    Oh man, watched this again the other day and Id forgotten what a classic it is, Sure, the storyline isnt watertight but the action scenes, dialogue and performances of the cast are great. And a young Dr. Cox is in fine form as Sergeant Harper!!! Plus it makes u want to jump outta planes and surf!!!

    Love this film too, its obvious that its not the most thought provoking film ever made but its one of those films that really endeared it self to me. Some great scenes and was the perfect role for Keanu.... didn't even have to act he was so suited to the role...
    Swayze put in an excelent performance too and the film flowed really well and is one of the best and most underrated action movies of the nineties in my opinion.
    Pure entertainment !!

    Ahh Brilliant own 3 different copies on DVD & can't wait till the HD/BluRay version comes out, first movie I saw in surround sound over in UCI Tallaght. Great Dialogue from John C Mc "Young Dumb and full of cum" great performance from Mr Swayze and Mr Reeves and Swayze does actually jump out of a "perfectly good airplane" Kathrine Bigalow's finest moment, probably because her then husband Jim Cameron. Gary Busey gives a great performance as Pappas. And I love the chase through all the houses.

    Snake ;)

    P.S. I see that Point Break 2 is in development, big mistake me thinks

    Nah Flea isn't in it. He was in My own private Idaho with Keanu though maybe thats what your thinking of.

    Flea palys the guy who gets shot in the foot during the raid on the house.

    Just looked it up on imdb. Can you believe Matthew Broderick was originally to play Keanu Reeves character?:eek:

    Maybe it'll be a Point Break/Ghost type deal?

    oh christ if they do that it completely spoils the end of the first movie!

    Is nothing sacred anymore?

    Yes. Money is sacred. It is to be cherished above all else. Nobody dies in Hollywood if there's a buck to be made.
