Trivia: The plot of Point Break is almost exactly the same as the Fast and Furious plot: Keanu Reeves is an undercover agent, trying to solve bankrobberies done by surfers. Brian is an undercover agent, trying to solve truckjackings done by streetracers. Keanu infiltrates through the leader of the surfer's ex-girlfriend, but later really falls in love. Brian infiltrates through the leader of the racer's sister, but later really falls in love. Keanu first suspects another group of surfers, and a raid is done on them. Brian first suspects another group of racers, and a raid is done on them. In the end, Keanu lets the leader of the bad guys, who is now his friend, get away. In the end, Brian lets the leader of the bad guys, who is now his friend, get away. Hmmmm...

More quotes from The Fast and the Furious

Question: After the race at the beginning, Dom leaves his car at a car park and heads home. The police stop him and he runs, only to be picked up by Brian. Surely the police would know where he lives and call round later to question him about the evening's events?

Answer: There are two ideas of why the police did not come around. Firstly they might have found out after the car chase that Brian was an undercover cop so it would be more effective to allow him to try and discover information instead of going around and arresting Dom. The other idea is that the police might not have enough to arrest him. Dom was not the one driving when they found him and other than racing, it might be tough to arrest him.

Lummie

Cops are usually completely unaware of an undercover cop's identity. The more, realistic reason is that the cop didn't ID Dom and since Brian's car was later destroyed, there's nothing for them to investigate. Afterwards, they might ID Dom, but there's an investigation on him, so they'd leave him alone.
