The guy who wanted the 20 bucks to have a guy kiss his wife’s breast was the voice actor for Cobra Commander and Starscream from the 80’s cartoons.

"Road House!" - Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) Family Guy (1999) Fun Fact: According to Kelly Lynch, whenever Bill Murray sees her sex scene with Patrick Swayze on television, he calls her husband, Mitch Glazer, to tease him about it. Music Enthusiast Fact: The band playing at the start of the movie is Cruzados. After the band disbanded, lead singer Tito Larriva formed the band Tito & Tarantula, which is the band that played at the Titty Twister in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). Roundhouse Kick Fact: According to Sam Elliott, all of the actors did their own stunts. They were all trained by Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a holder of nine black belts in nine different disciplines. Urquidez believed so much in Patrick Swayze's abilities, that he suggested Swayze become a competitive kickboxer.

Actually all the actors did their own stunts in this movie!!!!

[@John_Locke_108]

Sammy Elliot didn't even know they were filming a movie.

[@KristopherSlane]

This movie is like the last gasp of the eighties. And i love it.

[@alucard624]

This and Tango and Cash were pretty much the last 80s action flicks.

[@jawbone78]

The 80s didn't end until 1992.

[@John_Locke_108]

I just recently learned that Sam Elliot was 44 years old when he was in Roadhouse. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[@BullseyeForever24]

He’s the reason badass of the movie

[@robabiera733]

The David Cronenberg "The Fly" is not the original. The original came out in 1958. You should watch it.

[@aether6500]

This is a top 10 classic in any VHS collection.

[@6li8storm40]

The fight between Dalton and Jimmy was much realer than you’d think. Swayze apparently ended up in the hospital with a couple broken ribs. Marshall Teague, who played Jimmy, is former military, an ex-cop, and holds two (I think) black belts. He ha droid things to say about Swayze’s skills. (In Teague’s case, at least, your “theatre nerds” comment was far from the mark.) Re: Keith David. He apparently had more scenes filmed, but they were cut. Also, I saw another reaction to this where the guy opened with something about whether this was a good movie, or a “so bad it’s good” movie. A commenter replied that he had discovered the magic of Road House: “It’s both.” I agree.

[@John_Locke_108]

I saw it on VHS when it first came out. I was 12 and I loved every minute of this masterpiece.

[@mrgonzale0978]

dude. Patrick maybe a dancer but his skills help him do this kind of movies. and for your info every actor did their own stunts. including Keith David who had a fight scene and for some reason it was cut off.

[@Tabris93]

He also knew martial arts and boxing before this movie.

[@DanJackson1977]

This is a Joel Silver production. The guy behind Die Hard, Predator, 48hrs, Leathal Weapon and The Matrix. Also known as the director yelling at Roger Rabbit about seeing birds around his head... and for being an ambulatory pile of cocaine.

[@williamjones6031]

1. This was my first Patrick Swazye movie and I've seen as many of his other films as I could. RIP Pat 2. He was a professional ballet dancer, but injured his knee so he took up acting. "Ghost", "The Outsiders", "Dirty Dancing" and "Red Dawn" would be more of him. 3. Who doesn't love Sam Elliot? 4. Location goof: Mountains can be seen in some long shots. There aren't any mountains near Kansas City. 5. This didn't get the love it deserved. It has now become classic. 6. This holds the claimed title "The best bad movie ever". I disagree. I love it. 7. The new "Roadhouse" tries too hard. No $20 from me.

[@TheDivayenta]

It was shot near Ventura, CA

[@williamjones6031]

@@TheDivayenta Still a goof.

[@darrelltoth7527]

Quit calling stupid movies stupid, just enjoy the good bad movies

No

ALLEDGLY BLONDE BAD WOMAN WAS 18 YRS OLD AT THE TIME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME. FUCK WITH HIM HE WILL SEAL YOUR FATE. THE NAMES DALTON

[@ReymundoCortez]

Noone of us understood that line about his time in prison. Especially since the guy that plays Jimmy (Marshall Teague) is a real martial artist and bad ass at the time. Just didn't go with the guys character.

