I remember walking out after seeing Fast and Furious. My friend goes, "What did you think?" I said, "I liked it better when it was called Point Break."
Also, the final scene was a reshoot done after Patrick got back from India from shooting City of Joy. If anyone ever had a feeling that Bodhi was different, it's because it was. The COJ experience changed Patrick in many ways.
The title is actually brilliant. Not only does it obviously connect to surfing, but also evokes the idea of reaching a breaking point which is great for a high energy action film
the soundtrack is also a goddamn GOLDMINE of that early 90's alternative rock sound!! just listening to the songs on your list transported me back to when I was a kid watching this movie in the 90's on a classic, 18 inch CRT tv.... scanlines and all, sipping a coke can through of a straw. dude... i love your channel!!!
I always consider Point Break to be a sequel to Road House. After the events of Road House, Dalton changes his name to Bodhi and begins a spiritual journey and a life of crime
What is it that they call it when you give your spouse at 1 cheat pass? My X chose Patrick Swayze, I chose the girl down the street at the 7-Eleven. R.I.P Sir Swayze ❤💃
I remember when he came to our town filming the movie Letters From A Killer. The town didn't really show up until the end I think, but it was really interesting.
bwah haha ...usually when ‘every’ is subbed for ever’ it’s actually an iphone autocorrect mistake. However, I’m unsure if there’s a similar excuse for “90s’ “instead of “90’s”...
"Middle hand says 'Time to rock and roll" "We're styling!" "Thank you for your time and don't forget to vote!" "I'm not a crook!" Those lines were in the heist scene. I'm sure The Fast and The Furious was inspired by this film.
The beach football scene music was done by local Detroit band Loudhouse. Later the they got a different singer and became Sponge. The recording was done by a friend of mine John Vitale and the remix was done by another friend of mine Chris Shier. Was pretty cool to see them all get credit in the movie.
You didn't miss anything. All you missed was Teresa Palmer with black hair instead of her trademark blonde and a movie where EVERY SINGLE MALE CHARACTER is covered in tattoos.
Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air? Have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air? Have you ever been involved in a high speed pursuit? Have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone "ahhrgh"?
I won't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.
Gods, this has just reminded me how Lori Petty has always been my dreamgirl. Those eyes, her smile, just...*melts* I may have to go rewatch Tank Girl again, like right now.
TO "MINTY" (REALLY STUPID NAME BTW): FUCK YOU FOR NOT EVEN READING THE MOVIE POSTER CORRECTLY. ITS THREE WORDS, AND THEY'RE LITERALLY IN ORDER. FROM: ALL THE AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES FIGHTING TERRORISTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THOSE WHO WERE PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY 9-11. AUSTRALIANS MUST READ DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REST OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD. WHAT A DISGRACE!
ZERO DARK THIRTY= BEST MOVIE EVER! THE BEST PART WAS WHEN BIN LADEN WAS KILLED! SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE LIKE INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. SHOULD'VE MACHINE GUNNED THE FLESH RIGHT OFF HIS SKULL, THEN HAD A BALD EAGLE SCREAM AS HE DROPPED TO THE GROUND!! GOD BLESS THOSE BOYS!! GOD BLESS AMERICA🇺🇸🎆🎆🎆❤
Absolute quality choice of one of my all time classic movies, the strange thing about this is that I was honestly contemplating watching this movie as I've not seen it for a while, I even owned this on VHS Wide screen edition which after losing the case for it I made a call to Fox Video UK & explained that my dog had chewed it up ( a slight lie as I borrowed it to a friend that lost it somehow but who doesn't feel for a dog story)& the lovely receptionist sent me a duplicate out in protected against folds letter. You brought back a host of memories there Minty, it even got me into surfing & I moved from Manchester to Newquay Cornwall, I wasn't very good but I gave it a go. Thanks for your excellent choice. Regards, David from Manchester, England, UK.
The reason why it was filmed in Portland was because they were expecting a big storm to hit the area at the time of filming and to their luck it rained really hard, so they were able to get those great shots. That last scene was filmed a few months after they wrapped filming. That's why you see Keanu with the long hair and Patrick with the short hair.
It's interesting what Minty pointed out about The Fast And The Furious. I actually always noticed that Point Break has a lot of similarity to The Lost Boys. Replace Keanu with Jason Patric, Patrick Swayze with Kiefer Sutherland, and Surfers with Vampires and you've got basically the same movie in many ways. Now, don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of both Point Break and The Lost Boys. They are both amazing, and they are both integral movies to when I was growing up. Great music in both. Great portrayals of subcultures. The Lost Boys is even kind of "beachy" in its own way on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, even though it's not a surf movie by any means. They both remain two of my all time favorites to this day and I re-watch them every few years on average. However, I can't help but notice the similarities between them. Actually, maybe that's why I like them both. In fact, I am assuming that The Lost Boys is not the first to explore these "out-on-the-edge" bromance dynamics. Wondering if anyone else can name some other movies that have used this plot and set of dynamics before The Lost Boys did it and/or after Point Break. That is, I'm curious to see the links in the chain of all the movies that have used this setup and how many of them have been good or bad. Point Break and The Lost Boys are amazing ones imo. I'm not personally that big of a fan of The Fast And The Furious movies, no disrespect to those who are.
Patrick Swayze's character is named Bodhi, which is short for "Bodhisattva". As explained by Lori Petty's character Tyler - "They call him Bodhisattva". A bodhisattva is a Buddhist monk who puts off achieving his own enlightenment (Nirvana) in order to help others along the path of Buddhism.
Bigelow has made so many great films, and for some reason when I list my favorite films I keep forgetting her. Blue Steel and Strange Days are just incredible movies.
One of the best action movies ever made, especially during the early 90's. Great soundtrack too! Btw, you had me dying of laughter with the fake Australian accent lol!!
I always felt like patrick swayze and keenu reeves easily could have switched roles and could have made the movie more epic if swayze was the good guy johnny utah.
