Now this is a classic.
It really is....
I could not agree anymore
Special agent Utah.
I AM AN F B I A-GENT (with deadpan face)
Classic line
One the best movies that were ever made ! 😲🇺🇲🇮🇹🇲🇽
The fact that Patrick Swayze was really doing those jumps was awesome, his moves during that first skydiving scene were always cool to me
RIP to the old blood Swayze, passing the awesome torch to the new blood Keanu.
@@3Kings_Industriespassing the torch ?
Don’t forget they were in “Youngblood” together.
Which shows you once again why he's a legend.
"Utah, get me two!"
I quote this line all the time.
I invented an extended version years ago.
"Get me two! Because if you get me one, well my belly just might be full. But if you get me three, well I might not be able finish and then where do I put the leftovers. So two is the perfect number. If you order one then you've order one too few. Three and you've ordered too many. Two, Utah. Get me two"
Fun fact: The people behind the movie told Patrick Swayze he wasn't allowed to do the skydiving because they wouldn't be able to get the insurance on the movie if it was him instead of a stunt person. He said "ok" but then on that day, he said screw it Im doing it anyway and Patrick did the skydiving scene himself in 1 take because he knew it was the only chance he was gonna get to do it.
i call bullshit since there is more than one skydiving scene, so something about your supposed fact doesn't add up!
Tom Cruise: "Hold my beer." 😂
@@krizan1 for real!!
Yeah the chemistry between Patrick Swayze (RIP to a great person) and Keanu Reeves was great. Too bad they never made any other movies together.
they did, they were both in youngblood
@@cabowabodude Your right. Sorry forgot about that one.
There are three types of breaks in surfing, *Beach Break*, *Reef Break*, and *Point Break*, each is defined on where the wave "breaks" on landfall. Point Breaks are the most popular because of the traveling pipeline (letting surfers ride the wave longer), and unlike the others they are very unidirectional.
I never knew this.
I also didn't know that
I tried to read this is any voice but the "get pitted brah" voice and... I just couldn't manage.
I had no idea that 'Point Break' had anything to do with surfing even after all these years 😂
Oh wow. That's pretty cool.
"If you want the ultimate, you got to be willing to pay the ultimate price" and "It's not tragic to die doing what you love" BEST LINES IN THIS KICKASS MOVIE!!!!
Wrong, the best line is "Utah, get me two" ✌
Hello guys...Patrick Swayze was a real sport. He did all the surfing and skydiving scenes. A hello from Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Keanu jumping out of the plane with no chute was 101% badass as hell. IDGAF its AWESOME.
Another good sky dive film, DROP ZONE w/ Wesley Snipes
The jump without a chute was probably inspired by the cold opening of the James Bond film Moonraker.
Tom Cruise probably said I wanna do better.
Another great skydiving movie is Terminal Velocity (1994) with Charlie Sheen and James Gandolfini.
@@vincecommando7575 Hell yes!!! His "Coffeetron dick defender" line🤣🤣🤣
After watching this movie with my buddies in my teen years, all we could say to each other was just “IT’S THE ULTIMATE HIGH!” Even if we were doing regular things it was just our little joke.
When I was in the Marine Corps, back in the early nineties, it was "Utah, make it two!" With my friends and I.
Classic movie
We've seen this in the theater with my high school friends, we were in a town on the France Atlantic Coast (South West), and this movie blew everyone's mind...
I said, EVERYONE !!!!
The camera work in this film never gets enough recognition. That first scene when Utah enters the FBI office, it is all a single track shot. And the foot chase scene is pretty remarkable too.
I love the little things too, like the shot of Utah driving up late to the house bust. Just a long shot of the car driving anxiously towards us.
100% yes
I'm with Samantha on the gardener getting involved.
I get paid to cut the grass, "My name is Paul and that shit's between y'all."
Daniel was so freaking funny with this rewatch. So many good lines. Practicing his Dad jokes
This movie is so impactful. I was in Bali and saw a Mural of Bodhi. What an influence.
Kathryn Bigelow is a legend. Love her so much :) Her directing style is absolutely fantastic (Strange Days is visually amazing). Her filmography isn't large, but it is distinguished :) Near Dark, Point Break, Strange Days, K-19, Hurt Locker (for which she won the Oscar for Best Director - first woman in history to do so), Zero Dark Thirty. She's also 71 and still making films :)
Zero Dark Thirty and the Hurt Locker are amazing
Now you can understand the reference Tony Stark said to Thor - "No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing" LOL
One of my favorite movies. I don't think it got the credit it deserved for being an original angle on the buddy cop/ crime story, the performances of the actors, the depth of the characters. Definitely top of the line for 90s action movies!
