Oh dear.

Not good. Not good at all. Film for the GoPro psikkezt editz brigade!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Will Keeeeaaaannnnuuuu be in it Dude ?

Surfer (magazine) savaged it 😆 but they werent impressed with the first one either.

psikkezt editz; what does that mean? who knew a post it note salesman was so hardcore?

Some films must never, ever, be remade – Point Break is one of them. Besmirches the memory of Patrick Swayze I tell you.

But then I’m a sucker for surf related films – Blue Juice and now Chasing Mavericks are go to movies on a wet Sunday afternoon for me.

Sacrilege.

I’m not gonna paddle to New Zealand etc. etc.

Convert can I recommend Step into Liquid for your next wet Sunday afternoon.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Is there an emoticon for sighing then forlornly shaking ones head and looking into the distance despairing about the desire for hollywood to remake a pretty bloody good film into one by the guy who did the total recall remake?

“He’s a modern savage”

Pigface, the p is silent, as in “the bath”.

Oh 😳 😆 you are rad to the power of sick

Looks like it is going to be a leave the brain at the door sort of film. I think if you pretend it’s not called Point Break it might be a good rainy Sunday film.

why…..but why?

I kids love the Fast movies so I sat through the first one, its Point Break with cars not surf.

Point break is one of the best, worst movies ever made…..

The only redeeming aspect I can find in the trailer is that it features Big Vern Ray Winstone with a shootah:

Against my better judgement I played that trailer……….. why is it called Point Break? That’s not Point Break – that’s an entirely different film that’s borrowed the character names from the real Point Break. Weird.

^I’m with you on that @convert.

Malvern Rider that is genuinely awesome, there can be no answer to that…except maybe the start of this vid:

Just an aside, here… Are you familiar with the eponymous gang of gentlemen from Scotland who have that moniker attached to their musical efforts, GrahamS?

Yep, think I heard them play in Edinburgh at some doo or other.

Wrong, just wrong. Just watched the trailer and just feel dirty. Bodhi should have died with Patrick Swayze. No one else should be allowed to be Bodhi!!

TBF though, i’d probably like it if I was a kid seeing that for the first time……Shudders…..it’s still wrong though!!

but an entirely fake ‘Merican accent?!?

I don’t think the target audience will be phased by that.

As much as I do not want to see a remake … I’ll happily kidnap the short dark haired young lady again

“I hate violence. That’s why I need Rosie,” Bodhi explains. “Rosie is a mechanism. Once you set him in motion, he will not stop. He’s got this gift of blankness. But when 3 o’clock comes, he will gut her like a pig and try not to get any on his shoes.”

I’ve defo got the gift of blankness…. 😆

Ah. Gentleman top left in the photo – ex touring keyboard player with The Pretenders in the late eighties. We have some shared history.

Is it bad that I enjoyed the trailer? I enjoyed the original, but that is a different film entirely just with the same names, but ‘looks’ good fun at the same time

Anyway – trailer looks good if you forget the original.

I’d buy that for a dollar.

but an entirely fake ‘Merican accent?!?

Yep, that really doesn’t work well.

Mind you I think he peaked in Scum…..

The guy below him was good in Total Recall and Starship Troopers:

I thought point break was pretty dire tbh and this looks like it will just be a red bull stunt fest with a vague plot attached to it

I have zero interest in every watching point break again but that trailer was better than i expected and i suspect i would watch it on a lazy sunday with a hangover.

If they are going to remake a classic action surf movie then why not do this one:

GrahamS – Bode Miller excepted!!

It isn’t / will never be as good/anywhere near the original Point Break. As a standalone film or maybe a “Point Break 2″……maybe.
I will certainly go and watch it. (The original is my top fave film)

Dammit. Read this, loved the original, have it at home and thought I would watch tonight.

Except I can’t as I have it on VHS and I don’t have a bloody video player anymore! 😉

Remake the what, now? Point Break?!? No way!!!! That’s like remaking dogs, or cheese – for all the imperfections, they’re perfect as they are and should be left well enough alone. 🙁

Remake the what, now? Point Break?!? No way!!!!

doesnt anybody in Hollywood have any original stories left?

Enjoyed the original but this looks a different movie only with a similar theme, they should bin the title and call it something different, The Dead Presidents would do. Still looks interesting mind.

It’s like…….. No way dude.

Other than that I’m speechless.
