Patrick Swayze a bouncer?

May 15, 2009

by Captain_Couth

Rating:

Road House is another starring vehicle for rising star Patrick Swayze. He plays a sensitive professional bone breaker who's always trying to make a difference where ever he goes. He's hired by a wealthy club owner (Kevin Tighe) who wants to clean up his most popular night club. But when he arrives, several employees don't like his methods. They either quit or they're fired. After a rough night, Patrick meets a sweet doctor (Kelly Lynch) who sweeps him off of his feet. The local crime boss (Ben Gazarra) doesn't like the rise in competition and decides to make life miserable for our hero when he makes the decision to not play ball. After a rise in violence, Patrick decides to bring his mentor (Sam Elliot) in to help even the odds.

What will happen next? Will a broken down bouncer be enough to stem the onslaught of thugs? How will our hero handle this hot situation? Why will the local crime boss stop at nothing to get rid of our hero? When will people stand up against the bullies? To find out you'll have to watch ROAD HOUSE.

Classic 80's film. Filled with a lot of bad outfits, terrible haircuts and a lot of overacting. If you enjoy bad movies then you'll want to check out this flick.

My favorite Patrick Swayze movie. I loved that Jeff Healey was in it as well. Two great talents that are gone :( At least this movie lives on.

Where else can you see Swayze rip out a villain's throat? Seriously!
