Carly has admitted that she has a terrible memory when it comes to movies. So of course when she does remember something correctly,her sister doesn't believe her.
I'm still amazed to this day no one has ever picked up on the odd casting of Gary Busy playing a Greek. Ha ha. But yeah, he sold me with his love of processed food. "Utah, get me two!!" 🌭🌭✌
Patrick was my childhood hero, and Keanu is one of my fave guys out there. The two together on their prime beauty, in an awesome action movie jumping planes, alongside the cool cat Gary Busey, in the early 90s. I cant ask for more! Patrick was like Matthew McConaughey. He could dance, fight, do romance, drama, comedy, all of it. He got that good vibe and charm in everything he did, which is the same for Keanu. Perfect duo! RIP ma guy! Gone like the wind, and too soon! RIP Tom Sizemore too.
The 80s and early 90s were the best! Cheesy action movies understood exactly what they were and didn't pretend to be anything more serious. Young Bruce Willis, young Keanu, young Tom Hanks, young Kevin Costner, prime Arnold Swarzenegger, peak Patrick Swayze, prime Meg Ryan, pre-implosion Sharon Stone, pre-insane Tom Cruise, peak John Hughes as a director, James Cameron when he actually made more than one movie every decade. Just an awesome era.
Swayze has always played the good guy in movies. I remember when this came out and they asked him, why he wanted to play a villain, and his response was, he needed to dirty his white hat a bit. Loved this movie and loved your reaction. You gained a new subscriber, you are definitely fun to watch.
That's a cool thing to hear about Patrick Swayze. He was the only reason I watched all of To Wong Fu... Julie Newmar. He was an incredible actor who did not allow himself to limit his acting experience by channeling his roles. I'm sure many people miss him and his convincing acting style. Best to you-
Patrick Swayze was a terrific actor. But like most actors he did his fair share of bad movies. Don't forget that he had a struggle with alcohol addiction as well.
Yes, the guy who attacks Johnny at the showers (“that would be a waste of time”) is played by Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The other guy (“We’re just gonna f-- you up”) was played by Vincent Klyn, who had starred as Fender Tremolo in Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme a year or two earlier. Great movie, and great reaction!
I too especially love that scene and the above mentioned lines, and also the fun Bodhi is making of Warchilds (in the movie) real name "Lufton Pittman" . However each scene in the movie more or less has some special things when you study and analyze them.
Big time facts 💯 It's still one of the all time greats. Keanu gets a lot of negative blowback because people think he acts this way all the time but it couldn't be further from the truth. And both him and Swayze nailed their roles. It's beyond awesome.
Gary Busey is kinda considered a major odd-ball these days, but if you want to see him at his best, you guys should watch him in The Buddy Holly Story. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Buddy Holly.
5 years before Point Break, Reeves and Swayze were both in a movie called Youngblood. One of the best hockey movies ever made. The main characters were Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze. Keanu had a smaller role as a French Canadian goalie
Definitely a great movie. The song "She's Like the Wind" that Swayze co-wrote and was a huge hit in Dirty Dancing was written in 84 and was rejected for Grandview USA and he also submitted it for Youngbloods, but I guess that worked out alright for Dirty Dancing, heh.
I was a kid when this movie came out. Having grown up in Southern California in the LA beach communities, this movie always hits home of how beach life felt back then, the neon colors, the long hair, the “duuude” lingo was all real. It’s also cool to see how life was in the early 90s, before cell phones and internet took over a handful of years later.
Johnny wouldn't have been able to go undercover now. The internet would make it far too easy to find out what happened after his football and law school. Somebody somewhere would have posted about their nephew or whatever joining the FBI.
As an old school surfer back in the 90's in Florida, this movie was playing at almost every surfing beach party i was at. Awesome movie, awesome reaction, and as always Popcorn In Bed is awesome. SURF'S UP !!! 😎
Point Break always hits close to home for me. Growing up I surfed those same beaches, and this movie nails those 80s/90s LA beach vibes perfectly. It really was like that at areas like Rincon, County Line, and Leo Carillo/Malibu. Btw, Gary Busey was one of the OG surfer actors in LA just before these times. Check him and Jan-Michael Vincent out in Big Wednesday when you get the chance!
They left the ending to this ambiguous, and after seeing this in the theater i was wishing for a sequel. Such a fun movie, and Swayze and Reeves had incredible on screen chemistry. RIP Patrick.
All those tons of water of the massive wave squeezed Bohdi's body to death by breaking neck, his rib cage, and his spine. Fact: a 10 feet tall wave weighs 410 tons = 840,000 pounds = 168 Ford F-150 pickup trucks (!)
@@jrobertlysaght IMO The Fast & the furious has way more in common with "No Mans Land" with Charlie Sheen - *very* similar story to the first ones, but more serious(and not terrible, like F&F), and focusing on Porsches.
@@hughjorg4008 It's not as simple as that, people have survived falls on massive waves. eg: Niccolo Porcella. Many or most of the worst injuries seem to be when they're slammed into coral underwater. Albeit nobody thought the ending was ambiguous when the movie came out.
YES!!! One of my favorite Keanu Reeves movies! I saw this on TV when I was 4-5 years old. RIP, Patrick Swayze, he's surfing with God now. Before Keanu Reeves was cast as Johnny Utah, Tom Cruise, Matthew Broderick, Charlie Sheen, and Johnny Depp were considered for the character. Val Kilmer wad considered for the role of Bohdi before Patrick Swayze was cast. Ridley Scott was considered to direct the film, but dropped out in order to direct THELMA AND LOUISE. Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron's wife at the time, was hired after producers were impressed by her action movie Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis. There is a remake of the movie that was released in 2015, but it was not well received by Critics or fans of the original.
To add to your trivia: Patrick Swayze learned how to surf and skydive to do his own stunts for this movie because he wanted people to see his face in the stunts.
This is the in my all time top 10. I know it very well and watched it so many times. Amazing movie. Johnny knows Bodhi is not doing it because he's a bad person, so he acknowledged it by letting him go as a sign of respect. It was man against society and Johnny throws the badge away.
I watched this movie when I was an employee at a movie theater. I was 16 years old. It made me want to jump out of a plane. I finally did when I was 32. It’s one of my favorite movies!
This movie was a staple of my childhood! One of my funniest memories (in retrospective) is my older sister awkwardly trying to explain why Keanu's character couldn't shoot Swayze 😂
Keanu is probably the most humanitarian celebrity to exist. He's such a nice guy. He once met a family at an airport that was stranded because their connecting flight had been cancelled, so he rented a car and drove them home.
One of the greatest movies of all time!!! Imagine being 11 years old and this movie was just coming out in theaters. I was 11 when it came out. Great Times. A lot of good actors in this movie including Anthony from the RHCP. Fun Fact: The beach at the end wasn’t really Australia it was the state of Oregon.
Strangely, the guy that says "its death on a stick out there" is actually an aussie actor but then the cops on the beach are clearly american actors with terrible aussie accents hahaha. Bizarre...
I love this movie too. Mostly I love the action and entertainment in this film. The cast of actors also great in this movie. You don't see enough truly thrilling movies like this anymore.
