10 More Movies That Killed Completely The Wrong Character

The Death: Point Break ends with Bodhi drowning at sea after Agent Utah allows him one last surf. The success of the film meant there was easily grounds for a sequel and, although Patrick Swayze’s character gets the send-off he himself wanted, his death ended any chances of a second instalment.

It would have been perfect had another film been made that consisted of Keanu Reeves' Jonny Utah chasing Bodhi across South America before, finally, catching the fugitive, rather than providing a death scene that, though satisfying, felt rather rushed and thrown in.

Who Should Have Died Instead: Agent Jonny Utah

The 1990s was the era that saw action movies literally scale new heights. Speed came…speeding along, Die Hard 2 and 3 had people using their landline to express their excitement to one another and the Matrix had people’s heads, and later bodies, doing flips out of sheer wonderment.

However, Point Break is arguably the best of the lot. Reeves’ Utah goes undercover as a surfer to infiltrate a rogue group led by Swayze’s Bodhi, whose thirst for all things crazy sees them robbing banks, jumping out of planes and throwing dogs at anybody who dares get in their way.

But the brutal fact is that Utah lacks the charm and charisma to carry this film - whereas Bodhi has it in abundance. Reeves does a good job at playing the FBI rookie but his character does not have the complexity as the individual he's trying to arrest.

Swayze's character steals every single scene he’s in, with his unpredictability making him an intriguing individual whose mind and next decision is always hard to read and determine. Psychopaths are usually hard to read and this surfer come bank robber-cum-adrenaline junkie is no exception, keeping those watching on the edge of their seats. His demise was a huge mistake and maybe Utah should have drowned at sea instead.
