1991 I wrote a college term paper titled "Why Road House is the greatest American movie" in which I swore was 40k words initially. Needless to say, I crushed it!
I used to work with a group of guys about 15 years ago and we talked about Road House at least once a week during lunch. This movie has so many quotes.
Swayze's career is the equvilant and time period of hair metal. Also, I remember introducing a girlfriend to this movie for the first time, and her exact response was "This movie is horrible, but I can't stop watching it"
Instant classic episode.. loved getting Craig’s take at the end! To hear someone who’s never seen this give their take was amazing 😂. Great job boys, loved it! 👏👏
Jasper, MO = Two gas stations (one with diner on one side), one old bank, one new bank, Pizza Hut, really great bar/Mexican place, antiques store, small grocery store. Near town but not in town = fireworks stand, roadside hamburger stand. The definition of road house is correct, it's out in the middle of nowhere, and I also believe this may have something to do with town lines, to avoid regulations.
That Mercedes 560 SEC was a very expensive car back then. It’s considered one of the best Mercedes of the 80’s. It’s a collectible car now at a reasonable price now.
I'm pretty sure when Brad Wesley talks about owning the town it's in the sense of he controls everything in the town, they pay him for protection, he owns the mayor, etc.
Missed Prestige Opportunity: Young Brad Wesley. The Better Call Saul-ification of Road House. Show the man’s rise to power after being sent in from Chicago, the inevitable turf war when he decides to break away and make Jasper his own, recruiting young Jimmy Reno and setting him loose. So much you could do.
And the show ends with him getting into his car, he puts in a tape of the Crew Cuts, Sh-boom starts playing and he yells to his thugs "FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!" and peels out to drive down the road to the scene where him and Dalton almost crash into each other.
I distinctly remember watching that Mike Tyson press conference and when Tyson went off and said I'll f#%@ you till you love me bitch.... Time literally slowed down and I had to just soak that sentence in for a minute and it hasn't left me since... one of the best one-liners I've ever heard in a press conference and to this day in quiet moments when my mind is clear that God damn quote will get in my head
This episode was terrific but you missed my favorite Brad Wesley scene. "You disgust me, O'conner, you wanna know why you disgust me?" "No why, boss?" ***Punches O'conner in the face*** "Cuz you're a bleeder. You bleed too much." Absolute gold haha. Edit: I listened to the episode again and they did in fact about it from 1:07:59-1:08:13.
Ben G. Had a TV show in the late 60's called "Run for your life" About a Big time lawyer that is is given 1 or 2 years to live. He makes the best of it by helping people
His kelly Lynch dance and kiss scene was to the same song And radio station adjustment move as dirty dancing - thought it was pretty wild that they quoted such an obvious and iconic and at the time very recent scene
I say we are in a new Era of 80s action movies. With Chris Hemsworth Tyler Rake, Gerard Butler Mike Bennett, Keanu John Wick, and Denzel Robert McCall. This is the best time for action movies since the 80s.
Crying watching this. So good. Kyle is awesome. Aged the worst- Kelly Lynch over tan and Applebees table cloth checkered country dress. And you guys should have explored the cue stick scene a little more. Was the guy a world class gymnast in his past life- that didnt work out so he ended up as prison rapist and millionaire thug guard.
I really hope they bring back the monster truck , I know it won’t because even the regular one was still insane to see someone cruzing a monster truck like a normal pickup truck lol
He may not have been Beowulf’s size, but Swayze would have made one heck of a Beowulf. Dalton cleans up the town in the same way that Beowulf helps Hrothgar restore some semblance of order in Denmark. Comparisons abound!
Nah, Road House is closer to being good than bad and while there is crazy stuff in it, the overall movie isn't insane. Face/Off is just bat shit insane the whole time haha.
Absolutely. Him talking about why the redneck in the bar would lunge at Dalton with a hunting knife just for telling him to get girlfriend to stop dancing on the table is so funny. "You want trouble?! YOU FOUND TROUBLE, SON!!!"
Unless I missed it, there was a glaring omission not talking about the Murray brothers calling Mitch Glazer (Lynch’s husband) every time Roadhouse was on tv and the sex scene came on.
Regarding ripping people's throats out, it's clear none of you on this pod has watched very many wuxia or martial arts movies. It's a fairly common kungfu technique usually called "eagle claw," which supposedly attacks (ripping out or breaking) an enemy's weak points such as throats, joints, etc. So Dalton must have been a secret Eagle Claw Sect disciple! :)

Kyle Brandt was actually awesome on this with Bill and Chris. They should have him on more
@reedjm There's always barber college.
@@Reedjmwtf are you talking about?
If you haven’t listened to his past appearances, they’re ALL amazing.
Great call out on the Die Hard music during the big fight scene
Kyle is the Dion Waiters of Rewatchables pods.
Simmons should be hauled in front of the Supreme Court for taking so long to do roadhouse on rewatchables lol
Kyle was throwing a 100 miles an hour in this
He's good!
1991 I wrote a college term paper titled "Why Road House is the greatest American movie" in which I swore was 40k words initially. Needless to say, I crushed it!