I agree. I just feel that keenu could of played patrick swayze's role because with bill and ted coming out before this, i just always thought keenu had a better surfer vibe...especially the way he speaks.
Bio Hazard Agree, wouldn't be surprised. In my mind they both share the same movie universe. I tend to do that with movies and TV shows, makes things more interesting.
You mean an undercover cop infiltrated a gang of thieves but falls in love with the girl and the hobby they do? Naaaa....nobody sees the correlation You’re imagining things....lol
Another great video, thx Minty 🙂. I’m so glad they made it about surfing, and not skateboarding. I don’t think it would be the classic that it is if they had done that. I’m also glad that Keanu got the role. Just think, we may have had another actor as Neo, or not had The Matrix at all if not for Johnny Utah! Also, I never caught the connection between Point Break and Fast and Furious. I don’t know if it’s good or bad that we didn’t get a thousand sequels from Point Break Btw, love the Batman t-shirt 👍. Does yours glow in the dark too? Lol 😉
Wow, I feel slow. I never put Fast and the Furious and Point Break together like that. They really are quite similar. Thanks! I actually feel 10% smarter knowing that. Another great video Minty.
Thank you Minty for pointing out the comparison to Fast and Furious. I said that the moment I saw the first F&F movie many years ago and no one understood what I was saying. Keep doing your great work.
I heard a little secret that RUclipsrs mispronounce words and movie titles on purpose so that more people will comment on them to make them seem more popular... 🤔
This is one of my fav movies. I like the fact that Lori Petty's character wasn't cast as the traditional blonde, long hair, blue eyed typically attractive girl.
#11 The surfer that johnny utah takes a hair sample from on the beach was Matt Archbold "Archie", a major surfer in the 80's. He also did a lot of the surf shots.
Hey man I love your videos. The editing and set up has gotten a lot better in the recent months. Overall you do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a movie to do next you should look into the 70s car movies like the original gone in 60 seconds, vanishing point, and 2 lane blacktop,
Had no idea Bigelow directed Near Dark. One of my favorite vampire flicks, but it seems to have been forgotten. Haven't seen it since the first time back in the eighties. Actually, sort of similar story, only with vampires instead of surfers, and he was just in love with a blood sucking chick - no Swazepire.
Great video!! This is my favourite movie of all time!! I was a young teenager when this movie came out!! Funny how a movie can influence your life! Love the music too!!
I studied this in high-school English.. watched it a dozen times analysing each scene. Haha and I've watched it at least 40 odd times since. I think it is my all time favourite film. Thanks Mrs C.
AGENT BLACK yeah I keep on saying braindead Dead Alive do the Peter Jackson film I get ignored all I wanted was 10 things you didn't know about braindead
Only if you’re an ex-quarterback from Ohio State. Btw: in the 2 times that Keanu played a quarterback in a film (point break and the replacements) he had attended Ohio state. Oddly enough no NFL quarterback has ever come from Ohio state university.
CamaroAmx sure there was, just look up Art Schlichter. He played in the NFL for about 10 seasons before he ended up in prison because he was such a degenerate gambler he ended up stealing money to pay for it!
Actually you are incorrect Minty. The guy at the end of film who says "Are you crazy, Mate"?, is a prominent and well known Australian actor, Peter Phelps.... well known in Aus, anyway.
Mentioning Flee made me think of another little known 80’s movie he was in , that would also make an interesting Minty episode, called Dudes. Also, seeing Brian Denehy in the movie poster made me think of F/X and F/X2. Also, awesome movies.
For those interested, the restaurant where Johnny meets Tyler is Neptunes Net on Hwy 1 north of Malibu. The Beach Boys song Surfing USA, the lyric "Ventura county line", refering to the LA/Ventura county line, that's right out in front of that restaurant. While it's good, it's got nothing on Jalama.
Oh that's wicked. I watched that recently and I feel like it's so under rated. There's a great tribute video to that film with one of Perturbator's incredible songs called Death Squad - ruclips.net/video/Iy9PEq4n7Zs/видео.html
Movie idears. Death Becomes Her The Great Outdoors White Water Summer Fire Starter U-Turn Young Guns Judgement Night The Longest Day Blair Witch. *Not a movie* but how about review USA Up All Night with Rhonda Sheer or Gilbert Godfried.
Lmao. The so called "Aussie actor" is an actual Australian actor. How can you be from Australia and not know that the surfer at "Bells" who tells Johnny to "Go Back" is Peter Phelps? Australian through and through. Better edit that part out before you make yourself look a fool.
I went and rewatched . You are correct but he's thee only Aussie in the movie. All those Police were American . And honestly he didn't say " Aussie actor" he said " Aussie actors" . But your point is still funny. He should have recognized him .
@@quincee3376 Yeah, just joking. Love Minty's work. And I love how they made Phelps ham up the Aussie accent to make him seem like an American playing an Aussie, because a real Aussie accent isn't Aussie enough. Hollywood is hilarious sometimes.
@@robertb2196 i'm Canadian and in Youngblood with Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze and small part by Keanu Reeves there's alot of over the top canadian accents. And Keanu's French-Canadian accent is brutal, lol. So i get what u mean .
You're the best, Minty BUT... have you thought of moving to film reviews to music to tv to video games reviews? A new "Top 10's" reviews? I bet the world would love it.
I remember walking out after seeing Fast and Furious. My friend goes, "What did you think?" I said, "I liked it better when it was called Point Break."
I know! They totally ripped off the same story line.
That's awesome,, agree
sick burn
Facts!
I said the same thing back in 01 the year of fast 😂😂😂
Also, the final scene was a reshoot done after Patrick got back from India from shooting City of Joy. If anyone ever had a feeling that Bodhi was different, it's because it was. The COJ experience changed Patrick in many ways.
The title is actually brilliant.
Not only does it obviously connect to surfing, but also evokes the idea of reaching a breaking point which is great for a high energy action film
At the time. There was no better tandem than Swayze/Reeves. Amazing on-screen chemistry 👍
Patrick Swayze was a amazing actor. It's really sad that we lost him. Thanx Minty, Great video as always.
I loved this movie. Gotta love Gary Busy, crazy son of a gun. Another great one.
No mention of Busey! FU Minty and your stupid flyeye ginormous glawses!

