![]() ![]() Roach gets shot and then boards the plane, only to continue to bleed out. Roach (Richard Nixon) – Probably the most excruciating and extreme death in the entire movie. He dies in Utah’s arms while Bodhi is taking care of Roach. So you can imagine the anguish he must have felt when he was THIS CLOSE to nabbing them on the tarmac when he got shot in the back by Roach. ![]() After realizing that he’s dead, Bodhi grabs Nathanial’s shotgun and hustles over to Roach to get him on the plane.Īngelo Pappas – Not Pappas! All along, he KNEW that the Ex-Presidents were surfers and he continued to BELIEVE it even when everyone laughed in his face. He is able to tend to him after Roach shoots Pappas, which distracts Utah. Bodhi sees that he’s been shot and you can see the pain and anguish in his face. A pretty quick and uneventful death for Nathanial, here. This happens on the tarmac when the remaining ex-presidents are loading the plane to Mexico. Nathanial (Jimmy Carter) – He gets two in the chest courtesy of Angelo Pappas. This is where Bodhi starts to unravel and every choice he makes for the remainder of the film can be traced back to this bank robbery gone wrong, where his de facto bestie gets killed. Poor Grommet catches one in the chest from the off-duty cop and ends up dying in Bodhi’s arms. During the robbery, Bodhi gets greedy and decides to call an audible and go for the vault (which they never do and has ultimately worked in their favor every single time). It sets something off in Bodhi that propels the rest of the movie forward. Grommet (Lyndon Johnson) – I’d rank this as the most important death in the movie. That’s why he cried when the off-duty cop wanted him to be his back-up. He gets shot in the back by Roach, which kills him. This is when Bodhi dramatically rises up from behind the counter, sees what has transpired, looks at the cop who is frantically trying to load a new clip into his gun, takes aim and shoots a bullet that absolutely destroys the cop.īank Security Guard – Fear takes over the rational side of his brain and he shoots wildly at the Ex-presidents, hitting only air. Anyhow, he shoots Bodhi, which knocks him off of the bank counter, then he shoots Utah, he then catches a bullet in the arm from Nathanial, shoots Roach, then delivers what ends up being the death-blow to Grommet (more on this later). Also, the security guard was giving him a hard no to back him up, he was literally crying. Kind of his own fault though, right? It seemed to me that he wanted to play hero and didn’t care about the safety of the bank’s employees or its patrons. The off-duty cop during the bank robbery when Johnny Utah didn’t have a mask – This guy got blown away. While some were more important than others, each death drove the story forward. If you haven’t seen the movie yet (which I have no idea why that would be the case), stop reading now or prepare for spoilers.Įvery death in this film had some level of significance tied to it. It has a significant amount of death scenes, specifically in the second half. 1991’s Point Break is no doubt a great film. ![]()
