a5c7b9f00b Brian's adopted brother is killed when he discovers that the shop he works in sends weapons to Vietnam instead of medications. To the police it looks like suicide, but Brian knows better so he skates off to investigate the murder himself. This is my favourite film ever. From when I first saw it on Sky when I was 9 I have been hooked on it! And after a 8 year search to find it on Video and now DVD I own it on both formats! The film is really enjoyable if you get past the slightly lame plot, but it does contain some really cool skating sequences and some of the dialougue is cool. Especially the line about when Brian wanted to be a vet so he could look after cows long enough to make them into hambugers! Overall my favourite film and one I hope I never tire of seeing! This was a decent movie…if you were ever into skateboarding then this movie is a must see…it's good for the time frame it was created in(late 80's)..it also has a lot of big time pro skaters in it Mike Vallely,Tony Hawk,Rod Mullin,Lance Mountain,Mike McGill,Natas Kaupus,and Eric Dressen…..I think the only big actor is Christian Slater…so this is obviously a "skater oriented" movie.. check it out…its worth the money if you can handle the "old skool" skating and a little cheesy storyline drama.. Gleaming the Cube (the title refers to achieving the skateboarding equivalent of cosmic bliss) has an intrigue plot that is unremarkable, and it doesn't do anything terribly novel with the relationship between Brian and the policeman (Steven Bauer) who helps investigate the case. It becomes somewhat more interesting in exploring the Vietnamese community of Orange County, Calif., especially in its tinier details.