Dalton was always nice... until it was time to not be nice.
😂
Bodhi - "Man, she sees something you that she never saw in me. That's precious."
Johnny - "We are wasting time."
Remember seeing this in high school with my first girlfriend at the local mall....i hate getting old.
Swayze was 38 when he made Point Break.
Haha! I saw it on a date in high school. I think the only reason I remember that girl (I don't remember her name) was because of the movie.
@Heather Mooney - 1981 in the house. Or maybe 80?... In which case nm. Only 81 counts.
Same here bro... Recently hooked up with that same girl from way back when :) not too old after all :)
Yeah, I was 20 when I saw this. Was surfing and had all the lead in my pencil back then.
And Yes, it sure does suck getting old.
R.I.P Patrick Swayze
@Craig Colby he had brain surgery from a bike accident and changed after that over time, that and cocaine is a hell of a drug
They are coming out with a great bio film on him. Either TV channel or movie, didn't notice..

Robert Forward DONT watch remake! Doesn't deserve that title 😡
Remake sucks ass. Pretend it never existed.
I saw the remake. I was foolish. The director of that movie should be banned from making movies for at least 5 years
Yes he done some top films
You didn't miss anything. All you missed was Teresa Palmer with black hair instead of her trademark blonde and a movie where EVERY SINGLE MALE CHARACTER is covered in tattoos.
A "Point Break" is a wave that breaks once it wraps around a point of land.
Bingo
shhh, keep it a “secret” lol
"All had to take surfing lessons in Hawaii." Such a sacrifice. ;-)
F&F was the remake we deserved.
I remember seeing this with my wife in the theater when it came out. Man that was a long time ago. Thanks for the video *Oh Great Minty One.*
Dsdcain That is SO cool! Thanks for NOT making me feel like the oldest person on RUclips! LoL
I watched three times at the cinema when it first came out.
Dsdcain are you still with you wife ?
Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?
Have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air?

