Point Break is a 1991 action film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey. The title refers to the surfing term point break.In this action/crime-drama, Reeves stars as Johnny Utah, an FBI agent whose background consists of having served as a quarterback for Ohio State. Johnny and his partner, Angelo Pappas (Busey), are assigned to investigate a string of bank robberies in the Los Angeles area being committed by a gang nicknamed the "Ex-Presidents", due to their use of masks of former U.S. Presidents during said robberies. Their investigation leads them to a group of surfers led by Bodhi (Swayze), an adrenaline junkie who would do anything for a cheap thrill... perhaps even rob banks.Johnny falls fast for Bodhi's ex-girlfriend Tyler (Lori Petty), who he convinces to teach him how to surf. Johnny begins to suspect Bodhi of involvement with the robberies performed by the Ex-Presidents, but at the same time becomes addicted to his adrenaline-charged, thrill-seeking lifestyle. In the end he is so immersed in the extreme sports that he has a difficult choice to make: friends or duty?The film was a box office success upon its release, and it has since gathered a cult following. The film also contains notable celebrity cameos including Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis. There is a stage adaptation, Point Break LIVE!, in which the role of Johnny Utah is cast from the audience moments before the show starts in order to maintain the "authenticity" of the role.A remake was released in 2015, which stars Luke Bracey as Johnny Utah and Édgar RamÃrez as Bodhi. | |

Point Break (1991) / int_11ad560b | comment |
Control Freak: Keanu Reeves described Johnny as a "total control freak, and the ocean beats him up and challenges him. After a while, everything becomes a game. He becomes as amoral as any criminal. He loses the difference between right and wrong." | |

Rescue Romance: Averted; though Johnny and Tyler do Meet Cute when she rescues him from drowning during his first attempt at surfing, she dislikes him at first because of how inept he is, and he's just using her to gain credibility for his undercover identity. It's only later that they fall in love. | |

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Bodhi claims that he's robbing banks to wake people up to the mundanity of their lives and the broken system they're shackled to. But it's pretty obvious that he's lying to himself, and the real reasons he's robbing banks are a) the money, and b) the thrill. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: The Ex-Presidents' last bank robbery. Instead of just hitting the registers, Bodhi decides to go for the safe. This gives one of the hostages time to draw a gun and shoot Bodhi in the chest and Grommet in the throat. The hostage and a security guard are gunned down and Bodhi clubs Johnny in the head and leaves him for the police. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Johnny's knee injury. In an action movie, a character who was a former athlete until an injury derailed his career is nothing unusual. Nor here, as there's nothing seen that shows his leg ever affecting him... until he jumps down a concrete flood break and pops it badly, causing him to to lose Bodhi during their chase. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity: Utah and Pappas are both absolutely hated by their FBI colleagues, mainly for their unconventional way of investigating, Utah being a New Meat rookie and Pappas being a has-been washout. After Utah is made The Scapegoat for the Ex-Presidents' last robbery that resulted in three causalities (including an off-duty cop), Agent Alvarez and Director Harp took great pleasure in apprehending Utah for his alleged treachery. | |

Actor Allusion: Johnny reports to Angelo on Bodhi's movements that day. He comments on how he ate lunch at Patrick's Roadhouse, which is an actual restaurant in LA. It might also be construed as a reference to Patrick Swayze's movie Road House (1989). Gary Busey previously played a LA-based federal agent in Predator 2 the year prior. Tom Sizemore would go on to play a Los Angeles police officer in True Romance two years later. | |

This Is the Part Where...: When Johnny is confronted by a group of surfers (who turn out to be drug dealers), he asks them if this is the part where they tell him how he's intruding on their territory. They tell him it would be a waste of time, and they're just going to give him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown instead. | |

Police Are Useless: Even if you didn't know the plot going in, if you were to listen to Angelo's theory it makes perfect sense and is based on the only hard evidence they have. But his supervisors and the other agents completely dismiss his theory based solely on not believing that surfers could actually do that. | |

