"Red Webster: How long are you gonna be in town?
Dalton: Not very long.
Red Webster: That's what I said 25 years ago.
Dalton: Really? What happened?
Red Webster: I got married to an ugly woman. Don't ever do that. It just takes the energy right out of you. She left me, though. Found somebody even uglier than she was. That's life. Who can explain it?"
amazing. - vanadium77, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Mystery Science Theater 3000 FTW.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14The only value it had for me was that it inspired the now-classic Christmas Carol, "Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas":
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2ZyJCV_dyug - russellnation, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8man why does he have to rip howard the duck. I love that movie.
- salinemist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I love how it's supposedly set outside of Kansas City, then there are scenic mountains in the background of every shot.
- cambob76, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Does double viking ever have articles that don't suck? Give me a break!
- ButterBuddha, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6"It's something to watch until adult swim comes on." - martinj88 .....This man has his priorities straight....
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Jimmy: Prepare to die.
Dalton: You are such an *****.
*****, that's almost as classic as these lines from Robot Monster (paraphrased from memory):
Little boy: You're just a big bully who likes to pick on people smaller than himself.
Ro-man: Now I will kill you.
- thehans, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7"I use to ***** guys like you in Prison!"
I'm not sure but is that suppose to be a complement. - Spacecow, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I recall reading that this is Mike Nelson (of MST3K)'s favorite bad movie of all time. His RiffTrax commentary on it is essential listening.
- martinj88, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4FYI for any one on the UK, Road House is on BBC1 at 23:35 so about 15mins from the time of this message.
It's something to watch until adult swim comes on. - jcrash, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5The fact so many people have seen it means it is ok. I've seen it many times. It is a classic.
- santaliqueur, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Pain don't hurt.
- bbkj1211, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Check out Kevin Smith's commentary on the Deluxe Edition DVD of Roadhouse. Funny *****!
- eatsushi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3What are you supposed to say to that?
"I used to ***** guys like you in prison!"
"You liar!" - Lister169, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I'm surprised it wasn't the "Top Ten Reasons Roadhouse Doesn't Suck".
- repawn, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Road house has everything: *****, ass, broken glass, monster trucks and bar fights. What more do you need form a cheesy 80's action movie?
- Johnny100Pesos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Jeff Healey was indeed the best thing in the movie...when he appeared, he was an up-and-coming blues great.
Where is he now? Still doing a little music, but he is now just another bar owner in Toronto. I'm not sure what Roadhouse has to do with his present condition. - pennvneff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Road House is one of those movies that I am ashamed to admit that I own and love. Dalton's the reason why I became a philosophy major in college.
- tripster2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3No, it sucked. But, it did have Jeff Healey who is brilliant (google him, then buy his records)
- Shakermaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm not ashamed to say that I love the film!
- alpinweiss88, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4I have always liked bad movies like this. You can actually get some good philosophical nuggets out of them. From Road House, i like:
Dalton: If somebody gets in your face and calls you a *****, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal.
Steve: Being called a ***** isn't personal?
Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.
Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
Dalton: Is she?
Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.
It's really tough to get something out of a Seagal movie though... but here it is, out of Marked For Death:
Screwface: Everybody want Heaven, nobody want dead.
(You have to imagine the Jamaican accent) - highlyirritable, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Has Chuck Norris lost his shine?
- myshambar, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5I hate all these posts about (movies/albums/etc.) that are secretly brilliant and that everyone should watch. Everybody has an opinion on a movie, you don't need to post your personal favorites on digg. *****.
- IADTatami, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3"You're too STUPID to have a good time!"
- 10001110101, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098206/quotes
Classics! - Grouser, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Good things about Road House:
o Realistic fighting sequences (except the throat ripping stuff).
o Jeff Healy music.
o Bizarre dialogue, e.g.:
You havin' trouble?
Oh, you know — nothing I'm not used to. But it's amazing what you can get used to, huh?
Yeah, tell me about it. This place has a sign hangin' over the urinal that says, "Don't eat the big white mint". - indarkestday, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6I love how everybody in the movie instantly recognizes Patrick Swayze as the number one bouncer in the world. How do you keep standings on such a thing? And why do so many people care?
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2road house rocks. my fav part (aside from the throat ripping) is James Dalton (Swayze) not noticing an two idiots watching him from an idling monster truck. Oh him ***** Jackie Treehorn's girlfriend was up there and she was hot. I mean come on its a movie about bar fights!
- terrya64, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The best part of Road House was Sam Elliot!
- smacksaw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3He is totally right - it's like Crash (the good one, with James Spader) or American Psycho. If you watch them on the superficial level, they are terrible. They're supposed to be. It's supposed to be so bad that it either forces you to leave it, thereby missing the point/joke or re-examine it and get what it's really about.
That's value in a film, where it gives you something to come back to and something other than what you were expecting. Most people go to movies to get lost, escape and not use their brain and think. This movie isn't meant for them. - JettaMan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Gotta watch the Rifftrax of this one. It's hysterical.
- goosepillows, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2i can now guess when submissions are double viking articles.
is double viking paying for submissions, or are the writers doing the work themselves?
they are like the cracked magazine writers, they try way too hard to be humorous.
much like many adult swim programs
and dane cook
and before i'm dugg down for criticizing adult swim, i don't find irreverence to be inherently funny
it has to be clever, just "going there" does not comedy make - torrzilla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1
There's always barber college - highlyirritable, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was just at the video store, there is a Road House 2 no Patrick Swayze... I wonder why
- WileEPeyote, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Actually, it wasn't a bad for an 80's action flick. I'd watch it again before I'd watch SW:EPIII again.
- gordonp, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3"Your gonna be my regular Saturday night thing"
- BaysideTigers, on 02/27/2009, -0/+1Opinions vary but I think that Roadhouse is the perfect movie. Explosions, monster trucks, relentless villains, hot chicks, fist fights, knife boots, coolers, bouncers, throat shredding & SWAYZE!
- simplejoe79, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1well never heard about this movie but well i like the quote >>"I used to ***** guys like you in prison!"......lolz
- frostieDude, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The best part of Road House is the fact that John Doe (of the classic punk band "X") is in the movie and has a really memorable line: "Come on, chicken dick!"
- abibaby, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6Oh *****, I work for Roadhouse.com.au a software company. Never knew it was a Film.
- VeganG, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The best part is when Arnold rips out that girl's car seat for no apparent reason.
- sysoprock, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2His name is Dalton!
- socokoolaid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I hated that dumb movie
- stayhale, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You forgot Ben Gazzara chasing Swayze with a spear.
- donotdigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The best of the film was when he hit it (around the 10-15m mark, IIRC)
- pitlord, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"I used to ***** guys like you in prison!"
LOL
> - FunkyPits, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1By those standards then Brian Bosworth's or The Bos movie should be considered great as well. Now lets see if anyone remembers Stone Cold. That had *****, ass, broken glass, a monster truck, a biker gang, and a washed up roid head who can't act. Thats what I call classic 80's action flick. Oh and yes he did have a mullet as well.
- Klaumbaz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You weren't even a twinkle in your daddy's eye when it came out. When i was in school when it came out it was a masterpiece of art, i mean i guys fricken throat got ripped out. You never saw it or him getting it on with the hot Doc when you had to watch it on the "eventually" Fox affiliate local stations.
Yes, this movie predates the Fox Network. It's that old. - pascalosti, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4the article was worse then the movie, and its a ***** movie
