Keanu Reeves has been killing it at the box office in recent years (and possibly in the video game world too if Cyberpunk 2077 stops glitching.) With franchises like The Matrix and John Wick under his belt, Reeves is an absolute action star. But thirty years ago, he was still trying to prove himself as a viable lead for those kinds of movies. And Point Break did just that!
Point Break definitely does raise some questions though. Like why is the famous football star with a bad knee Johnny Utah chosen to go undercover, while ALSO using his real name? What were the odds of the very first person he encountered on the beach having a direct connection to the bank robbers he’s looking for? How many terrible decisions can Utah make in a single movie? Why are we suddenly skydiving?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Point Break! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

“So what ... what is this???” Never realized how much this movie makes absolutely no sense.
90s never made any sense. It was.never about realism back then
It was all.about escaping realism.
All my friends liked this movie but I could never understand why. I thought it was so nonsensical, it made my head hurt. Even casting the guy from "Bill and Ted" couldn't couldn't make the stupidity on display in this movie make sense.
back then was about being rad not about making sense
@@ressljs Because a movie doesn't have to be realistic for it to be good. Some people are able to suspend their disbelief and enjoy a flick. It had good acting, great action scenes and a unique story. They took things that are cool and put them in a single movie. Surfers, FBI, Bank Robbers. Movies still do that, Giant Robots, Flaming Swords, Giant Monsters. Various super heroes. Aliens, Monsters and Giant woman.
I always loved the part where the guy throws a dog at Keanu!
“Very romantic now that I know that he’s good looking”
😂🤣😂😂
Legendary!!!
I paused this video for a conversation. When I came back, I read this comment, and then pressed play only to immediately hear exactly this.
Aint that the truth
^Every stalker story ever featuring every romance novel reading lady who is single at the time.
There's really no reason they couldn't have had the skydiving scene BEFORE his cover was blown.
I felt Johnny didn't really have a choice or that is what he believed anyway
Actually it made the scene way more intense. Everyone knew who each other was and the whole parachute shuffling part made you wonder what was going to happen. Then after they made it to the ground and everyone seemed cool with each other because of their "brotherhood", Brody pulled the blackmail to join in a robbery for Tylers life. I think it fit perfectly well.
I’m going to need you to get all the way off my back about the ordering of events in this movie.
Exactly
@@themange99 Good points. Ryan's critiques have a somewhat paradoxical relationship with subtext. Sometimes he likes it, other times he elbow drops it from the top rope. I think he might just be writing whatever is funniest 🤔
Now I completely understand how the Fast & Furious movies were inspired by this. They kept the most important plot point of nothing making sense and just have attractive people look cool.
Ripped off*
There, I fixed it for you.
You’re welcome
I saw the first Fast and The Furious movie in the theater and pegged it as a point break ripoff in the first ten minutes because I’m super smart and I need other people to think so.
Dammit.
I really did though.
Even though I’m not super smart.
That’s enough UA-cam for today.
"I mean what are the odds of that right?"
"You tell me."
"No!" 😂
OK then.
"No" are the odds
The odds are astronomical, but that's okay because they're in ... er, never mind.
That "Please elaborate", "No", "Well okay then" exchange is rapidly becoming one of my favorite jokes he uses.
50/50: Either they were or not
Keanue Reeves, Surfing, Bank robbers, Skydiving, 90s what more do we need
🤣still a fav movie
Kathryn Bigelow
Well, surfing was really more an eighties phenomena. Skateboarding bank robbers who also occasionally rollerblade for some reason-- now THAT'S nineties!
Crack
You forgot to add the surfers have to stay at 80mph at all times or they'll blow up! Also, there is a choppa! Get to it if you want to live!
“Oh that’s creepy”
“Oh, no, he’s attractive “
“Oh that’s makes it romantic then”
Lol. Sad but honestly actually true.
I feel like that sums up a lot of teen dramas/romance.
50 Shades of Grey would be a very different movie if Christian Grey wasn't a billionaire.
Hey their Delilah is a rather creepy song when you think about it and chicks went nuts for it.
it isn't actually true in real life lmao but in lots of pop culture media, yeah
Well yeah. But the movie needs to happen, so I'm going to need you to get aaaaall the way off of my back about that.
