I work in private security. Nowhere as flashy or glamorous as this film. But I do use Dalton's rules, when training my Officers. Wisdom can be found, even in a work of fiction.
A roadhouse is a restaurant or bar (sometimes both) typically built on a main road outside a town or small city in a sparsely populated area. At the time of this film, there were plenty of rough places just like the ones depicted in the film.
The reason people would frequent such establishments despite the unrefined atmosphere is there simply weren't many options for nightlife.
Jeff Healey 🎸🔥
@TheGunslinger1 Damn bro, thanks, didn't know.
He was so perfectly cast as a blind guitarist/singer that you could be forgiven for thinking he was actually blind IRL!
@@DavidGowersI think he was blind in real life! He lost his eyesight as a child. Really cool for the movie to cast him!
@@devonbriney he was. I was making a joke lol
Just about everyone loved it back then. It was just the critics who didn't but they didn't like a bunch of movies that the public loved and were box office successes. The budget was 15 million and it made 61 million at the box office. Most movie critics were stuck up snobs about movies but they were the only reviews we had back then.
The guy who plays Red in the movie is Red West. He used to be a bodyguard for Elvis up until several months before Elvis died. They went to school together as teens too I think.
🥋🎞️🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In several interviews over the years, actor Marshall Teague who played Jimmy, said that the final fight between his character and Dalton, which took place down by the river was a real fight. He didn't like Swayze when he first arrived on set, because he said that Swayze basically ignored him for the first 2 weeks and he thought that he was a stuck up Hollywood douche. So during the beginning of the fight, Swayze lands a light kick on him and he mocked him for it. So the second take, Swayze lands a "freight train" of a kick on him, as he called it and he went flying. Teague, being a kickboxing champion from his Army days told Swayze "Now that's more like it" and the two of them went at it for real. The blood running down Teague's eye was from a real cut Swayze gave him from a round house kick and the log that Teague busted over Swayze's ribs breaking 2 of them, was a real log, not a prop and it wasn't in the script either, he just grabbed it and hit Swayze with it. They both had to go to the hospital after finishing the fight scene and both became good friends after that, having earned each other's respect.
Typical men friendship 😂
I also heard that the ripping-out-the-throat-scene was also real. Teague had to get a replacement throat afterwards.
That’s a hell of a story.
From what I heard, when the director yelled "cut", they had to more or less drag them apart as adrenaline had taken over and they didn't stop on cue.
According to the actor who played Jimmy ('evil Swayze'), that fight by the lake after the house blew up was real. They legit beat the utter shit out of each other.
Patrick Swayze said the same. Apparently they REALLY disliked each other on day one, but when it came time to shoot that fight scene they each realised that they they shared a dedication to realistic stunts, and ended up bonding over that, developing such trust that they improvised a lot and allowed each other to throw real punches and kicks at times. That scene was the reason Swayze picked Ghost as his next movie rather than Tango & Cash, he was that beaten up and bruised, complete with busted knee.
@@DavidGowers And some banged-up ribs because that log he got hit with was real and not a prop like Jimmy's actor thought it was.
Oops.
He called Sam Elliott, old man
He was only 44 when he filmed this
Swayze was 37
Good to know.
You forgot to blur the chesticles at 19:30. I like it, keep up the good work🖖 😉👍
I was about to say the same thing.
😻👩🏼😻
( © )( © )
XP 👀🤩🤪
1st time in my life I've heard of this expression. I'm gonna use it from now on 😊
I agree-the blurring of body parts is unnecessary.
"I wonder what the bar will look like when its cleaned up"
Well guys, its 1989 so the answer is "neon everywhere"
This movie came out the weekend I got married in 1989, my wife was a Patrick Swayze nut job and insisted we saw this on our honeymoon. We divorced five years later, but I still love this movie.😂
Sounds sus. Insisting on going to see some dude shes crushing on during your honeymoon is just wrong
@@dc1939 it was my honeymoon, I was getting laid regardless.🤣👍
She wound up with Pat 5 years later? Talk about patience!
@@30AndHatingIt no actually she turned into a crackhead and I got the hell away from her 👍
This came out when I was in high school, and my friends and I saw it at least three times in the theater. We were ahead of the curve in appreciating the fine art of Road House. 😀
The director did consider this to be a modern-day Western. Regarding the length, Sam Elliott (Wade Garrett) said in an interview that most of his scenes were cut out, and the first cut of the film was over three hours. Needless to say, the studio told them to cut it further. If you watch the original 1989 trailer, you can see some of the bits that were cut.
Also, if you get a chance, check out the DVD commentary by Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, etc.). He had nothing to do with the production of this movie, but he loved it so much that the producers asked him to do the DVD commentary. He adds some interesting and funny comments.
