cocheese 0 #6 February 25, 2006 Yea but the Dead Presidents rule. Like Johnny Utah wearing a suit at Bridge Day and all those guys with their President masks. That's what makes the movie worth keeping~ the bank robbery scene. Where else has Ronald Reagan played a better part ?Yea i'm high so ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFKING 4 #7 February 25, 2006 Yeah, so the skydiving scenes aren't that realistic, but the aerial scenery is gorgeous. And I'll admit I enjoy the movie every time I see it. Plus, it was the final prompt that got me into this beautiful endeavor we call skydiving. I'll PM my address. Don"When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

cocheese 0 #9 February 25, 2006 My friend and i were talking about that last night. About how the dz phone rings more often when movies like that are on. Our big question ?What were you thinking about skydiving BEFORE you saw the movie ? And why didn't you persue the game sooner ? In other words: what was it in the movie that was so freakin powerful to motivate you to finally go jump ?How many jumps do you have ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other words: what was it in the movie that was so freakin powerful to motivate you to finally go jump ? How many jumps do you have ?The movie dropzone was more my generations point break. I saw it when I was younger and thought skydiving would be fun. That thought got lost in the back of my mind as I was several years from actually being able to skydive. Later when friends talked about wanting to go out and jump I instantly thought about the movie and how much fun it looked like it would be. I ended up making my jump about a month later and am right around 100 now. Skydiving isn't something that is just on your average whuffos minds. They never even think about it unless they see a parachute flying or see it in a movie or something. They see the movie and google skydiving and then bam they are on the phone scheduling that tandem.

"I was told that there would be no math....during the debate....however, I am prepared to answer any questions you may have....perhaps something about me and Betty ?" I saw photos of Johnny Carson's jump in my early teens....had thought about wanting to do it after that, but nobody would go with me. Then a friend and I saw Point Break in the early 90s and decided to do it.....but we couldn't ever get our schedules together, lived in different states, didn't think about it that often, blah, blah, blah... My friend died in December 1999 from cancerous melanoma, and I basically did my first jump in 2000 as much as a tribute to him and our 20-year friendship as I did it for me. I never thought I'd do a second, I just wanted to see if I would actually let go of the plane at crunch-time. QuoteIn other words: what was it in the movie that was so freakin powerful to motivate you to finally go jump ? The visuals from altitude, and the gung-ho enthusiasm in the acting....although it might not have been "acting" as I've found out during my jumping career....I still get a huge adrenaline rush when that door opens. QuoteHow many jumps do you have ? 223. Quote "Thank you, Don....you are officially off the Budweiser Hot Seat." Thanks, Mr. Cochese. Don"When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band.

Frenchy68 0 #18 February 28, 2006 QuoteI'm going through my old movies and have Point Break on on VHS. If you're interested PM your address to me and you can have it. I'll even pay shipping. I am getting sick and tired of all the Point Break bashing. Although maybe not one of the 10 best movies of all time, this movie has the merit of combining suspense, action, and beautiful love scenes. Yes, maybe the skydiving scene is not 100% accurate, but it is damn close to what a skydive really is. I would also like to point out Keanu's performance in the movie, which is, in my opinion, one great piece of acting. From the begining to the end, he captures the essence of his character, and takes us through a wide and always surprising range of emotions. I rank this movie on par with classics such as Poison Ivy III: The last seduction, among others. So please, people, if you have nothing nice to say about what is a great movie, STFU!

Similar to Linda Lovelace's performance in Deep Throat. It's about time that these movies get the respect that they deserve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
