BEIJING (AP) — Hollywood actor Luke Bracey says the remake of the action crime thriller "Point Break" is bigger and better because it's got heaps of extreme sports that weren't even invented when the original 1991 hit came out.

Bracey is the new Johnny Utah, the FBI agent played by Keanu Reeves in the 1991 movie who goes undercover among a gang of surfers led by Patrick Swayze.

In the new "Point Break" that comes out in China on Friday and in the U.S. on Christmas Day, extreme sports take center stage. Action adventure feats include big wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing and high-speed motorcycling.

Bracey said some "hadn't even been thought of when the original was made, in the original they were still paddling into waves."