In the new version, Connor McGregor plays the same role as the guy who gets his throat ripped out. Unfortunately, they cut Sam Elliott's character out of the remake entirely.
I was really hoping we’d get a Wade Garrett Character in the new one. Unfortunate. Cowboy Cerrone woulda been cool.
"Roadhouse."
Peter Griffin.
👊👊 roadhouse!
“Ghost House”
Swayze's hair, as usual, is it's own character
All of the hairspray used led to the scare of the Ozone Layer having a hole in it back in the day.
That was all of us in the 80's. Anyone that owned stock in aqua net back then made a killing.
@@denisenewton5107 I remember my mom having a can in almost every room... Not necessarily for her hair but she was scared to death of spiders and that stuff would freeze them on contact, could probably work as mace as well. Cops, be on the lookout for a suspect with their eyes glued shut possibly bumping into everything that smells like Patrick swayze...
This movie is a total western. The new movie sorta pokes fun at that.
... sad thing that even all that poking they didnt even manage to get any f u n out of it. That remake was worse than the earlier, Road House 2 😅👎
Sam Elliott is and always will be, the ultimate Silver Fox. And o don't recall asking for a remake of this great classic movie.
Road House is THE 80’s movie.
Ya'll should check out the Wrong Turn films, and like most franchises, the first one is always the best, the sequels are just ok or downright terrible, but they're fun.
Since you two liked this one you guys should watch "Black Dog" it's one of my favorite Swayze movies. Patrick Swayze's action movies are kinda unique compared to others which make them so enjoyable.
19 mins in u left some " goodies" from your edit!
love u guys to much not to mention!
Everything I learned in life, I learned from Dalton.
A polar bear fell on me… was quoted for a few years 😂
Now watch To Wong Foo for the full Swayze.
Oh HELL yes! That is an Awesome movie.
nope
It didn’t get a cult following because of the silliness, it was because of Patrick Swayze‘s bad assery
Like Sampson, it’s all in the hair.
The new Roadhouse was pretty awful. As dull as dishwater.
It wasn't.
@@oliviarogers2808 it was
@@itzbp9949 not
Don't care to see it Swayze is Dalton.
@@itzbp9949absolutely
Damn I wanted to see you both react to THE line during the house explosion fight, no other movie like tops that one it’s so insane 🤣
I’m not watching the new Roadhouse. The film is enough for me. Not keen on remakes. Can’t understand why people can’t make something original.
Now that you've seen this, please watch 'Legends of the Fall'. Dalton is reading the book in one scene. Dalton's character is loosely based off of Tristan from that film, who is based on a character from a Medieval story. Go down that rabbit hole
This movie is a10 simply for the music.
DONT LIKE the REBOOT jakes good but he’s no Patrick, this is roadhouse it’s good but hate the reboot I watched it once I WONT ever watch it again but I can watch 89 roadhouse over over.
Crazy to think that most of the major characters in the original Road House are all now dead, Patrick Swayze, Ben Gazzara and Jeff Healey. It was a great movie, will be hard for the 2024 version to match this, but the clips look good. Love the bit when Swayze gives his pep talk to the bouncers at the DD, and he says 'we have got them all here. Power Drinkers!' etc, etc
The Double Deuce - the only bar that I’m positive Jon Taffer couldn’t rescue
😂
I think your scores are incredibly generous!
It’s a fun, cheesy film and I understand why it’s a cult classic but really, the acting, the script? All pretty wooden. Talents were wasted (to some degree, from some actors), and I’ll leave it at that. Check out Anatomy of a Murder to see Ben Gazzara in his early days.
I wonder what you’ll think of the remake.
Did you ignore the blind guitarist Jeff Healey!????
Alot of your 80s macho action movies got bad reviews by criticis. You have to remember back then it wasn't like now where everyone can leave a review. Back then it was only actual paid critics that did movie reviews. And they usally only gave rave reviews for dramas. But these movies were successful in the box office.
This film starts off like Cocktail and ends up like Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch. 😅
dont mean any disrespect but this movie is probably the best peak white trash cinema... rooooadhouse !!!
He was practicing tai chi
He’s supposed to be very Zen
Thanks to Tom and Shaun! 🛣🏠🥊 I'm so glad y'all are doin' this one. I resisted it for a long time, because I thought I was too sophisticated for it. But I finally caved in a few years ago... and loved it! The newest one is good, too.
Hey fellas.
Nice reaction.
The late, great Patrick Swayze in this phenomenal piece of work from
producer Joel Silver (Commando, Lethal Weapon, 2 of the Die Hard
films, The Matrix).
