Road House (1989) was 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'll 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 the eighties classic ROAD HOUSE.
A fun action film that's filled with a fair share of homo-eroticism. Adding this element in action films was real popular during this time period. I'll never know why they like to throw this into the mix. If you can ignore that usual clichés, logic pitfalls and the gay overtones, then you'll love this movie.
Recommended for cheesy film fans.