😂
"A polar bear fell on me." Lots of classic lines my buddies would say.
I used to work with a group of guys about 15 years ago and we talked about Road House at least once a week during lunch. This movie has so many quotes.
His name is James Dalton. It’s on his medical records in the movie.
Road House is such a Simmons movie!
Road House is such a dope name I can't believe Bill even tried to suggest the Double Deuce.
Swayze's career is the equvilant and time period of hair metal. Also, I remember introducing a girlfriend to this movie for the first time, and her exact response was "This movie is horrible, but I can't stop watching it"
shoulda married her
Having a shirtless Swayze probably didn't hurt....
@@MrOctober44 Nah, that would be my step mom's response...lol
This is the movie I’ve been waiting the longest for you to review.
"Chekhov's throat-rip"..... Fuck, that's funny
Chris Ryan officially The Machine of the Rewatchables confirmed.
This movie makes me think there is a national network of bar coolers working a circuit until they die
Fucking classic
This is the best! The Rewatchables are golden podcasts! My favorites are this one and the Escape from New York episodes.

I'm pretty sure it's to encourage drunk driving.
That Mercedes 560 SEC was a very expensive car back then. It’s considered one of the best Mercedes of the 80’s. It’s a collectible car now at a reasonable price now.
Any life lesson that you can't learn from Road House ain't worth learning.
I'm pretty sure when Brad Wesley talks about owning the town it's in the sense of he controls everything in the town, they pay him for protection, he owns the mayor, etc.

It was just recently announced that all of Jeff Healy’s performances from the movie are coming out on Vinyl. 👌🏼👌🏼😎🎸
Brandt is the best guest on this podcast. Great movie selection!
As a former bar/club Bouncer this was our bible😂
'Emergency!' was one of my childhood faves too !
Dalton's first name? Walton. Walton Dalton.
James Dalton.
Amazing
Wade was the coolest guy in Roadhouse.
Jimmy was pretty cool until he said he fucked guys in prison
John Doe's band "X" sings the version of Wild Thing used in Major League. Classic scene.
The correct answer to the memorabilia question is the right boot.
Clear out- Kyle is on fire. Its on his Mt Rushmore, it just is.
CR doesn't miss. The Patriots Dynasty style documentary take was hilarious
CR ‘s -Stephen A hottest take was the best, I was driving while listening to this and almost had to pull over. He IS the rewatchables in my book
I distinctly remember watching that Mike Tyson press conference and when Tyson went off and said I'll f#%@ you till you love me bitch....

He didn't say "bitch," he dropped an f-bomb... and not that f-bomb.
Dolton's Mercedes was immaculate for its time. You all are killing me the Jimmy line.
It's my favourite film of all time. And Terry Funks hair is the funniest.
Hey, there's always barber college.😂😂
The quote by Mike Tyson that Brandt mentioned, is one of the craziest things ever said by a human being.
Thanks Bill for reviewing Roadhouse. I hope you and Adam Carolla review the new Roadhouse movie with Jake Gyllenhaal when its released.
This episode was terrific but you missed my favorite Brad Wesley scene.
"You disgust me, O'conner, you wanna know why you disgust me?"
"No why, boss?"
***Punches O'conner in the face***
"Cuz you're a bleeder. You bleed too much."
Absolute gold haha.
Edit: I listened to the episode again and they did in fact about it from 1:07:59-1:08:13.
Youngblood is a Rewatchable MUST HAVE
His name isJames Dalton. Occupation Bouncer. Age 30 on 9/22/81 on his medical record in the movie.
Billy Batts makes the same prison sex comment in Goodfellas when talking about Tommy
Ben G. Had a TV show in the late 60's called "Run for your life" About a Big time lawyer that is is given 1 or 2 years to live. He makes the best of it by helping people
CR's Tony Romo impression is the eternal gift I never knew I needed ...
His kelly Lynch dance and kiss scene was to the same song And radio station adjustment move as dirty dancing - thought it was pretty wild that they quoted such an obvious and iconic and at the time very recent scene
I say we are in a new Era of 80s action movies. With Chris Hemsworth Tyler Rake, Gerard Butler Mike Bennett, Keanu John Wick, and Denzel Robert McCall. This is the best time for action movies since the 80s.
I would include Jason Statham, Idris Elba and Vin Diesel
The ringer…5 years late to the immediate TH-cam video release
The Mercedes 560 Sec is a great car, one of the best Mercedes of the 80s - 90s
These 3 and fennessy is the dream
I can't believe the day has finally come that "Roadhouse" is on the Rewatchables. Insanity
Rowdy Herrington, pride of Pittsburgh!
Monster Truck in “Take this job and shove it”
Best funny action movie of all time - Best of the Best
Please do Youngblood at some point, it’s an all time 80’s rat pack movie.
Next Rewachable.....EXTREME PREJUDICE!!! Brandt u in?
Crying watching this. So good. Kyle is awesome. Aged the worst- Kelly Lynch over tan and Applebees table cloth checkered country dress. And you guys should have explored the cue stick scene a little more. Was the guy a world class gymnast in his past life- that didnt work out so he ended up as prison rapist and millionaire thug guard.