The awkward moment when you realise Keanu Reeves has only aged about 10 years in 30 years and can still do action movies while all the others are old or dead.
Not all of them. Tom Cruise is 2 years older than Keanu. Jet Li is 1 year older than Keanu. JCVD is 4 years older. Hugh Jackman is 4 years younger. They can probably still do action movies. Dolf Lundgren (7 years older) could probably do it. Michelle Yeoh (2 years older) and Lucy Liu (4 years younger) could do some action movies. They should all do a one movie together.
@@IndigoIndustrial I think the first person meant all of the other actors in the film are old/dead, not all actors in general.
@@dextervinant4874 Possible but 'all the others' includes Patrick (passed away) and Gary (never really an action star)', and Lori (?).
I still want to see a film with all of those other actors.
@@IndigoIndustrial Ah gotcha, just seemed like you were talking about actors that were not in Point Break, which is what the first guy was talking about.
@@IndigoIndustrial Liam Neasen is 70 years old and is still killing people left and right.
"Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?' "

Immediately thought of that when I read "Point Break"
Ahhh. A fellow cultured Hot Fuzz fan...
"No ive never fired my gun in the air and yelled Aaaaaah"

The Fuzz
Was he Judge Judy and Executioner?
The Pitch guy realizing his pitch about the famous football star didn’t made sense is me when I re-read an essay I wrote the previous night.
Been there!
Sup kurosaki u gae now?
All the Fast & Furriest franchise based on the same basic storyline as Point Break.
Ryan George, you are a genius.
And triple x
*Ryan George, you are geniuses.
Well, Honest Trailers did it first. So...
Fast and Furriest? That brings up a whole other image lol 🐱🦊🦁🦓
I certainly recognised the first Fast and the Furious being a rip off of Point Break but with cars, it was pretty obvious.
I couldn't stop cracking up at the way he repeatedly says "sky diving" 😂
That “not creepy because he is handsome” is way too true.
Not really though
It’s crazy how many movies who have the main character be real creepy towards men/women (depends on the target demo of the movie, because if they’re not the target demo I guess they aren’t human)
50 shade of grey intensifys
Works only in movies.
In reality being handsome gets you a bit of extra goodwill. But if you keep violating people's boundaries, you will be called a creep, whether you look like Quasimodo or Brad Pitt.
@@genericperson753 and twilight
Then the storm did a back flip, snapped the bad guy's neck, and saved the day!
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
Well if he’s in, I’m in
More like "and the 50-year storm wave did a back flip, snapped the bad guy's neck and saved the day!"
@@_Twothless well if he’s in I’m not in
First time in a long time that line actually worked.
Nicely played
The only difference between the two movies is that Vin Diesel's character lives at the end
And also one's "about family."
Also, one is from the early 90's, and the other takes place when it's time to get paid
I think what they were going for with the plot was an idea that Johnny is kind of unhappy with his life as an FBI agent, and that he's tempted to switch sides and run away to live with the bank-robbing surfers because surfing is more fun than investigating crimes, and because of how unbelievably cool Patrick Swayze is.
That's why Bodhi doesn't just kill him immediately--he thinks he might be able to recruit Johnny into his gang, or at least convince him to betray the FBI and let them go.
They didn't necessarily pull off this theme with complete success, though--perhaps because Keanu Reeves' ability to portray a character going through an emotional conflict would require him to be able to portray any emotions at all in the first place--so I can understand the confusion.
If they didn't convey that message, they didn't mean that message. They could establish what you're talking about with one sentence of dialogue.
@@ChristophBrinkmannyeah I didn’t get that from the movie at all (although it’s an interesting theory). Never felt there was any thought of turning Johnny.
My thoughts exactly Bodhi is a adrenaline junkie and when he finds out Utah is FBI that opened up another door to his addiction like he Told Utah in the Van when Utah said " I cannot do this" (meaning robbing a bank as a FBI agent) Bodhi replies "sure you can who knows you might like it" Utah was stuck between to dimensions investigating crimes and following laws OR live for the Moment like Bodhi does and use the system to fund their lifestyles. It was foreshadowing when Tyler said " you have the kamikaze look Johnny I have seen it before Bodhi can smell it a mile away he will take you to the edge.......past" Bodhi comes in and says "Johnny has his own demons" which means Bodhi could see Utah was really at a crossroads in life. It is hands down my favorite movie of all time.
