Road House Review: Does The Remake Hold A Candle To The Original?

[@Inspadave]

I like that Gyllenhaall does not have a Dwayne Johnson/Jason Statham/Vin Diesel ego problem about getting his ass kicked.

[@JoBloOriginals]

That’s really what makes this work IMO

Honestly those guys need to toss that clause and relearn what makes greats great. Not losing isn't it.

[@OntarioBearHunter]

Because he can play more than himself.. Statham is pretty good, better than the other 2 , but yeah no comparison to JG. Reminds me of the story of a kid coming up to George Peppard on Home From the Hill asking if he's a movie star,he said " NO I'm am an actor".. pointed to George Hamilton " He's a movie star". JG is an actor, the other 3 are movie stars.

[@easymentality]

Gyllenhaal's a legit actor's actor. You can't be that AND have an ego about yourself.

[@cerebrix]

Jason Statham is a man I can't take seriously having been in my teens in the 90's. Gold speedos and glitter all over his body in the Shaman comin on video. I just can't see him as tough after that. every film hes in, i think about that video and his tough guy act looks rediculous. like someone cast Ben Shapiro as a pro wrestler or something. It's just ridiculous.

[@ultrablue2]

If the movie is so removed from the original, why name it after the original? The answer is they need nostalgia to get it noticed. I think this hurts the new movie by endless comparisons.

[@LucyLioness100]

I don’t think Swayze would have been offended. Course he isn’t here to give his thoughts, but I think he would’ve been supportive given his kind nature

[@cerebrix]

I actually had a conversation with Patrick here in Albuquerque. Somewhere around late 1995. Literally just saw him meet up with a friend in the parking lot of my local theater. Patrick was in town for the arabian horse show they used to have here. He was big into buying and selling horses in his spare time. Anyway, he was meeting up with a friend from the show to take them to go see Three Wishes. Anyway, as I was walking by and noticed who he was. I asked him, being a martial arts nerd I've been my whole life what his thoughts on Bill "Superfoot" Wallace were. Dude stopped dead in his tracks and we talked martial arts until he had to go. about 15 minutes. What I learned from that conversation is that dude DEEPLY loved martial arts. Guys knowledge ran pretty deep honestly. Anyway, had he lived, he totally would have loved following the MMA scene and how it's exposed that basically all traditional martial arts are complete bullshit con operations. That guy would have LOVED the evolution it's gone through. The guy I talked to, he would have welcomed a modernization of the movie and likely would have been helping promote it. The guy didn't talk trash. He was way too respectful of other martial artists for any of that.

[@jimapplebee5322]

@@cerebrix Plus, I think Jake as Dalton would have made him very happy. Jake has talked about how Patrick & his wife were very supportive of him when he was just starting out. That is so f'n cool, you talking to Patrick like that.

[@cerebrix]

@@jimapplebee5322 It was cool, totally random. I had only recently moved to Albuquerque and had no idea they had a huge horse show at the time. Was still adjusting to New Mexico's very unique culture. I remember seeing him chilling on the hood of some car thinking "that dude looks just like patrick swayze". I went over to tell him how much he looked like him as a joke but as I got closer I was like "holy shit that's totally the guy". He was super cool about it. Really good dude. I studied Martial Arts from 6-18 and met a lot of traditional martial artists over the years. He had a really level headed approach to where American martial arts were at. We talked about how I had to quit Tae Kwon Do and take Kempo and American style kickboxing so I didn't have garbage hands. He mentioned a few arts he studied, I don't remember which, but we connected on how it was impossible at the time to find 1 art to make you a well rounded martial artist. Patrick would have loved MMA.

Fair assessment... Your points make sense. I liked this a little better. I had a really good time watching this with my mother and we both laughed, dug the action and liked that it wasn't a rehash of the original. I also felt like "if" they were to do a sequel of sorts that Conor and Jake's characters should team the FK up... Why not. This movie was played fairly straight till the point Jake goes the FK off. You see he really is dark. Anti-hero of sorts. A good guy that if pushed too far goes dark and doesn't give a FK all the way through. Those were my take aways. As you say, great B movie. I agree...

As most are going to have sound systems, subs, etc. From there it just goes up with options, adaptive rear lighting, amazing seating, snacks that aren't $40+ each thing... from drinks, to candy, to popcorn....

I like em both, real campy, some corny dialogue, great performance by a tree named Fred. Didn't seem to take itself too seriously, I'd watch it again just like I'd rewatch the OG again.

[@Stamatos]

Great review! I get the feeling we spent our weekends in about the same way between 88-95. I'll be checking this out.

[@necessaryevil455]

I like that you don't use an AI voiceover.

