I just watched Point Break after about 25 years and it was so awesomely bad.

This movie was released in 1991.

Analysis: There were shitskins in it who were “bad guys”. Patrick Swayze was an awesome guy. Busey is a cool nut bag. The acting was horrendous, but somehow made the movie more endearing (???). There was masculinity everywhere without it being an implied reason to dislike the characters, except Lori Petty, who acted and looked like a scrawny guy. There were some really beautiful shots of skydiving. The plot was terrible, yet somehow was 1000 times more watchable and enjoyable than anything I’ve seen in the last 15 years. Lots of eye candy for me too. Did not seem like a huge subversion body slam as most movies become when watching again, minus the part where Swayze called one trashy surfer guy a ‘Nazi’, which is why I will deduct one half a star. 3.5 out of 4 stars. Would watch again.

You've got to hear Adam Carolla's take on the movie. On point and fucking funny as hell.

Two bricks, coming up.

I love 80s and 90s movies.

It’s all I watch anymore. Just give me Police Academy 2 or 3 and let’s call it a day.

😂 He needed his two meatball subs! He was busy reading Calvin and Hobbes.

Its a cheesy bad. Have you seen the remake?

[ - ] dingbat [op] 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 28, 2024 02:39:20 ago (+2/-0)

No, I haven’t, but I did see a little bit of an onstage remake! The only (((play))) I ever enjoyed in my life was called ‘Point Break Live’. It was so fucking funny. It was the lowest of lowbrow and at the beginning of the show, the audience would choose a Johnny Utah out of the crowd by having three random audience guys say, “No waaaay!” He’d have huge cue cards to read the rest of the show. They just took the piss out of the bad acting and it was over the top and amazing 😂 I wish it were still around!

Edit: Should I watch the remake?

Johnny Utah graduated top point of his grade

Utah and Pappas were utterly retarded. The funniest was when Utah had to grab Pappas a meatball sandwich (make that two) and Pappas proceeded to read Calvin and Hobbes and missed the ex-presidents’ entrance into the bank. Total tards.

I saw that live performance once long time ago. I think in the 90s or something. Really fun show I recall.

The front few rows would get splashed with water in some scenes and they’d give out rain ponchos to anyone who wanted it.

I’m so glad someone else here saw it! It was really great. I want to say I saw it in 2010. They ran the show for several years and toured across the country with it. Brilliant idea.

I saw a Misfits cover band with a Point Break theme. They had zinc on their noses and really huge board shorts and neon sunglasses. I can't remember how they changed Misfits tunes to sing about surfing but I remember them being a lot better than you'd think. They never went anywhere, I think it was just a bunch of guys getting together and taking the piss whenever they could.

Have you ever fired your gun up in the air and gone ’aaaargh’?

First time I saw it was in the theater and I thought it was ok. Basically a comic bookish action movie.

Niggers aren't smart or organized enough to do high level crimes. That's why there are white criminals.

I say! Steady on!

¡Vaya con dios!

Don't come the raw prawn with me, mate!

Edit: sorry. Should have googled it first:

The Spanish phrase vaya con Dios is used to say goodbye wishing good luck and calling for God's protection. Literally, vaya con Dios can be translated as “go with God”. It's translated into English as “may God be with you”.23 June 2022

The bit that made me cringe hard was the scene at the end at "Torquay" station with the Chicago cops with machine guns

Deducting half a point because of a surf Nazi? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094077/
