Johnny Utah has the name of a simple (possibly too simple), young, corn-fed American boy. It matches his former profession: a college football quarterback for Ohio State. It matches the “whoa”-ness of the performance delivered by Keanu Reeves. But this rookie FBI agent proves that name isn’t destiny, and his street smarts allow him to penetrate the surfer-gang bank-robbing crew the Ex-Presidents. The film was initially going to be called Johnny Utah, a nod to the uncomplicated, evocative name. (Also, it allows Gary Busey to yell out the immortal line “Utah, gimme two!”)