With time it's become a classic. People love this movie
Easily the best Fast and Furious movie ever made.
It was very popular when it was released.
@@grimmbilly9263 in the sense that it was an action movie it was popular. But so were Steven Segal movies etc. It didn't really get recognition for being so much more than just action
Fast and Furious, was born from this movie, if it had not existed, Fast and Furious would not exist either
The Devil's Advocate, Constantine and A Scanner Darkly are also so good! Hope you do them as well. Point Break is an absolute classic! One of my all time favorites!
Gary Busey is a national treasure. What a damn legend.
Great reaction to this classic movie, guys.
Bodhi didn't make an effort to surf the wave at the end. He had basically made up his mind to commit suicide and he took a dive on his way down. As he said to Johnny "just let me catch one wave before you take me". He didn't plan on being around after that first wave.
I remember watching this with my dad. Who was an undercover agent for the DEA.. he didn’t like the movie at all lol. I liked it. He just kept saying, nope, that’s wrong, you’d never do that, etc.
Funny thing Cheech and Chong was one of his favorites.
Having an DEA dad who's dark side is loving Cheech & Chong.... ? 😂 Quite a combo
My dad did 46 years in military service. The only war movie he liked was Full Metal Jacket because of the first half. He said the Vietnam part sucked
Hollywood will always wrinkle the feathers of anyone familiar with any material they cover. That's why it's always better when they skip details and focus on moving a story forward, or attempting misdirection.
@@timcook6566 He's probably right... the interviews on the battle field seemed totally unreal
Fun fact: when "Office Space" went out ALL computers programmers said "This is NOT a comedy ! It's REAL LIFE !"...
And when they see the excellent series "The IT Crowd", again they all say "Moss is the real guy !"
You should 100% add The Replacements to your Keanu movie list. One of the best :)
YES PLEASE !!!
I can not hear "I will survive" without mental images from that film filling my head lol...
Or the better first version, Necessary Roughness.
@@joshsibley6419 Or "Bad Girls"
Should also add Johnny Mnemonic
This is one of my favorite movies. Its a unique vibe for sure, like a modern day Shakespearean greek tragedy or something. Thanks for reacting!
Also the first Fast and Furious is an exact copy but with car racing instead of surfing and no one ever mentions it.
Saw this movie on the big screen multiple times. It was amazing-especially the skydiving scene.
People who weren't around back then don't get what a big deal it was for Keanu Reeves. After "Bill and Ted", Keanu himself was perceived to be Ted in real life. Everyone thought that was his real personality. In a way, he was a joke. Ted was the only role he was really known for. "Point Break" leaned into the perception that he was a California "dude" but made him an action star and a leading man at the same time. This is the movie that made his career possible. It changed how the public perceived him.
Truth
Kathryn Bigelow directing some of the most memorable "macho" movies of the last thirty years is the icing on the cake.
This is one of my favorite Keanu Reeves movies! Thanks for reacting to this one! 👍👍👍👍👍
Mine too,this movie and Speed.
Wish they would react to Road House with Patrick Swayze. He's a bartender that knows karate helping to clean up a bar. They would love it!
The chase sequence in this film is so cool.
Drift!
Fun fact. Since the scene was spoofed in "Hot Fuzz" (along with "Bad Boys 2", just getting permission to use this scene was the hardest part of that entire film's production.
I think this movie was an important 90's movie. After this, and Nirvana, all the mullets went away and alt haircuts became hip.
If you like Kathryn Bigelow she also did the great 80's vampire movie Near Dark. Super underrated and part of the 80's 3 great vampire movies along with Lost Boys and Fright Night.
Anthony Kiedis and Flea both appear in the 90's movie The Chase.
Imagine this movie has 9 sequels, and Keanu dropped after the sixth installment, but Patrick keeps milking it and have surfing duel with pirates with gunboat, oil tanker and submarine sorta sh*ts.
(and the third one that sets in Tokyo bay is the one I like the most)
"Ride Or Die!" ✌
Or the version where the Bodi-type becomes the undercover agent. "The things I do for my country"
@@LordVolkov Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, what an interestingly calm and slow-burn take on the Bond-like/unwilling-hero genre, 9/10.
That's what Hollywood wished they could do in hindsight.
"Family"
Well, it's time to stop everything I'm doing to watch TBR Schmitt and Samantha watch Point Break!!!!!
