Road House
Enter at your own risk.
Patrick Swayze stars in this sexy, "violent tough-guy thriller" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) from the producer of Die Hard and The Matrix. Co-starring Ben Gazzara (The Thomas Crown Affair), Kelly Lynch (Charlie's Angels) and Sam Elliott (We Were Soldiers), Road House delivers no-holds-barred action that pushes the envelope for high-octane thrills!
Swayze is Dalton, a legendary bouncer who comes to Jasper, Missouri, for a special purpose: to restore order at the notorious Double Deuce bar. In one spectacular fight after another, Dalton rids the bar of thugs and henchmen. But when he runs afoul of a ruthless crime boss (Gazzara), the stage is set for a blistering showdown that'll leave only one man standing!

God, what a great film. Maybe one of the funniest films. The movie tries way too hard to be a "guy" flick and it boarders as being homoerotic. Seeing Swayze almost nude doing karate as an old Uncle Jesse looking guy watches him is just creepy. Swayze is Dalton, a guy who thinks pain doesn't hurt, a guy who can rip your throat out with his bare hands, a guy who can kick your assGood for a "Second" Serving - Ilania
I don’t care what other people say. For me this film is one of the most enjoyable movies to view over and over again. Patrick Swayze as Dalton the cooler is both very attractive, and touching in this story. In fact he is almost delectable, even more so than in “Dirty Dancing”. Joining him are Kelly Lynch as a very sexy doctor, Sam Elliott as Dalton’s teacher-mentor gives a surprisingly impressive performance as Wade Garrett, and Ben Gazzara is quite convincing as Brad Wesley. And to top it all Canadian musician Jeff Healey appears and provides his good music, a historical appearance of this young man who is no longer among the living.If This Is Real America I'm Moving To Canada - bwod
So, you want to know what it's like living in Kansas circa 1989? Get ready for Hillbilly Heaven. Monster trucks, atv's, strippers, brawlers, and weapons - both knives and guns.
In steps Patrick Swayze to make things right. He can kick ass with the best of them and ultimately does, eliminating the opposition. If you liked Rambo, then you might like this movie. I give it one thumb up for the violence. Otherwise you might want to give this one a pass.
