With big waves, fast chases, and even a Red Hot Chili Pepper in the mix (Anthony Kiedis makes a cameo as a hostile surfer), Point Break is the ultimate guilty pleasure film.
Not only is it a great guilty pleasure film, but Point Break was ranked on Empire’s list of the 100 best movies of all time. “Point Break is a fundamental pillar of '90s pop culture cool, and one of the most memorable action blockbusters ever made,” the outlet shared. Pointing to Bigelow's "frenetic, confident direction," the review concluded, "We get intense foot chases, fiery shoot-outs, epic surfing, and a spot of light skydiving. It shouldn't work: extreme sports, bank robberies and male bonding? But it does, every time."
‘Point Break’ is not a typical action film
Released in July 1991, Point Break earned over $83 million at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. While it didn’t come close to the box office take of other ‘90s thrillers such as Terminator 2, True Lies, Die Hard With a Vengeance, and Independence Day, the film became a cult classic after finding a second life on cable TV and DVD.
Swayze also felt that Point Break set itself apart from typical action movies. In a 1991 interview posted by the Bobbie Wegant Archive, the actor said, “I only want to do films with, you know, that say something positive to the world."
