The last thing Johnny Utah says to Bodhi is “Vaya con Dios”.
When Utah followed Bodhi over an embankment into one of the L.A. aqueducts of cinematic fame, he re-aggravated the knee injury that ended his football career.
BUT THEY WERE ALSO REAL . Swayze, who participated in skydiving as a hobby, was told to stop for insurance purposes once production began. Producers coaxed him into the agreement with the promise of letting the star do one actual skydive onscreen.
Bigelow’s then-husband and collaborator on the film (they rewrote the end together) James Cameron said in his Terminator 2: Judgment Day commentary that Bodhi killed himself at the end of Point Break .

Although the final scene of the film is set at Bells Beach , Victoria, Australia, the scene was filmed at Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, located in Cannon Beach , Oregon.
Keanu Reeves has said that he has kept up with surfing since he enjoyed it so much in the film. He is likely not doing the same stunts in his personal life, but Keanu Reeves can still actually surf .
And how he was a real-life Bodhi, actually jumping out of airplanes in his personal life while he was making the movie. Obviously “ Point Break ” is one of the movies fans most tell Reeves they loved. As he says, “All the time I run into people and they say ‘I started jumping out of planes because of “ Point Break ”.
Michael Biehn revealed in an interview that there were briefly talks of him co-starring as Bohdi, but plans fell through. Patrick Swayze originally auditioned for the part of Johnny Utah before eventually landing the role of Bodhi. Patrick Swayze was an accomplished skydiver, and took part in the big skydiving scene.
The 50 Year Storm event has been unsuccessful in running for the past two years . The event channels the fabled history of Bells Beach , with the name a cheeky reference to the 1991 cult movie, Point Break, where the lead character Bodhi paddles out at Bells in the ” 50 – year storm ” never to return.
Lori Petty and Keanu Reeves were in Point Break(1991) together.
Point Break is the name Tony Stark gave Thor in the first Avengers film because of his resemblance to Patrick Swayze in the 1991 film, Point Break .
The original has become such a classic that it warrants a remake, and many people wonder if either version of Point Break is a true story . As awesome as that would be, neither the original nor the remake were based on an actual story . Sorry, folks.
A point break is a surf break where the shoreline extends out to sea creating a headland. The wave hits the headland or jetty and begins to peel along the extending shoreline creating a wave that is long, well-formed and unlikely of closing out or breaking in front of itself.
Plot: Reeves is Johnny Utah, a curiously named FBI agent who must go undercover as a surfer to infiltrate a gang of surfer-bankrobbers led by Swayze, a.k.a. Bodhi — short for bodhisattva, an enlightened being in Buddhism.
