This is one cult classic of the late 80s, great action and great Rock.

I was gonna give it a 7 but I felt the need to roundhouse kick the rating up a bit to counter balance the negative soy boys

If this film didn't have someone like Swayze it would be unwatchable. You can cut a film a lot of slack for the time during which it was made but the story and film making here is so bad throughout and especially the climax, that it makes you wonder why they remade it but you don't need to wonder why a remake of bad film that doesn't include it's one redeeming feature, is also bad (I like Gyllenhaal but he was miscast and wasn't convincing when his character finally lost his shit). This film is at least worth watching for Swayze and to a lesser extent some supporting cast members. Maybe more nudity would have helped to distract from the poor story and film making.

I don't think disarming someone and then ripping out their throat qualifies as self-defense. But maybe I'm misjudging the justice system in the US. Anyway, 'Road House' is by no means a great film, but it has certainly earned its cult following. Because, even though the story and characters are truly ridiculous, the film is still entertaining. There is a lot of nudity, and every male character knows martial arts. Accordingly, there's a lot of fighting in the two-hour runtime. Of course, the whole thing is outdated; nowadays, the term 'toxic masculinity' comes to mind. But as a time capsule for the late 80s, 'Road House' actually worked for me after all.

@alfiesgd Toxic masculinity, a term made up by women nobody wants to fck. Man, I hate everything after 2010. Probably right after the millennium.

2024-06 Pretty dumb… 4/10, just a revenge porn movie basically. The setup was intriguing at first but the end was rushed and pretty dumb.

An excellent balance of action and character. I swore this dude looked and sounded like a younger Sam Elliott and darn it, he was. It's got just enough gratuitous nudity to barely cross over into the gratuitous side. It's got just enough violence to really satisfy your blood lust. Patrick Swayze is bloody charming. Kelly Lynch and Julie Michaels are both good in their roles, their roles just aren't written that strong.

Ben Gazzara is just :chefskiss: as the villain.

It deserves it's accolades. I can see why this is a favorite.

And everyone lived happily ever after and no one went to jail for multiple murders and the state police and fbi did not get involved at all, the end

Only the 80's could produce a movie about a Ph.D philosophy student roundhouse-kicking a small town into shape, while simultaneously making it an allegory for unfettered capitalism stifling the little guy and how it must be resisted at all costs via unification of said small businesses. It oozes warm 80s idyllic nostalgia with a great soundtrack and simple good-vs-bad morals. Hard not to like, and I had a good time with it overall.

Had to pop this on before the reboot launches at midnight. I thought I'd seen this growing up but there's a ton I forgot about. Some of the absolute worst fights you'll ever see, but charmingly so. Elliott and Swayze's bromance is top tier and Doc is smokin'. Also features one of the more hilariously feeble looking final bosses you'll ever see. Still, a riot in many parts. Cheese like you wouldn't believe abound. 7.0

As a child of the 80s this movie is a classic. Yes, it reuses the soundtrack from Die Hard. Yes, it's heavy on the cheese. But damn is it not an hour 54 of enjoyment.

As a martial artist and boxer many years ago, Patrick Swayze isn't getting graded high on his belts or winning any tournaments but the fights here serve their purpose well. With the great Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez involved, it makes sense that they work.

Kelly Lynch is always desirable with every watch - and I reckon I've seen this at least a dozen times. Sam is brilliant as Wade too - years before he would bless the Big Lebowski with his timbre.

The 80s gave us great action movies, where logic went out the window and enjoyment reigned supreme. Come to this film with that aim and you'll love it.

8/10

This movie came out when I was two, so it is safe to say I didn't see it when it first came out. I finally got around to watching it now when I am 32. Maybe I missed the hype train, but this is probably one of the worse movies I have ever seen. This movie is a little too self-serious and so is Patrick Swayze's acting. I feel like the writers and directors had seen too many Steven Seagal movies, and wanted to capitalize on the 80s action movie genre by sticking Patrick Swayze in the lead role. There also feels like moments of Caddyshack-esque comedy in this movie, that could of been intentional or unintentional. Sam Elliot is the only saving grace of this film.

As it was voted one of the top 100 most enjoyable bad movies ever made, I must agree. The plot and the acting is somewhat cheesy and laughable at times but the film is far from boring. I enjoyed Swayze’s quiet demeanour and brilliant quotations throughout the movie. The plot is very unrealistic but it is entertaining, and it’s an easy watch, it’s a film I can find myself watching more than once.

I just watched it for the first time (the new 4k UHD looks AMAZING) and I had a blast. As others said, it has a lot of 80s cheese and some problematic female portrayals but I can see why it's a cult hit thanks to cable and the home video market.
