That's a great weekend action movie. Too bad you can't stream it on NetFlix.

I'd want to see the list of the actors.

This is one movie I don't really see the point of remaking. Then again I rarely see the point of remaking old movies

There are exceptions though.

[bigluv]

Apparently we got ourselves an asshole shortage!

Keep an eye here:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2058673/

There's a screenplay written already, so actors should start showing up soon.

[pornmasta]

there was also total recall... and even if i find kate beckinsale sexy, the first movie was better. I bet it will be the same thing with this movie....

[WarChild]

Who are those guys?
Nazi assholes.
The guy you dropped is Bunker Weiss,...
..the big one is WarChild, AKA Lupton Pitman.

So, umm, yes.

[LeRoy]

Here's Swayze's stunt double in the last scene

[SomeCreep]

Great fucking movie.

UTAH, GIMME 2.

I can honestly say growing up, I had this movie on VHS and would watch it once time a week, bare minimum.

R.I.P Patrick Swayze

I liked Point Break but UGH!!! why?

But get this : The producer of the new Point BReak is Andrew Kosove and he's also producing another 80's CLASSIC tie-in movie... are you ready for this? A SEQUEL TO BLADE RUNNER, directed again by Ridley Scott. I mean come on.... it shouldn't be re made, it doesn't need a sequel, and I'm sorry but Ridley Scott sucks donkey balls now. Prometheus SUCKED! His version of Hannibal SUCKED! ALIEN : The Directors cut, SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED!

Anyway, Andrew Kosove's filmography is up at : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467255/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1. Pretty decent.

Blade Runner Sequel : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856101/ (not much info there yet) but there's also

Homo-erotic battle royale: Point Break vs Top Gun. Wagers?

Tom Gun is way more homo-erotic due to the volleyball scene alone!

[John-ACWM]

Loved that movie

Great movie, it sucks how bad hollywood wants to just keep making remakes.

Laaameeee!

The guy who wrote the new Point Break script also wrote the new Total Recall screenplay.

In truth they're not ALL remakes. Here are all the movies set to hit theaters this summer:

There are several sequels and remakes in there but there are a lot of others that aren't, although I don't know how *original* they all are.

Pacific Rim looks like it has promise as an action sci-fi. And I see Vin Diesel has another Riddick coming out in Sept.


But yes the remakes are sometimes quite insideous. There are plenty of movies done over the last 90-odd years give or take that probably wouldn't be bad if given a modern re-write and a fresh do-over, but I don't see Point Break as being one of them. Certain films containing certain actors just stand on their own and really should simply be left alone. Some are even sacred.

Case in point: If someone were to try and remake the cult classic The Warriors I would quite literally choke on my own vomit in disgust.
