Summary: BAAAHHH! BAAAHHH!
Comment: An instant classic, nothing short of a masterpiece. A brilliant script, flawless acting, and breathtaking cinematography. Will undoubtedly go down as one of the finest films ever made. Out of 5 stars, I give this one 10.75.......BRAVO!! These guys are the reason that all the sheep are so scared. Can't wait 'til they release the "Super-Duper Deluxe Redneck Special Edition Series dvd"........YUK YUK YUK!!!

Summary: Patrick Swayze dirty dancing all over drunks and bad guys...
Comment: Roadhouse is a movie about a man who is a cooler at a mid-west bar and controls bars/clubs when they get out of control. Patrick Swayze is the zen-master who takes nothing personally and tries to live his life in peace until he takes a job working for the Double Deuce in Kansas.
Throughout the movie are good fighting scenes, escalating situations and a great soundtrack. This movie doesn't lose its charm and I recommend this movie to anyone whom has never seen it. Interesting concept for a movie and a good storyline to justify all the violence.

Comment: Road House and Steel Dawn were his best movies !!!! Yea Ghost was good, but too mushy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Kevin Smith/Scott Mosier commentary alone worth the $
Comment: I've seen this movie about a billion times. My VHS copy wore out so I popped for this new edition. Good God, the commentary by Smith/Mosier is hysterical. By itself, it is worth the price. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time.
By the way, why IS that background guy dancing without his shirt in all the bar scenes?

Summary: Road House Patrick Swayze.
Comment: The Movie Road House is a gutsey action movie and not for the few who don't like true action. Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott are just great, sure cleaned up The Double Deuce and recomend this DVD. Malcolm Australia.

Editorial Reviews:

One of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had plots that made any sense (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc), Road House concerns a handsome, existential bouncer in a rinky-dink honky-tonk who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes. And that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Swayze stars as Dalton, "the best bouncer in the business," who runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible--even guys like him, as revealed in a luridly seedy scene in which one of Wesley's goons tells Dalton that he reminds him of the kind of boyfriend he had in prison (albeit in much saltier terms). It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers. --David Kronke
