Point Break Re-Make and additional surfing awesomeness!

[mainemike]

You heard correctly, this masterpiece is getting another coat of paint, so to speak. Talk about highway robbery, nary a mention at the Oscars that year. Anthony Kiedis was mesmerizing, a man in full, as they say, such was his performance. And Mr Busey, well, what could I possibly add to this master's accolades/accomplishments, and utter commitment to his art. He is his art, incarnate. I stand before you, skeptical of course, but quaking and damp in nervous anticipation.


Here is big wave surfing super hero Ian Walsh on a big day at Jaws, catching monsters for the remake. This vid is sick. And if the pic at the bottom doesn't make you want to be a surfer for God's Sake man - wake up!!

Gary Busey is the only Hollywood actor with 7 spirit animals.

i used to live in my shop. I had a TV/VCR combo with no cable or local channels. i only owned 2 movies Point Break and Roadhouse, i was very Swayze'centric at that time. So if you wanted to watch TV, on a date to get the mood set, it was one of those 2. I have seen them at least 2 thousand times each.

Point Break is without a doubt, and un-arguably the best movie of all time. I am sure the remake will be less than stellar, RIP Pat, but watching that surfing video gives me a little hope for total awesomeness.

First Red Dawn, now this...they are killing classic Swayze.
Let us pray they stay away from Roadhouse.

Point Break is my favorite movie. 100% serious and un-ironic.

Best fucking chase scene ever.

Anyone here ever see Bigelow's first movie Near Dark? It's rad as hell too.

The original is one of the greatest lori petty movies of all time.

The fight scene with Anthony Keadis and Ted Logan is so good.

Bummer. Such a classic, I think I am due for a re-watch before they butcher it. There should be a law against re-making classic movies.

Agreed. Though there wouldn't be much in theaters if they stopped rehashing the same stuff.

Does anyone own the blu ray?
The picture quality of the transfer on the standard DVD I own is super grainy.
It's a great movie for winter Sunday afternoon viewing.

Utah face first into the business end of a lawnmower...my hindquarters tighten just thinking about that scene.

The re-make supposedly will star Gerard Butler as Bodhi (huh? kinda old and fat) and feature "extreme sports" rather than surfing. Sounds so fucking terrible. This has straight to video all over it, hopefully. If they remake Ghost someone is going to get hurt.

Point Break marries Vin Diesel's XXX and has a child.
Sounds like they needed a story line for a goPro commercial

Are you kidding me? Those no-good, 2-bit, low-down-dirty...

I asked my wife last fall if she had ever seen Point Break, and there was a laugh and a no. So on to the netflix list it went but it stated "Long Wait". No instant viewing. No Amazon. So we waited. And waited. One day this past summer, I got a random email from Netflix: Point Break for this Friday! F'n Finally.

I'll take Near Dark over Point Break any day of any week. And I'll take Point Break over drunk bro's quoting Point Break just as often.
