The Worst Film Ever

Simply Perfect

Good concept, poorly executed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I don't know what it is about this film. And yes I said film.. Maybe it is Patrick Swayze and his glorious mullet, But I enjoy this movie. It's like a Kurosawa film, set around a honky tonk in a small town in America. The rough, blue collar bar setting is wonderfully ironic given the complex themes explored in the story. The fights are like ancient duels between men. Drawing you in is the contemplation of greed vs honor and righteousness vs killing, Compelling you to continue watching despite your initial impression that this was just another B rate 80s movie. And then there's Patrick Swayze and his glorious mullet.This film just works.

I'm not the biggest fan of Swayze, but just knowing this was such an iconic movie from the 80s, one you find references to even to this day, I guess I just thought it would be something more than what it was. In terms of plot and characters, all I can say is everything is just stale, or cliché. It's hard to take anything in this movie seriously. There's no one who is particularly likable, at one point Swayze rips a guy's throat out in front of the dude's girlfriend and it just left a bad taste in my mouth. There's better Swayze movies, there's definitely better 80s action movies, I'd say you could probably pass on this one if you're looking for either one of those.

Obscenely enjoyable. "Road House" is one of the campest and certainly one of the most homoerotic of all American movies. It was nominated for 5 Razzies but in the intervening years it's become something of a cult classic. It's certainly a great action movie with some of the best fight scenes in all of cinema and it's built around the cult of body worship and mostly male body worship which isn't to say that the broads aren't broad where broads should be broad but fundamentally this is all about the guys, who have been mostly picked for their looks and their physiques. The hunkiest guy of all is, of course, Patrick Swayze as Dalton, the hottest 'cooler' in the county. His job is to clean up the Double Deuce, the road house of the title and the roughest joint around. Then, of course, he's got Mr Big to contend with as well, (Ben Gazzara, having a whale of a time). The director was the aptly named Rowdy Herrington who took to the material like a duck to water and the terrific, rowdy score is courtesy of the Jeff Healey Band.

Road House (1989) is my personal favorite number 1 film from Patrick Swayze. This film stands alone as Patrick Swayze's best work in my opinion. It is an action classic that I grew up with it, I am a fan of Patrick Swayze and I can say it is his best action film! I love this film I grew up watching it as a kid. It is my third favorite Patrick Swayze movie and It is a action martial arts classic childhood! I love this film to death I love it so damn much and I love Steel Dawn and Black Dog to death the same as I love Road House. Road House will always be his best film he work with it. I can say Nomad, Dalton and Jack Crews are Patrick's favorite characters of mine he ever played! My mom loved to watching him in her favorite miniseries North and South it was her favorite show that she talked about with me.Plot: Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is the best bar bouncer in the business, but he's anything but "typical." He's a little small for his trade, has a degree in philosophy and he believes in "being nice." But when he's hired to clean up the Double Deuce in the small town of Jasper, he's pushed to his breaking point. Discovering Jasper is controlled by an evil sadist (Ben Gazzara) who doesn't want anyone meddling with "his" town. After he sends his goons to bust up the Double Deuce, all hell breaks loose. Now it's "no more nice guy" for Dalton as he starts busting heads, leading him to the all-time, no-holds-barred, butt whooping showdown of the century.There is a lot of action in this film, a lot of kickboxing and a lot's of fights in it. Patrick Swayze does a really good fight scenes, I think Patrick Swayze does really good job with a fight scenes, he does very solid job I mean really bottom in my heart I really miss Patrick Swayze I really do, that he is no longer with us. Road House is my favorite film, it has a lot of action and kickboxing fight scenes, Patrick Swayze does a really good job playing a hero for an late 80's action flick it is pretty good and I love it. It is definitely my favorite Patrick Swayze film. Road House is a film that I will always cherish and I definitely don't agree with people who doesn't like this film.You have an epic martial art's fight between Dalton (Swayze) and Jimmy (Marshall Teague) watch the fight carefully Dalton uses eagle claws technique when kills Jimmy. The choreography is a mix of various martial art styles evident in the variety of locks, throws, kicks and punches as used in Kickboxing, Hapkido and Jujitsu, with a particularly impressive flying kick from Swayze himself. The grueling work put in by the actors is visible in their strained expressions adding that no-holds-barred street fight feel to a fight scene packed with some excellent technical maneuvers.I love the beautiful music score on the end of the film When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky by The Jeff Healey Band which is very beautiful song on the end of the credits. I love the final showdown between Dalton and Wesley on the end of the movie and the happy ending.This film is directed by Rowdy Herrington who made some pretty good movies that I like, Gladiator and Striking Distance with Bruce Willis which is definitely my Bruce Willis's favorite action thriller film. The rest of the cast did also good job, Sam Elliott also did a terrific support cast, the same as actor Ben Gazzara as the villain who is sadly no longer with us anymore. Kelly Lynch was also good as Swayze's love interest. I am hearing that Nick Cassavetes is planning a remake about this film which it is unnecessary. There was a sequel about this film that I don't care for.R.I.P. - Patrick Swayze (1952 - 2009) I really miss you so much and I wish you could do more bad ass action movies, I am your biggest fan and so was my mom we all miss you and we all love you, I love you to death! Road House (why doesn't THAT film get the cult/appreciation/notice of this POS), Uncommon Valor, Steel Dawn (underrated) and Black Dog are my top 4 favorite Patrick Swayze movies he ever did! This movie get's 10 out 10 the best action martial arts movie ever made!