Have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone "ahhrgh"?
Clay Fisher No, but I dive underwater blindfolded to retrieve bricks quite often.
You ain't seen "Bad Boys II?
I won't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.

Why did you even try to watch it lol
K893 893 I was drunk and someone payed for everyone to watch it. I ended up just sleeping off the pints in the theater ha ha
I only watched about 5 minutes. 5 minutes ill never get back.
Was it that bad? I haven't seen it yet.
My favorite movie of all time. Always has been, always will be. Great music/soundtrack as well.
Thank you for using L.A. Guns in this video. Point Break has such a killer soundtrack. 🤘🏼
Nice one having Ratt's "Nobody Rides For Free" playing in the background at #4, as well as L.A. Guns' "Over The Edge" at #2.
I love this film. It perfectly captures the early 90s (my favorite era), and is one of Keanu's best roles and films. Great video too. :)
Watched the Matrix on VHS two days ago. Man, it's so good
I remember the early 90s very well. Those were good times! 😁

Don't forget since then he had a BRAIN TUMOR the size of a PLUM.

Right said Richard. But only this movie ?? I feel remaking of nice classic movies is nothing but another way of earning money.
But it BOMBED how is that a way to make money
Unless the original creator is involved or they care about the source material, most remakes are a mistake.

Minty you like totally nailed it brah
love this film its one of my favs
Keanu Reeves best line in any movie he’s ever done came from this movie, “I’m f***ing surfing”
For some reason, I can picture John Wick saying that. Maybe in the next movie?
Absolute quality choice of one of my all time classic movies, the strange thing about this is that I was honestly contemplating watching this movie as I've not seen it for a while, I even owned this on VHS Wide screen edition which after losing the case for it I made a call to Fox Video UK & explained that my dog had chewed it up ( a slight lie as I borrowed it to a friend that lost it somehow but who doesn't feel for a dog story)& the lovely receptionist sent me a duplicate out in protected against folds letter.

My favorite movie. That sky diving scene and music brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it and I'm not afraid to say it!
I always felt like patrick swayze and keenu reeves easily could have switched roles and could have made the movie more epic if swayze was the good guy johnny utah.
Nah Bhodi was the coolest character and demanded respect. Swayze pull it off way better than Keanu could.
I agree. I just feel that keenu could of played patrick swayze's role because with bill and ted coming out before this, i just always thought keenu had a better surfer vibe...especially the way he speaks.
Bodhi was the good guy.
During the making of Rainman, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruz would switch parts just to experiment with the roles.
This so reminds me of Fast and furious plot point lol maybe this was their inspiration.
Bio Hazard Agree, wouldn't be surprised. In my mind they both share the same movie universe. I tend to do that with movies and TV shows, makes things more interesting.

