Join the Born to Watch team as we we discuss the 1989 Patrick Swayze action epic Road House. Swayze plays Dalton the bouncer who lives like a loner, fights like a pro and loves like there is no tomorrow. The BTW team put their spin on Road House and answer all the big questions.
Episode 10 - Road House the movie is a 1989 American action thriller film starring Patrick Swayze and directed by Rowdy Herrington. Swayze stars as Dalton a bouncer at the Jasper bar, The Double Deuce who tries to protect the small town from a corrupt businessman. Road House also stars Sam Elliot as the gruff bouncer Wade Garrett and for once he isn't sporting his trademark moustache but his voice can't be mistaken. Kelly Lynch plays Dalton's love interest "Doc" who not only heals Dalton's physical scars but also his emotional ones.
The movie was released on May 26, 1989, and was met with mixed reviews. It grossed over $60 million in total box office but it was upon home video release that it became a cult hit and earned over $200 million.
Road House is a favourite of the BTW team and it was fun to revisit this movie that all of us grew up with. Casting a 40-something eye over Road House ensured that the legacy within the BTW team may have been changed forever.
