Young Patrick Even younger Keanu Gary Busey has been old all my life 😂😂😂 These are the movies that helped make the 90s the last great decade. I'm so glad i was there. What a time to be alive. ♥️♥️♥️
I miss Patrick, he defined the 80,s & 90s, a Hella human being. R.I.P. 😢. Such a tragedy. I'm literally tears., this movie had suan impact on me in my late teens. That i took off to Mexico and lived, really lived for a yr..
I started jumping a couple months before this movie came out so I understood a little what the guys in the movie were doing and how amazing it was. Point Break brought LOTS of new jumpers out. During the next years I saw Patrick Swayze a few times at the SoCal drop zones, and he was a very nice, very regular guy; just another jumper. But I admit looking across a 12-jumper formation one time and thinking to myself, "Hey, cool, that's Patrick Swayze!"
Patrick Swayze. What an icon. Such range. Being in Ghost, Road House, and playing Bodhi. No new movie remake can replace or even capture a hint of what this movie meant to a lot of us. TOP 10 90's movies 💙
To quote Johnny Utah, "Amazing, fucking amazing." I don't care if this is realistic, it's so peaceful. Just an awesome piece of film. The music, cinematography, the actors reactions, I love this clip. I don't do drugs, I'm not an extreme sports guy, but that is a downright eophoric piece of film right there.
I love Point Break. It inspired me to do my first jump. I saw this movie 10 times at the cinema. One of the best films ever. I even have an original UK Quad poster on my wall. We miss you Mr Swayze. Bodhi rules.
I saw this movie 10 times at The Point Cinema in Milton Keynes. What a classic movie. And to jump out of a plain is a blast. I luv it. WE miss you Patrick.
Keanu didn't dive with them. He had a stunt double taking his place. Swayze is awesome. He actually did the final dive on his own without permission from the studio
I did my very first skydive after seeing this back in the day. One of the most exciting things I've done in my life. The school was Air Adventures West in Taft CA. Except for Patrick Swayze, the actual real jumpers in the movie were seasoned instructors who worked there. There were even pictures of them on jumps from the scenes in the office, it was very cool. Patrick Swayze actually did his own jumps. The jump footage of him in the movie having fun was real.
he ends up getting the one he started with, I remember tracking where the bags were when I was a kid when watching this not sure if they were pulling a fast one on him. lol. Such a boss film.
Its an even more indescribable feeling when the chute doesn't work. Some people have actually survived impact. Now that my friend is the ultimate thrill seeker and meaning of "life is on the wire - the rest is just waiting."
fantastic scene! the music and scenary makes it. ive only ever done a 10,000ft tandem dive. would love to go again! swayze was also an acomplished skydiver! rip
Exactly, it's because your brain doesn't have any objects to compare speeds and calculate to like it does when it comes to rollar coasters or driving. Your brain doesn't realize you are moving. So it just feels like you are stuck in mid air.
I always loved the way Swayze called for him as if nothing happened. In the previous scene Reeves tells him hes an undercover cop spying on him, the irony of it is funny as fuck.
Just watching this scene, I think it's one of the best in movie history. Just look at the camera shots and the back drop while the scene in in progress. A person can say U can't get no closer to god if you believe in him and that has to be true. I truly love this scene and it give me clarity each and every time I watch it. 5 stars to the director and the actors that took part in movie history........
I think that would an awesome way to tie the knot skydiving is just so addictive and such a friggin awesome rush! I so cant wait to do it again next summer
Never realized how the 1st few bars of the score when they jump out of the plane bears a striking resemblance to some of John Barry's score from James Bond: Moonraker, which also featured some similar skydiving scenes in the pre-credits sequence.
my all time favourite scene in point break. after i first saw the scene i just had to try sky diving which i did a few years later at headcorn in maidstone, kent (10,000 ft tandom freefall out of a perfectly good airplane) the music helps the epicness of the shot too
Even though this isn't my favourite film of all time, actually far from it. I still, however regard this as my favourite movie scene of all time because of it's ability to stir up emotions within me. The music is superb, the acting and stunts were on point. This section of the film just felt 'special'.
This is an awesome scene but the most unrealistic part is that when you are free falling you cannot hear a thing, certainly cannot talk to one another lol.
Yup. This scene gave me inspiration to sky dive myself. A couple of goofs though. When Johnny looks down, his body stayed parallel to the ground. That wouldn't be possible. The first thing they tell you is, don't look down. Look to the horizon. You look down, airflow will flip you upside down. That occurred during my dive. When we jumped out, I immediately looked down and we flipped upside down. At one point, I was facing up looking at the plane. The instructor flipped us back pretty quickly. 30 seconds of freefall, followed by floating through air.
@TokyoKazama glad u feel that way. I saw pt break in 91 and did my 1st jump in 92 in gananoque canada. I went on to do 600+ jumps. My last jump was 7 years ago in lake elsinore california. I have done probably 75 jumps where i filmed skydives and many like this. last yr i went back and looked at jumps i filmed in new york,canada, and arizona. I had opportunity to meet tom sanders in 1999 world freefall convention in quincy,illinois. tom did great job filming pt break. im amateur next to tom.
This movie inspired me to take my first jump, it's something I've always wanted to do, but this scene was a big inspiration. I only learned after about how incorrect it is. Free fall time is way too long, first timer wouldn't jump solo or do formation flying, nor pull that low, can't talk etc, first timer would never land in water . But dammit it is FUN to watch. I got 5 jumps in before cancer came and made it so I could never jump again. If I'm lucky, I can get back to it after I die.
@OfficerBigJoey The song's just called, "Skydive" track 16 on the soundtrack by Mark Isham. And I agree, it fits the scene perfectly and there's some really nice subtle basskicks if you have a good subwoofer.
Just watched this film for the first time, this scene is one of the best scenes in any film. Its just i dont know simple, as the other guy said spiritual. You feel as if you're up in the sky with them... Great music too, really goes with the scene. Mark Isham is a genius.
i went on my first FREE FALL jump the next ay after I saw that scene ... i didn't do fake way with person riding me lol i learned correct way LOTS work and school "LOOK reach PULL" will never leave my mind!
If it happens in Imax, brah, I'm there with my tie-dye tee, 3 quarter cut cargo pants, quiksilver bright yellow & blue hoodie and my hair grown out to my shoulders. I wanna go back to the 90's....if only for 123-of-the-most-glorious-minutes that ever occurred in my life. And I'll probably cry manly-happy tears!
Im forty and this film is the shit swayze was the man when i was a teenager and still is in my opinion im even prepared to overlook dirty dancing as my wife loves it. In fact she loves it so much we had time of our life as our first dance and needless to say i looked an idiot. R.I.P Dude. oh and two words Road House!
@cannywf1 Also depends on the plane. Larger planes (15-22 people) usually jump from 13,500 feet. Smaller airports tend to use smaller planes (4-5 people) that go to around 10,500 feet.