When you get the chance, can you make 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Rocketeer?
Yes, loved that movie when I was a kid, & also loved the NES game!
Only need to know ONE thing about that movie.... Jennifer Connelly is in it 😃😁
Please Minty do "BRAINDEAD"
Michael Dust
Yeah, Peter Jackson's Braindead was retitled to Dead Alive in North America but retained its name everywhere else.
AGENT BLACK yeah I keep on saying braindead Dead Alive do the Peter Jackson film I get ignored all I wanted was 10 things you didn't know about braindead
Does Keanu Reeves count?
you have to do the Monty Python films. Minty goes Monty!
I kick ass for THE LORD!
Another excellent job Minty! You are a Rock star!🤘 great music too.
Luv the channel. Grew up in the mid 80s and nineties what a throwback. Few up in Oregon near where this was filmed.
Minty do Road House.
Yeah, that would be a good one, too.
Michael Jackson Another great movie...I thought you'd be bigger
My Way or the Highway!
He did
I'm changing my name to Jason Nebraska. Maybe then I'll live a life full of action and excitement.
Also, great video! Perfect start to my Friday.
PlayfulOtter Omaha?
Only if you’re an ex-quarterback from Ohio State.
Btw: in the 2 times that Keanu played a quarterback in a film (point break and the replacements) he had attended Ohio state. Oddly enough no NFL quarterback has ever come from Ohio state university.
CamaroAmx sure there was, just look up Art Schlichter. He played in the NFL for about 10 seasons before he ended up in prison because he was such a degenerate gambler he ended up stealing money to pay for it!
Actually you are incorrect Minty. The guy at the end of film who says "Are you crazy, Mate"?, is a prominent and well known Australian actor, Peter Phelps.... well known in Aus, anyway.
Mentioning Flee made me think of another little known 80’s movie he was in , that would also make an interesting Minty episode, called Dudes. Also, seeing Brian Denehy in the movie poster made me think of F/X and F/X2. Also, awesome movies.
Top film.
10 things you didn't know about Fortress (1985), plz.
I thought "Johnny Utah" was a take on Johnny Unitas.
He was, Unitas was even referenced in the film
One of my all time favorite action movies. It actually makes adrenaline pump. Just plain awesome!
I remember seeing this in the cinema! Great film Mintman! Stay ace
NO ONE UNDERSTOOD ME, WHEN I TOLD PEOPLE ABOUT HOW THE FAST AND FURIOUS JUST COPY POINT BREAK
GOONIES AND SCARFACE MINTY PLEASE DO GOONIES AND SCARFACE 😁👍🏻👌🏻😃🍻🍻
He did reviews on both those movies
For those interested, the restaurant where Johnny meets Tyler is Neptunes Net on Hwy 1 north of Malibu. The Beach Boys song Surfing USA, the lyric "Ventura county line", refering to the LA/Ventura county line, that's right out in front of that restaurant. While it's good, it's got nothing on Jalama.
Thanks mitty :D u've made my day! This is one of my fav movies of all time. It got me into surf
Please do Cyborg (1989) next?
Some Van Damme would be cool
Chris Stoner Hell yeah, we need some, van damme it
Oh that's wicked. I watched that recently and I feel like it's so under rated. There's a great tribute video to that film with one of Perturbator's incredible songs called Death Squad - ruclips.net/video/Iy9PEq4n7Zs/видео.html
Johny40Se7en DUDE. That tribute vid was sick.
Movie idears.
Death Becomes Her

*Not a movie* but how about review USA Up All Night with Rhonda Sheer or Gilbert Godfried.
Rhonda Sheer. Jeezus we're old
eLi FILMS
Definitely are getting old.
USA Up All Night was awesome and would be today.
Damn I miss USA Up All Night. Gilbert Gottfried and then it was Rhonda Shears right?
" little hand says it's time to rock and roll " lol
Another great video Minty. Loved this movie!
Lmao. The so called "Aussie actor" is an actual Australian actor. How can you be from Australia and not know that the surfer at "Bells" who tells Johnny to "Go Back" is Peter Phelps? Australian through and through. Better edit that part out before you make yourself look a fool.
LOL. Too funny. I had no idea . But that's hilarious.
I went and rewatched . You are correct but he's thee only Aussie in the movie. All those Police were American . And honestly he didn't say " Aussie actor" he said " Aussie actors" . But your point is still funny. He should have recognized him .
@@quincee3376 Yeah, just joking. Love Minty's work. And I love how they made Phelps ham up the Aussie accent to make him seem like an American playing an Aussie, because a real Aussie accent isn't Aussie enough. Hollywood is hilarious sometimes.
@@robertb2196 oh for sure dude! I gotcha!
@@robertb2196 i'm Canadian and in Youngblood with Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze and small part by Keanu Reeves there's alot of over the top canadian accents. And Keanu's French-Canadian accent is brutal, lol. So i get what u mean .
Matthew Broderick wouldn't have worked. He's even more bland than Keanu Reeves. At least Reeves is more lovable as a person.
Best Patrick Swayze movie.. Ever and does this movie need a remake??.. Hell no.. Does this movie need a 4k remaster... Hell Yessss 😃👍
Your work is awesome. Congrats, man. Love from Brazil.
please do
WAYNE'S WORLD !!! WAYNE'S WORLD !!!
PARTY TIME !!!
EXCELENT !!!
You're the best, Minty BUT... have you thought of moving to film reviews to music to tv to video games reviews? A new "Top 10's" reviews? I bet the world would love it.
One of the rare films I've watched lots of times ..Brilliant.
Minty ! Great job man, you have been on a massive tear lately!
