The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

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.

If you feel like watching a good movie, don’t watch Road House. If you want a macho sleazy movie with a ton of bar fights, then it is for you.
Definitely the kind of guilty pleasure that Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man was. That would make a pretty good double feature.

The name is Dalton and we thought he would be bigger.

Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is a highly regarded professional cooler of bars and clubs. He is hired by Frank Tilghman (Kevin Tighe) to clean up his Double Deuce Road House down in Jasper, Missouri. A rough drunken and bloody place, the Double De More