Part of the trinity of films that made Swayze an screen icon, along with
Dirty Dancing and GHOST.
Swayze trained with Martial Arts' legend, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez
who also makes a cameo in the movie.
Most definitely made as an modern-day Western with
all the troupes you may know.
Dalton as an philosopical bouncer knows the nature of man
and how to kick man's a^^.
A lot of what he says is kinda true.
Believe it or not, a lot of guys who became bouncers
took his knowledge and used it.
The late Ben Gazzara (Wesley), hot as hell Kelly Lynch (Doc) and
Sam Elliott (Wade) are all on their A-game.
The late Jeff Healey was a great recording artist and his band indeed
recorded so many songs for the soundtrack.
Of all the songs on the soundtrack that wasn't heard in the movie,
"Angel Eyes" was a single and No.1 hit.
There was a sequel in 2006 and it was ok.
The remake was announced in 2014 and Rob Cohen (Dragonheart, xXx)
was going to make it.
Now that it's happened with Jake Gyllenhaal & director Doug Liman,
I wish it was theatrical instead of a home release.
My biggest problem with this movie is casting Keith David and do nothing with him. I mean in They Live, he had a legendary fight with Roddy Piper
I never thought this movie was amazing. I definitely liked parts of it, particularly the main character and Sam Elliot's character, but the plot I thought was on the weaker side. The remake I felt similarly to but the opposite. I thought the plot was a lot more fun and engaging but the characters were somewhat lacking something.
So I'd say the new one was a bad remake (it feels too much like it's own thing that attaching "Road House" to it seems pointless) but a decent film.
No one cares what you think. You have no taste
1. This was my first Patrick Swazye movie and I've seen as many of his other films as I could. RIP Pat
2. He was a professional ballet dancer, but injured his knee so he took up acting. "Ghost", "The Outsiders", "Dirty Dancing" and "Red Dawn" would be more of him.
3. Who doesn't love Sam Elliot?
4. Location goof: Mountains can be seen in some long shots. There aren't any mountains near Kansas City.
5. This didn't get the love it deserved. It has now become classic.
6. This holds the claimed title "The best bad movie ever". I disagree. I love it.
7. The new "Roadhouse" tries too hard.🙄
I don't need to watch to the end. I know the best film ever will get a 10/10 from you guys. "Roadhouse"
Actually he's not a bouncer he's a cooler he combines bouncing with being the boss. Basically what he says goes as far as cleaning the bar up and turning it around. Also he's well known for doing this all over the country and he's known as the best who was trained by a legend.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie and Peter Griffin says Road House!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Swayze had such a hit in Dirty Dancing, many were disappointed in Roadhouse. Also check out Swayze in Ghost. The redhead with the knife at the beginning was Pat Tallman. She was a stunt person who later played a telepath in the show Babylon 5.
I have been a fan of this since it was first in the theaters when I was growing up. I am a big lover of Sam Elliott and Patrick swayze and they will always be my first love. I have watched the new remake and I appreciate that when you do a remake you do not try to copy it. It's completely pointless. They did just enough to have the hint of the original story. And if you are a fan of the original you will see little bits here and there that pay homage to it. But the story is fresh enough to stand on its own. It's a really decent action film. Not the best I've ever seen but it's worth watching. I hope you guys do
The Woman in the beginning with the knife is Patricia Tallman...she later became known playing a telepath in Babylon 5 and played several Roles in Star Trek TNG and so on...
A roadhouse is a bar that is outside of the city limits. Depending on how you carry yourself, you can have a great time and play some pool while drink beer and listening to music or you might get stabbed. If been to a few in my younger days. It is what it is
Classic 80s action! Great reaction. I thought the remake was very entertaining. Good job by Jake G.
You guys should watch Hard Target
I watched this movie so many times on TV growing up... and have rewatched it many times as an adult now. One of my favorites.
Please watch the 1987 movie Project X. Staring Matthew Broderick.
I love how the cops never show up until the end of the movie
quite possibly my fave Swayze film!
What about Red Dawn or the Outsiders?
The funny thing about this movie? It is kind of based on a true story. In a small town named Skidmore, also in Missouri, there was a big evil guy named Ken McElroy who terrorized everyone living there, and did some pretty evil, vile sh!it, and never managed to get arrested or put in jail for any of that serious sh!t. Until one day, in the middle of town, in the middle of the street, in broad daylight no less, he was shot and killed, and despite everyone standing around, "No one saw a thing."
