I'll admit it: I loved Patrick Swayze after seeing Dirty Dancing. You can imagine my disappointment when I saw this crappy movie. The fights are lame, the story is stupid and it's a total waste of time.
Dalton is the Cooler in bars; He backs up and directs the bouncers. He takes a job in a Road House that has gotten far too rough. His attempts to clean things up put him in conflict with Brad Wesley, the town bully and rich person. Things heat up.
Patrick Swayze AND Sam Elliot, how can you go wrong! A movie you drool through with these two!!!
Not as cheesy as I would've thought. Basically an Americanized version of The Big Boss. Sam Elliott rocks!
PATTY S. and Sam Elliot! Yes! Well, this has to be one of my biggest guilty pleasures! It's a real "manly" film, but with an actual story, an excellent soundtrack, and some fabulous '80s cheese! Not to mention, Jeff Healey, who fronts the band that serves as the Double Deuce's ma...( read more)
SPOILER!!! It was cool until they killed Sam Elliott. They had no reason to pass the torch that way.
All I can say to that one is Hello Baby, when it comes to a hunk like Patrick Swayze playing a head bouncer of a saloon. He can bounce me any day of the week.
Any guy that hasn't had his penis removed should be a fan of this movie.
my god. i love this movie. patrick swayze was the tough one . he is always good in what he does.
Great ass kicking movie that just pumps you up if you wanna whoop ass.
Who hasn't seen this "modern classic" played on TBS and Spike TV 100 times? Still crap
oh man, does dalton know how to kick some ass or does he know how to kick some ass? lmfao! dalton bounces peoples large mang! lol!
Well, one of my 80's favorites.
Pure kick ass action in a movie with a simple, yet, original plot, and a patrick swayze showing he could also fight.
Kelly Lynch looked great in this movie, and that dance/sex scene.. unforgetable
Spectacularly silly film with Patrick Swayze as Dalton,the best bouncer there is(and an NYU philosophy major to boot)who is hired to clean up a hellhole bar and tangles with the local fatcat who runs the town."Pain don't hurt"(!?) Dalton wisely intones at one point,one of many ho...( read more)
This is barely better than an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. An interesting little premise, with a lot of potential that crashes out faster than, well, Patrick Swayze. The gradual decline of this movie is hilarious, right up to the ending, which might be the corniest ending eve...( read more)
The movie is pretty corny. My wife likes it because of Swayze, I'm less impressed
