BODHI IS BACK! Here’s The First Trailer For The ‘Point Break’ Remake

Point Break is a fantastic movie. It’s an all-time classic. It basically launched Keanu Reeves to superstardom. It also made every Mountain Dew-chugging, rollerblade-wearing 14-year-old aspire to be as cool as Johnny Utah, a crime-fighting “good guy” who could shred SoCal gnar. It had catchphrases like this, that just worked while shit-talking in the middle school lunch room on BookIt Pizza Hut Pizza day:

It also had this guy, an irreplaceable god amongst Bros.

The Swayze is gone, God rest his soul. But the fire of his memory burns bright in many-a Bro’s heart every day.

Nearly 25 years after the original was released, today we get our first look at the Warner Brothers remake of Point Break. It stars Luke Bracey as Johnny Utah and Edgar Ramirez as Bohdi fighting crime while pursuing a grab bag of extreme sports: Wing suit BASE jumping, snowboarding, surfing. Hell, at one point someone gets pushed off a cliff.

I’m sure it will be wonderful to a younger generation that doesn’t understand Swayze’s majesty and charm. Personally, I’m prepared to be disappointed. Who made the decision to bring back such an iconic movie without Swayze? Hollywood did the same thing with Red Dawn and it was basically garbage. Point Break will be missing the best thing about Point Break.

No matter how good it is, it feels kind of like pissing on someone’s grave.