_From Ken's Wikipedia article:_
*_Over the course of his life, McElroy was accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, animal cruelty, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary. In all, he was indicted 21 times but escaped conviction each time, except for the last. In 1981, McElroy was convicted of attempted murder in the shooting of the town's 70-year-old grocer Ernest "Bo" Bowenkamp. McElroy successfully appealed the conviction and was released on bond, after which he engaged in an ongoing harassment campaign against Bowenkamp and others who were sympathetic to Bowenkamp, including the town's Church of Christ minister. He appeared in a local bar, the D&G Tavern, armed with an M1 Garand rifle and bayonet, and later threatened to kill Bowenkamp. The next day, McElroy was shot to death in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street. He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as numbering between 30 and 46. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death._*
But as you can see, there's no sexy, cool bouncer. Patrick Swayze, where were you when they needed you!?
A illegal gun is automatic jail time, a knife can past as self protection.
Sam Elliott 🥰🥰🥰.
Tombstone
You know, this is possibly loosely based on the true story of the 1981 murder of Ken McElroy. He was similarly terrorizing a small Missouri town, burning down houses, shooting people, threatening people, etc. and then one day he was shot dead in front of 40 or so people, including his wife, and no one saw a thing. It's never been confirmed that it's based on it in part, but it did happen less than a decade earlier in the same state where the movie is set and a book about it came out a bit before production started.
The filmmakers acknowledge that case inspired the screenplay.
In broad daylight with Brian dennehy is a pretty good recount of that a hole, the picture quality is crap but it was free on yt last I checked
Fun fact in terminator 2 the actor was worried about the running scene so he trained at running and got so fast they had to have him slow down because he kept catching up to the dirtbike.
ROAD HOUSE IS a modern Western, just as say, EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE or SMOKIE & THE BANDIT are.
it could be that the drug dealing & brawling ARE what attracts the dicks that attend the bar,
Having just seen this new version im NOT impressed by it, Jake G was woefully miscast, the chief villians are NEVER convincing & are more like cartoon characters, it's a mess of a remake, & would have been better to have had some other title/name, nearly every change from the original, is a mistake(except for the back story of him being a former "cage fighter") & being set in Florida made the whole film feel more like a very weak tea PUNISHER or SCARFACE.
good only for the tropical setting and ocean, also the "plot twists" never worked & were predictable.
Sam Elliot starred in FROGS, TOMBSTONE, MASK, THE MAN WHO KILLED HITLER & BIGFOOT, GHOST RIDER,
Looking forward to Bone Tomahawk and Silence of the Lambs. Check out Mystic River and Wind River. You’ll enjoy both for sure.
Anyone ever heard of the horror movie “The Cell” from 2000 staring Jlo & Vince Vaughn ? I think you guys should definitely give it a try CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED film !
The man in the green t shirt, is the late WWE SUPERSTER ???? THE owner of the bar played Roy DeSoto, on what 70s TV show? And, what movie did Sam Elliot play along side of Cher, about the real life Rocky Dennis!?
Ah this is great. You got Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, Sam Elliott, and Ben Gazarra as this Chicago Mobster who moved to the sticks to take over and bring in a JC Penney Apparently:) also, that line that Jimmy utters, I used to F guys like you in prison, was probably never used before, or since for that matter:)
ROAD HOUSE is...fun in a silly bombastic all American kind of way, the story is simplistic BUT does have layers, for a short action thriller you do care about the characters & want our hero to win, which he does, it managed to set itself apart from the action thriller factory of the 80s, it's not like - COMMANDO, or SCAR FACE or LEATHAL WEAPON & others, yet the level of over the top violence is about the same . I would have preferred a slowing of the pace more, here & there, again it has that familiar brief and to the point pacing that was popular at that time, in the action genra. I'm glad that Swayze took it & not Sylvester Stallone, who it was offered to first
Based on your review of Casablanca, I think you would love David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia. Probably the best cinematography ever. A true classic.
Marshall Teague who plays Jimmg, aka Evil Swayze as you two names him is a B movie regular though he has the occasional small role in bigger budget films like Armageddon, The Rock, and Fire birds(fostering with Nicholas Cage). He is in a lot I B action movies like the US Deals films and also appeared in a few western like Month Walsh with Tom Selleck.
Ben Garza was a great character actor in the 60s & 70s. He was great in the WW2 FILM, THE BRIDGE AT RAGMAGDEN.
"That's not how you do a police investigation." I lived in Tennessee in the late 90's (not where I grew up) and that was exactly how the cops there worked. The ex-boyfriend of a girl who worked at the same place I worked beat the heck out of her current boyfriend and torched both their cars and the cops did nothing. Why? The ex-boyfriend was related to the sheriff. That was quite common in rural areas in the 80-90 era. If you want a verified historical example (from 1946) check out the Battle of Athens. I'm surprised no one has made a movie about it.
