Daily News makes history!

While rounding out the Saturday shift, Mr. Tong and I got into a great discussion about that classic of American crime cinema known as Point Break. Since I know all devoted readers of It's a Crime have already seen this great movie, with Special Agent Jonny Utah tracking the insidious gang of bank robbers known as "The Ex Presidents," I won't get into the specifics. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to do so as soon as possible. You can thank me later.

I will, however, direct your attention to this important fact that I located in the "goofs" section of the IMDB post.

Factual errors: While staking out the bank, Angelo (Gary Busey) reads the newspaper and makes a comment to the effect of, "That Calvin and Hobbes sure are funny!" However, it is evident that he is reading the Los Angeles Daily News, which did not carry Calvin and Hobbes.

Now that I know the Daily News played a role, I only appreciate this great film all the more. I mean, how can you go wrong with great dialog such as this?

Bodhi: It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt.
Roach: Peace, through superior firepower.
