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 nudity, bloody fistfights, cheesy dialogue, and absurd incidents. Having sex during your break at work--what manly man hasn't dreamed of that?
Besides the erotic overload, this movie is also gizzing with violent action and redneck humor. The acting isn't great, but it's not porno-grade either. Way too cool bros, pick this up pronto!

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:
The Top 15 unbelieveable things about Roadhouse that we all completely overlook every time we watch it
1) Coolers?! HAHA! Like such a profession exists.
2) At one point during the movie, the blind guy (Jeff Healey) says to Daulton, "Good to see you."
3) A blind musician, with a good voice, a unique style of play, with a good band, resorts to playing at the pre-Daulton version of the Double Deuce? Seriously? They can't get a better booking?
4) The drummer from the band looks like Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter.
5) "I thought you'd be bigger." They say this because Patrick Swayze is an inch or two away from legally being a midget; yet, he's the best damn cooler in the business. Riiiiight.
6) Several people in the movie have the 1980's afro-mullets.
7) Daulton is into Tai Chi AND chain smokes?
8) His medical records provide the fact that he's a bouncer, but also state that he has a Philosophy degree from NYU?
9) Nobody in town has ever heard of law enforcement on a federal level? Nobody in town knows a lawyer? How they let Brad Wesley just run over the town is as far-fetched as a plotline can get.
10) For such a small, dirtbag town, doesn't there seem to be an incredible number of attractive women?
11) Brad Wesley rules this town with an iron fist, and the help of about six henchmen. All the people in town can't fight the six?
12) Anyone who has ever been in more than one fight knows that you have to be fierce, and sometimes get angry. Yet Dalton's advice is to "Be nice"?
13) Aside from the fact that Patrick Swayze is as believeable as a cooler as Keanu Reeves is as a good actor, Sam Elliot's scrawny, ragged butt (as cool as he is, he is sorta frail looking) is the guy who's supposed to be even better at the job than Dalton?
14) Does the entire town of Jasper run without the intervention of any cops?
15) The sexually confused lead henchman for Brad Wesley utters the now famous, "I used to F' guys like you in prison!" Is that not one of the funniest things ever said during a fight scene?
The greatness of Roadhouse is that you never question the absolute preposterous nature of the movie. You go with the flow; watch Dalton take out the trash, clean up the Double Deuce, bang the hot nurse, and act as a catalyst for the rest of the town finally standing up against Brad Wesley...and you never bat an eye.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I can't recommend this movie highly enough.

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)
to let him know that he isn't.
Dolton is a cooler for the DOUBLE DUCE and he starts by firing Brad's Nephew, then the stakes get a little higher every time they meet until it come down to where Brad gets a little to close by trying to kill Doltons land lord Emmit, as one of Brad hinch men is riding off Dolton runs a catches up with him, it turns in to punch out brawl until the end the other guy trys to pull out a gun and shot Dolton and Dolton pulls out his throat.
Dolton in all this mess he meets a girl by goin to the hospital to
get stitched up from a knife cut!!
So anyway the next day Brad calls Dolton up and asked which person
should die the girl or a friend played by SAM ELLIOTT.
So Dolton decides to leave town, he goes to his girlfriend to get her to go with him, but she won't leave.
So he go back to the bar where he's meetin his friend, and his friend is dead.
He heads strait to Brad's basically kills everyone except for Brad and 3
business owners of the town take care of him!!
I rate this movie a 10 from 1to10!!

With the intensity of Patrick Swayze, beauty of Kelly Lynch, bad boy image of Sam Elliot and the musical brilliance of Jeff Healey this is a movie that can't be missed. It revolves around a bar owner wanting to turn a redneck bar full of brawls, drunks and skanks into a classy club with a clientele that actually knows what a checking account is. In order to clean out the unwanted elements he hires a Cooler with a reputation for being the best in the business, which is Dalton (Patrick Swayze). Somehow you'd think a cooler would be bigger, but he works in this role and carries it off without flaw. He gets to showcase his talents in martial arts and creates some of the hottest love scenes with, Dr. Clay (Kelly Lynch), that ever hit the big screen.
There are some problems along the way, mainly Brad Wesley, the self-proclaimed "owner" of the town where the Double Deuce Bar is located. Wesley and his band of meatheads expect every business owner to pay their "town beautification fee" each week and have manipulated the supply of whisky so Wesley receives most of every dollar spent at the bar. He's use to getting his way and he's not going to give up his profiteering without a fight, he sets out to run Dalton out of town. Realizing that Dalton is not easily manipulated and/or intimidated Wesley begins sending his enforcers to do the dirty work of getting rid of him, one way or another. When they can't seem to get the job done Wesley begins inflicting pain and despair among the friends Dalton has grown close to in the small town.
When Dalton thinks he might be getting in over his head he calls in his old friend Wade (Sam Elliot) and that's when things go from bad to worse, the enforcers get bigger in numbers and their tactics get deadly. People have known Wesley their whole lives but have only known Dalton for a few short weeks, which one do you think they finally take the side of? This one has an ending you don't see coming and though it's deadly it also has moments of humor.
Watch this movie if only to hear the Double Deuce Bar's house band, which Jeff Healey brilliantly sings for and leads. This movie has something for everyone, the men will love the fighting and the women, the women will enjoy the love story and the views of some extremely handsome men, both will love the music and the humorous moments that have created some of the funniest quotes anywhere. This movie is among my all time favorites list.
