    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Patrick Swayze was an accomplished skydiver, and took part in the big skydiving scene. He made fifty-five jumps in total.
    • Goofs
      When Bodhi shows Jonny the 'kidnap' tape in the back of the van, the monitor is a small, approx 5 inch portable device with dials down the right-hand side and the VCR underneath. However, when they exit the van and we can see inside, the monitor is now a normal 12 inch portable TV with no dials and the VCR appears to be on top of the TV.
    • Quotes

      Bohdi: Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

    • Alternate versions
      The 15-rated UK cinema version was trimmed by 25 secs to obtain the lower rating by the BBFC. There were five cuts to remove bullet impacts, cuts to shots of a naked woman being fired at during the house raid and several cuts to remove aggressive strong language. The cuts were restored the following year when the distributors opted for an 18 certificate for the video release. This same cut was resubmitted in 2011 and received a 15 certificate.

    So Good I refuse To Acknowledge The Existence Of A Remake

    Just a ripping movie that came out of nowhere. Keanu Reeves, action star? Who Knew. Swayze is mega convincing as the rogue surfer dude looking to live the dream.

    The 3 leads are right on the money.

    Fun story crazy action :)

    • How long is Point Break?Powered by Alexa
    • What is "Point Break" about?
    • I'm watching the edited television version and they blurred out one of the surfers pulling down his shorts while they were surfing - ostensibly revealing a tattoo on the surfer's rear end. This prompts Johnny to contact Pappas about it. What was the tattoo? And why was it significant?
    • Is this movie based on a book?