Artistic License – Law Enforcement | |
Point Break (1991) / int_8a8f37f9 | comment |
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: Johnny and Pappas' boss ignores their very logical conclusions based on what little evidence they have (considering they have nowhere else to look, why not look there?). Not only that, most directors in his position would be overjoyed to have agents who not only keep up their normal caseload, but work another case on their own time. The biggest offender, however, is Johnny using his real name while going "undercover" on the beach. This would be dumb enough under normal circumstances, but Johnny is a former college football star who blew out his knee in a big game, and he was well-known enough that years later people still remember him. Even in the pre-internet era, all it would take is one big college football fan in the group following his life after the injury to know that the famous Johnny Utah became an FBI agent after he couldn't play any more, and the whole operation is blown. | |

Screen-to-Stage Adaptation | |
Point Break (1991) / int_99244825 | comment |
Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: The film inspired a piece of cult theater, Point Break Live!, in which the role of Johnny Utah is played by an audience member chosen by popular acclamation after a brief audition. The new "Keanu" reads all of his (or her) lines from cue cards for the duration of the show, "to capture the rawness of a Keanu Reeves performance, even from those who generally think themselves incapable of acting." | |

Da Chief: Supervising Agent Ben Harp. Every single scene he has with Utah and Pappas has him screaming at them for their supposed inefficiency even when Utah points out in a scene right after one chewing out that they are handing in their case quota and the surfing he's been doing with Bodhi's gang to infiltrate them has been done (up to that point) on his own free time, and Pappas pointing out at the moment of that specific chewing out that undercover operations are a thing that takes time. It becomes clear that he hates them just because he hates them even before shit really starts going bad for the two agents. | |

Hollywood Skydiving | |
Point Break (1991) / int_aaa48538 | comment |
Hollywood Skydiving: Mythbusters found that you almost certainly can't hold a conversation while freefalling, but Utah could conceivably have caught up with a Bodhi by streamlining his body (though not necessarily at that altitude). Most of the skydiving WAS real however, including all the shots of Swayze, an experienced skydiver who made 55 jumps for the film. It is not a good idea to deliberately make a landing on water when solid earth is nearbynote not because the landing itself is dangerous, but because after you land, your chute lands on top of you, and you are in danger of drowning, either from becoming tangled in the chute's connecting lines, or it drags you down. And even if neither of those happen, the chute is very heavy to swim with, a lot harder to carry when you make it to land, and now you have to wait for it to dry out before you can properly fold and re-stow it. The sequence at the end with Johnny jumping out to get to Bodhi goes on for about 90 seconds when it’d actually only take about 31 seconds for someone who jumped out of a plane at that altitude to hit the ground. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
Point Break (1991) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Pappas's theory that the Ex-Presidents are surfers is so outlandish that everyone thinks it can’t possibly be true (even though the theory is based on what hard evidence they do have). | |

Fake Shemp | |
Point Break (1991) / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: Patrick Swayze is not the one wearing the Reagan mask during the foot chase sequence. Instead, his stunt double, Scott Wilder, performed the scene because Swayze was in Europe doing press for Ghost (1990). | |

Dark Action Girl: The girl in the shower at the drug dealer house who first kicks the shit out of Johnny and then repeatedly stabs a FBI agent before finally taken down, all while being naked. | |

Red Herring | |
Point Break (1991) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: The movie gives us a thuggish crew of surfers who Johnny initially suspects may be the Ex-Presidents. Bodhi saves him from getting beat up by them. When they bust them, it turns out that they were actually drug dealers, not thieves (and the deep cover DEA agent who was with them is pissed that the FBI ruined his operation). Of course, it's later revealed that Bodhi and his crew are the actual Ex-Presidents. | |

Determinator | |
Point Break (1991) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Johnny, who manages to successfully track Bodhi's whereabouts after his escape, chasing him through Mexico, South America, Sumatra, Fiji and finally Australia. Hell, the fact that he follows Bodhi out the door of a skydive plane, and without a parachute of his own, marks him as this. | |

Hate Sink: The Red Herring surfer drug dealers in their brief appearance and overall Harp act as this in order to make Bodhi and his crew sympathetic in comparison. | |

Jerkass: Fellow Agents Alvarez and Babbitt and Deputy Director Harp, who collectively hate Utah's and Pappas' guts and spend every moment on screen being useless to the investigation themselves but doing everything they can to get in our heroes' way (even though, as pointed out, they're handling their normal caseload just fine, and the investigation is on their own time) and then mistreating them when said interference leads to lousy results. | |
