Was it really necessary to remake Point Break?

Fuckin A.

I'll bet that it's all CGI cartoons and people who can't speak english or ebonics.

Not everyone thought the English Patient was a masterpiece.

there was a hollywood writer on here explaining this how they dont want to spend the money to promote a new movie.

The premise already sucks.

"Extreme sports" international liberators
lol gay.


The original is epic.

As a surfer, there are very few movies that do the sport justice. Patrick Swayze nailed this role..

excellent idea except nobody would recognize Paulson.

he'd have to wear a goldman sachs t-shirt.

I just watched that video of the best Point Break scenes

It's so awesomely bad.

what about "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?

it captured surfers better than "Point Break"!

Not my generation. I'm an "X"er like these guys.

Maybe to those who don't surf dude.
It's overthetop cliche. Makes it gnarly bro.

OK, I just watched the preview. I was wrong. No ebonics but Bhodi does seem to be Portugeuse or something. Looks OK. I might watch, but no fucking way will it be near the original.

It's not the same without Keanu and Swayze.

So what are you A movies?

^THIS^

A remake should never have been allowed!

They should only ever remake shit films. There are plenty of films out there that had a great idea but were badly executed.

Point Break is NOT one of those.

Loved Point Break!

Sick of all the crap remakes in recent years, Total Recall, Robocop and Red Dawn spring to mind.

The movie industry is just that: an industry.

Does Ford really care if you don't completely like the car you buy from them? Not really. All they want is to sell you the car.

Do the studios really care if you love a movie or not? Not really. As long as you have paid for your ticket, who cares?

If they could, some studios would simply do remake after remake after remake, as long as the money was there.

However, if you go back through film history, you will see this trend repeated. Movies made in the 20s were remade in the 30s, etc. Some of that was due to the introduction of sound, but it also had to do with money.

You are a studio exec. You can make a shitty movie costing $50m, hoping to gross $300m, or you can make a great movie for $175m, hoping to $300m. Which challenge do you want?

I AM AN FBI AGENT!!!

Good point, I never thought of it this way.

I love you Johnny, but when you talk you sound slightly retarded

The first was was a classic. Such bad acting.

It will be fucked,just like every other remake.

The Entertainment Industrial Complex needs to die.

Except it wasn't a 'B movie' though. B movies are films that go straight to VHS/DVD/Bluray and never air in the theaters... Point Break took in $84 million at the box office while the film had a budget of $24 million... It did well...

If you are a director, and can get some stupid executive to shell out the money, then why not? Hell, if I could sucker some rich guy into paying for my round the world trip, I'd do it too. You know what movie needs to be remade? Around the world in 80 days. As soon as I can find some douchebag to fund it, I'm off!

It did?

I remember that movie, but I was just a kid when I saw it and thought it was boring.