That was funny when you guys said Swayze looked like Hemsworth, it made me wonder if you guys rememberd that Tony Stark's nick name for Thor was Point Break for the same reason.
Patrick Swayze in this was so utterly impressive to me as a kid. Just so damn cool! I wanted to be him so bad. But we were also in a landlocked region, so all I could do was wear the gnarliest surf gear I could find at the mall. Jams shorts. OP shirts. I was fly!😂
I love this movie, , so glad you watched it. It's a classic and the director Kathryn Bigelow went on to win an Oscar for The Hurt Locker. She's an incredible director who does action and tension very well. Keanu and Patrick are just amazing here.
Fun Fact: Tone, one of the surfers that attacks Johnny when he is rinsing off at the beach shower was played by the front man for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis
Not only is this movie tons of fun, it's also great time capsule. This was part an era of Hollywood where many young stars were doing some high octane, action films. Movies like Days of Thunder, Broken Arrow with Christian Slater and John Travolta. The Chase and Terminal Velocity, with Charlie Cheen. Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Give any of these a go...
@@Mike-mj8oj Why? It seems like there are A LOT of people (especially men) doing considerable harm to people (especially children of late) and they all claim to be followers of the religion you follow. Actions speak louder than religious texts. It also speaks volumes when people express a desire for others to join their religion (or suggest life has no purpose or the person’s actions have no value without a specific religion) but delete their comment when challenged with facts. Here’s a hint: you do not need to promote YOUR religion every chance you get. Just live your life & let others live theirs. If they want to find religion, it’s not that hard.
Patrick Swayze‘s character and Keanu Reeves is our kindred spirits, they are soulmates. Their bond is stronger than Kiana‘s bond with any other character in the film, no one understands him better than Swayze. The reason why Kiana lets him go is not only because he loves him, but also because he shares in his love for the wave, for life. Swayze teaches Keanu the important lesson that life should not be structured, it should not be robotic and predictable, life should be lived to the furthest rather than survived. At no point in the film does Swayze go to far, he only kills one person in the whole film and it’s out of self-defense. Everyone else who gets killed is killed by someone else, someone who doesn’t share in Swayze‘s loathing for violence. It is sad that Kiana‘s partner died, but it was not Swayze‘s fault. It’s tragic, but that’s why Keanu doesn’t want revenge, and doesn’t hate him for it, because if it was Swayze who showed up behind him, he would not of shot. It’s a beautiful film that chooses to explore humanity in such a beautiful way, and really look at these two characters and focus on their bond, rather than giving us a typical action plot. The fact that instead of having some tent scene where they try to kill him on the plane, instead Swayze tries to drive home to lesson, that this is what matters, living on the edge, try new things, pushing ourselves beyond our breaking point, he takes him skydiving to help him remember the life he has for surfing. He could’ve killed him, they could’ve beat him up and threatened him, but instead he tries to help him see his point of you. And at the end of the film, Keanu does, that’s why he quits.
Only, you don't arm up to rob banks unless you are ready to kill. Furthermore, one can easily debate that Bodhi has a psychological change in mindset when he orders the vault to get hit because the whole point to the robberies being quick is to offset any possibility of a police shootout whilst ensuring that they can keep the crime spree alive. He also draws on the undercover cop first knowing his magnum would do the killing first.
@@joepermenter7228 Absolutely right. Bodhi is still a sociopath at the end of the day because there's no way to be a "moral" criminal. He was deluding himself all the way through until the very end when he blamed "bad luck" for all of the deaths that were the direct result of his criminality.
@@williamjpellas0314 I'm not entirely saying that his moral crusade is completely misplaced, I just know there is two sides to every coin and when the situation came to a boil he had no obvious escape route and righteous indignation or not he was in fact still on a crime spree armed for the inevitable.
@@joepermenter7228 "....righteous indignation or not he was in fact still on a crime spree armed for the inevitable". Yes. For all of his blather, he was still a criminal at the root of it all.
Strange that you think Patrick and keanu are from different eras. They were actually in another movie together 5 years earlier in 86 called Youngblood. Set and filmed in Canada. It’s a good movie about a young ice hockey player played by Rob Lowe . it would actually be an interesting movie for the two of you to react to seeing as your Canadian and seem to enjoy sports movies. Keanu is barely in it but Patrick has a big enough part.
The boys are great. I love them. But let's shout out the ladies too. Kathyrn Bigelow made a gorgeous, really fun movie. I was always a fan and so happy for her when she later won her Best Director Oscar for The Hurt Locker. And for a few years there, my girl Lori Petty was having the most fun in the movies. Surfing with the cool guys, playing baseball with the greatest girls, freeing killer whales, being Tank Girl. She was such a blast to watch. Glad you guys liked it, and so glad Carly was on board for it.
⚠️ Don't miss GARY BUSEY in THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY. All the actors played the instruments and sang in the movie. Gary Buesy was Nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Roll for this movie. He had to lose 47 lbs for the movie roll because Buddy was a very thin young man. An Amazing proformace. Don't miss it. Enjoy 😉
One of the best chase scenes filmed. Some of this movie went right over peoples heads when it came out which is weird because its not an overly complex movie. Also lead singer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers Anthony Kiedis plays "Tone" one of the surfers that gang up on Johnny the "That would be a waste of time." line is hilarious because thats the peak of his acting range. Also his name being Tone is neat because he's a musician.
For another 80’s classic react to “ROMANCING THE STONE” starring Michael Douglas, Danny Devito & Kathleen Turner. Action, Adventure, comedy & Romance in this one!
One of my favorite movies ever. Both Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze were great in this one. I saw this when it originally came out in theaters(I was 20 years old). I took a hard pass on watching the remake just because it would not be the same without Keanu and Swayze. I also love the films from this director, Kathryn Bigelow., ever since I saw her first film, Near Dark, a vampire movie. Makes me want to watch this movie right now.
Haven't seen if anyone else mentioned this yet, but "the girl" (surf shop owner) is Lori Petty. She played Kit in "A League Of Their Own" as Gena Davis's sister and also stars in the post apocalyptic film "Tank Girl." She's also been in "Cadillac Man" among other films.
Keanu Reeves is older than one would think. He was great in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in 1989, which I think was the same year as Dirty Dancing.
There are several types of breaks in surfing including *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.
Ah glad y’all are visiting this lovely gem. When Keanu was still becoming John Wick and his first action film really. Swayze is great in this as well. I also recommend Road House from 1989 with Patrick. A very self aware action film:) Kathleen Bigelow’s direction of Point Break is amazing:)
This is Gary Busey's best acting performance in my opinion. Before his motorcycle accident a couple years prior to this movie, he was supposed to have been the next rising star. So it is fitting to have him in this movie with Keanu Reeves, also rising start at the time.
I love this movie!!! I always thought the bank robbing was part of a rush they got, plus it funded their surfing. I loved the sky diving, as well. And, the end, with long-haired Keanu! He just had to finish the job, let Bodhi know he found him and be done with all the rules. That last part where the music jumps in and he throws his badge into the ocean, love it!