Johnny Utah, Johnny Mnemonic, John Wick, John Constantine, Jonathan in Dracula, Don John in Much a Do About Nothing and John in Destination Um.
Makes me wonder if someone just calls Keanu John and he responds to it as if it is his name.
And Neo
@@maximummatt73 Yeah, but Neo isn't his name. It's Johnny Anderson.
Just kidding, it's Thomas.
@@daff42 His name..... IS NEO.
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Wow! Wow! Wow!
“Very romantic now that I know he’s good looking.” 😂
😂😂😂😂
Hey that quote is from the thing I just watched!
@@curtissiebold4460 😁👍
"So you have a Pitch meeting video for me?"
"Yes sir I do."
"Wow wow wow wow wow!"
“So what...what is this?” Awesome
Edit: the Fast 9 blindside was tight
Fun fact - they did actually change the main character's name. Originally it was Johnny Massachusetts.
Could be worse. At least it's not Utah Johnny Montana.
Could have been Johnny Alabama.
I like how basically every Keanu Reeves role is named Johnny
Vinny Florida.
@13Shelby Well that's a city.
“What are the odds of that?”
“You tell me.”
“No.”
“Ok.”
That "NO" was epic lol
to be fair: they narrowed it down to surfers of a specific beach analysing the toxins from a hair sample
You probably don't care for a direct answer, but since I'm an engineer, I have to give you one.
1. There are 3.3 million surfers in the US.
2. 29% of US surfers are in California.
3. 19% of surfers are female.
Multiply all three factors, and you get 181,000 female surfers in California. So the odds are 181,000 to 1 against.
@Joe Schembrie They just met so the movie happen, how convenient!
The odds are clearly 1/2 - Either she is part of the gang or she isn't!
Btw: I wanna see a Tommy Wiseau „The Room“ Pitch Meeting!
Oh jeez.....
"So, what.... What is this?" 🧐😶
I almost died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like “Actually it’s not creepy cause he’s the main character and also good looking” should be a new meme format
It’s applicable to a lot of stories
And in real life too. Often the single biggest reason a woman determines whether or not a guy's advances are welcome or creepy depends on whether she finds him attractive.
@@throatwobblermangrove8510 Well, that's life my friend. Nothing is fair in this anarchy universe.
@@johntthompson3687 It's not really a question of fair or unfair; it's just an observation of reality.
Yes
@@throatwobblermangrove8510 The problem now is to know whether or not you are attractive, you may end up with a date or criminal charges😅
He's the perfect person to go undercover... He's famous and everything😂😂😂
Come to think of it, that WAS the exact same reasoning as in the first Triple X movie. Which starred Vin Diesel. Who also did 'Point Break - but with cars'.
@Clips and Tributes stop spamming.
::laughs in ashton kutcher went undercover to free sex traffik victims::
@@armedwombat6816at least in that movie his character was famous for bad people since he was doing ilegal extreme sports
Point Break is such an underrated Keanu gem. I saw it as a kid in the late 90s and still love it, despite the insane plot holes and super conveniences.
Just don't watch the remake. It's horrible.
I am rewatching plenty of pitch meetings and it's a delight to see Ryan getting better and better at the delivery of his iconic lines ^^
Drops everything for a Ryan George moment
Wholesome
I hope you didnt drop your phone
Writer Guy: Bank robbing surfers.
Producer Guy: I'm in.
Me: You son of a gun, I'm in too.
Well if he's in, I'm in
@@PatrickWDunne I'm in if you're in.
I've seen like 100 of these and they're still not stale.
Ryan, I appreciate your hard work!
You could do Dirty Harry - " So then he throws away his badge." / "So no sequels?"/ "Wellll..."
Oh, that would be a good series, there's goofy, cool and utter bile
ScreenRant: we uploaded a new pitch meeting.
Me no matter what it is: wow! wow! wow! wow.. wow.
Damn! I was going to post the EXACT same comment. Hats off to you, sir.
This has to be a Disney movie. It's their signature to bond protagonists over their dead parents 😆
Marthaaaaaaa!
