Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile shooting second unit footage at the Jaws surf break in Maui, the crew was fortunate enough to catch one of the largest wave breaks of the last decade being ridden by the world's top big wave surfers.
- GoofsAngel Falls is 3,212 feet (980 m) tall. Jumping from the top of the falls would kill a person. Due to the height of the fall a person would reach terminal velocity (130 miles per hour/209 kilometres per hour). The chance of surviving would be minuscule as at those speeds water won't compress. It would be like hitting a brick wall at 130mph/209kmph. You might be able to survive by pointing your toes and going straight in, but you would break every bone in your feet, legs, hips, and probably your back as it compresses.
- Quotes
Johnny Utah: [from trailer] Bodhi, do you have any idea how many people you've killed? How many laws you've broken?
Bodhi: [scoffs] The only law that matters is gravity.
Johnny Utah: [Bodhi falls off the cliff] STOP!
[Utah tries to grab Bodhi but falls after him]

Unfortunately, in between all of those moments is a pretty boring plot line with characters that you never really care about.
If you like mindless action (nothing wrong with that) then you will probably like this movie - although most of the "action" is extreme sports, not really guns.
Apparently I have to write at least ten lines of text, but honestly there isn't much more to say about the movie!
