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.
Seeing parts of this movie years ago. I always thought Kevin Tighe “who pushed his own son out a window in Lost”, was the villain. Especially since he has played a villain so much, that you just can’t trust his face.
Ben Gazzara plays the villain though, a rich a-hole who thinks he owns the entire town and everyone in it. Who also has it out for Swayze for getting with his hot doctor ex wife played by Kelly Lynch.
Who as soon as she meets Swayze, it feels like it go straight into a porn scene lol.
You also have Marshall R. Teague as Gazzara’s head henchman. When he says he wants Swayze’s ass, he means it. Since he f’ed guys like him in prison.
After finally seeing the movie, I do see why many viewers who aren’t critics love it. I also get why critics hated it. Though I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.
