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… ---

Man, you guys are WAY off the mark. All I can say is _“Be nice, until it is time to stop being nice!”_ I was in the ER last night after slicing my thumb open, and I was able to use the line, _“Pain don’t hurt.”_😛 MAN I gotta see this flick again! ---

Definitely one of the all-time great Dixie Mafia movies. ---

**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.” ---

Wow, you’d never seen Road House? Watch it one more time with the Kevin Smith commentary track. ---

I’m gonna go with _Sin City_. Although the male nudity was of the yellow variety and not enjoyable in any way. Crap, how long did I have that window open? I thought I was going to be post #5. I’m not sure I count Patrick Swayze’s chest as male nudity. ---

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. 😛 ---
