Point Break Music

There are quite a few films that have decent music during the film which are apt for the scene including the 1st Wayne's World movie, American Pie "The Wedding" and Reservoir Dogs, but the one which stands out for me is Point Break. 

I know that a lot has to do with the music genre your prefer and as a rock fan, there's plenty to choose from including Wire Train and RATT, but the choice of music for the relevant scenes is superb and all credit goes to the talented and underrated director Kathryn Bigelow and the rest of the production team.

QUOTES

Young Surfer - Surfing's a source, it'll change your life I swear to god

Harp - You're a real blue flame special, aren't you son? Young, dumb and full of come, I know. What I don't know is how you got assigned here. Guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage?

Utah - I'm going to learn to surf or break my neck

Bodhi - That's a surfboard all right! Looks like a '57 Chevy I used to have

Bodhi - The little hand says, it's time to rock n roll

Pappas - Let me know if your find Jimmy Hoffa under the seat?

Pappas - Twenty two years. Man, LA has changed a lot during that time. The air got dirty and the sex got clean.

Utah - May be you should take early retirement or some night time rent a cop job telling Nam stories

Pappas - Listen you snot nosed little shit, I was takin' shrapnel in "Khe Sanh" when you were crappin' in your hands and rubbin' it on your face

Tyler - God damn adrenaline junkies. Bodhi will take you to the edge and back again 

Bodhi - Ninety seconds Johnny. That's all I ask for, just 90 seconds of your life Johnny, that's it

Harp - Special agent Utah! This is not some job, flipping burgers at the local drive in! Yes, your surf board bothers me! Yes, your approach to this whole damn case bothers me! And yes, you bother me! And Pappas, for the love of Christ. How the hell did I even let you talk me into this whole bone headed idea to begin with?

Utah - I caught my first tube today.. Sir

Pappas - Speak into the microphone, squid brain! 

Harp - NO no no no no! Let me tell you what you've produced over the last two weeks, you two have produced exactly squat! SQUAT! During which time the ex-presidents have robbed two more banks. Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?

Bodhi - Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?

Pappas - Let me tell you something, Harp. I was in this bureau while you were still popping zits on your funny face and jacking off to the lingerie section of the Sears catalog. But there's something I've learned in all my years..

Pappas - Respect for my elders!

Bodhi - If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love

Tyler - Too much testosterone around here

Bodhi - It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt

Pappas - I'm so hungry I could eat the ass end out of a dead rhino. I should have had you get me three of these things!

Bodhi - Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master?

Pappas - Utah! Get me two!

Bodhi - Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true

Point Break Movie 

I felt that the need to write up a blog for this highly entertaining film, as it's special to me and is a feel good film that I always enjoy watching.

Although not my favourite movie of all time (that title belongs to The Shawshank Redemption), it's in my top five and I now have the Blu-ray version and the excellent movie soundtrack in my collection.

So what's so special about Point Break?

I personally think it's the best movie soundtrack of all time and being a lover of rock music, I enjoy the tracks which are very apt for the scenes especially Ratt "Nobody Rides For Free" and Wire Train "I Will Not Fall".

The main characters Patrick Swayze as "Bodhi" the maverick surfer and freedom fighter and Keanu Reeves as "Utah" the maligned FBI agent and quarter back punk play a huge role in the success and popularity, as they are complete opposites who come together and form a superb partnership.

This is certainly a film for adrenaline junkies who enjoy good scenes, excellent car and foot chases with superb camera work, dressing up as ex American presidents to rob banks in order to fund the surfing and skydiving at any given opportunity and is giving one finger to the people who makes the rules and try and kill the human spirit.

The director Kathryn Bigelow has encapsulated a superb film with all the essential ingredients of good acting performances, a good mixture of witty banter and one liners, an excellent selection of music, a feel good movie with the wide and varied selection of high octane scenes and just over two hours of breathtaking end to end twist and turns that leaves you with a very good taste in your mouth.

Why would I want to buy this movie?

Granted, this movie gets a fair amount of air time via the various different film channels, but getting it this in glorious blu-ray is a must, as not only do you get to view it the way it was meant to be watched, but bonuses like deleted scenes and actor comments from all the main people in the film.

I have now enjoyed watching this film about eight times now and I still crave more, as it's a feel good movie and gives you that instant rush especially with the surfing scenes and background music on offer.
