  • Swayze's hair is rejected as a candidate because it would be a cool haircut today and frames him perfectly; the homoerotic tension, including Bodhi telling Utah he wants him so bad it's like acid in his mouth, is called a testament to the chemistry and Swayze's magnetism.
  • Other candidates: the touch football game, and 'Take your hands off me right now', a demand made while handcuffed and about to be charged as an accessory to murder, with a joke that Keanu asked for ellipses in the script; and 'I am an FBI agent' on the way to rob.
  • The last candidate is Keanu jumping out of the plane, with the face he makes and his 'ah, fuck', called the funniest Keanu moment in probably any movie; asked for the unintentionally funniest thing, a host says it is that line and pictures being unable ever to make that jump.
  • A host jokes that Tyler would have been dead long ago had it been up to that host, who would shrug at the kidnapping of someone met a week ago.
  • A pick of the line readings, all hilarious, such as 'So the FBI is going to pay me to surf?', with Point Break Live pulling someone from the audience to play Johnny Utah off cue cards (the Ringer's Jim Cunningham took part) and 'why can't I say what I feel' on the phone with Tyler, landing on 'I am an FBI agent' as the ultimate Keanu delivery and a running joke for the rest of the decade; this reads as one answer, not two.