Great movie! I'm 52 now but I started surfing at age 5. Watching this and seeing those big waves excite me about the ocean. I've been dragged many times and nearly drowned, it freaks you out for a bit but you can't resist big waves once you're hooked. Great reaction, I can't believe someone thought you were mother and daughter..lol. It's obvious you're both sisters
Keanu doing his Surfer Voice in this movie was pretty much the last time Keanu brought back out His famous Iconic Character Ted Logan's way of talking from Bill & Ted...well at least until doing the recent 3rd Bill & Ted movie
SO GLAD YOU WACHED THIS!!! ❤this is my most favourite film ever, seriously influenced my life. 🙂 now remember the story line because if you ever watch fast and furious, you know where they got the story from.
Amazing movie in so many ways! One of the classics. Story, characters and action just CLICKS! The running chase scene is one of the coolest scenes I’ve ever seen. Your reactions approves this as a classic. Thank you!
Personally I don't think the age matters much, there's a bunch of excellent movies that are considerably older. Many of the best action movies are also from the 80s & 90s. Good movies tend to stay good movies, regardless of age. Naturally some seem cheesy now, but they were also pretty cheesy(often intentionally) when they came out, much like many new movies aren't going to be looked back on fondly. For the oldest movie(so far) I personally found very good, I'd recommend the dark comedy "Kind hearts and coronets" from 1949.
@@DoubleMonoLR It depends on the movie. In that genre, they tend to age especially poorly. I watched the first couple Lethal Weapon films recently and they haven't held up nearly as well. I'm not just referring to content, but also the filmmaking techniques at play. Bigelow's shot composition and direction of action remains relevant and kinetic in a way few action films of that year would.
@@monovision566 This is how I feel about many of William Friedkin's and Peter Bogdanovich's films. Many of them feel like they were made today which is insane and a testament to their vision and talent.
14:03 - Keanu Reeves' "Surfer voice" is basically his "Ted" voice from "Bill And Ted's" Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey. Two must watch comedy movies, if you haven't already. 😆
11:23 Fun fact: Carly mentions Chris Hemswoth when she sees Bodhi. In Avengers 1, Tony Stark taps Thor in the arm and says “you have a mean swing there, Point Break”.
I recommend the similarly named 1997 film "Grosse Pointe Blank" starring John Cusack. You can see Lori Petty star in "Tank Girl" from 1995. It also has Naomi Watts, Ice-T and Malcolm McDowell.
Another good Patrick Swayze movie to watch is "Road House". I also Know Lori Petty, who played "Tyler" from another movie called "A League of Their Own." I would like to suggest that you both watch both of these movies.
This movie is all about feeling conflicted, happy, excited and sad. It has wild west robber vibes. This plot was so successful, it was used again for the movie "Fast and the Furious". Glad you liked it.
*Another great Swayze movie is "Youngblood" with Rob Lowe from '86 *Keanu is also in this movie . Good storyline centering around ice hockey and of course a nice romance story
Regarding your comments about Patrick Swayze's pointed toes and grace while sky diving (good eye!) he actually studied ballet. My sister is a professional ballet dancer and she had the good fortune to meet him once when he came to the ballet company she danced for. She said he was extremely friendly and had a very kind soul.
You should really explore more of Kathryn Bigelow's films...... This was early on and really great, as was Near Dark, but from Strange Days onward she was doing exceptional work. Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt locker being her two most famous films.
I've been watching your channel for awhile. I don't know why but I guess I feel connected to folks reacting to stuff I saw and made a big impact on me a long time ago. At any rate I can tell this movie didn't have the impact on you that it did on me when I first saw it on VHS at my friends house in the early 90s when I was still in high school lol. The philosophy of Bodi and just the way he carried himself really drew me in. As a Christian it made me think if this guy can be so charismatic about his beliefs then I should step to the plate and turn my faith into action. I graduated and got the opportunity to go to Europe and spread the gospel and it was a life changing experience for me getting to see Europe and live out my faith. Then again, I don't really go to church much these days so who knows. Life's a trip..
I've always liked this action thriller, my VHS tape wore out watching it so much. RHCP fans might notice the guy who says, that would be a waste of time and shoots his foot is Anthony Kiedis the lead singer of the band.
I've been skydiving for 40 years and this is still the best jump scene I know of even though it's totally unrealistic mainly because you can't hear anything because there's so much wind
Unrealistic AF! 188 jumps here, and, yeah, the scene is cool, but laughable! Gear up on the climb to altitude, five minutes of freefall, making it to the formation on his very first jump ever, talking to each other in freefall, pulling at 1000 feet, and having to do a water landing without any training?! 😂😂😂😂 Blue skies!
Swayze did all the skydiving scenes himself. I read somewhere that he did 55 jumps in total just for the movie. Of course it's gonna be unrealistic timewise.
@@skyscribe Out of curiosity, how much time do you typically have in free fall before you have to pull your parachute? Also, I'm kinda curious as to how high the plane usually takes you up before you jump out.
One of my favorites, definitely the best movie from 1991 and my top ten favorites of all. Didn't inspire me much to surf but definitely jumping from a plane lol. The way bodhi's spirit inspired utah's is understandable, this movie had the unique way of making you root for the good guy and bad guy cause the bad guy wasn't really bad, just a flawed human trying to live life to the fullest. Great soundtrack, great scenery, and great acting.
I think Utah was just content in knowing that Bodhi knew that he was caught, that someone had finally beaten him, but at the same time, Utah felt like he owed it to Bodhi to let him die in those waves since he was the one that changed his perspective on life. Bodhi might've gotten lost along the way, but the wisdom he passed on to Utah was real, hence why when Bodhi asked if he was still surfing, Utah answered "Everyday" because his entire life was on a new path now. It's also why he tossed his badge into the surf, because he stopped being a Federal Agent the moment his partner got killed. He just needed to finish the job he and his partner started before he could truly be "finished." My head canon is that he and Tyler ended up running some surf shop together.
Another great 1991 movie. I didn’t get to watch this in the movie theaters but I did rent it when it came out on video. 1991 was a fantastic year for both music and movies.
The 80s and early 90s were the best! Cheesy action movies understood exactly what they were and didn't pretend to be anything more serious. Young Bruce Willis, young Keanu, young Tom Hanks, young Kevin Costner, prime Arnold Swarzenegger, peak Patrick Swayze, prime Meg Ryan, pre-implosion Sharon Stone, pre-insane Tom Cruise, peak John Hughes as a director, James Cameron when he actually made more than one movie every decade. Just an awesome era.
It doesn't make us want to go surfing or jumping out of an airplane but it does hit you in the feels when somebody can look past your insecurities and give you the out you need you want
I grew up watching this movie 1000x as a kid. It is superior story telling and film making, even though it is a genre film. There are so many cues from this movie ripped off to this day in almost every single action and bank robbery film. It was also the first film to use a stedi-cam for a chase sequence. James Cameron produced, and the first woman to ever win an Oscar for directing was the director, Kathryn Bigelow.
