The two Presidents that go into the vault are Lyndon Baines Johnson and Richard Nixon. LBJ pooled social security, and Richard Nixon took us off of the Bretton Woods agreement in order to fund Vietnam. Both of them are shot first in this bank sequence. Jimmy Carter was at the front of the bank, and his administration dealt with high interest rates, mostly affecting the consumers. Although Johnny "doesn't get to be President," his role indicates that of Bush, the parallel being the CIA.
@actwealthy moreso, Nixon and LBJ get hit with the violence first, as both of them were in authority during the Vietnam conflict. Gerald Ford is conspicuously absent. Utah is forced into a "Patty Hearst" video, as he is kidnapped in order to take part in a robbery. The S&L crisis was over, but the term "Government Seized Assets" was widely used due to the transfer of assets from the S&Ls to the Resolution Trust Corporation, so it was a Govt seizure of the assets of the banks to sell to public
@actwealthy my point being that this film is best understood when considering the political climate of the time that it was written, and at several levels is a parody and a surf movie both at the same time.
@6arba9eman There are several more symbols in this movie. If you listen to Pappas' the ex presidents are surfers, its a reference to the velocity of money (which is an economic concept). They wear masks of the ex presidents, while robbing banks for pictures of the ex presidents (on the currency) "ghosts". Also, think of the movement of currency as its spent in the economy, and listen to Pappas' (Gary Busey's) speech again in the beginning of the movie.
@actwealthy not that this has anything to do with the robbery portion of this movie but there was a scene where johnny utah (keanu reeves) gave his report to pappa's that bodhi (patrick swayze) stopped at a restaruant called PATRICK'S ROADHOUSE., one of patrick swayze's biggest films was ROADHOUSE lol!
In the end credits: "The events, characters, and businesses depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events or businesses is purely coincidental."
1 guy going against like 5 or 6 guys isnt being brave its called being really fucking stupid and if any1 in real life trys this shit.. DONT! you wont be a hero you will be dead. they are there for the money not to shoot any1 no matter how agressive they act. let them have the money and nobody gets hurt.
@M1ckyCFC In all fairness, officers off duty are required to respond if they perceive during a violent armed confrontation that there is imminent harm to the innocent. The arguing between Johnny and the robbers? This officer in this movie (although fiction), might have perceived the situation might have become violent and involve innocent people getting hurt. He acted, he died. That's called bravery.
That's What You Get When You Go All Macho And Start Playing Hero. Just Let The Robbers Take The Money, Catch Them Later, Let The Bank's Insurance Cover The Stolen Money, And No Innocent People Get Hurt. Everybody Wins!
That cop got stupid from the start, he shouldnt have fired or even pulled that gun out. Now reagan is lookin at 3 counts of murder, for that cop, the guard, and his partners death.
4:53 I completely love the concept of a Action-Hero-Wannabe trying to intervene during the robbery .. it's like what would happen if a hero almost out of a B-Movie took on A-Movie Villains.. very cool writing in my opinion.. absolutely love the idea.
I finally get why Patrick swayzie was saying in the van "fear causes hesitation" the undercovercop showed fear, swayzie did not hesitate and gunned him down!