Ah the spiritual precursor to the entire Fast and Furious franchise
"Ride Or Die!" ✌
if it had not existed this movie, Fast and Furious would not exist either
Bullshit. This movie was actually good.
7:36 Bodie's name is short for Bodhisattva from Buddhism, essentially an enlightened being whose goal is awakening. Also, one who has attained such a degree of enlightenment that they can reach nirvana, but who out of compassion remains behind to help others on the path. A perfect fit for Swayze's character and how in his own unorthodox, misguided rebel way, sought a higher spiritual plane and sense of self, and sought to enlighten those around him.
"I could eat the ass end out of a rhino" was also said by Bill Paxton in Apollo 13. I can't remember which one of them actually says that irl and which one was giving him a kind of a shout out to the other.
Bill Paxton is in another Katherine Bigalow film that has a cult following, Near Dark. Much better than "Lost Boys" IMHO.
Throw a beard on Keanu, and he's the same-looking guy 32 years later.
You're not wrong
Patrick was my childhood hero, and still love that guy. Really miss his style and vibe. About Keanu, what can I say.....love this guy too, awesome and humble. Thank u Katheryn for putting this movie out with my two favorite guys along side with Gary Busey and ALL that surfer stuff. Cool as hell! Besides, that great early 90s vibe. I miss those days too
Samantha after the tanline mention: *"Dont surfers wear wetsuits???"*
- Thats exactly what i thought as a kid 😂😂😂
Gary Busey is a great hilarious actor. Hes perfect for this movie.
He's got a stand out part in "Surviving The Game" too.
TBR: "Ive seen that azzhole before!!!"
- Too many jokes in my head😂😂😂
If only real-life FBI agents were as cool as Clarice Starling, Dale Cooper, and Johnny Utah.
Don't forget Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.
TRUE STORY: Patrick Swayze literally throwing a dog at Keanu is one of my favorite things ever. Its so damn creative/funny. I can dodge a brick, but WTF throws a dog?🤣🤣🤣
And technically it wasn't even Patrick Swayze who threw the dog at him IRL. He was unavailable to do the chase scene that day because he was promoting Ghost, so it was really a stuntman in the Ronald Reagan mask who Keanu was chasing.
I have no problem dodging dogs
@@TheShockninja That stuntman is awesome 😂😂😂
Red Dawn (the original) is another top notch Patrick Swayze movie - highly recommended
I highly recommend Street Kings. A really gritty police corruption movie. Flew under the radar but was fantastic
Love seeing you all watch films together. Samantha continues to kill it in her breakdowns of what she loved like and did not like This is one of my top 5 favorite mindless films to watch and just relax, road house is that way for me.
Saw this at the movies and laughed out loud at the dog throw and punt scene. To this day I'll never forget that. What a weird thing to actually shoot for a movie. And for the editor to leave in. Always get a kick out of that and the Johnny hates losing so much he jumps from plane with only a gun scene. Pure action to the max.
This film really broke a lot of barriers and stereotypes, and was actually quite progressive. You had a female director directing a blockbuster style action film. Kathryn Bigelow really did an amazing job on this:) Patrick Swayze playing a likable villain, and Keanu Reeves breaking out into action which would eventually become his career:)
And Gary Busey not being the unhinged villain for once
@@Sgt_Glory Definitely. I always think of him playing Corey Haim’s uncle in Silver Bullet, he does well in the good guy roles, when he’s not doing his Mister Joshua routine:)
“GHOST “ with Patrick Swayze is a really great movie!! You’d love it!!
100% scoring with guns, driving a Mustang, encountering a dog, and the long hair at the end, Johnny Utah became John Wick!
Patrick Swayze is just on another level in this role (and, I think, that's what you always got from Swayze!). His charisma and performance in this is just unmatched IMHO.
My wife and I are really enjoying watching movies with you two. ❤ Thanks for sharing!
Oh, and yeah, Roadhouse IS a classic action flick. And it sounds like you probably should do a vid for Ghost, since one of you haven't seen it!
This movie is so slept on. It’s amazing
Love this movie, two more little known Keanu Reeves movies worth keeping in mind is A River's Edge and Permanent Record. River's Edge is based on a news story that actually happened back in the 80's I believe.
Ooh, a TBR reaction. What a good end to my crappy day. 🙂👍
LITERALLY ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME. Anyone who’s says differently doesn’t know shit.
