Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

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?

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.

Booze, boobs, and beatdowns. Oh yeah, it's the 80's high-octane smash-mouth butt-kickin sex-romp. One of the best bad movies ever made.
Patrick Swayze's coolest flick ever, no dancing but plenty of dirt. He plays the ultimate tough guy named Dalton, a bouncer whose brawling skills are pretty much legendary. He gets hired on at a nasty little drinking establishment in order to "clean the place up". Believe me, it needs alot of work.
This is a total guys flick--lots of ... Read More

The great thing about Roadhouse is that it's beyond ridiculous in many ways. I simply love the movie an unhealthy amount. I think we all do. It's on TV every other night, and it never gets old. I'd rather watch Roadhouse for the 100th time than eat dinner. The amazing thing about Roadhouse is, if it were any other movie, people would rip apart the various ways in which it doesn't make sense. I present you the following:

This movie has it all GOOD GUYS, BAD GUYS, SEX DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL!!
Patrick Swayze plays a character that is hired to clean up a bar &
finds out he goin to have to clean up the town up too.
Brat Wesley is basically the town bully thinkin he can do whatever
he want to, cause he thinks just cause he graced the presents of this town and by his thinking made it a better place to live.
He basically thinks he's above the law, it takes Dolton (Patrick Swayze)
