Point Break Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Point Break!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Keanu Reeves has been killing it at the box office in recent years (and possibly in the video game world too if Cyberpunk 2077 stops glitching.) With franchises like The Matrix and John Wick under his belt, Reeves is an absolute action star. But thirty years ago, he was still trying to prove himself as a viable lead for those kinds of movies. And Point Break did just that!
Point Break definitely does raise some questions though. Like why is the famous football star with a bad knee Johnny Utah chosen to go undercover, while ALSO using his real name? What were the odds of the very first person he encountered on the beach having a direct connection to the bank robbers he’s looking for? How many terrible decisions can Utah make in a single movie? Why are we suddenly skydiving?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Point Break! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Actually it made the scene way more intense. Everyone knew who each other was and the whole parachute shuffling part made you wonder what was going to happen. Then after they made it to the ground and everyone seemed cool with each other because of their "brotherhood", Brody pulled the blackmail to join in a robbery for Tylers life. I think it fit perfectly well.

Not all of them. Tom Cruise is 2 years older than Keanu. Jet Li is 1 year older than Keanu. JCVD is 4 years older. Hugh Jackman is 4 years younger. They can probably still do action movies.

[@macdeus2601]

I think what they were going for with the plot was an idea that Johnny is kind of unhappy with his life as an FBI agent, and that he's tempted to switch sides and run away to live with the bank-robbing surfers because surfing is more fun than investigating crimes, and because of how unbelievably cool Patrick Swayze is. That's why Bodhi doesn't just kill him immediately--he thinks he might be able to recruit Johnny into his gang, or at least convince him to betray the FBI and let them go. They didn't necessarily pull off this theme with complete success, though--perhaps because Keanu Reeves' ability to portray a character going through an emotional conflict would require him to be able to portray any emotions at all in the first place--so I can understand the confusion.

[@ChristophBrinkmann]

If they didn't convey that message, they didn't mean that message. They could establish what you're talking about with one sentence of dialogue.

[@jekw23]

@@ChristophBrinkmannyeah I didn’t get that from the movie at all (although it’s an interesting theory). Never felt there was any thought of turning Johnny.

[@bodhixxx1]

My thoughts exactly Bodhi is a adrenaline junkie and when he finds out Utah is FBI that opened up another door to his addiction like he Told Utah in the Van when Utah said " I cannot do this" (meaning robbing a bank as a FBI agent) Bodhi replies "sure you can who knows you might like it" Utah was stuck between to dimensions investigating crimes and following laws OR live for the Moment like Bodhi does and use the system to fund their lifestyles. It was foreshadowing when Tyler said " you have the kamikaze look Johnny I have seen it before Bodhi can smell it a mile away he will take you to the edge.......past" Bodhi comes in and says "Johnny has his own demons" which means Bodhi could see Utah was really at a crossroads in life. It is hands down my favorite movie of all time.

to be fair: they narrowed it down to surfers of a specific beach analysing the toxins from a hair sample

[@joeschembrie9450]

You probably don't care for a direct answer, but since I'm an engineer, I have to give you one. 1. There are 3.3 million surfers in the US. 2. 29% of US surfers are in California. 3. 19% of surfers are female. Multiply all three factors, and you get 181,000 female surfers in California. So the odds are 181,000 to 1 against.

But don't pitch the sequals, there can be only one.

@@gm2407 Well, maybe the show, just to bring more attention to the awesomeness that is Methos.

@@Kaefer1973 In fairness the third one is the second best of the series of films. But is not as good as the first.

How about a Pitch Meeting for another Keanu Reeves action movie, Speed

Please make a pitch meeting for the 2007 movie “Shoot ‘Em Up” a movie where even carrots are deadly weapons I think you can have a lot of fun with that one

[@16shogunelitegreen]

it's a good movie but i would watch that pitch meeting

[@TheGoldenCapstone]

Yeah but Shoot 'em Up was a parody of action movies. It's wacky on purpose.

[@F4stHeroes]

Looking at the views of every other video it’s pretty clear everyone is here just for the pitch meetings lol. Great work Ryan, this deserves its own channel.

The name “Johnny Utah” isn’t so different from “Duncan Idaho” from Dune. In fact it’s a little less ridiculous.

[@seansimmans4055]

Pitch Meetings have become so sharp (or tight) that you can barely enjoy the very early episodes. This is a compliment. It began as one guy talking to himself... And now Writer and Producer have evolved to have very distinct personalities. They're both maniacs, for certain, but now they each have very nuanced tics. Just top-tier stuff, guy(s).

This movie and him finding Bodhi and Tyler on his first day was the biggest barely an inconvenience in the history of barely an inconveniences

I'd love to see a pitch meeting on How To Train Your Dragon

[@kuhchung]

He's mentioned in an interview somewhere that there are some movies where they establish the rules and then it's all tight storytelling, and there's no outrageous decisions he can mock in a Pitch Meeting. He explicitly cited How to Train Your Dragon as one of them

[@mookymookymooo]

"okay, but like, why" new catchphrase

[@mateo7650]

The moment when the pitch guy says... why did they knock on the door before the raid instead of going in with the element of surprise! And my response is... huh, why did they do that

so happy one of my favorite movies lead to one of the best pitch meetings

[@Colinkrauss1]

I like Pitch Meetings for movies I haven’t seen even more than ones for the movies I have seen. When you’ve seen the movie, you can critique the Pitch or explain away plot holes. But when you haven’t seen it, you have to just take Ryan at his word that movies are exactly how he describes, and it’s usually a little funnier and over the top than if you knew what actually happened.

[@jackobrien47]