Fax 😎
Red Dawn and Road House are fantastic movies you both will enjoy immensely. And if you haven't seen The Outsiders, its an outstanding film with a huge cast of greats you will recognize including Patrick Swayze.
Another overlooked early Keanu film is The Rivers Edge. A truly excellent movie.
Red Dawn also has a large cast of greats. Amazing movie. Too bad the remake sucked
Youngblood absolute must watch
@@RickYoungBlood666 Hell yes! Keanu as a French Canadian goalie, must watch!
I've been waiting for this reaction. This is my favorite Keanu Reeves 90's action film. So underrated. The action is great, and the soundtrack kicks ass.
Nobody rides for free…..🏄♂️
Great movie. You should see Keanu Constantine and Chain Reaction and The Devil Advocate. Also Patrick Swayze Road House and Ghost . Fyi Gary Busey was already in a great surfer movie you should see called Big Wednesday. The singer of Red Hat Chilli Pepper plays a small role in this movie. He is the guy who shot his own leg. Point Break was also Tony Stark nickname to Thor :) because of Patrick Swayze blonde hair. The remake suck don't watch it. Another early fun underrated Keanu Reeves movie is The Night Before you should see it.
YES!!!
This was the very first Keanu Reeves movie i watched growing up! Thank god i have this on DVD.
Also RIP Patrick Swayze, 1952-2009.
He's surfing with God now.
9:34 the "bro" whose life Johnny Utah saved, is none other than Matt Archbold, professional surfer and Patrick Swayze's surfing stunt double. He gets most of his screentime during the Bodhi montage that starts at 7:34.
Keanu was once the "GOOFBALL GUY" in movies. Fast-forward 30 years and hes John Wick!!! One of the best and most unexpected career arcs in history.
Right up there with Robin Williams. Though he didn't move on to action but just much more serious dramatic roles.
Classic Keanu/Shwayze movie.
THE REPLACEMENTS with Keanu.
ROADHOUSE with Swayze.
Keanu!!!! Still not Bill & Ted’s but still an iconic movie. HE IS A FBI AGENT!!!
* I AM AN F-B-I AGENT!
The Point Break reference in Hot Fuzz is hilarious.
Always fun to see you both going in blind, I don't know if you ever saw Hot Fuzz from The Cornetto Trilogy but there's a big Point Break homage in it, if you've not seen it you're missing out.
This also has low-key one of the funniest lines ever, "Back off War Child, seriously"
No, I've never shot my gun in the air and gone AAAHHH
Pretty sure they reacted to it!
They mention this around the 33:16 mark. 😉
Speaking of Anthony Kiedis, you have to watch The Chase with Charlie Sheen. Great cameo by Kiedis and Flea! The movie is a fun watch.
One of the greatest movies ever.
With a killer soundtrack to boot.
such an awesome movie, Kathryn Bigelow is highly underrated as a director(Strange Days in paricular doesn't get the attention it deserves).
This is the movie that The Fast and the Furious ripped off its entire plot from.
Fast and the Furious movies are all trash, lol.
I totally forgot John C. McGinley was in this film. Gotta love his deadpan style delivery.
The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy. Another great multi-tone action movie.
One of the best movies of the 90's. Everyone remembers Patrick Swayze from Ghost, but for me this is his masterpiece, RIP. And the skydiving scene is so great that after watched i have the desire of one day do it
So glad you spotted the Red Hot Chili Peppers guy!
This is one of those movies that proves the "experts" and critics wrong. Its FUN, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I cant freaking believe its 32 years old!!!
It was generally well received by critics at the time...
@@robertcampbell8070 I remember it torn to shreds, granted I was in 6th grade lmao. But I 100% remember the actor's, plot, and several other things getting shredded. Keanu's "California surfer dude performance" being the big one. The ending where Keanu traveled the World to let Swayze just paddle off after killing Busey and kidnapping Tyler another. The plot DOES SUCK to be fair lol, but it's still fun.
A critic can only judge the objective quality of a movie, in this case, it sucks.
it has a 70% critic and 79% fan ratings on RT. I was around 20 at the time and it wasn't panned really. It did become bigger as time went on though and more people saw it on VHS and other mediums.
@@kickstart_1.3 Did YOU enjoy it though? That's my point. I'm assuming you're not a self-proclaimed expert, and also not a well-known critic. I'm just curious and NOT bashing you or critics/experts. Just wondering if u liked it. I gotta run, but have a great night pal. Wasn't trying to be a jerk btw I promise. This movie sucks by so many standards, but I still think it's fun. Jmo friend.
