Summary: Bad action has rarely been so good
Review: Forget "Dirty Dancing": Patrick Swayze's career peaked in this and the similarly underrated "Point Break." It doesn't quite reach the stratospheric heights (or is it depths?) of Arnold Schwarzenegger's deservedly legendary "Commando," but "Road House" is still the stuff of which B-movie legend is made. Starring Swayze as the head bouncer at a rowdy Southern bar called the Double Deuce, "Road House" derives its appeal largely from the ingenious idea of having a bunch of rednecks for villains. You get to see Swayze's Dalton, perhaps the only Mercedes-driving, philosophy-majoring bouncer in history, take on a seemingly endless succession of slack-jawed inbred troglodytes as he tames the Double Deuce and ensures victory for truth, justice, and the American way. The Double Deuce is one of the those bars where it seems half the patrons are on parole, but that doesn't stop them from throwing fists at the proverbial drop of a hat. I've always believed that bar fights held vast, untapped potential for the action genre, and this movie more than delivers the goods in that department. There are about five solid bar brawls in "Road House," with glass flying around, Dalton employing his martial-arts expertise against dimwitted thugs in tight jeans, and blind guitar whiz Jeff Healey providing some rock-solid background music. Suffice to say, if you're looking for a fair and dignified look at life in the South, you won't find it here. A trip to the Double Deuce promises to be as nasty and brutish as Hobbes's state of nature, and a lot more fun to watch. And even for those who can think of nothing that beats Patrick Swayze as an action hero, it gets better: they got Sam Elliott, one of America's most underrated actors ever, to play Dalton's long-haired, hard-living friend Wade! With an unkempt white mane and that unmistakable Southern drawl, Wade dispenses plenty of rapier wit along with some ...-whippings before outliving his usefulness. You also get to see Ben Gazzara, slumming it as the snake-like villain Brad Wesley, somehow manage to maintain a semblance of dignity in a movie that seems committed to insulting your intelligence every chance it gets. And as Dalton's love interest, Kelly Lynch adds little in the way of plot advancement or dialogue, but she does provide some nice scenery... buying it.

Summary: THE CITIZEN KANE OF DOWN-SOUTH, PHILOSOPHER BOUNCER Films!!!
Review: What on the surface seems like a basic 80's action film is actually hiding a film that will eventually come to be recognized as THE CITIZEN KANE OF DOWN-SOUTH, PHILOSOPHER BAR BOUNCER MARTIAL ARTS FILMS ! Every line of dialogue is a stroke of genius ("Pain doesn't hurt.."), every costume a master work (I was stunned that it didn't win an oscar just for the Pizza Hut (TM) table cloth dress that Kelly Lynch wore!) and the music probably made John Williams weep that he did not do this film. No one, but no one could have played the Shakespearian character of Dalton but Patrick Swayze. No one. Although watching it on DVD does not give you the necessary breaks to catch your breath from the intensity of the film like watching it on TBS does you can always pause it and breath into a paper bag for a few minutes and then go back to it. Dismissed by many, the true fans can see beneath the surface of this film that was obviously hidden in the wrapper of an action film so that enlightenment could be passed onto the masses. I have molded my life around Dalton's philosophies and have lived by the simple but truly wise wisdom of: "I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice." Wow.

Summary: Swayze keeps this at bay
Review: chock full of action which keeps this movie at bay..also the performance by Swayze as well..the scene where he fights that dude in the jean jacket...good scene...Kelly Lynch is also great..but it hits the dirt road somewhere in the middle..but all in all its a good Swayze movie..let's here it for the blind guy and his band in the cage...what a great band

Summary: I'M GOING TO NAME MY SON (OR DAUGHTER) DALTON.
Review: This movie is a constant challenge to Dalton's personal motto, that "nobody wins in a fight." As far as I can tell, Dalton is the biggest winner in the history of the entire world. He's just humble, I guess. Very well, moving on. Since time immemorial there have been a few constant trends dominating man's existence: the needs for fire, water, shelter, companionship, and the proper way to show reverence for Dalton. I believe that I have found an appropriate way to show respect and appreciation for Dalton here at Amazon.com. Thank you. I love all of you. Except I hate Brad Wesley. That SOB was mean and ornery, the embodiment of pure evil. Why couldn't he just leave those poor townfolk alone?!!!??!!

Summary: It's a Guy Thing
Review: Road House a movie that kicks up the heat. Road house takes place in Jasper Missouri. Bouncers, live rock music and hot women. Stars Dalton (Patrick Swayze). Dalton goes to the Double Deuce tavern. Lots of fighting and lots of drinking going on at Double Deuce. Dalton has three rules: One expect the unexpected, Two never start anything in the bar, take it outside, Three be nice. Then Watch my back, i'll watch your back, and take out the trash. Kelly Lynch plays a doctor. Sam Elliott plays a biker friend to Patrick Swayze. Fight to the end with a big bad boss and goup of thugs that run the town.

Summary: So BAD it's a MASTERPIECE
Review: This is an all-time classic B-movie that's so incredibly stupid that it transcends stupidity and attains cinematic greatness. I actually think this movie had to have been written with this goal in mind. I'm not sure (even in Hollywood) that anyone could have written this nonsense and expected an audience to watch it with a straight face. Watch the movie with lots of friends, have several cocktails, and make fun of the endless classic scenes involving monster trucks driving through car showrooms, bar fights where they "sweep up the eyeballs after closing", a bouncer with a master's in philosophy who spouts such pearls of wisdom like "Pain don't hurt" and carries around his own medical files to save time in ER. Brilliant stupidity!

Summary: What a Movie!!!
Review: A lot of people don't like this movie and I don't know why. If you see this movie for the first time and are excited then you will love it. Great fighting scenes, scene after scene, a couple of hot girls, and a mercedes. I mean, what more do you want. it has a stupid plot but if you like Patrick Swayze movies like I do then you will like this. I suggest adding it to you DVD collection.

Summary: Pure comedy
Review: A movie that's so incredibly bad that's it's hilarious. "Pain don't hurt .." Give me a f'ing break. I'm buying this thing because it's funnier than any comedy dvd I have. Think "Point Break" in a redneck bar. Classic. Let me break it down for you: Acting - hilariously bad; Writing - the writers should be beaten and drowned .. or at least ridiculed; Direction - there was no direction; Plot ... bwaaaaaaa haaaaa haaa hahahahaaaaa!! The best thing about this movie is that it tries to take itself seriously. Patrick Swayze actually bought into this whole "philosophical bouncer" load. There's nothing funnier than bad actors in ridiculous roles taking themselves seriously. Pick this one up .. it's a riot.
