could have easily been called Point Break 2
not a direct continuation, a different character with different events.
Utah is his nick name anyway, change the characters names. change the audio, dub over any name from the original.
remove the cameos from the original actors, it's not like they were long or important anyway.
it's nothing like the original, with having extreme sports and such.
it's not like calling it Point Break 2 would have made it less money, but as a remake it didn't make much anyway.
they could have delayed it to 2016, filmed a small Keanu cameo for the end and boom... a Point Break 2.
