Road House

1989

Directed by Rowdy Herrington

Dalton lives like a loner, fights like a professional. And loves like there's no tomorrow.

The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★★ 7

Even if it offered nothing else, this would be a masterpiece for “I used to fuck guys like you in prison”, which is easily the hardest line ever written for a macho 80s henchman. But luckily there is also so much more, in what has to be one of the most ridiculous and excessive movies in an era of pop action that challenged the definition of those words.
One of the key creative minds here is producer Joel Silver, who saw a lot of commercial potential in a broad, vulgar, caricatured neo-western for 13-year-old boys about a magical macho dream world where titty bar bouncers have the same nationwide mythic fame of cowboy gunslingers and know karate. He's responsible for…

In 1989 a man named Rowdy directed the movie Road House, finally fulfilling his destiny.
Review by Matt Singer ★★★★ 3

The reason I went to NYU, and also the reason I dress in khaki slacks at every social occasion, and also the reason I think monster trucks are the ideal vehicle for everyday driving, and also the reason I carry my medical records on me at all times.
Review by Wes ★★★★★ 3

this movie could kill a victorian era child
Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★ 19

Extremely boring but I liked when the guy shot at the falling polar bear statue instead of just, y'know, moving out of its way
Review by Ian West ★★★★ 1

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

80’s bar western with a hell of a first act—then shit starts exploding, silver fox Sam Elliot shows up, and during a showdown the villains henchman says “I used to fuck guys like you in prison” moments before getting his throat ripped out by Patrick Swayze—sounds like at least 4 stars to me.
Review by single white femalien 8

swayze was really on some horny shit like whatever sex lab he was created in set him to a 100 out of 100 hornys, it's wild! just nothing but glistening oiled muscles running and jumping through the air, pounding on the boys... rip to a true horny sex king, a practitioner of the dark horny arts if there ever was one. the other thing i like about this movie is when all the other big fellas fight, which is also very horny. kickin n astompin n agruntin n hootin with a lil touch o' hollerin....... all that just so happens to be music to my ears. what can i say i am but a simple woman and what i love is half naked men beating on each other and ripping throats out with their bare hands. that's, dare i say, the stuff!
Review by Michael Strenski ★★★★½ 2

This is The Great Gatsby of the 1980s.
Review by Bryan Espitia ★★★★★ 5

A movie that only asks you to believe in the power of blue jeans, rock and roll and Patrick Swayze’s magnificent hair.
Review by Grooveman ★★★★★ 6

Should be a guilty pleasure yet I have no guilt in loving this film. It also has hilariously bad lines like "I used to fuck guys like you in prison" Classic!! The Jeff Healey Band is great also. The perfect midnight movie.
