Point-less Break | 7:21 am | 7 September 2007
For some reason, we had the DVD of Point Break laying around (thanks, Ron!), and finally threw it in last night, figuring that at least the Rifftrax would make it vaguely watchable. Wow. What a turd! Also one of the gayest movies* I’ve ever seen. Name the best part:
- when Keanu dove out of a plane with a gun and no parachute, chasing after Swayze?
- when Gary Busey tried to crash the car into a plane?
- when Keanu caught up with Swayze on a rainy beach in Australia, and let him go to surf the wave of “The Fifty Year Storm,” …and the other cops are all, “OMG! WTF? Oh well, we’ll get him when he comes back in” to which Keanu hoarsed out the reply, “he’s not coming back in”?
- when Keanu walked away from the scene on the beach, and whipped his badge into the ocean?
We’re thinking it was during the interminable running scene, when Swayze, wearing a Ronald Reagan mask, threw a dog in Keanu’s face. Then he ran off to reload with some Weimeraners and Puggles.
*I ran the Milwaukee Gay and Lesbian Film Festival for two years, and hosted Bruce LaBruce; I know from gay film…

So now you get all those Point Break references in Hot Fuzz, right?
