My friend was astounded that I had never seen this cinematic masterpiece, so he rented it for us to watch.
I was gobsmacked! This movie had EVERYTHING you could possibly want in fine film entertainment. That is presuming what you want is sex, M&F nudity (which is never gratuitous), great tunes, fights, martial arts, shootings, explosions, car crashes, evil villians, tons of quotable lines, and even a monster truck. Plus it has the timeless glamour that was late 80s clothing and hairstyle.
I’m sure I don’t need to say anything more to make clear the masterpiece to which I refer…
Ron White - “Six bouncers picked me up and hurled me out of that bar like I was a Frisbee. Those big old New York bouncers that think about bouncing. They hang out with other bouncers, talking about bouncing. They go home at night and watch Road House and fondle themselves.”
Not sure how I ever missed it. Guess it came out when I was outta school, and starting new job, marriage, and family. And this wasn’t the type of “date movie” my wife and I would pick.
I’m serious about this being a great movie, tho. Still find myself smiling just stinking about it. Probably worth watching if only to see Jeff Healey playing behind the barricade…
I hear next up I oughtta see Point Break. Maybe convince my fambly that a Patrick Swayze retrospective is in order.
