Point Break 2 - oh yes, it's true!

Recommended Posts

That's right, Patrick Swayze has signed on to make a sequel to the beloved skydiving classic Point Break. Keanu Reeves won't be back as Johnny Utah, but let's keep our fingers crossed that Swayze can provide another totally realistic skydiving scene. Oh yeah, who else is as psyched as I am??

So the sequel will begin in Indonesia with him getting out of that monstrous wipe-out at the end of the first film, lurking in the water quietly until Johnny Utah leaves the beach and goes his merry way back to USA? Will he then take Johnny's FBI badge that he threw in the water and go robbing banks all across the Pacific rim with a dual identity as Bodhi and Johnny Utah, the FBI agent?

If that's the case, why not make a sequel to Scarface, where he plays dead in that pool in his lobby where the movie ended, waits for all of the Colombian gunmen to leave and then gets out of the pool and takes off his bulletproof vest, finishes the mountain of coke on his desk and goes on to take over "The world chico, and everything in it"?

That's what we need, more sequels. There just aren't enough of them. :|

Since he was getting 4 minute freefalls back in '91, I expect to see him getting 12 minute wingsuit flights now.:P

...nah, Bodhi (Swayze) was a pro. The 12 minute w/s flights will come from some newbie on AFF. Bodhi should be getting at least 20 minutes.

"1000 ft, you pull!"
"Nah broseph, I don't need to pull. I'm just gonna hum it in with my wingsuit."

OK, here is my half-baked theory: Jeb Corliss has been saying for a couple years that he has worked out how to land a wingsuit, but couldn't raise the funds to cover the logistics. Recently, in a posting in the BASE forum he stated that the obstacles were coming down, and he would soon be doing it. So my theory (with tongue in cheek), is that Jeb (as Bodhi's stunt double) will be landing a wingsuit with the film production picking up all the costs.:P

...and Eli will be filming an episode of Stunt Junkies from the set. And you can bet your ass they'll have a shot where Bodhi cracks open a can of Go Fast in freefall and says "I love this Go Fast shiiiiiit!!!!!"

Now the big question will be: Which ex-president mask will Jeb be wearing for the landing? Clinton?B| Dubya?:S And of course the wingsuit will have "Air Force One" emblazoned on the side.

Why not? Jason Voorhees made coming back from the dead "in vogue" and he was the first to do it. All the copycats got nothing on him. :ph34r:

Now I have renewed hope that they will come out with a sequel to Cutaway!

In part 2 they go EVEN FASTER!!!!



1. I hope to hell they make the sequel w/o notifying Stephen Baldwin.

2. They need to make "Swoop" the central character.

THEN, I might pay to see it.,

I think you have two movies mixed together.


Anyways, a sequal to point break would be fucking amazing. The first one brought a lot of business to our sport, which is something I don't think most DZs would complain about.

OMG.. the storyline.....arrrggghhhh

The new film is said to fix on ex-professional surfer who enlists in the US Navy and is recruited to track down a criminal gang based in South-East Asia.



If the surfer is named Lance Johnson, and played by Sam Bottoms, they could make it a sequel to two movies!;)

He's right.

Actually, in all fairness, I was about 13 years old or so when I saw Point Break and that was the movie that made me want to skydive in the first place.

But will they spring for a high end casket or just a plain old pine box?

Actually I saw it in the theatre and it was good at the time to a wuffo. They play it on cable and DirecTV like every 4 days now for the last 5 years. It's amazing how it's had staying power.
I dunno about a sequel though.
The funny thing is, at the time, no one would want to go see it because of Keannu, but might go cause Patrick was in it. Now they won't go cause Patrick is in it, but might go if Keannu was. It's amazing what a few years do to a career.
