Point Break was ridiculous.

But it's still a great flick. An all time classic in my book, despite its flaws.

That scene starting in the airplane where Utah goes after Bodi is just epic.

They did a good job of hiding the stuntman's parachute. After repeated viewings, it's obviously under the shirt he was wearing but when we first saw it, it was impressive.

Today, they'd just digitally erase it out.

In '91, Point Break really raised the bar in filming action scenes, especially stuff like parachuting and surfing where you didn't get too many takes to get it right.