This movie is an intense emotional roller coaster. I really enjoyed your reactions as usual Cassie and Carly. The Ocean is terrifying. So I'm not likely to try surfing. Definitely have mix emotions about the ending. Keanu and Patrick Swayze did an awesome job. I'm still disappointed Bodhi turned out to be a bad guy. Fun fact: Keanu drives a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 in this movie and a 69 Mustang Mach 1 in John Wick.
I really like this movie, I review it every year!!! By the way James Cameron is the producer of the film and his ex-wife is the Director! They once again worked together on the film "Strange Days" (1995).
I caught this on VHS in the early 90s in high school. I never heard of it but I think my friends were recommending it. Was blown away by the foot chase scene and the parachute jumps. I guess the surfing didn't make quite the same impact, LOL.
Two of the Presidents, Nathaniel and Grommet aren't actors; they're professional surfers. I think they did an amazing job!! The final scene was actually filmed on the Oregon coast. 👍🏽
Bodhi went for the *vault* because that was their last bank robbery. The FBI had their names, and they can't keep robbing banks and surfing waves in America. Bodhi need enough money for the gang to live in Mexico or elsewhere for the rest of their lives.
Seriously??? How can you post these LIES????? Do your research before posting. UA-cam family... don't believe anything seanbowen7424 posts!!!!! He doesn't know what the hell he is talking about!!!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!
Yes, you can do that. Buy a parachute, lease an aircraft, jump. Once Terminal Velocity, the point where the drag of the jumper and equipment match the pull of gravity, is reached, the jumper is falling one thousand feet every five seconds...at around one hundred and twenty miles an hour.
Great choice!!! aaahhh the movie with a starting actor (keanu) that became a legend, working together with and seasoned actor (RIP, dear Patrick) that was already a legend ... in a movie that still was superior then the remake they made later on (different actors)
The Canadian Surfing Queens in Utah do it again. I love you're rewrite and letting the partner live too. Thanks you for the witty and fun commentary.. You were so right about the free climb rocck climbers - that is the most powerful use of Will and Determination I've ever seen.
I would not agree its underrated. It is on most professional reviewers top 100 and most average citizen's top 20 action films. Unlike most popular action movies of that time, it has aged like wine instead of milk.
30:08 Yes,that's possible. Even formations with well over one hundred skydivers have been performed. 30:13 The fall from 13,000 feet up to 1,000 ft. takes about one minute. Usually skydiving fall speed is nearly 120 nautical mph.
This is one of my favorite Keanu Reeves movies by far. A couple little fun facts about this movie, the Australia seeing was actually filmed on the coast of Oregon, and The Fast and the Furious franchise more specifically the first one was actually supposed to be a remake of this movie.
38:50 This entire sequence that is set at Bell’s Beach in Australia (which is a real beach about 53 miles southwest of Melbourne) is actually thousands of miles away from Australia. It was filmed at Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, located in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
Your sister is right, Cassie. Gary Busey WAS in Rookie of the Year where the kid broke his arm and pitched for the Cubs.
Carly has admitted that she has a terrible memory when it comes to movies. So of course when she does remember something correctly,her sister doesn't believe her.
The sisters would love to watch Gary Busey in *PREDATOR 2* . 😂 Another crazy performance from the Busey.

Patrick was my childhood hero, and Keanu is one of my fave guys out there. The two together on their prime beauty, in an awesome action movie jumping planes, alongside the cool cat Gary Busey, in the early 90s. I cant ask for more!
Patrick was like Matthew McConaughey. He could dance, fight, do romance, drama, comedy, all of it. He got that good vibe and charm in everything he did, which is the same for Keanu. Perfect duo!

He was the only reason I watched all of To Wong Fu... Julie Newmar.
He was an incredible actor who did not allow himself to limit his acting experience by channeling his roles.
I'm sure many people miss him and his convincing acting style.
Best to you-
Not always. In Donnie Darko he most certainly wasn't a good guy.
@@russellward4624 Well at the time of this movie in 1991 was when he said these comments. Donnie Darko came out in 2001.
Patrick Swayze was a terrific actor. But like most actors he did his fair share of bad movies. Don't forget that he had a struggle with alcohol addiction as well.
He is not the good guy in Dirty Dancing. This movie is appalling from a moral perspective.
Yes, the guy who attacks Johnny at the showers (“that would be a waste of time”) is played by Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The other guy (“We’re just gonna f-- you up”) was played by Vincent Klyn, who had starred as Fender Tremolo in Cyborg with Jean Claude Van Damme a year or two earlier.
Great movie, and great reaction!
Lmaoooo I would LOVE to see her react to Cyborg.. she'd never make it lol 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I too especially love that scene and the above mentioned lines, and also the fun Bodhi is making of Warchilds (in the movie) real name "Lufton Pittman" . However each scene in the movie more or less has some special things when you study and analyze them.
I thought Flea, also from Red Hot Chili Peppers, was also a part of that crew as well.
Back off warchild, seriously. Thank you
I remember watching Point Break when it first came out.. It was an awesome movie. The action still holds up after all these years.
It helps that it's basic action sequences; gunfights, brawls with some martial arts, a car/foot chase. No over the top special effects nonsense.
Big time facts 💯 It's still one of the all time greats. Keanu gets a lot of negative blowback because people think he acts this way all the time but it couldn't be further from the truth. And both him and Swayze nailed their roles. It's beyond awesome.
This movie is timeless. I loved it in 91 and I love it now.
Although the image is aged, it looks like VHS, it's time for a good remastering.
I have always loved this movie. This movie and Speed (1994) helped propel Keanu Reeves into the action movie genre.
Utah get me 2
Gary Busey is kinda considered a major odd-ball these days, but if you want to see him at his best, you guys should watch him in The Buddy Holly Story. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Buddy Holly.
He had a severe brain injury from a motorcycle accident
@@laurenherda2415 Yes, I know. That doesn't mean I'm not a big fan of his work. I like odd-balls!
@dougbaugh same here I adore him to survive something that traumatic too, he always puts a smile on my face
I think Busey’s motorcycle accident in 1988 permanently scrambled his brains.
"HOW IM DOING GAREY BUSEY?"
5 years before Point Break, Reeves and Swayze were both in a movie called Youngblood. One of the best hockey movies ever made. The main characters were Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze. Keanu had a smaller role as a French Canadian goalie
Yes. Filmed in Toronto but taking place in my hometown of Hamilton. :)
Definitely a great movie. The song "She's Like the Wind" that Swayze co-wrote and was a huge hit in Dirty Dancing was written in 84 and was rejected for Grandview USA and he also submitted it for Youngbloods, but I guess that worked out alright for Dirty Dancing, heh.
Oh I haven't seen that movie in ages. So long ago in fact that I didn't even remember them both being part of it O.o
@@im3phirebird81 That's understandable considering Keanu's role was very small
They actually believed keanu was a professional hockey player and not an actor.
I was a kid when this movie came out. Having grown up in Southern California in the LA beach communities, this movie always hits home of how beach life felt back then, the neon colors, the long hair, the “duuude” lingo was all real. It’s also cool to see how life was in the early 90s, before cell phones and internet took over a handful of years later.
