FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah ([[Keanu Reeves]]) carries a 9x19mm [[SIG-Sauer P226]] as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time ''[[Point Break]]'' was filmed, the P226 and the more compact [[SIG-Sauer P228]] were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm [[Smith & Wesson 1076]] proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi ([[Patrick Swayze]]) and lets him escape.  This scene was parodied in the film ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''.

Point Break is a 1991 action film starring Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, a former college football quarterback and young FBI agent who goes undercover into the Southern California surfing community in order to root out a bank robbery crew known as the "Ex-Presidents", who bear characteristics of the culture. Patrick Swayze co-stars as Bohdi, an experienced surfer who develops a friendship with Utah. The film was directed by Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) and was executive produced by James Cameron. A feature film remake starring Edgar Ramirez and Luke Bracey was released in 2015.


The following weapons were used in the film Point Break (1991):

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

FBI Special Agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) carries a 9x19mm SIG-Sauer P226 as his FBI-issued sidearm throughout the movie. At the time Point Break was filmed, the P226 and the more compact SIG-Sauer P228 were just coming into service as the new FBI-issue sidearms, after the 10mm Smith & Wesson 1076 proved to be too unwieldy for the Bureau's purposes. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Utah rolls onto his back and empties his P226 into the air after he is unwilling to shoot Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and lets him escape. This scene was parodied in the film Hot Fuzz.

Unwilling to shoot Bodhi, Utah rolls onto his back and fires his P226 into the air in anger. In this shot, it's possible to see that the exposed top of the P226's barrel has been filed down (a modification made for the pistol to cycle blanks). This scene was later parodied in the film Hot Fuzz.

Freedom Arms Model 83

Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) carries a Freedom Arms Model 83 single-action revolver in .454 Casull as his weapon of choice in the film. At the time this film was released, this was the most powerful production revolver available.

In the movie's patently absurd climax, Johnny Utah jumps out of an airborne plane with no parachute, catches Bodhi while he's skydiving down to the desert below (similar to the opening of Moonraker), and holds his own revolver on him. The show Mythbusters actually tried this scenario out, and it was determined that it Would have been possible for Utah to catch Bodhi from the plane within the time alotted. They actually timed it and tried it, with parachutes, of course. (They also determined that the noise from the rushing air would have made it impossible for Utah and Bodhi to hold any sort of conversation. However, this is a Hollywood action film & the longstanding tradition is to make the impossible possible onscreen.)

Charter Arms Undercover

Special Agent Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) carries an older-model 2" Charter Arms Undercover in .38 Special as his sidearm throughout the movie. It is seen most notably in the climax. Despite being a veteran member of the bureau, this is unlikely choice for an FBI Agent. The same or very similar revolver without front sight can be seen in 8 Million Ways to Die.

Beretta 92FS

The other FBI agents in the movie, including Alvarez (Julian Reyes), all carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearms. This is inaccurate, since the FBI has never issued or authorized the Beretta for its agents in real life, and the SIG-Sauer P226 and P228 were the FBI-issue sidearms at the time.

Tone (Anthony Kiedis), a member of War Child's surfer gang, is seen holding what appears to be a Colt Government Model pistol during the FBI raid on their residence. He experiences an accidental discharge with the pistol when the FBI bursts through a door that he was on the other side of, wounding himself in the foot.
