Will Point Break 2 Be 100% Pure Adrenaline? If Not, What Percent Pure Adrenaline Will It Be?

pointbreakstars.jpgWhen I heard they were making a sequel to 80’s early-90’s cop-and-robber surfing classic Point Break, my first reaction was suspicion and misgiving. I mean, the plot and cast details were sketchy at best: no mention of Keanu Reeves, no mention of The Swayze (or for that matter, what the f*ck ever happened to Bodhi), no mention of Busey. I mean come on, are we gonna get Gary f*cking Busey or not? All I knew was it’s called Point Break: Indo and is set somewhere in Asia. Luckily our friend, master BWE panelist, and fellow Point Break aficionado Paul Scheer got his hands on some more info:

When Billy Dalton, military special ops and star surfer, is disqualified from the pro-surfing tour, he takes off for the coast of Bali looking for the perfect wave. While there he’s recruited by a private security force who are trying to find a gang known as The Bush Administration, surfing outlaws and modern day pirates who work like “The Ex-Presidents,” a bank robbing crew from Malibu twenty years ago.

Hmm, not too bad. I wonder who this “Billy Dalton” is though. I mean, that sounds like a Swayze character name if I’ve ever heard one. And “The Bush Administration”? Way to keep it topical, guys! To be honest, I’m up for pretty much any movie that involves extreme surfing outlaws and robbers whose pose as presidents, but the fact it is it just wouldn’t be the same without the Swayze. After all – if you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.