Johnny wouldn't have been able to go undercover now. The internet would make it far too easy to find out what happened after his football and law school. Somebody somewhere would have posted about their nephew or whatever joining the FBI.
Yep. Less than six years later the internet came along in 1997 and that was the beginning of the end of America.
Isn't surfing culture still there? Just uploaded to TikTok?
@@9HighFlyer9 He'd have his own wikipedia page now.
@@nothingelse1520 it is, but the surf scene back then was iconic
As an old school surfer back in the 90's in Florida, this movie was playing at almost every surfing beach party i was at. Awesome movie, awesome reaction, and as always Popcorn In Bed is awesome. SURF'S UP !!! 😎
🤙
R.I.P The legend Patrick Swayze 🙏💫🌹
This is my fave character he ever played. Legendary.
@@thaistompwatch next of kin. Awesome movie and performance by swayze
Point Break always hits close to home for me. Growing up I surfed those same beaches, and this movie nails those 80s/90s LA beach vibes perfectly. It really was like that at areas like Rincon, County Line, and Leo Carillo/Malibu. Btw, Gary Busey was one of the OG surfer actors in LA just before these times. Check him and Jan-Michael Vincent out in Big Wednesday when you get the chance!
They left the ending to this ambiguous, and after seeing this in the theater i was wishing for a sequel. Such a fun movie, and Swayze and Reeves had incredible on screen chemistry.
RIP Patrick.
I never took it as ambiguous. Bodhi be dead.
Well, you kinda got sequels. I mean we're all the way up to Fast and Furious 10 now.
All those tons of water of the massive wave squeezed Bohdi's body to death by breaking neck, his rib cage, and his spine. Fact: a 10 feet tall wave weighs 410 tons = 840,000 pounds = 168 Ford F-150 pickup trucks (!)
@@jrobertlysaght IMO The Fast & the furious has way more in common with "No Mans Land" with Charlie Sheen - *very* similar story to the first ones, but more serious(and not terrible, like F&F), and focusing on Porsches.
@@hughjorg4008 It's not as simple as that, people have survived falls on massive waves. eg: Niccolo Porcella. Many or most of the worst injuries seem to be when they're slammed into coral underwater.
Albeit nobody thought the ending was ambiguous when the movie came out.
“Was there even an instructor?” just about killed me. 😂😂😂
Omg…boatie. 😂
I learned something by watching this. As it turns out Patricks Swayze's character wasn't named Bodhi. His actual name was Boaty McBoatface.
YES!!!
One of my favorite Keanu Reeves movies!
I saw this on TV when I was 4-5 years old.
RIP, Patrick Swayze, he's surfing with God now.
Before Keanu Reeves was cast as Johnny Utah, Tom Cruise, Matthew Broderick, Charlie Sheen, and Johnny Depp were considered for the character.
Val Kilmer wad considered for the role of Bohdi before Patrick Swayze was cast.
Ridley Scott was considered to direct the film, but dropped out in order to direct THELMA AND LOUISE.
Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron's wife at the time, was hired after producers were impressed by her action movie Blue Steel with Jamie Lee Curtis.
There is a remake of the movie that was released in 2015, but it was not well received by Critics or fans of the original.
*favorite
The original Fast and the Furious is also a "remake" of this movie (with street racing instead of surfing lol.)
To add to your trivia: Patrick Swayze learned how to surf and skydive to do his own stunts for this movie because he wanted people to see his face in the stunts.
Dang. Kilmer would’ve been an epic Bodhi. Not that Swayze wasn’t. Swayze def looked perfect. But, Kilmer is the more skilled actor, imo.
This is the in my all time top 10. I know it very well and watched it so many times. Amazing movie. Johnny knows Bodhi is not doing it because he's a bad person, so he acknowledged it by letting him go as a sign of respect. It was man against society and Johnny throws the badge away.
I watched this movie when I was an employee at a movie theater. I was 16 years old. It made me want to jump out of a plane. I finally did when I was 32. It’s one of my favorite movies!
This movie was a staple of my childhood! One of my funniest memories (in retrospective) is my older sister awkwardly trying to explain why Keanu's character couldn't shoot Swayze 😂
Keanu is probably the most humanitarian celebrity to exist. He's such a nice guy. He once met a family at an airport that was stranded because their connecting flight had been cancelled, so he rented a car and drove them home.
Keanu's niceness is as much of a meme as Chuck Norris' toughness these days.
@@DavidHands Yes but with Keanu, they're true.
Keanu subway video.
He's so nice he rented them a car and then drove them home?? 😂😂😂
@@ChrisReise Hey, Chuck's memes are true as well! lol
One of the greatest movies of all time!!! Imagine being 11 years old and this movie was just coming out in theaters. I was 11 when it came out. Great Times. A lot of good actors in this movie including Anthony from the RHCP. Fun Fact: The beach at the end wasn’t really Australia it was the state of Oregon.
It's a GREAT movie and a classic. But it's by no means one of the greatest movies.
Strangely, the guy that says "its death on a stick out there" is actually an aussie actor but then the cops on the beach are clearly american actors with terrible aussie accents hahaha. Bizarre...
@@HarryK-ld2ed That's your opinion other die hard fans strongly disagree with you.
I love this movie too. Mostly I love the action and entertainment in this film. The cast of actors also great in this movie. You don't see enough truly thrilling movies like this anymore.
That was funny when you guys said Swayze looked like Hemsworth, it made me wonder if you guys rememberd that Tony Stark's nick name for Thor was Point Break for the same reason.
Yes he says you got a nice swing point break. I caught that reference, makes me wonder how many others did.
@@MarkDemeo Yes, and it was used again on Thor: Ragnarok as the code word Tony installed for Thor so he could get access to the Quinjet.
@@waynestanley498 that's called paying attention to continuity, love it when they do stuff like that.
Patrick Swayze in this was so utterly impressive to me as a kid. Just so damn cool! I wanted to be him so bad. But we were also in a landlocked region, so all I could do was wear the gnarliest surf gear I could find at the mall. Jams shorts. OP shirts. I was fly!😂
Watch Patrick Swayze again in Red Dawn & Roadhouse.
Don’t forget The Outsiders. Especially paired with Red Dawn with several actors in common
@@peterreist2882 The cast of The Outsiders is pure gold.
Good call. Both awesome movies.
All 3 great movies
Road house with Sam Elliott 😊
I love this movie, , so glad you watched it. It's a classic and the director Kathryn Bigelow went on to win an Oscar for The Hurt Locker. She's an incredible director who does action and tension very well. Keanu and Patrick are just amazing here.
Fun Fact: Tone, one of the surfers that attacks Johnny when he is rinsing off at the beach shower was played by the front man for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis
The rest of the gang is the rest of the band
@madpaduk lol😂😂😂
That's why he overacts in every scene.
Speaking of the range of Keanu Reeves,I believe his role in "The gift", with Cate Blanchett and Hillary Swank, is like no other.
Tyler was played by the great Lori Petty. She was the younger sister in 'A league of their own' and of course 'Tank Girl'.
