If i wrote out a list of my top 25 films, amongst the Czech new wave, Godard's and Antonioni's, you would also find Space Balls, Major Leagues and maybe even Weird Science. That being said, I excitedly await the next installment of...
Point Break 2? Yep. Written by the same dude who wrote the original. Oh man...i can't wait.
Heres the description (now over a year old) taken from SlashFilm:
The new movie will be set in Southeast Asia and uncover the fate of the surfers’ leader Bodhi (played in the original by Patrick Swayze) who was supposedly (spoiler alert) killed by a giant wave at the end of the first film. The sequel will not feature the return of FBI Special Agent John ‘Johnny’ Utah (who was played by Keanu Reeves in the original), but will instead follow a surfer-turned-SEAL who is on the trail of “a criminal gang.” They hope to cast “a young male action star at the same stage in his career as Keanu (Reeves) was.”
Sounds horrible. Horribly amazing.
Think they'll have Clinton and Bush Jr. masks now? God, I hope so.
Post-Script: Screw artistic integrity. Who wants to put their creativity to good use and assist me in writing the next cult film? We can be the laughing stock of Hollywood but still get all the perks(wink wink).

Well I just have never known about this "Point Break"...I also just wanted to that it may be an American thing to appreciate the "sacred and the profane" in terms of movies (your Antonioni's and your Space Balls), the Japanese may have us beat...perhaps the largest range between the loveliest and the trashiest
i can't help but get excited over the possibility of a sequel but what kind of Point Break will it be without the powerful performances of Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze?
