my fucking pb memory: i returned from work in like 1992 to find my roommate again planted on the couch watching this rental for the nth time. we were at the "i hate you on sight- go ahead say something" stage of roommate-dom. bag and coat in hand, i looked at the tv, looked at him, rolled my eyes and blurted "o god. that patrick swayze, he's soooo dreamy."
boom! he vaulted from semi supine clear over the back of that couch in a nano second and was in my face with the "what the fuck you wanna go blah blah blah."
good times, good times. but, he has better taste in movies than me.

well, the homophobia underlying the event grates on me as i think about it-- i may as well have said "omg you are such a fag about patrick swayze"! but the story is offered as to pure spiteful button-pushing, and its object is clearly not to cover either of us in glory.

Kem Nunn ought to be namechecked somewhere in this thread. They ruined his book, but in a totally awesome way.

No better thread to post this stuff. I recommend turning the sound down for this first one, because the music is entirely inappropriate to how truly fucked up this wave is. I love the shot where the wave grabs the dude by his head and flips him like a cartwheel.

The music on this one is pretty dope. RJD2. It's just a little bit mournful, so you remember that YOU CAN DIE DOING THIS.

Still, it's hilariously easy to spot the exact moments where Adam Carolla or somebody would go off on eviscerating how stupid this movie gets.

Sequel?
When Billy Dalton, military special ops and star surfer, is disqualified from the pro-surfing tour, he takes off for the coast of Bali looking for the perfect wave. While there hes recruited by a private security force who are trying to find a gang known as The Bush Administration, surfing outlaws and modern day pirates who work like The Ex-Presidents, a bank robbing crew from Malibu twenty years ago.
I'm guessing this might not be quite such a beautiful film.