Not only is this movie tons of fun, it's also great time capsule. This was part an era of Hollywood where many young stars were doing some high octane, action films. Movies like Days of Thunder, Broken Arrow with Christian Slater and John Travolta. The Chase and Terminal Velocity, with Charlie Cheen. Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Give any of these a go...
Keanu Reeves is known as the nicest guy in Hollywood. That's from people in Hollywood, so that's saying a lot.
This is true. Cena is also known having that title too
And Kurt Russel, it's about humility.
They're both very humble.
@@Mike-mj8oj Why? It seems like there are A LOT of people (especially men) doing considerable harm to people (especially children of late) and they all claim to be followers of the religion you follow. Actions speak louder than religious texts.
It also speaks volumes when people express a desire for others to join their religion (or suggest life has no purpose or the person’s actions have no value without a specific religion) but delete their comment when challenged with facts. Here’s a hint: you do not need to promote YOUR religion every chance you get. Just live your life & let others live theirs. If they want to find religion, it’s not that hard.
@@PercyLeon1 I really liked Cena til he did that cringefest apology to China. I still do, but not as much as I once did.
Patrick Swayze‘s character and Keanu Reeves is our kindred spirits, they are soulmates. Their bond is stronger than Kiana‘s bond with any other character in the film, no one understands him better than Swayze. The reason why Kiana lets him go is not only because he loves him, but also because he shares in his love for the wave, for life. Swayze teaches Keanu the important lesson that life should not be structured, it should not be robotic and predictable, life should be lived to the furthest rather than survived. At no point in the film does Swayze go to far, he only kills one person in the whole film and it’s out of self-defense. Everyone else who gets killed is killed by someone else, someone who doesn’t share in Swayze‘s loathing for violence. It is sad that Kiana‘s partner died, but it was not Swayze‘s fault. It’s tragic, but that’s why Keanu doesn’t want revenge, and doesn’t hate him for it, because if it was Swayze who showed up behind him, he would not of shot. It’s a beautiful film that chooses to explore humanity in such a beautiful way, and really look at these two characters and focus on their bond, rather than giving us a typical action plot. The fact that instead of having some tent scene where they try to kill him on the plane, instead Swayze tries to drive home to lesson, that this is what matters, living on the edge, try new things, pushing ourselves beyond our breaking point, he takes him skydiving to help him remember the life he has for surfing. He could’ve killed him, they could’ve beat him up and threatened him, but instead he tries to help him see his point of you. And at the end of the film, Keanu does, that’s why he quits.
Only, you don't arm up to rob banks unless you are ready to kill. Furthermore, one can easily debate that Bodhi has a psychological change in mindset when he orders the vault to get hit because the whole point to the robberies being quick is to offset any possibility of a police shootout whilst ensuring that they can keep the crime spree alive. He also draws on the undercover cop first knowing his magnum would do the killing first.
@@joepermenter7228 Absolutely right. Bodhi is still a sociopath at the end of the day because there's no way to be a "moral" criminal. He was deluding himself all the way through until the very end when he blamed "bad luck" for all of the deaths that were the direct result of his criminality.
@@williamjpellas0314 I'm not entirely saying that his moral crusade is completely misplaced, I just know there is two sides to every coin and when the situation came to a boil he had no obvious escape route and righteous indignation or not he was in fact still on a crime spree armed for the inevitable.
@@joepermenter7228 "....righteous indignation or not he was in fact still on a crime spree armed for the inevitable". Yes. For all of his blather, he was still a criminal at the root of it all.
@@williamjpellas0314 Heroes are often cloaked in Robin Hood or Batman's cloaks. When will the world get that?
One of the best Swayze performances and the breakthrough of Reeves as an action movie actor.
Kathryn Bigelow has always been a great director. You should also watch Strange Days, which she did right after this one, it's brilliant.
Strange that you think Patrick and keanu are from different eras. They were actually in another movie together 5 years earlier in 86 called Youngblood. Set and filmed in Canada. It’s a good movie about a young ice hockey player played by Rob Lowe . it would actually be an interesting movie for the two of you to react to seeing as your Canadian and seem to enjoy sports movies. Keanu is barely in it but Patrick has a big enough part.
The boys are great. I love them. But let's shout out the ladies too. Kathyrn Bigelow made a gorgeous, really fun movie. I was always a fan and so happy for her when she later won her Best Director Oscar for The Hurt Locker. And for a few years there, my girl Lori Petty was having the most fun in the movies. Surfing with the cool guys, playing baseball with the greatest girls, freeing killer whales, being Tank Girl. She was such a blast to watch. Glad you guys liked it, and so glad Carly was on board for it.
No, her husband did..
⚠️ Don't miss GARY BUSEY in THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY. All the actors played the instruments and sang in the movie. Gary Buesy was Nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Roll for this movie. He had to lose 47 lbs for the movie roll because Buddy was a very thin young man. An Amazing proformace. Don't miss it. Enjoy 😉
Is that kind of like a Tootsie Roll?
I remember going to the premier of Fast & the Furious & about 30 minutes in realized it was simply Point Break, taken to the streets.
It has nothing on Point Break tbh.
One of the best chase scenes filmed. Some of this movie went right over peoples heads when it came out which is weird because its not an overly complex movie. Also lead singer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers Anthony Kiedis plays "Tone" one of the surfers that gang up on Johnny the "That would be a waste of time." line is hilarious because thats the peak of his acting range. Also his name being Tone is neat because he's a musician.
Ha. I thought that guy looked like AK. The Chili Peppers were in that movie Tough Guys in ‘86, too. Remember that one? Ha.
Kiedis is Tone Deaf.
Agent Dietz, the undercover detective who complains about the botched raid, is Tom Sizemore.
and let´s not forget Lori Petty, daughter of Tom Petty!
I dunno, he could scream pretty good
Lori Petty, Tyler in this movie, played Kit in "A League of Their Own".
For another 80’s classic react to “ROMANCING THE STONE” starring Michael Douglas, Danny Devito & Kathleen Turner. Action, Adventure, comedy & Romance in this one!
Excellent suggestion, it's a great movie too.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Great reaction, thank you.
One of my favorite movies ever. Both Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze were great in this one. I saw this when it originally came out in theaters(I was 20 years old). I took a hard pass on watching the remake just because it would not be the same without Keanu and Swayze. I also love the films from this director, Kathryn Bigelow., ever since I saw her first film, Near Dark, a vampire movie. Makes me want to watch this movie right now.
I was 11 in the theater. And I'll never watch the remake either.
The remake is an absolute JOKE of a movie.... I highly advise never be curious because it sucks hard lol
Haven't seen if anyone else mentioned this yet, but "the girl" (surf shop owner) is Lori Petty. She played Kit in "A League Of Their Own" as Gena Davis's sister and also stars in the post apocalyptic film "Tank Girl." She's also been in "Cadillac Man" among other films.
Keanu Reeves is older than one would think. He was great in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure in 1989, which I think was the same year as Dirty Dancing.
Close. Dirty Dancing was '87. But it was only 2yrs though.
The actress playing the woman who teaches Keanu to surf is Lori Petty. She was also in "A League of Their Own" and "Tank Girl"
There are several types of breaks in surfing including *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.
