Point Break Quote: “You gonna jump or jerk off?” – Johnny Utah

Sometimes, a laughable idea makes for a fascinating film. Surf gangs that double as bank robbers? Keanu Reeves as a tough-talking undercover FBI agent who also happened to be a football star name Johnny Utah? Gary Busey swimming? But then something magical happens. And it’s called Patrick Swazey.
