- A major absurdity in 'Point Break' could have been avoided by ignoring
- anti-Ohio bias. The FBI agent played by Reeves was from Ohio so when he
- jumped with the thieves it was his first jump. It's ridiculous that a first
- jumper could close on a five way. Had the makers taken into account that Ohio
- is one of the leading states as far as Skydiving goes (not the leading, but
- up there) he could have been experienced and the movie would have almost made
- sense.