Every time I see someone reacting to Point Break my first thought is, 'all right, they are doing the bicycle movie!' Only to realize three seconds later that I am thinking of 1979's Breaking Away. Which was a very good movie that I hope has a place somewhere on your To Watch list.
,, I dunno why but I always think of the title,, the big blue (1988) , which is mebbe a swimming movie w Jean Reno
Yeah! Breaking Away. My Dad was into cycling when I was growing up and I remember watching that movie with him. But years later Rad came into my life and that became the ultimate bike movie for me.
Loved that you both watched this one. I’d suggest to also watch Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and Constantine. Bill and Ted is what made Keanu a legend and Constantine is an underrated comic book movie with the best version of the Devil.
Point Break came out when I was 12 and it blew my mind. Its been my favourite action film ever since. I think it might be one of the 1st times I remember seeing a bad guy that I didn't hate & although not rooting for him I kind of hoped things worked out, because Bodhi was very likable.
Like you mentioned, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves made a great duo. I loved their chemistry. ( Also check out Ice hockey film Youngblood, with both of them).
Keanu & Gary Busey were also great together.
The action,
The foot chase,
The tension,
The Skydiving scene,
Gary Buseys crazy one liners,
So quotable.
Also scene stealers Tom Sizemore & John C McGinley.
Kathyrn Bigelows Direction. ( Also you got to check out Strange Days also directed by Bigelow)
What's not to like.
I agree with everything you said. It’s funny you mentioned Strange Days. I just saw it again two nights ago after probably 20 years, and I have to say, it still holds up. That’s definitely a great one.
@Daniel Johnson Both Point Break & Strange Days are in my top 10 favourite films.
I'm not really interested in awards "Oscars etc". I just want to be entertained, and by God, do these films entertain!
Also, Strange days has a kick ass soundtrack.
One of my favorite movies ❤. Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Other Bigelow flicks to add to your list - "Near Dark", "Strange Days", & "Zero Dark Thirty" You will love them all.
I love this movie. So glad you enjoyed it! While this is a great action movie, I also think there's a certain serious undertone that makes it feel a bit more adult than a lot of action films. Johnny changes so much from being a 'blue flame special' to a man who can let his perp go, knowing he won't survive that wave anyway. All on his first case.
The actress in this was in A League of Your Own as Dot's sister. She looks so different with black hair vs. red! PS Please add To Wong Foo (Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar). It's amazing to see Patrick in such a different role! As rugged and macho as he always is in his movies, he plays an elegant and genteel drag queen.
Amazing, amazing, amazing film! You guys, again, amazing break down at the end and I'm now 💯 that you guys are a mile ahead of every other reaction channel on RUclips! Your videos have kept me going through my divorce with the fantastic reactions to some of my fav films of all time! Keep up the good work!
Great 90s action flick at its finest!!
I'm beyond excited that you guys finally reacted to this! The Johnny/Body frenemy bromance is my favourite of the 90's. Keanu and Patrick had such amazing chemistry. RIP to an incredible actor. Watching his death scenes in these movies now are so sad.
This is a 90s movie, not 80s.
The 2015 version is garbage, especially compared to this one.
Love this under rated movie. Glad you reacted!!!!!
A few years later, there were some other action crime movies with skydiving as a major element - Drop zone(Wesley Snipes) & Terminal velocity(Charlie Sheen), both more on the campy end of the spectrum though.
Ridley Scott was considered to direct the film, but dropped out to make the Oscar Nominated Dark Comedy Crime Drama THELMA AND LOUISE, which I highly recommend.
Before Keanu Reeves was cast as Johnny Utah, Matthew Broderick, Johnny Depp, Val Kilmer and Charlie Sheen were considered.
I could totally see Charlie Sheen as Utah vs Val Kilmer as Bodhi
This was the way it should have been. Those other actors wouldn't have pulled it off.
Can you PLEASE do Keanu's movie A Walk in the Clouds? It's SO beautiful - but so underated. He plays a young soldier coming home and falling in love. A very different role - but he's still amazing.
Please don't do A Walk In The Clouds!!! Unless you want to cater to eleven people.
@@jkhoover I would love to see one of my favourite Keanu movies looked at by two of my favourite reactors. I know it's not for everyone - but I honestly think they would really like it.
@@jeannieschmidt2217 I know. I have personal favorites too that I'd love to see, but they do have to consider the watchability of their reactions. I truly think A Walk In The Clouds would be their worst performing video, because it's too small.
