I love Roadhouse.

When my ex-wife and I first broke up and I had to move out on my own, I was so goddamn poor that I couldn't afford internet, or even a phone. Through a workplace charity that donated stuff to school-age mothers, I was given an old TV and VCR that was so outdated none of the pregant teens even wanted it. The only good movie they had on cassette was Roadhouse.

During the dark winter of 2009, as I saved money to leave Oregon, my only human contact was co-workers I barely spoke to, clerks selling me cheap malt liquor, and Roadhouse. I left it in the VCR on repeat, and had it playing in the background constantly until spring came and I had enough saved to move to California. Roadhouse kept me going when I should have just given up.

That's a true story.

I also have a prop shirt worn by an extra on Roadhouse. I'll take a picture and post it when I get to work in a bit.

might be the best post ive ever seen on SA.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
Roadhouse is absolutely a powerful enough piece of moving picture cinema to have saved not just one, but many lives.

Uh... Kupo?

The absurdity of the premises of Roadhouse is only outshone by the even more absurd second half. When Swayze graduates from out-punching armed drunks to tearing out throats, we realize that the good Buick was in front of us the whole time.

I saw Roadhouse for the first time two months ago and I'm still mad no one I knew told me this movie wasn't at all what I assumed it was since it was actually my favorite movie of all time

The twist in the movie is how the star of the movie wasn't the Roadhouse at all, but the sexy farmhouse where one is encouraged to do shirtless tai chi.

I preferred your last avatar, so I put it back. My apologies to the pedo who purchased your last one (it's always projection).
Fun fact: Red West, who played the red-headed guy who ran the auto parts store, was one of Elvis' "Memphis Mafia," a best friend and hanger-on who helped The King TCB. He wrote a tell all book called "Elvis: What Happened," published shortly before Elvis' death, purportedly as an attempt to show some tough love and scare him straight. Instead, it has been cited as a factor into driving Elvis into deep depression, and maybe even his death on the toilet at age 42.

It's a good book. I have it.

Also, John Doe from the seminal LA punk band X plays the first bartender at the Double Deuce who gets fired by Dalton for skimming from the till.

No, I just pretended I was Tinker driving a monster truck, so I felt like I was king of the universe.

Wish I'd thought of that, most I've ever pretended is that I was cutting people's heads off with a katana, so I felt like one of the princes of the universe.

You forgot to mention pro wrestling hardcore icon Terry Funk was an important goon for tinker.

He kept taking small parts in movies like this so he could keep his badly needed health insurance through the screen actors guild.

The ranch he lives on is called the double cross ranch.

This is my best friend's favorite movie. I asked him what I should name this bunny that lives in front of my house, and he said Dalton. There is no question you can ask him that he can't or won't answer with something Roadhouse related.
