Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze in ‘Point Break’ (Everett)
1. Point Break co-producer Rick King arrived at the original idea for the movie during a surf lesson in Malibu. He’d just read an article about Los Angeles’s status as the bank-robbery capital of the world and the broad strokes of the idea came to him.
2. King took the idea to aspiring screenwriter Peter Iliff, who was working as a waiter at the time. Iliff received $6,000 to write three drafts.
3. Before long, Ridley Scott was attached to turn the script into a movie. “He spent as much in pre-production as I spend on a film, and then decided not to do it,” King said in a 2013 interview. In a Blu-ray featurette, Iliff recalls the crew, which had spent five months building sets, tearing it all down in one day after Scott pulled out.