I enjoyed the 80s raunchiness of this awful film, but wow did Hollywood needlessly exploit women at this time. That aside, Patrick Swayze made this film. Loved him in it.
its crap- we know it is
I turned 18 in 1990 and was only 5'10" and 150 pounds. My 1st job out of high school was as a bouncer. I'm 52 now and most of my life has been spent as either a bouncer or manager in strip clubs even though I'm not any bigger and I've never had any kind of fight training. I've never lost a bar fight and have had weapons pulled on me on more than 1 occasion. 1st guy I ever threw out of a bar was 6 inches taller than me and almost 300 pounds. He went straight to his car and got a shotgun out of his trunk. Cops showed up as he did that thankfully. The speech Dalton gave to the staff when he 1st started is 100% on point. Always try to calm things down and get them outside as quick as possible. I refused to watch this for the longest time, years. Being young and small, I don't even know how many times I was asked if this was my favorite movie or heard, "I thought you'd be bigger". I hated this movie before I ever saw it. Then I heard Kelly Lynch was naked in it so I had to watch it. Not a great movie but definitely fun, even though the bad guy he rips tge throat out of is a horrible bad guy. Definitely not a movie that ever needed a remake and the lead actor has got to be a joke in the role. I would have to have a channel like this and literally be paid to watch it.
The bouncer in green at the beginning is the late great WWE Legend Terry Funk.
This version of ROAD HOUSE itself is a remake of an old Robert Mitchum film, buried by time, (but I can't say what that's like as I havent seen it)
You guys should react to Vicky Cristina Barcelona! And Blue Jasmine! And recent Woody Allen movies.
featuring the late Patrick Swayze, the “cheesiest movie ever made,” but they must not have been aware of the political subtext.Still, Road House was a fairly realistic portrayal of the problems members of the public face when dealing with out-of-control government agencies that have nearly unlimited power to tax and face little public oversight.
I don't believe in rating films in the sense of nos.
BUT ROAD HOUSE deserves an 8 & a half, to my mind, your nearly always stingy with your no. ratings
Roadhouse is entertaining as all hell and I'll fight anyone who says any different. 😄Also, been saying/thinking this for a while but you guys should really check out Gerald's Game. Weird and gruesome but definitely worth a watch!
I was just thinking that this is one of the only T'ai Chi Chuan movies, but then i remembered the Wu Tang is T'ai Chi, although those movies are more Chinese Opera. Roadhouse is a strange film in a lot of ways. Ben Gazzara's bad guy and his thugs are kind of surreal.
If the new film is a prequel that tells the tales with Sam Elliott as Wade Garrett, it could be cool. Or maybe someone resurrects Wade Garrett and Sam Elliott goes out and kicks some ass, it could be cool. But it will be trash, another sign of Hollywood having zero good new ideas.
6:00 Business seems to be booming. If they're losing money from the damages just get aftixed chairs and tables and serve all drinks in plastic cups.
Weren't pubs in the UK filled with drunkards and fighters? I thought that was the norm until about 20 years ago.
Funny thing about fighting in film: The older ones seem a bit stage-y and deliberate but the new ones seem a little too perfect, as if everyone knows martial arts and punches don’t really hurt.
You should react to Daylight(1996) with Sylvester Stallion
The only thing missing from this movie is ZZ Top music. That would have completed the picture perfectly.
That the girl was the villain's Ex complicated things. Not sure you guys caught that.
The sleazy bartender was played by John Doe, from the legendary LA punk band, X.
I was 18 when this film came out, found it a bit far fetched, but entertaining, I do remember my older brother working as a bouncer at the time, he actually thought he was Dalton, what an ass!
Americans didn't use to all have guns. That's something that's really developed over the last 25 years.
Barry White? Did u mean Otis Redding "Show a little tenderness" or am I way off😅
Id say definitely still react to the new roadhouse! Most ppl don’t like it but its still a fun watch and the fight scenes r great, and it’s also conner mcgergors first movie soo!
I think maybe you lads have had a pretty sheltered life. Walk into any council scheme/estate pub and you’re eyes will be opened.
The 80’s was cool, Music was cool 😎 Horror movies were cool 😎 Action movies were cool 😎 it was just cool 😎😘
there's also a sequel to this movie called Road House 2: Last Call (2006)
As a kid I watched this movie at least 3 dozen times over the years... Absolute treasure of a movie 🍿
GUYS PLEASE WATCH CHILDS PLAY 2 - ITS BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE.
YOU WON'T BE SORRY!
You should watch Daylight with Sylvester Stallion
