Point Break 2!

[Collectors Set]

I apologize in advanced if I did not see this elsewhere.

Awhile back I remember browsing a "fantasy" like thread on here of the most desired Blu Ray movie releases and of course a mock Point Break BluRay case was created. It was actually pretty exciting to see that

However imagine the feeling of knowing that after now 18 years, they are finally going to make a sequel and have reached out to both Keanu Reeves & Patrick Swayze.

Seriously think about it - if they can pull off bringing back Johnny Utah along with Bodhi who was technically never captured at the end now nearly 20 years later, this will be even more unlikely than Rambo and Indiana Jones

Although we never see Bodhi actaull die in the end, I pretty much think its over for him. The last scene pretty much ended his story line IMO.. TO bring him back would make him some type of "superman" .......

I don't think Patrick Swayze is quite up to returning as Bodhi . . .

To tell you the truth, I have not watched it in nearly a decade and actually have been purposely avoiding it for the last couple years or so because I have been waiting for that perfect bluray moment. But I have seen worst come backs in soap operas for certain

I am seriously excited about this.......WHat did you think of the original??

I was going to say this myself, but though heck if he can smoke why not surf?

Personally I though it was a great popcorn flick....I could and have watched it over and over.....Its not a "classic" in terms of movies, but its that early 90's cheesy action flick classic....

I know what you mean by comebacks though, I have seen some pretty bad ones myself. I dont know if it would go over well with Bodhi as a returning character. I can see Utah, just not Bodhi....

I wouldnt get too excited aout this movie though as I don't think it will ever come to fruition. IMO the 1st one wrapped things up nicely. Sometimes sequels aren't nessescary and I think this is one of those times.

I don't think there should be a sequel.

If you read the link, it actually says it will follow what happen to Swayze and not invlove reeves. Personally I would rather it go the other way.

I just done think it will be the same without Keanu.

If the movie is not properly made then I will agree with you 100% in hindsight.

(from Cinemablend) Point Break 2 casting has started:

Are you a “Hawaiia Da Hui-type”? Can you ride a jet-ski? Do you think you can play a nervous surfboard shaper? How do you look in a nose ring? If you can latch onto any one of these attributes or many others, you might get to be in a real motion picture sequel! Not just any sequel; this will be a sequel that will make Godfather II look like Ernest Saves Christmas. Of course I’m talking about Point Break 2.

According to Movie Hole casting is underway on the Jan De Bont directed sequel (actually called Point Break: Indo) to the 1991 cult hit surfing thriller that starred Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, and Gary Busey. They are reportedly looking for extras in Bali where one man claims he was interviewed by casting agents who video taped him and asked him how long he’d been surfing and if he could ride a jet ski, which the man thought was “for one of the big robbery scenes or something". That sounds like good solid info.

The article goes on to list some lead and supporting roles that currently being cast. They include,

BUFFALO – A “Hawaiia Da Hui-type” he is part of Dali’s clan of surfer thieves. During heists, he wears a mask of Colin Powell’s face. Buffalo and Dali laugh about Billy’s attempts to surf the waves of Ombak, and Buffalo’s not sure they should trust Billy, but the also help him recover from his injuries. During a fracus with Agung, Buffalo swings his opponent around like an Olympic hammer thrower… SUPPORTING

TAY – in his 20s ultra fit he’s a Japanese/Korean man and he’s part of Dali’s clan of surfer thieves. During heists, Tay wears a Donald Rumsfeld mask to hide his identity. When Billy is injured, Tay fixes him back up, using a combination of lime juice and super glue. He is amused by Billy’s reactions…. SUPPORTING

CAPTAIN – The Captain of the Johannes Geise Vessel, he calls “mayday!” when the Bush Gang of criminals boards his ship. He is forced by Dali to open his safe… 3 lines, 3 scenes

There are more, but you can see that the plot will involve someone being nursed back to health using lime juice and super glue. As we noted back in November 2007, the movie will focus on sea pirates that wear masks. In this case, a former military operative and pro surfer, Billy Dalton, is attempting to infiltrate the gang. It looks like Keanu Reeves character is completely out, but it’s still unclear if Patrick Swayze will be involved. As long as they have the guy who swings people around like a hammer, do they really need Bohdi?