@@pvshka that's warner bros
@@zenituragaming5043 yeah, that was my point 😁
His parents aren't dead though he lied.
Bonding over dead parents is tight!
this pitch meeting deserves more than 1 million views!
let's raise it to 2 million by rewatching it over and over again,
this should be super easy barely an inconvenience
reaching 1 million views is tight!
Shoulda said "Sir, I'm going to need you to sky dive off my back."
I will never get tired of hearing “actually it’s going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience” it sounds like gold
And then the follow-up "Oh, really?!" :)
I feel like about all the catchphrases!
"It's gold Jerry...GOLD!"
Gold catchphrases are TITE, wow, wow, wow, wow, WOW
@@OneIssueVoter beautiful. I am still awaiting this to happen to me :)
That twist at the end when we get to know that Pointbrake's remake was Fast and Furious was of M Night Shyamalan level....or should I say....
TIGHT!!!
There is an actual remake of Point Break, no one likes it though.
Yeah yeah yeah
Whoops
Whoopsie!!
Dude, the random skydiving scene was the best scene in the movie!!!
Me: I love Point Break!
*rewatching after 20 years*
"I still love this movie despite everything."
*watching Pitch Meetings*
"I still love this movie! It's a mystery as to why."
God damn, my disbelief was definitely suspended in the 90’s
Yours and everyone else's!
@@tusharg8452 Why was that? lol
*Johnny:* "Bodhi, this is your f*cking wake up call man... I am an F.B.I. Agent!"
*Bodhi:* "Yeah I know man, ain't it wild?"
My favorite line!
Completely captures the mindset of Bhodi and where hes ready to go moving forward. Utah was just another amp in the adrenaline soaked stakes. He died fittingly. The hunger was too much. Bhodi was tired.
@@spaceman1848 option B: lazy writing + viewers desperate to find deeper meaning doing mental gymnastics to make the character and his dialogue not silly
@@captainadventures who hurt you man?
Dude it's Eff bee eye👍
At least in The Fast and the Furious, Brian was particularly targeting Toretto due to his position in the street racing scene. The idea was even if he wasn't involved, he'd interact with whoever was involved. He didn't just meet Mia randomly
Honestly it's a amazing that I've watched like 20 of these In a row and am still entertained and amused by them.. in many cases these pitch meeting clips are more entertaining than the movies themselves.. good job sir.
Throwing dogs at people is TIGHT!!!! 😂
Using the word Tight randomely Is TIGHT
If you ever need dogs thrown, my company does it! Also? We're hiring!
John wick would like a word with y’all lol
Sure throwing a dog at someone is all fun and games until a Karen does it
The opposite of the Crazy Cat Lady from The Simpsons?
"Oh let me get off of that bad boy" 😂😂
Also, the FBI has no jurisdiction in Australia at alll...
valla con dios
But the government of the USA thinks it owns the whole world, so... not a problem.
True, but it was a joint arrest, the Australian authorities were there to make the criminal arrest, Utah was just bringing him in! The Australian cops asked Utah why he let Brodie go, Utah said he didn’t, and the Aussie cops said we’ll get him when he comes in, then Utah replies as he’s walking away, “he’s not coming back”!
@@PaulNewfield-PasadenaCAU-wb4xg
Except that "joint arrest" in other countries isn't a thing.
@@elbruces It isn’t? You mean that Hobbs, in Fast & Furious wouldn’t be able to go down to Brazil to arrest Dom & his crew?
This was, as always, hilarious. I saw Point Break when I was a kid and even then knew it made little or no sense at all. Vindicated!!!! :)
Ryan, do “The Dark Crystal!” Its old, crazy, and there’s an almost endless amount of absolutely insane things you can talk about in it!
Yes I knew that in my life
I'm all in favor of that one; there's so much about it that didn't make sense to me and yet it sticks in my brain.
I'd also love to see you guys tackle some other fantasy classics: Willow, Krull, Labyrinth, The Last Unicorn, The Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, Spirited Away... maybe Matilda, The Witches, Stardust?
Isn't there a recent sequel to Dark Crystal?
@@davidm5707 sequel comic book. Prequel TV show, books and comics.

Johnny Utah: "It must be impossible to surf a fifty year storm."
