McGinley talks about crunching the data and they dismiss Pappas even though he's all over the data.

Right, there's actually a ridiculous amount of evidence these guys are surfers.

Pappas jumping onto that desk is one of the ten greatest athletic feats in movie history.

Seriously, try to imagine anyone other than Keanu Reeves in this role. You can't do it.

Technically, this is a very well-directed film with a couple of caveats I'll get to later so as not to spoil anything.

"The name's Johnny Utah."
"Who cares?"

So why is Utah using his real name for a fucking undercover assignment. This guy was (as we'll soon learn) a fucking quarterback for Ohio State. It's before the Internet, but still.

She was the only person form the cast who showed at an outdoor viewing in Hollywood several years ago that my wife and I went to (picnic basket, booze, outdoor screen).

No one has ever heard of Ohio State. Only the Ohio State University.

I don't feel like this is a spoiler since we're spending a lot of time on her, but it truly is a coincidence of pretty massive proportions that Tyler does in fact know the bank robbers.

If (when, hopefully) we do Rocky IV we'll have to chug a beer for every montage and then get our stomachs pumped.

It was a hell of a line, plus he looks like Keanu Reeves.

I guess the "tribes surf in the same area" thing would be the rationale.
[+] spoiler
They could have rejiggered the soil content part to lead to the beach and have him start surfing there, run into her and go from there.

This is a way better directed movie than the script probably deserves. You can tell Bigelow is good.

I fucking adore this football scene.

Inexplicably, Bodhi is apparently the only person in the world who recognizes Ohio State's quarterback from only about three or four years ago.

Bodhi does everything but actually pee on his ex-girlfriend to mark his territory.

Bodhi's expression when he gets beat deep just sets up so much. Like he can't give up the rest of the way because he got suckered in a game of pick-up football.