[@Sam_of_Anarchy92]

@Blunt Reactions theres also a sequel to this movie called Road house 2: Last Call 2006

[@protovision2010]

great movie + reaction! With a director named 'Rowdy' it's gotta be fun! Check out "Point Break" (1991 original), for more great Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves first action movie(!). PS: In 'The Fly' (1986), you do see the redhead from the bar boobs back at Brundle's place. 👍

[@BluntReactionsBB]

You have to see full nipples for it to count as boobs. From: Bryan

[@Streak09]

@@BluntReactionsBB interview Marshall mentioned he won 500 bucks on the river fight with Patrick water 42 degrees

[@killianlpc]

Crazy to think that most of the major characters in the original Road House are all now dead, Patrick Swayze, Ben Gazzara and Jeff Healey. It was a great movie, will be hard for the 2024 version to match this, but the clips look good. Love the bit when Swayze gives his pep talk to the bouncers at the DD, and he says 'we have got them all here. Power Drinkers!' etc, etc

[@toodlescae]

Pretty sure the movie did ok. $15 million budget to $61 million box office in '89. Everyone I know loved it. The "critics" didn't. Bunch of snobby reviews. Unfortunately they were the only reviews available back then. I stopped listening to them in the 70's. They almost always gave bad reviews to movies I absolutely loved.

[@alucard624]

Those same critics heap lavish praise on crap nobody ever watches ie art house flicks that are straight up Oscar bait most of the time.

[@toodlescae]

@@alucard624 exactly. They thought they were so far above the "common" people who just didn't understand those "art" films. We understood. We understood they were boring af.

[@BullseyeForever24]

Talk it up brothers yall are cool ass hell!!😮😮

[@spacemonkey7457]

Jackie Treehorn lmao! 😂😂

[@stobe187]

This is such a fascinating tonal rollercoaster. Small town movie fused with a hollywood action film - chill surfer philosophy, monster trucks, tons of explosions, a John Wick-esque web of mythic bouncer lore, throat ripping, a love story.. it's a bit of a mess but that's exactly why I think this movie rules. They had no chance in remaking this insane concoction.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

don't forget boobs and Sam Elliot...

[@BullseyeForever24]

Another awesome reaction guys yall kickass !!

[@colinlock-lv9vv]

I WAS 16 OR 17 AT TIME OF THIS MOVIE, HOW OLD ARE YOU TWO GUYS WATCHING IT FOR FIRST TIME. CLASSIC

[@BluntReactionsBB]

About a decade younger. I really enjoyed it!

[@PhatLayCes7825]

This flick is ZZ Top/ Lynyrd Skynyrd soundtrack meets a Western. It has become a cult classic. RIP Patrick Swayze and old egg sucking dog, hardcore legend Terry Funk

[@themccallpack1089]

This is a classic the 2 road house is called last call the new one is ok

[@nickblood7080]

Event Horizon is a great movie! This is a one of a kind bat shit amazing movie!

[@randyhein7324]

The next Roadhouse is a a joke compared to the original

[@ReymundoCortez]

Guys that have never been punched trying to say what realistic fighting looks like.😂😂😂 same type of people that go to games and talk trash to professional players claiming they could do better.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Genius, how do you know one of us doesn’t know how to fight?

[@BluntReactionsBB]

My nose says otherwise.

[@charliemac64]

A truly bad movie, but a guilty pleasure. 😂

[@Howiex-is8gq]

A great kick ass film...😂...

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Oh. Well watch it.

[@Howiex-is8gq]

Point break ..u missed...

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Sorry. We don’t understand broken thoughts.

[@ReymundoCortez]

Crticis trashed almost all macho action movies in the 80s. And back then there was no rotten tomatoes or anything like that. The only reviews that were ever published were from stuck up critics that most of the times only gave rave reviews for dramas.

[@BluntReactionsBB]

That’s a great point.

[@js0988]

Yeah, do yourself a favor and DO NOT WATCH the 2024 abomination!

[@BluntReactionsBB]

Too late! I will say it is not a great movie, but it does not try to be. It is fun and entertaining. I can understand if people feel otherwise. Thanks for commenting!
