Jul 30 2010In Case You Never Noticed: 'Point Break' and 'Fast and the Furious' Essentially the Same Film
We spent so, so much time calling out Avatar for being Pocahontas Delgo with Wolves, and yet for going on a decade we've all been sitting here idly letting The Fast and the Furious think it's just a shit movie, not a shit ripoff. No longer, Fast and the Furious! This CollegeHumor comparison video should put you in your place. You are Point Break with cars, Fast and the Furious.
Hopefully this means that Point Break sequel will be 2 Furious.
(Thank you, Kevin.)

William Martell said it. And while we're at it, Avatar is pretty similar story. Guy is sent to infiltrate a group, ends up going native with that group and turning against the people that sent him in.

I too want credit for this but not because I thought of it just because I have an animal brain and am attracted to shiny things or fast moving small animals. Point break was fucking awesome once upon a time.

Point Break is very Effin Awesome!
But it still doesn't take away from the fact that F&F just totally copied that formula.
HOORAY ME!

Wow... It only took CH 10 years to figure this out? The first time I saw F&F all I could think was.... It's fuckin' Point Break... with cars.

Pocahontas is not excited about a final political correctness strong appeal to all, and the pieces are Duff. That said, there are enough incidental pleasures to pass the time pleasantly.

Looks like those kids at college humor read "Save the Cat" - the writer of that book mentioned that years ago and compares other movie similarities.

I said this right after they released Point Break... I remember thinking... they will probably make this same movie, but with cars one day.

I saw Keanu in Point Break and thought man if he were only blue living in nature. Now that would be some movie.
