Overview

Love, treachery, and broken furniture are the hallmarks of this rollicking action drama. Dalton Patrick Swayze has a Ph.D., but rather than make a living teaching Socrates at some university, he's opted to become a top-drawer "cooler" -- an expert barroom bouncer who can break up fights without getting himself killed in the process. Dalton is hired to keep the peace at the Double Deuce, a rough-and-tumble honky tonk in Jasper, Missouri, where beer-soaked free-for-alls are a nightly event. Dalton is hurt on his ...

More About This Product

Overview

Love, treachery, and broken furniture are the hallmarks of this rollicking action drama. Dalton Patrick Swayze has a Ph.D., but rather than make a living teaching Socrates at some university, he's opted to become a top-drawer "cooler" -- an expert barroom bouncer who can break up fights without getting himself killed in the process. Dalton is hired to keep the peace at the Double Deuce, a rough-and-tumble honky tonk in Jasper, Missouri, where beer-soaked free-for-alls are a nightly event. Dalton is hurt on his first night on the job, and he is patched up by "Doc" Clay Kelly Lynch, a beautiful woman working as the town's physician. Dalton and Doc immediately hit it off, but Dalton learns that another man, Brad Wesley Ben Gazzara, already has his eye on her. Wesley is a man used to getting his way; he's an extortionist and crime boss who has nearly everyone in Jasper under his thumb, and he sets out to teach Dalton a lesson, while Dalton is determined to clean up the town like he breaks up brawls at the Double Deuce. Sam Elliott plays Dalton's mentor Wade, and Red West, a one-time member of Elvis Presley's "Memphis Mafia," appears as Webster; Canadian blues-rock guitarist Jeff Healey leads the Double Deuce house band.

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Kryssa Schemmerling
History may relegate Patrick Swayze to the dust heap of Hollywood has-beens; but with his lead turn in Rowdy Herrington’s Road House, he stakes his claim to cinematic immortality. Swayze, clad in cowboy boots and skin-tight jeans, is Dalton, a former New York University philosophy student and martial arts expert who we kid you not works as a "cooler" head bouncer at a rough-and-tumble honky-tonk in Jasper, Missouri. This place is so tough that the house band led by blind blues guitarist Jeff Healey plays in a cage to protect them from flying bottles and hurled bodies. None of this fazes Dalton, who manages to: keep the unruly rednecks in line without mussing a strand of his blow-dried hair; clean up the town, which is under the thumb of a wealthy thug Ben Gazzara; and get down with a hot blonde doctor Kelly Lynch. Along the way he dodges monster trucks and mouths lines like "Pain don’t hurt" while stitching up his own wounds, Terminator-style. Is this schizophrenic mishmash of westerns, gangster films, and kung fu movies ludicrous? Completely, and that’s what makes Road House so much fun. Swayze, taking the role of soulful hunk to heart, plays the whole thing utterly straight: He’s the ultimate strong-silent screen archetype of the Reagan ‘80s. Bad movies just don’t get any better than this.

    His name is Dalton

    If I lived by the rules that Roadhouse taught me, I'd be insanely invincible. Apparently, having a Ph.D. in Philosophy gets you a job in a dungy bar, pain don't hurt, and I can rip out anyone's throat on a whim while sleeping with crazy hot nurses that don't treat anyone else...and NOT ONE COP while all of this is going on. The storyline is a little far fetched, but it's still a decent flick if you like all that backwoods-stranger-in-town-saves-the-day action. Patrick Swayze beating people up is priceless. Someone had to have an imagination to cast him in a movie like this, therefore, I give Roadhouse 2 stars for the topless nurse, and 1 star for the casting agent.
