  • The candidates are all the bank robbers, the parachute scene, Swayze versus Keanu (compared with Cage versus Travolta, two actors at relatively the same spot), and the concept of a 50-year storm, which a host still enjoys and once tried to Google the next occurrence of.
  • The last candidate is whoever came up with bank robbers in ex-president masks, called great and the number one movie mask; the film could be made now with Donald Trump and George W. Bush masks.
  • The president masks are unquestionably better than the Halloween Michael Myers mask or the Scream mask; the runner-up masks are the nuns in The Town and the painters in Dead Presidents.
  • Pick: the Swayze-Keanu thing, from a host who came late to Point Break three or four years ago after watching other Keanu and Swayze movies and realizing Gary Busey was in it too; the second answer is the Richard Nixon impression, with a wish to see the audition tapes.
  • Another agrees the Swayze-Keanu pairing is the hook and has aged like a fine wine ('fine line' as transcribed): tell a stranger Swayze, Keanu, surfers, bank robbers and Gary Busey and they are in; it is like Bird and Magic finally meeting in the 84 finals.