[@Vlabar]

The fact that Roadhouse is being remade is an indictment against Hollywood and the studios. They cant make anything new that's good. What's next? A remake of no retreat, no surrender?

[@LeonardoKlotz]

The way Henry Braham uses colors is out of this world

[@stoutrhino9089]

B movie?! The stars alone knocks it out of that Category.

[@connormcleod9595]

Pleasantly surprised. Very well made and entertaining remake. Bravo❤

[@gilrandall315]

Let's be clear Patrick Swayze is the man 1 Will always be a classic ... I never recall Dalton Beating somebody up. And then drive them to the hospital...😒.... Respect to jake He's a pretty solid actor .

[@lakvindersingh4632]

Gyllenhaal is a legit serious role actor. Fact he can pull off action roles shows how great an all rounder he is.

[@dunduddy]

I was skeptical on watching it. Im not disappointed that did watch it. It was a good movie, id watch it again. Plus McGregor was pure jokes.

[@donnadoyawanna1]

Just watched it on streaming, had low expectations but actually found it enjoyable. No where near as good as original but Hollywood needs to make more movies like this. Low budget action films with over the top hero’s and villains!!

[@LuckyHitter_30]

Idc about the reviews this movie looks badass jake is a master at his craft awesome actor cant wait to see it!!!

[@frozencowboy6552]

Action effects story etc are amazing. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He is right about one thing. It can't touch the original. But it wasn't meant to. This was meant to be a different story arc. Think multiverse. As a stand alone movie this was VERY good. Job well done.

[@shaunmatthewcpoetry]

They just remake everything now, I've not seen the Point Break remake because I imagine that to be crap too.

[@JoBloOriginals]

This is a million times better than that piece of crap :)

[@shaunmatthewcpoetry]

Nice!@@JoBloOriginals

[@nater86zx]

If you saw The Fast and the Furious, you saw the Point Break remake.

[@jacobfilasky2729]

@@nater86zxlol because point break came out before that franchise and had to rip it off

[@lv2465]

I'll watch it, but Patrick Swazye is always gonna be Dalton. And Sam Elliott Wade Garrett.

[@simonwoodthrillerwriter]

The original is going to be hard to beat. I've rewatched the film a couple of times recently and it still holds up as great popcorn flick.

[@YouMustBeOutYourMind]

What? The original is so bad. The script, the dialogue, the acting, the fight scenes, the plot, everything about that movie was straight garbage. It was a glorified B movie at best.

[@josephaaron4985]

The blood, sweat, & tears he put into his body for this role, in addition to him just being a great actor, I can't wait to see what Jake does in this remake. Love the original, I just hope this one does nicely.

[@adventurefilms]

This isn't the Dalton from the first original, and I didn't want it to be... I was hoping for a fresh take on a great movie and I got that. I really liked his personality, always being nice, trying to help, (even the people he beat up). Feel free to listen to other's opinions, but just watch it for yourself and decide for yourself.

[@Petestanton]

No Swayze , Sam Elliott or Jeff Healey?...,.. no Roadhouse

[@Mike__B]

Saw this on Prime the other day, and yeah "direct to video" really paints a picture of where this movie needs to be. Gyllenhaal was not a great star for his roll, he seemed like too nice of a guy for someone who fights for a living, and even McGreggory had a goofy smile on his face the whole time which granted gave him the psychopath look really well just didn't seem to fit in right with the movie. There are some nods to the original, the waitress bringing him breakfast the first morning (no Jake in the buff though), there is a romance with the doctor but much more subdued in nature, even a nod to the "pain don't hurt" staple scene you felt was coming... but he didn't want any of that instead opting for a big bandage. I will say the MacGuffin for the movie of wanting to have a resort on the property and she is the last one to not sell is a bit better than the original where the guy was pissed because his nephew got fired. But in general none of the characters felt very memorable or part of the story really, there's the young girl at the book store who has like 3 scenes in the whole movie, there's barely a scene with one new bouncer he hires... "oh you have scars on your knuckles... ok you're hired!" type of scene, heck the owner of the bar felt like she was barely in the movie.

[@gearzdesign]

So I just watched this, and I found it actually entertaining. Gyllenhaal completely carries this movie, and McGregor was unhinged (as Jeremy mentioned). You have to watch this as seperate from the original, though. As it's own movie, it's a decent watch.

[@wbcwinnipegbeltcollector]

Didn't they say the "Roadhouse" can't be accessed by Boat which is why they unload Booze through the front? On a Dolly They mention that there's no reason for them to want it cause literally the land is useless for bringing stuff in, so how did the Boats smash into the Roadhouse if it wasn't the depth to be able to drive a boat up?