Ah glad y’all are visiting this lovely gem. When Keanu was still becoming John Wick and his first action film really. Swayze is great in this as well. I also recommend Road House from 1989 with Patrick. A very self aware action film:) Kathleen Bigelow’s direction of Point Break is amazing:)
This is Gary Busey's best acting performance in my opinion. Before his motorcycle accident a couple years prior to this movie, he was supposed to have been the next rising star. So it is fitting to have him in this movie with Keanu Reeves, also rising start at the time.
Loved him in silver bullet also
"I don't work on January the 8th...cause that's Elvis' birthday."
The Buddy Holly Story.
Predator 2 because it’s also Danny Glovers best performance ever.
@@sadboi7537 But not Adam Baldwin's best, and definitely NOT Bill Paxton's.
I love this movie!!! I always thought the bank robbing was part of a rush they got, plus it funded their surfing. I loved the sky diving, as well. And, the end, with long-haired Keanu! He just had to finish the job, let Bodhi know he found him and be done with all the rules. That last part where the music jumps in and he throws his badge into the ocean, love it!
Great movie! I'm 52 now but I started surfing at age 5. Watching this and seeing those big waves excite me about the ocean. I've been dragged many times and nearly drowned, it freaks you out for a bit but you can't resist big waves once you're hooked. Great reaction, I can't believe someone thought you were mother and daughter..lol. It's obvious you're both sisters
Couldn't believe it either.
Keanu doing his Surfer Voice in this movie was pretty much the last time Keanu brought back out His famous Iconic Character Ted Logan's way of talking from Bill & Ted...well at least until doing the recent 3rd Bill & Ted movie
I love the "saved your life bro" part. 😂😂😂
I also hated the ending where he unhooks him and let's him go ride the wave.
Glad you two enjoyed the movie. Its always a pleasure watching your reactions.
SO GLAD YOU WACHED THIS!!! ❤this is my most favourite film ever, seriously influenced my life. 🙂 now remember the story line because if you ever watch fast and furious, you know where they got the story from.
Amazing movie in so many ways! One of the classics. Story, characters and action just CLICKS! The running chase scene is one of the coolest scenes I’ve ever seen. Your reactions approves this as a classic. Thank you!
Kathryn Bigelow is such an incredible director. This movie holds up absurdly well for its age.
The first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director for The Hurt Locker
Personally I don't think the age matters much, there's a bunch of excellent movies that are considerably older. Many of the best action movies are also from the 80s & 90s. Good movies tend to stay good movies, regardless of age.
Naturally some seem cheesy now, but they were also pretty cheesy(often intentionally) when they came out, much like many new movies aren't going to be looked back on fondly.
For the oldest movie(so far) I personally found very good, I'd recommend the dark comedy "Kind hearts and coronets" from 1949.
@@DoubleMonoLR It depends on the movie. In that genre, they tend to age especially poorly. I watched the first couple Lethal Weapon films recently and they haven't held up nearly as well. I'm not just referring to content, but also the filmmaking techniques at play. Bigelow's shot composition and direction of action remains relevant and kinetic in a way few action films of that year would.
@@monovision566 This is how I feel about many of William Friedkin's and Peter Bogdanovich's films. Many of them feel like they were made today which is insane and a testament to their vision and talent.
They should watch « Zero Dark Thirty ».
MASTERPIECE ❤
14:03 - Keanu Reeves' "Surfer voice" is basically his "Ted" voice from "Bill And Ted's" Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey. Two must watch comedy movies, if you haven't already. 😆
"It's not tragic to die doing what you love." - Bodhi
One of my favorite quotes! ✌😎🤙
Live doing what you love/like. Try avoid what is tragic. Tragic will most likely happen when doing what is great.
It’s not as insightful if you spell it “Boatie”.
@@nocalsteve True! 😂🤣😂🤣
Keanu is a miracle. I watch all of his movies, barely enjoy them, don't think he can act...but I keep coming back.
This film brings back memories of life in the early 1990s. Happy times!
11:23 Fun fact: Carly mentions Chris Hemswoth when she sees Bodhi. In Avengers 1, Tony Stark taps Thor in the arm and says “you have a mean swing there, Point Break”.
Yep I remember that lol.
I recommend the similarly named 1997 film "Grosse Pointe Blank" starring John Cusack. You can see Lori Petty star in "Tank Girl" from 1995. It also has Naomi Watts, Ice-T and Malcolm McDowell.
I would love to see what the sisters make of Tank Girl.
Gross Pointe Blank is very underrated.
Absolutely love this movie, I always have. The more I re-watch it, the more I realize Fast and Furious really is just Point Break with cars.
Or Avatar, Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas.....same plot.
Another good Patrick Swayze movie to watch is "Road House". I also Know Lori Petty, who played "Tyler" from another movie called "A League of Their Own." I would like to suggest that you both watch both of these movies.
This movie is all about feeling conflicted, happy, excited and sad. It has wild west robber vibes. This plot was so successful, it was used again for the movie "Fast and the Furious". Glad you liked it.
*Another great Swayze movie is "Youngblood" with Rob Lowe from '86 *Keanu is also in this movie . Good storyline centering around ice hockey and of course a nice romance story
Regarding your comments about Patrick Swayze's pointed toes and grace while sky diving (good eye!) he actually studied ballet. My sister is a professional ballet dancer and she had the good fortune to meet him once when he came to the ballet company she danced for. She said he was extremely friendly and had a very kind soul.
You should really explore more of Kathryn Bigelow's films...... This was early on and really great, as was Near Dark, but from Strange Days onward she was doing exceptional work. Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt locker being her two most famous films.
Imagine this movie has 9 sequels, and Patrick end up surf fighting warships and submarines with armed surf board, you know, for family or something.
If you are wondering about Tyler, it is Lori Petty. She was in A League of Their Own, Free Willy, Tank Girl and a few other movies.
She was Kit the pitcher for the Rockford Peaches then became the hero in the World Series for Racine
In the Army Now
One of Lori Petty’s best works was her in House MD playing opposite of Olivia Wilde.
Alao Orange is the New Black.
I first saw her on the Head of the Class sitcom, in the episode where they protest in the cafeteria.
I've been watching your channel for awhile. I don't know why but I guess I feel connected to folks reacting to stuff I saw and made a big impact on me a long time ago. At any rate I can tell this movie didn't have the impact on you that it did on me when I first saw it on VHS at my friends house in the early 90s when I was still in high school lol. The philosophy of Bodi and just the way he carried himself really drew me in. As a Christian it made me think if this guy can be so charismatic about his beliefs then I should step to the plate and turn my faith into action. I graduated and got the opportunity to go to Europe and spread the gospel and it was a life changing experience for me getting to see Europe and live out my faith. Then again, I don't really go to church much these days so who knows. Life's a trip..
I've always liked this action thriller, my VHS tape wore out watching it so much. RHCP fans might notice the guy who says, that would be a waste of time and shoots his foot is Anthony Kiedis the lead singer of the band.
I was 4, my grandma took me to see this in the theater. It was epic
I've been skydiving for 40 years and this is still the best jump scene I know of even though it's totally unrealistic mainly because you can't hear anything because there's so much wind
Unrealistic AF!