"A Polar Bear fell on me."
It’s “James Dalton” per Wiki.
The Vinegar Syndrome 4K of this glorious movie is amazing. Sadly, it costs MORE than 20 bucks...
I paid a pretty penny for the limited edition with the magnet clasp. Worth it.
@mjwbulich Ditto, it's a superb edition!
Can someone explain that balled up bedsheet for underwear "Mr. Saturday Night" is wearing when Dalton busts him in the storage closet?
Great episode! Glad to see CR wearing a hat
unmentioned -- "When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky" by Bob Dylan
Update: just watched the new one, and it’s entertaining!
I really hope they bring back the monster truck , I know it won’t because even the regular one was still insane to see someone cruzing a monster truck like a normal pickup truck lol
Unanswerable question possibility: Is Dalton’s Memphis story based off of Scott Hall’s Orlando bouncer story?
Guys, his first name is JAMES.
James Dalton.
Says it right there on his medical records.
Saves time.
CR picked a good double feature w Rolling Thunder. The ending is so damn good
Love the Durham bulls hat on CR!
CR's idea of the documentary-style sequel from the perspective of Brad Wesley should be made. Martin Scorsese should direct.
Awesome movie, awesome pod
Kyle could be a young Ray Liota …..
People who know me, know my description of Swayze and Roadhouse, “The greatest actor of our time, in the greatest movie of our time” 💪🏼
He may not have been Beowulf’s size, but Swayze would have made one heck of a Beowulf. Dalton cleans up the town in the same way that Beowulf helps Hrothgar restore some semblance of order in Denmark. Comparisons abound!
Does anyone know the full text of Kyle's shirt? The first word is "Dalton" but I can't see the rest.
It's a Vote Dalton Garrett T-shirt. The 2 characters in Roadhouse.
@@lpr5269 Awesome, thanks!
Great episode, could you do a double impact episode!? 🙏
Watch Terry Funk try to run in cowboy boots towards the Mercedes at the end. If Robert Patrick is the best runner, this could be the worst.
I want Dalton's 1965 Buick Riviera
Jeff Healey sadly passed away 16 years ago from cancer. Gone too soon.
How have you guys not done Days of Thunder, Bull Durham, Hunt for Red October??
Damn Boy! I thought you were good!😂😂😂
How the hell you skip over Sam Elliott as a main cast member in the discussion of this movie is a crime. It's my favorite character by far.
How about Emmitt getting all worked up and out of breath watching Dalton do his tai chi?
80's cheese at it's best. When guy movies were great.
So true. Die Hard is another. A Gen Zer who worked for me said "My generation doesn't like Die Hard." I responded "Of course not."
@@David-iv6je. That entire generation blows.
Die Hard isn't cheese. A legit classic and standard of what an action movie is and should be. It's timeless.
His name is James Dalton.
Monster truck in movies? Hello, "Take this Job and Shove It" (1981). I believe that's the film debut of Bigfoot.
Call yourself a cinephile.
This is up there with Face/Off, in the it's so bad it's good category
Nah, Road House is closer to being good than bad and while there is crazy stuff in it, the overall movie isn't insane. Face/Off is just bat shit insane the whole time haha.
Watching Kelly Lynch as a 9 year old 😮
Adam Carolla has had something to do with this films life the last 15 years.
Absolutely. Him talking about why the redneck in the bar would lunge at Dalton with a hunting knife just for telling him to get girlfriend to stop dancing on the table is so funny. "You want trouble?! YOU FOUND TROUBLE, SON!!!"
Unless I missed it, there was a glaring omission not talking about the Murray brothers calling Mitch Glazer (Lynch’s husband) every time Roadhouse was on tv and the sex scene came on.
Neighboring town_Dalton, Massachusetts🤩
43:10 - 44:45 😂😂😂😂😂
Might want to throw The Rock ahead of Hogan, Funk, Piper, and Andre in the best wrestler crossover category. 🤔
Surprised no vote for Jesse / Blaine
Jake Gyllenhaal is older today than Marshall Teague was in 1989.
Hot Take, Wade Garrett is the coolest movie character of all time. Han Solo is now in 2nd place.
He's awesome but his death is so shitty. Han Solo's death is one of the best in the entire Star Wars saga.
Road House stands tall. Swayze et al elevate the material.
True Lies is up there as funniest action movie surely? For Tom Arnold alone, but JLC and Arnie as well!
I'll always be a tango and cash guy myself
Beer, fights and hot chicks. What’s not to like?
Can anyone tell me what the hell Chris Ryan’s face is doing at the 21 minute mark?
Very bizarre.
The second best bad action film. The first is Commando.
The music sounds more like Lethal weapon for me then Die hard.
One of the best bad movies of all time.
Regarding ripping people's throats out, it's clear none of you on this pod has watched very many wuxia or martial arts movies. It's a fairly common kungfu technique usually called "eagle claw," which supposedly attacks (ripping out or breaking) an enemy's weak points such as throats, joints, etc. So Dalton must have been a secret Eagle Claw Sect disciple! :)
