Point Break 1991 FILMING LOCATIONS Then & Now

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

Hands down, my all-time favorite movie. I don't think it can ever be topped. Best movie quote I've ever heard: "Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.."

[@Baker_tL]

Great quote, also my favorite movie. I still go back and watch it every once in a while, still gives me the same feeling every time! I miss Patrick :/

I wanna go to that food stand where you can get 2 lemonades 2 meatball subs and a tuna on wheat for 7 bucks 😂

[@kbm-zw5jd]

That was $7.84! I watch this movie probably 4 times a year. Just saw it again last week. Just a simple and fun movie with great action scenes, great soundtrack, and NO political correctness. I miss those days.

[@grantmitchel]

The meatball subs are great

[@randall9000]

Utah! Get me two!

[@JEBEmpires]

Every damn time it makes me want some as well!

[@cleetusvandame]

My favorite movie of all time! Not even the remake came close to it. The music and some of the scenes are still remembered today. I have the movie poster in my gameroom and still watch the movie regularly. People always give Keanu a difficult time about his acting but along side Patrick Swayze (rip great one) and Gary Busey, it was the perfect trio. My favorite line: we'll get him when he gets back! He's not coming back! Thank you Patrick for giving us memories that will last a lifetime and thank you so much for sharing this with all us! ❤

[@NickP]

I agree, it’s a great classic with awesome staying power. A mature, non stop Adrenalin rush with great characters. They knew how to develop characters back then, so they would bond with the audience. It’s my favorite Swayze flick for sure, and Keanu for that matter. At times lol Keanu was a little off beat w his delivery but overall he did a great job. I can’t see anyone else playing that part. I’ll see you in the next life, is my favorite line. Thanks for the great feedback.

[@NickP]

And of course, the unforgettable performance of Gary Busey👍

[@cleetusvandame]

@@NickP and I'll add the amazing tune at the end of the movie, nobody rides for free! How true is that to the movie and real life. Thanks again for sharing Nik. Looking forward to your next video.

[@NickP]

@@cleetusvandame I love that track, and it was perfectly chosen to cap the movie. Thanks again, I’ll keep them coming!

[@christophercarlton3377]

I watch a LOT of filming locations on KZbin. And I have to say in all honesty, you line these shots up PERFECTLY! It's really cool to see how much hard work and dedication you put into these videos. Keep wm coming, dude!

[@NickP]

Wow, thank you! I will keep them coming!

[@chrism6500]

One of my 53 year old favorite movies ! I often think if I could only have 10 movies for the rest of my life , this is one of them ! Love Point Break !

[@Bringos76]

Great video! Thanks for posting. I talked to the writer Peter Illif a few years ago and he told me this about how he got the character names: "I'm a huge 49er fan. Joe Montana, Johnny Utah. A dear friend of mine I was waiting table with while writing the first draft helped me with ideas as we would cut lemons and prep for our shifts. His name was Bodhi. He came up with a lot of Swayze's stuff. The restaurant we worked in was called Angies. It was run by Angelo Pappas, a greek man who taught me how to drink Ouzo, which was part of the early Busey character, but later written out. Tyler was a hot chick I was crazy about who never gave me the time of day. Harp... hmm.... that i forget."

[@NickP]

That’s great… many thanks for the awesome feedback and info!

[@Bringos76]

@@robmanson6210 Me too. Peter also said the ending was a re-shoot: "You can tell by the hair. Studio felt first ending did not have a good fight. So months later it was redone. But Keanu had grown his hair for Bill & Ted 2, and Swayze cut his for City of Joy. But it was cool, because it suggests passage of time."

[@bernstyles]

I always thought the names in this movie are very cool. Babbit, Pappas, Tyler Ann Enticott, Agent Deets, Warchild.

[@troybender1936]

​@@Bringos76you can also tell Reeves has a lot of extra weight on as well, always wondered about that

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

​@@troybender1936Hmmm, I never noticed that.

[@joseyeastwood]

My favorite Keanu movie in he has been in some banger's great vlog Rest in Peace Patrick Swayze.

[@NickP]

Def my fav with them as well

[@DudeEnglish]

Who would have thought such a crazy plot line would produce such an iconic and amazing movie!

[@leeturiano4419]

And you can clearly see this movie's concept inspired the entire Fast and Furious franchise.

[@NickKnatterton.]

The cast, the plot, the SOUNDTRACK, the feeling you have when you watch the movie is beyond words, like when you are back in the 90s.

[@nasigoreng553]

Amen brother Im totally with you

[@derekireland5596]

I was a teenager when it came out, i love the movie so much best ever movie

[@MrNathanIL]

exactly. my whole surfing history is based on that though it's not exactly considered as a "surfing movie".

[@mancunianinlondon]

One of my favourite 90's films. They don't make them like that anymore. Great location hunt there! Doesn't look as glamorous as it does in the film; maybe that's movie magic! Thanks so much

[@rocknrolladventures]

It's because of the sunshine contrast

[@rocknrolladventures]

Also a lot of these locations in l.a from films in the 90s the roads have all been modernised the signage is different all the different decor or buildings have been modernised and have a lot of health and safety features and regulations and a lot of things don't seem as bare and open as they once did in the 90s

[@mancunianinlondon]

@@rocknrolladventures when areas evolve they often lose their uniqueness, open space or big sky. The other week I visited my old university campus (I left there in 1997) and it has also lost some its appeal. Fewer open spaces, less greenery, and obscured views. This movie though was a classic. Remakes of these classic films often fall on their ass; the actors are not as tailor made for the roles and the storylines are stepped up in brutality and swearing or political correctness. I really hope they never try to remake Jaws or Aliens!

[@purefoldnz3070]

the one film that inspired 10 horrible fast and furious movies.

[@oscar17891]

@@rocknrolladventures I was thinking almost the same. Compared to just 30 years ago the cities are becoming claustrophobic, everywhere there's a traffic light, a camera, a barrier of some sort. Ugh

I always visit Leo Carrillo when I'm on my annual trip to LA from Liverpool, England. It's my ultimate "happy place", such a beautiful place. The sheer amount of movies and TV shows that have been filmed there is incredible! When I stand on that beach and look out to the west, especially as the sun is going down, everything is alright in the world again! Plus it's free and they don't sting you for 45 bucks for parking......Unlike Paradise cove lol
