Point Break (1991)

Point Break is a 1991 action film starring Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, a former college football quarterback and young FBI agent who goes undercover into the Southern California surfing community in order to root out a bank robbery crew known as the "Ex-Presidents", who bear characteristics of the culture. Patrick Swayze co-stars as Bohdi, an experienced surfer who develops a friendship with Utah. The film was directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) and was executive produced by James Cameron. A feature film remake starring Edgar Ramirez and Luke Bracey was released in 2015.

== SIG-Sauer P226 ==
FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) carries a 9x19mm SIG-Sauer P226 as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time Point Break was filmed, the P226 and the more compact SIG-Sauer P228 were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm Smith & Wesson 1076 proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and lets him escape. This scene was parodied in the film Hot Fuzz.
==Freedom Arms Model 83==
Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) carries a Freedom Arms Model 83 single-action revolver in .454 Casull as his weapon of choice in the film. At the time this film was released, this was the most powerful production revolver available.
==Charter Arms Undercover==
Special Agent Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) carries an older-model 2" Charter Arms Undercover in .38 Special as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably in the climax. Despite being a veteran member of the bureau, this is unlikely choice for an FBI Agent. The same or very similar revolver without front sight can be seen in 8 Million Ways to Die.
==Detonics ScoreMaster==
Roach (James LeGros) carries a 2nd Generation Detonics ScoreMaster as his weapon-of-choice during the bank robberies.
==Smith & Wesson 6906==
The off-duty cop (Anthony Mangano) in the bank carries an older-model Smith & Wesson 6906 with a squared trigger guard.
==SIG-Sauer P230==
The bank security guard carries a SIG-Sauer P230 as a backup weapon, which he uses to shoot at Bodhi's gang.
==IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII==
A Desert Eagle Mark VII is used by one of the surfer/heroin dealers during the FBI raid on their house. It appears to be the .44 Magnum version, judging by the bore.
==Beretta 92FS==
The other FBI agents in the movie, including Alvarez (Julian Reyes), all carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearms. This is inaccurate, since the FBI has never issued or authorized the Beretta for its agents in real life, and the SIG-Sauer P226 and P228 were the FBI-issue sidearms at the time.
==Colt Government Model==
Tone (Anthony Kiedis), a member of War Child's surfer gang, is seen holding what appears to be a Colt Government Model pistol during the FBI raid on their residence. He experiences an accidental discharge with the pistol when the FBI bursts through a door that he was on the other side of, wounding himself in the foot.
=Shotguns=
==Mossberg 590==
In both the beginning and final robberies, Bodhi's gang is seen using at least one Mossberg 590 shotgun with an extended tube. Bodhi himself briefly handles this weapon in the climax at the airfield.
==Mossberg 500==
Johnny Utah is seen qualifying with a standard police-model Mossberg 500 shotgun with wood furniture in the beginning of the film. A Mossberg 500AT with a pistol grip is carried by Grommet during the bank heists.
==Remington 870==
Bodhi's crew also uses at least two different short-barreled, pistol-grip Remington 870 shotguns.
==Ithaca 37==
When Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) is forced by Bodhi's gang to accompany them on their final bank robbery, Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) gives him a sawed-off Ithaca 37 shotgun after ejecting all of the shells from it.
==Sentinel Arms Striker==
A Sentinel Arms Striker rotary shotgun with the folding stock removed is used by War Child (Vincent Klyn) during the raid on the surfer gang's house.
=Submachine Guns=
==Sterling L2A3==
At the end of the movie, at least one of the Australian policemen brandishes a Sterling L2A3 submachine gun, which seems to have its magazine in backwards!
==IMI Uzi==
One of the Australian policemen at the end of the film has a full-size Uzi submachine gun.
=Rifles=
==Steyr AUG==
During the FBI's raid on the surfer gang's house, Bunker (Chris Pedersen) wields a 16" Steyr AUG A1 bullpup assault rifle.
==Winchester Model 70==
A Winchester Model 70 is carried by one of the Australian police officers at the end of the movie.
