Point Break: A Beautiful Film

"yeah so is my johnson"

I'd nail Lori Petty! I'd rip the crotch out of that Body Glove wetsuit.

Wonderful

I usually hate American bravado, but this statement makes me want to kick some commie faggot ass.

the "guy's waxing his mustache on the beach..." conjecture is really funny, though.

arf. cinematic history was made with this theory.
possilby.

"takes it off with his shoe.."

What?

i have somehow never seen this all the way through until tonight

"i would eat these out of a rhinosaurus's ass"

"I..am an F-B-I AGENT"

once again:

wow never noticed that patrick's roadhouse thing.

this is my favorite keanu movie, and that's saying a lot

also best gary busey movie

no wai... that's Lethal Weapon

rhinosaurus?

Bodhi also sports one of coolest mullets in the history of cinema

He may sport the only cool mullet in cinema history.

Keanu is so good. But nothing will touch his role as a French Canadian goalie in Youngblood. Nothing. What's that line? "He's like fucking an animal" or something?

rhinosaurus?

busey seems to pronouce it like that

plus iwas too lazy to google the correct spelling

I'd never seen this until last night, when I specifically rented it because I was so ashamed at this missing link in my knowledge of the world. And it did not disappoint. When I saw John McGinley and James LeGros in the opening credits I knew I was in good hands. Thumbs up to all the aforementioned lines, the smart casting of Lori Petty as Love Interest, hott bromance. And maybe I've just been ruined by today's editing, but I found all the action sequences really coherent and exciting, esp. the foot chase where teh Swayze just runs through peoples' houses all Ferris-style, picking up dogs and throwing them at Keanu, leaping fences, whatever it takes.

wow never noticed that patrick's roadhouse thing.

seen point break 700 times and roadhouse like twice but still O_O

I will endeavour to share this fact with everybody I meet in future.

p.s Gonna watch this tonight.

This movie used to be on TV at least once a month back in the 90s, kind-of like Zoolander. Thank god for Fuse, I almost forgot it existed.

"Cliffs on both sides! I'm not gonna PADDLE to New ZEALAND!!"

Anthony Kiedis being shot in the foot is my favourite moment in this film. Presumably where he found the inspiration to hop around on stage like a cunt for the past 20 years.

i saw this for the first time recently and was pretty much amazed

the smart casting of Lori Petty as Love Interest

haaaaaaa

NO ONES BIN OUT AND NO ONES GOIN OUT, DEATH ON A STICK OUT THERE MATE

is my fave line

"you can't just call time out and stroll back to the beach when things aren't going your way"

the directors name is "Ericson Core"!

and the screenwriter (who also wrote the "Total Recall" remake) looks like this:

surely this will be a masterpiece.

i like the original movie well enough, but jesus christ on a cracker keanu reeves cannot line read.

listen to those lines when you can look at 28yo Keanu? i didnt hear most of em.

this is the original's writer:

need to work on my Ericson Core

Edgar Ramirez is a babe, obviously, but that Johnny Utah is some unknown lame-o

"extreme athletes," KISS MY ASS

so does everyone in PB now look like Gary Busey did then?

Eriscon Core was dp on the Mel Gibson remake of Point BLANK.

Coincidence???

man, it's getting tougher and tougher to remember how amazing Edgar Ramirez was in Carlos

haven't seen him in anything since except the functional role in Zero Dark Bullshit.

He's in a Roberto Duran biopic soon... with deNiro as the trainer.

that pic of the writer of the remake isn't showing up for me so i looked him up and feel it is important to share (again)

http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/wennpic/kurt-wimmer-premiere-total-recall-01.jpg

Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard in the Duran movie yoo

no Merd, mine is the ORIGINAL bandanna-and-cigar writer

xxpost extreme scripting

for all the exxxtreme-to-the-maxxxx action on display in this trailer i bet there's nothing as exciting as the sequence in the original where keanu chases swayze on foot over fences and thru alleys and houses, which remains fucking amazing

also this luke bracey guy does an amazing job of sucking the life from the screen every time he appears on it

i think my first mobile phone was an ericsson core btw

swayze at one point throws a pit bull at keanu, which almost makes up for zero dark

he does! at 1:53 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=113&v=kmvXdUaUqgA

ha! i forgot about the projectile pit bull.

as i recall that chase just goes on forever and it's great.

watched this tonight, man I forgot how stupid the second half is. it's about on par with a 70s doctor who episode in terms of plot.

that was a first-rate chase

and yes it is deeply stupid, but not pernicious

(unless yer a Buddhist perhaps)

some of the dialogue is kind of pernicious. it's pretty much an exercise in exuberance and style, and everything else is just wasted motion.

scheduled to be released on December 25

this remake looks like shit but 20 y.o. me would have loved spending Christmas watching the original

is going to the cinema on Christmas Day a thing in the US? i think they're maybe closed for the day in the UK

read today that the rock wants to star in a remake of big trouble in little china, confirming my suspicions that hollywood is attempting to fuck with all the movies i loved as a 15-year-old

Christmas is still a massive movie-going day in the US, as is Thanksgiving. A great way to pass a couple hours with family; nobody is allowed to talk.

Release date: 30 years ago today

First movie I ever saw when I was high. Freaked out inside when Utah almost got his head shoved in the lawnmower.

I just googled when it was released on VHS and one of the questions google suggested was, "is Point Break based on a true story?"

I just caught the second half of this last night. Loling at the part where the Ex-Presidents are so radical that when it comes time to make a bonfire, they don't open the container of lighter fluid, but stick a butterfly knife in it. Seems like a terrible bonfire/great way to set yourself on fire.

That's how you know they mean it.

such beautiful, boldly chosen nonsense

Lori Petty's character is as underwritten as any in film tho

point breeeaak forevverrr