Bodie: "Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Giant Wave: HAHA!
@@ranwolf7650 Giant wave: "I'm gonna have to ask you to get ALLLLL the way off my back"
Keanu: "Well let me get offa that thang!!!"
Surfing a fifty year storm is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Surviving it is another problem altogether.
Movie logic: Stalking is always romantic as long as the stalker is handsome lol.
Moulin Rouge has a pitch meeting in the movie, set to music, with frenetic editing, and we all know that frenetically edited musical pitch meetings are tight!
3:40 Doctor Cox! :O
Cox is tight! Oo-err missus!
Johnny Utah really deserved an epic Newbie rant if I'm being honest.
The Todd approves of his name
Crazy part is he was only 31 when they shot the movie. He's calling Keanu "son" or "young" even though they're pretty close in age. John just has one of those "stern middle aged man" faces. :P
johnny is as useless as the wall he's leaning on which is being useful by giving him a wall to lean on
It's pretty weird to realize that we are totally cool with a character being creepy\stalkerish\manipulative if he is the young and attractive main character.
If the guy doing the creeping is a nerd it's portrayed as cute or funny, because (apparently) nerds are considered harmless by Hollywood execs.
If it's a woman doing it she's usually portrayed as a mental patient or a psycho (Single White Female, Fatal Attraction, etc.)
Pop Culture Detective made an entire video about this topic called 'stalking for love'.
It's not far off from reality. Attractive people can get away with a lot of crap before the opposite sex is like, "No, that's creepy."
Every harem anime ever!
Hence the success enjoyed by charismatic, good looking psychopaths.
It depends on how ugly the guy is eva.
Dear Pitch Meeting twins,
I watched Point Break last week with my two best buddies and then you released this a few days later, it made us very happy, especially as you mentioned a lot of the same things we did.
We watched Road House (1989) this week, so, you know, feel free to do that next. :) You might have trouble though, as it's a complex, logical film so not much to work with.
Keep up the good work. Thanks. :)
They look nothing alike
Would love to see a pitch meeting about snowpiercer. Just saw that, and...just, wow.
Great work as always
I’m just a tad bit disappointed he didn’t say “so Johnny gets attacked by this extremely violent singer of a band that’s named after a spicy food”
but that would have given it away, given it away, given it away now
"Is it Flea?"
"It is not Flea, sir"
"Well okay then!!"
I THOUGHT THAT WAS ANTHONY!
@@emilys1418 Its Jackson Browne

Please make a pitch meeting for the 2007 movie “Shoot ‘Em Up”
a movie where even carrots are deadly weapons
I think you can have a lot of fun with that one
it's a good movie but i would watch that pitch meeting
Yeah but Shoot 'em Up was a parody of action movies. It's wacky on purpose.
Point Break is the most underrated action movie of all time. It changed the action genre that we are still seeing the effects of today.
7:25 YOU DID IT!!!! I commented months ago that you should do Point Break/Fast and Furious being the same movie. Glad you got that in there.
How about a Pitch Meeting for another Keanu Reeves action movie, Speed
And the Speed sequel! xD They're ripe for Meetings!
@@PureSniperWolf There's a sequel?
@@tuxedocatii6421 Yeah, but I've actually never seen it. It's set on a boat, but Keanu Reeves isn't in it, since he disliked the script. Sandra Bullock is the lead
@@Omar-wq9dz Huh. Cool, thanks!
@@PureSniperWolf Yeah. But the first film IS good. Never saw the sequel though.
Point Break is my all time Favourite Movie, grew up watching it, lost count how many times I've seen it!
Haha also I'd never made that connection with the Fast and Furious franchise... makes sense now why I like those movies so much lol much
Really? When I saw The Fast and the Furious in the cinema, I was like, "holy crap, its just Point Break but with cars".
Same here. It took me a couple of years, but yeah, they are basically the same exact movie. Even to the point of letting the guy go at the end.
Me too. Favorite of all time.
Uh, it's not that they've tried to keep it a secret, it's quite explicitly a remake.
So sad the modern remake was %=×&... Euro-Trash! 🤦♂️
Looking at the views of every other video it’s pretty clear everyone is here just for the pitch meetings lol. Great work Ryan, this deserves its own channel.
