Road House

"Pain Don't Hurt."
This movie is so bad, so stupid, so mindless and so gay that it has become an instant classic. Their is so much mano 'a mano action, machismo, testosterone and blind mindless stupidity, violence and bad hair that you wonder why a female is even in the film. This movie is possibly one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. It is sooooooooooooooo bad and soooooooooooooo stupid that it has actually become a classic.Let me try to break down the reason that I love/hate this movie so much. First... SWAYZE. Good god, for christ sake he looks like somebody from a ballet/break dancing/gay porn movie and he is picked to be some badass 'legendary' bouncer... with a degree in PHILOSOPHY! This moron is supposedly a college grad who actually has a brain and is intelligent but his job and career path and lifes ambition is to be a journey man bouncer in stinky smelly redneck bars. This goof is so famous for being a bouncer that he is known through out the country for his moronic stupid skills and profession. SWAYZE also has the most horrible mullet of all time. He looks like he gets up every morning and spends 3 hours to get his mullet "just right". For god sake he has the same hair style as his leading lady in the movie!!!! Also his fighting style looks like something out of West Side Story. It is more ballet than martial arts. And when he actually fights his nemesis, the right hand man of evil Ben Gazarra they look more like they are doing a primal ritualistic mating dance and when they are threatening each other and trying to intimidate each other they appear like they may start pounding each other vigorously and I don't mean in combat. Then you have the great dialogue like "pain don't hurt" and the repetitive unfunny running joke, "I thought you'd be taller". Good god! Who wrote this crap! The fact that they have females in the movie is a total joke because Dalton appears to be interested in only one thing truely and that is dominating and engaging in man on man physical contact. Oh and don't let me forget his shirtless tai chi as the evil villian watches the every move of his oiled pecs. And the fact that he finishes off his main nemesis in a fight, near a lake with grey cotten sweat pants on and that he has an obvious boner as he pummels the bad guy submission is one of the most unitentionally funny things ever filmed. SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYZE!I can't go on. This movie is so bad and is so unintentionally gay or homoerotic (I think... but who knows what was in the mind of the writer and director) that it is a must see and a 5 star movie. It confuses me because it IS so bad and so moronic and so macho and so completely dumb from head to toe that it is great.What the hell Sam Elliot and Ben Gazarra are doing in something this dumb is beyond me. I can't even figure out why Red West, legendary best friend, high school buddy and body guard of Elvis is doing in this stupid movie. Swayze is perfect because he is a hack actor and just what an 80's action star should be: 1)gay 2)feminine 3)stupid 4) a bad actor 5)able to deliver the dumbest of lines with all the believability in his soul can muster.JESUS THIS MOVIE IS STUPID!

Classy Swayze at his best!
This dvd is a must if you are a Patrick Swayze fan. Typical 80's movie. Swayze plays the mysterious and almost mythical bouncer, who comes to the biker bar from hell to clean it up. The problem is that the whole town is run by a wealthy sleazy narcissistic psychopath. Lots of good fight scenes and good music too. The hilight is probably getting to watch Sam Elliot, who is always a treat to see. Love interest is blonde Barbie and also the local doc. Thankfully Swayze did not believe in graphic sex scenes, so we are spared the embarrassment. There is just enough to foreshadow what was to come the following year in "Ghost." Funny that they do play the exact same song during the love-making scene that they play during the love-making scene in "Dirty Dancing." Were they just trying to capitalize on the previous success? Looks like they could have chosen a different tune. There are no great bonus features on this dvd, and by that I ultimately mean either a behind-the-scenes making of/ retrospective or a feature commentary with Swayze. He must not have been a fan of dvd commentaries because of all the movies of his I have on dvd- probably all of his "big movies" like Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Point Break, City Of Joy, Red Dawn, Too Wong Foo, North and South and some others Tiger Warsaw, Grandview USA, Uncommon Valor, Youngblood, not once does he do a feature commentary. The only instance I can find is on The Outsiders re-issue The Complete Novel he does participate in a feature commentary with certain other cast members. This is the only time I can find that he does this. Not even on his show The Beast but obviously he could not since he passed away before this show came out on dvd. What a shame, because, as a Swayze fan, I would love to hear commentaries with him. Sadly we never will. But Roadhouse is a good Swayze movie- sensitive with action and even a little humor. And classy throughout...

This is a 4K movie. Nothing in the description says anything about it. It has 3 discs, special features, bluray feature film and the 4K movie is the last one.
