Locke and Point Break

[SpaceBikerV]

I've watched the new Point Break movie on Tv recently(quite a boring experience mind you) and after that I kinda wondered, what does a cyberwarfare mercenary and his contracts have anything to do with a bunch of poly-athlete criminals doing extreme sports?

I guess it's just an excuse to make us screw Murkywater over.

There is no logic...

Jimmy dies after the events in payday, as you can see his mask in HCH's hotel scene when the viewer grabs a gun from the drawer

Iirc, we don't know if Bodhi is dead. At the end of the movie, he's not clearly shown dying

Doesn't matter what happened in that movie, due Bodhi being established to exist since the first game (and more based on the original Point Break), we can presume that this Bodhi is a completely unrelated one.

Payday 2's take on crossover franchises rarely has direct canonical links to the franchise in question. The Point Break heists are inspired by the Point Break movie, but they're Payday 2 heists from Payday 2 contractors, not recreations of scenes from the movie. The resemblance is usually thematic.

Birth of Sky is recreating a scene, actually - but in a complete unrelated context and only part of the heist. Specifically, the money pallets getting kicked out the back of a plane and the crew jumping after them in parachutes.

Fair point. I think it's semantics biting me in the ass here. What I meant to say is that the heists aren't trying to repeat exerpts from the plot within the implied context of the plot. They repeat the setup and dynamics of specific scenes, but within completely different context. We're going through similar motions, but they don't tie into the plot of the movie. Sorry for the ambiguous language.

Nothing, its just some random way to sell colabs

[PAYDAY 3]

Nothing at all. There's close to no common point between Point Break and Locke or PAYDAY 2 in general.

Friendly advice : Check Point Break original, it's pure gold. 1991 or 1995, forgot.