The name “Johnny Utah” isn’t so different from “Duncan Idaho” from Dune. In fact it’s a little less ridiculous.
Every movie ever:
"Can you tell me the odds of that?"
"No."
"Okay."
Han Solo: Never tell me the odds
Hero: I'd saaay...probably doable.
Can you do a pitch meeting for Elf, The Polar Express and A Christmas Story?

Anyone else notice that “wow wow wow wow” had one extra wow?
Wow
Gonna have to ask you to get aaalll the way off his back about the wows.
He is making a new catch phrase to sell extra t-shirts.
I requested this a couple of days before. thanks i have it now.
The moment when the pitch guy says... why did they knock on the door before the raid instead of going in with the element of surprise! And my response is... huh, why did they do that
This movie and him finding Bodhi and Tyler on his first day was the biggest barely an inconvenience in the history of barely an inconveniences

@@hendrikscheepers4144 Because...
I love it, you should do a Superman 3 pitch meeting sometime that’d be fun!
Bro! I love that you put together that fast and the furious was basically point break with cars. Primer look at me sideways when I say this because they have no idea what point break is. 😆
Ah so this is the movie Hot Fuzz was referencing!
Have you ever fired your guns in the air and gone "aaaah"
So hilarious. Perfect to have dead parents. And a random skydiving scene.
I love the videos and the catchphrases! However, I'd be happy if you dropped the wowwowowowow.
Bit of a late comment for this skit, but after watching this, I've been sucked into a 90's movie rabbit hole, and I think I found a movie you would have a blast with, and am surprised you haven't done it yet. Face-Off with Travolta and Cage. I kinda hate to admit that I still enjoy this movie, but the entire time all I was laughing just imagining what you would do with it.
“No hard feelings, Point Break. You got a mean swing.”
Finally, I found a reference to The Avengers/Thor: Ragnarok! I should not have had to dig this deep.
@@JobiWan144 avengers
I understood that reference
1:46 "Actually no it's not creepy cause he's the main character and also good looking"
Based.
Please do a Lost pitch meeting! 🙏🏻
"you tell me" - "no!"
I'd love to see a pitch meeting for "Earth Girls are Easy". One of the ultimate 1980's movies!
I'd love to see a pitch meeting on How To Train Your Dragon
He's mentioned in an interview somewhere that there are some movies where they establish the rules and then it's all tight storytelling, and there's no outrageous decisions he can mock in a Pitch Meeting. He explicitly cited How to Train Your Dragon as one of them
Pitch Meetings have become so sharp (or tight) that you can barely enjoy the very early episodes. This is a compliment. It began as one guy talking to himself... And now Writer and Producer have evolved to have very distinct personalities. They're both maniacs, for certain, but now they each have very nuanced tics. Just top-tier stuff, guy(s).
Love these pitch meetings. I just watched the Breakfast Club and my only thought was, I hope there is a pitch meeting for this......
You should a Pitch Meeting for the Patrick Swayze film, Ghost
Demi Moore with a boyish haircut is TIGHT
YES!!!!
Bank robbing surfers, doesn't makes sense cos banks are offshore 😜. It's a sea's joke, for those who don't get it.
Offshore banking
They could rob a sandbank ...
That's exactly why it does make sense.
Thanks kanye, very cool.
@catherine fuches Now all you need is... a pitch meeting.
so happy one of my favorite movies lead to one of the best pitch meetings
I was waiting for a joke/reference to the Fast & the Furious movies and Ryan you did not disappoint. LOL. You're the best!
"okay, but like, why"
new catchphrase
Producer: "No sequels or franchising or anything like that?"
Me: "Well, there's the remake..."
yeah i definitely thought the closing joke was gonna be at the expense of the remake. A lot of people hate on it but actually I think it was a nice take
The key word was franchise, then I knew it would be about F&F.
I'm so glad you did one for this movie, seriously though Keanu only consistently makes things worse for everyone and he's a horrible FBI agent lmao
YOU'RE BACK! Great to see you again, Ryan. Great vid. Still think Divergent would be a great pick to do!
Oh, wow. I forgot how beautiful Keanu was when he was younger. I mean, he's still gorgeous, but... dayumn.
