"
I LOVE this tribute. Can't believe I never saw it before. Beautiful job, and I agree abut your sequel idea and that garage reboot attempt.
Can you imagine our timeline if Point Break was a major mega hit?
Man imagine Point 9 with Triple H as Bohdi’s brother circa 2002
I just watched this movie for the first time the other night and I loved it
Love this movie I saw this in Boyz in the Hood on the same day. And when I finish watching fast and the furious I turned to my friend and told her this is point break
Crazy double bill
This movie is so stereotypically Californian and I love it
This is actually my favorite movie of all time. You guys have been killing it with all the James Bond content lately too!
“Yes, the surfboard bothers me. Yes! Your approach to this whole goddamned case bothers me, and YES! YOU BOTHER ME!”
RIP Patrick
Love it so much
It definitely is an all time epic yes 😉😊
This narrator is so much better than that smug guy who usually does the WTF happened series
I had always heared about this film but I just got done watching it and I was actually super impressed, definitely a really good movie!
The Town is the best follow up to this beast of a movie.
Rewatched last night, such a fun flick. You're spot on that a remake with old keanu as the mr. miyagi of surfing would be epic
It has been many years since I saw this movie. Thank you I will seek it out and watch it again.
Yo.... When my man jumped out the plane without a chute, I was done a a kid...
This movie is awesome, far better than the recent remake.
Good covering this classic!
Just watched this for the first time in a long time. I forgot how good it was. Looking back, it’s a real masterpiece of action film. Goes beyond the surface level adrenaline rush with some deeper vibes. I feel inspired by it. Probably won’t go as far as robbing banks but skydiving sounds good.
Gary Busey has the honor of being in two of the greatest action films of all time, Lethal Weapon and Point Break.
"Utah, get me two!"
8:45 the people who made The Fast and the Furious flat out said they did. They even said they cast Paul Walker because they wanted a "Keanu Reeves type".
I like to believe that Utah became John Wick.
Love this movie!! Thank you for making an AMAZIMG video about it! I love your comments on Kathryn Bigelow ❤️ 👏
Point Break - When the conditions are perfect a point break can create a really long wave to ride as the wave wraps around a point or headland and then runs along the coastline of a bay or cove. Point breaks can have rock, coral, or sandy bottoms

NUMBER NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: anthony kiedis's father was an actor as well. Playing in only small roles. He played the drug dealer in the first lethal weapon.
i'm all for that follow up idea 4 sure
I feel like Patrick Swayze could have been a great action hero with this movie and Road House under his belt
*_"UTAH! GET ME TWO!"_*
Not all of your "clips" are gold, but you knocked it out of the part with POINT BREAK!
*park
Glad you brought up Fast and Furious, thought the exact same thing when I watched it
Bro in those times Patrick Swayze was on fire and had hits in different genres with Dirty Dancing, Ghost and cult favourite Roadhouse also no one knew that Reeves could do action as he was in mostly supporting roles and was into comedy movie Bill and Ted. But after Point Break Keanu also got to make another action classic Speed.
"This is your fuckin wake up call man, I am an F B I AGENT!
Saw it with my Dad and brothers.
10 out of 10 Stallones. Whoa! Rad bro!
greatest "mans" movie ever made, the chase scene is also one of the best ever, we named my 3rd son after Patrick Swayze's character
ten out fo tennnnnn, yesssss, yesss, yessss
Definitely a 10/10 Stallones!. Thanks for this.
Point Break could of had a great sequel.
You didn’t even mention the fact that point break is so significant the mighty God of thunder Thor has point break as his nickname 😝
Point Break was decent to me at first, but I start liking it more as it goes along, mostly because of the action and turn of events.
