    It's an epic film and I reckon the reason it stands the test of time, is mainly because the action for the most part is grounded in reality, the fight scenes felt hard hitting and real - think the bit in the garden where his face is being pushed towards the lawnmower, and the foot chase was frantic and intense.

    a forerunner for the bourne movies??

    As a rule, I hate Patrick Swayze but I do love Point Break. I can't remember liking him in anything else, he always struck me as a smarmy git. I did however enjoy his performance in Donnie Darko because his character turns out to be a Paedophile and I though, yeah, I can believe that of Patrick Swayze.

    He was good in that one where the Ruskies invaded Arizona or somewhere.

    Patrick Swayze in RoadHouse is another brilliant slice of action cheese where he plays a kung-fu expert who's a bouncer at a bar.

    I watched a Bio on him and he had a very tough life in ways and was a gentleman. His struggle with de drink killed em in the end but I never would have called him smarmy. His wife and he could not have kids and that had a big affect on him too I believe. sad though seeing him in point break on the wave crest scene and then in his final days.

    Ray Winstone is the only name I recognise in the list of actors. Why did they do a re-make, the original stands the test of time, imo :(