Summer 1991 was full of some hits. A lot of people avoided this movie off at first and wrote it off because they thought there was something comical about surfers being bank robbers. The trailer was very well done and matched the adrenaline of the movie. Keanu Reeves would later get more press for his action role in "Speed" but he was quite physical and intense in this movie. Kathryn Bigelow definitely showed some action chops and we did not get enough of her at the time.
But it is also a ushering a new era
It wasn’t that so much as bad timing. It came out less than 2 weeks after Terminator 2 (which everybody wanted to see) and the same day as Boyz N the Hood, which soon got everybody’s attention. I only saw this in theaters because the 7 o’clock for T2 was sold out (We went to the late show of T2 afterwards). Probably the best double feature I’ve ever done.
@@bobcobb3654 it felt rushed
@@lexkanyima2195 I wouldn’t call it “rushed,” it’s about as well put together as any medium budget action flick for that time. I just think the release was just bad luck. I’m sure nobody at Fox was worried about Boyz N the Hood coming out at the same time (low budget serious social drama from a 22-year old first time director versus Patrick Swayze, surfing, guns, and explosions?) and I think studios had no idea T2 was going to be a phenomenon (T2’s budget was $25 million more than the entire box office earnings from the first movie) and figured it would have been losing momentum by the time Point Break came out. As a result, PB was 3rd on everyone’s list, and by the time most people got around to wanting to go see it, it was already out of their local theater. But eventually, home video and HBO gave Point Break the big audience it should have gotten right off the bat.
I think we can say this without hyperbole: Point Break is not only the finest piece of American cinema, it is one of the great works of Western Civilization. I hope archaeologists dig this movie up 3000 years from now and gaze upon it in wonder like when they first uncovered King Tut's tomb.
A Keanu movie you should watch is "Constantine". A supernatural movie that's really cool.
I second this recommendation. While it's true that Keanu Reeves isn't British and doesn't *look* anything like the John Constantine from the HELLBLAZER comics (and later on, the TV series), he *acts* the part very well. My opinion? Take the movie on its own merits, not as an adaption; it's a great movie.
(Plus, it also has Tilda Swinton in it. I will watch anything that has Tilda Swinton in it.)
Anthony Kiedis also had a small role in the movie "The Chase" (1994) and the whole band was in a scene, of a movie titled "Tough Guys" (1988), as themselves performing in a club.
The key discourse is when Bodie talks to his surfer friends and explains to them what they are, they are the free spirit of the man who proves to be still alive, Bodie was not violent, he probably had never killed anyone in his life, but he found in a situation where he would have had to do it to save himself, from that moment on it was a continuous descent for him and his friends.
In this film it is Bodie who strikes the viewer, because absurdly it is the antagonist who strikes as much as the protagonist if not more... in fact they tried to make a remake of this film a few years ago, precisely because of its success.
A lot of people call this a "guilty pleasure." Im not ashamed one bit to say i love this f***ing movie!!!
Yeah I don’t get that. This movie is pure gold.
@@graham974 Hell yes!!!
No guilty pleasure for me,a very good film,well made.The first Fast and Furious movie stole this plot/story. LOL.
It guarantees I don't get an early night if it ever shows up in the TV schedule
The Eutaw/Bhodi foot chase through the suburbs is epic. May be one of the best Chase scenes in movie history.
I don’t believe Bohdi is unhinged. He was an honorable man. Things got away from him.
The movie is pretty much brother vs brother.
Another very underrated action classic that gets very little to no respect is "HARLEY DAVIDSON & THE MARLBORO MAN,starring Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke! Check it out,you'll enjoy it! Great reaction guys! I have watched this film several times and I never get tired of it.
I Concur
Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both have a good night
Excellent Choice, this is one Hardcore Action Classic! Surf's Up...👍 Oh, and be sure to check-out Keanu in one of the Funniest Football Movies that I have ever seen, "The Replacements!"
i was about 10 when this came out, and though it was Rated R i remember it was a big pop culture thing back then, Swayze was in his prime, some classic action sequences, Busey, John C McGinley... Anthony Kiedis from RHCP has a small role, and they were MASSIVE at that time too. good stuff, pure 90's.
I liked watching Point Break when it first came out, but I kept thinking of Keanu Reeves as his character, Ted Logan, from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Couldn't get it out of my head.
These are the kind of crime movies I love. Bodhi is such a likeable dude in some respects. Committed to freedom.
Another darker film thats similar is Hell or High Water with Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges
13:36 officially a dad joke 🙂