188 jumps here, and, yeah, the scene is cool, but laughable!
Gear up on the climb to altitude, five minutes of freefall, making it to the formation on his very first jump ever, talking to each other in freefall, pulling at 1000 feet, and having to do a water landing without any training?! 😂😂😂😂
Blue skies!
Swayze did all the skydiving scenes himself. I read somewhere that he did 55 jumps in total just for the movie. Of course it's gonna be unrealistic timewise.
@Skyscribe yeah I wish I could have 5 minutes of freefall 🤣
@@stretmediq For real!!!
@@skyscribe Out of curiosity, how much time do you typically have in free fall before you have to pull your parachute? Also, I'm kinda curious as to how high the plane usually takes you up before you jump out.
One of my favorites, definitely the best movie from 1991 and my top ten favorites of all. Didn't inspire me much to surf but definitely jumping from a plane lol. The way bodhi's spirit inspired utah's is understandable, this movie had the unique way of making you root for the good guy and bad guy cause the bad guy wasn't really bad, just a flawed human trying to live life to the fullest. Great soundtrack, great scenery, and great acting.
I think Utah was just content in knowing that Bodhi knew that he was caught, that someone had finally beaten him,
but at the same time, Utah felt like he owed it to Bodhi to let him die in those waves since he was the one that changed his perspective on life. Bodhi might've gotten lost along the way, but the wisdom he passed on to Utah was real, hence why when Bodhi asked if he was still surfing, Utah answered "Everyday" because his entire life was on a new path now. It's also why he tossed his badge into the surf, because he stopped being a Federal Agent the moment his partner got killed. He just needed to finish the job he and his partner started before he could truly be "finished."
My head canon is that he and Tyler ended up running some surf shop together.
👍🏻
They are a bit older now, but they are still running that surf shop together. They have 4 kids all grown now and all of them hit the waves every day.
Nice analysis Sully! Love it.
@@kevinerose I like it!
My kinda comment 😎👍
29:55 “Look at those pointed toes!!”😂
This is why we subscribe to your reactions, Cassie 🫶
Another great 1991 movie. I didn’t get to watch this in the movie theaters but I did rent it when it came out on video. 1991 was a fantastic year for both music and movies.
The 80s and early 90s were the best! Cheesy action movies understood exactly what they were and didn't pretend to be anything more serious. Young Bruce Willis, young Keanu, young Tom Hanks, young Kevin Costner, prime Arnold Swarzenegger, peak Patrick Swayze, prime Meg Ryan, pre-implosion Sharon Stone, pre-insane Tom Cruise, peak John Hughes as a director, James Cameron when he actually made more than one movie every decade. Just an awesome era.
It doesn't make us want to go surfing or jumping out of an airplane but it does hit you in the feels when somebody can look past your insecurities and give you the out you need you want
I grew up watching this movie 1000x as a kid. It is superior story telling and film making, even though it is a genre film. There are so many cues from this movie ripped off to this day in almost every single action and bank robbery film. It was also the first film to use a stedi-cam for a chase sequence. James Cameron produced, and the first woman to ever win an Oscar for directing was the director, Kathryn Bigelow.
This movie is an intense emotional roller coaster.
I really enjoyed your reactions as usual Cassie and Carly.
The Ocean is terrifying.
So I'm not likely to try surfing.
Definitely have mix emotions about the ending. Keanu and Patrick Swayze did an awesome job. I'm still disappointed Bodhi turned out to be a bad guy.
Fun fact: Keanu drives a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 in this movie and a 69 Mustang Mach 1 in John Wick.
You two are meant to be on camera! Keep up the great work! Really enjoy watching ya'll!! 👍👍
I really like this movie, I review it every year!!! By the way James Cameron is the producer of the film and his ex-wife is the Director! They once again worked together on the film "Strange Days" (1995).
This is one of my all time favorite. I literally watched my vhs tape to death when I was a kid. Great movie.
hell yeah brother
I caught this on VHS in the early 90s in high school. I never heard of it but I think my friends were recommending it. Was blown away by the foot chase scene and the parachute jumps. I guess the surfing didn't make quite the same impact, LOL.
Two of the Presidents, Nathaniel and Grommet aren't actors; they're professional surfers. I think they did an amazing job!!
The final scene was actually filmed on the Oregon coast. 👍🏽
Bodhi went for the *vault* because that was their last bank robbery. The FBI had their names, and they can't keep robbing banks and surfing waves in America. Bodhi need enough money for the gang to live in Mexico or elsewhere for the rest of their lives.
I don't think the Red Hot Chili Peppers were actors either.

Yes, you can do that. Buy a parachute, lease an aircraft, jump. Once Terminal Velocity, the point where the drag of the jumper and equipment match the pull of gravity, is reached, the jumper is falling one thousand feet every five seconds...at around one hundred and twenty miles an hour.
Great choice!!! aaahhh the movie with a starting actor (keanu) that became a legend, working together with and seasoned actor (RIP, dear Patrick) that was already a legend ...
in a movie that still was superior then the remake they made later on (different actors)
The Canadian Surfing Queens in Utah do it again. I love you're rewrite and letting the partner live too. Thanks you for the witty and fun commentary.. You were so right about the free climb rocck climbers - that is the most powerful use of Will and Determination I've ever seen.
It's so nice of you to watch movies with your granddaughter Cassie. Very sweet
Omg that was ....I don't know what that was ..... just get-em Cass
Are you kidding or NOT…🤨
Great reaction ladies!! Point break is one my personal favorites and to answer your question keanu is 58 and that is patrick swazye surfing!!
100% pure adrenaline! Such an underrated action movie that most reactors ignore.
Just like DIGGSTOWN...We need to get Diggstown traction so we can get a reaction.
I would not agree its underrated. It is on most professional reviewers top 100 and most average citizen's top 20 action films. Unlike most popular action movies of that time, it has aged like wine instead of milk.
@@saffmichael4369 I'm just saying among most reaction channels it's hardly reacted to and it's a shame given how entertaining it is.
30:08 Yes,that's possible. Even formations with well over one hundred skydivers have been performed. 30:13 The fall from 13,000 feet up to 1,000 ft. takes about one minute. Usually skydiving fall speed is nearly 120 nautical mph.
This is one of my favorite Keanu Reeves movies by far. A couple little fun facts about this movie, the Australia seeing was actually filmed on the coast of Oregon, and The Fast and the Furious franchise more specifically the first one was actually supposed to be a remake of this movie.
38:50 This entire sequence that is set at Bell’s Beach in Australia (which is a real beach about 53 miles southwest of Melbourne) is actually thousands of miles away from Australia. It was filmed at Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, located in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
Gary Busey actually WAS the pitcher in Rookie of the Year.
No, I think he was a fellow pitcher/teammate. The rookie was around 12 or 13 years old - Bussey was much older than that.
@@johnjames6980 Yes, Busey was the older pitcher on the team that takes Henry in almost as a father figure
Bodie is an addict. He needs to push it further and faster to keep getting that rush until he took it too far. The ending they left room for a sequel.
