Otis’s commentary on the movie Roadhouse (1 Viewer)

[sho nuff]

Great movie.  Bill Murray is a big fan too.

I love Road House even more now.

You're a smart boy, aren't you, Charlie? You're just not too realistic. Christ, he came up the hard way, from the streets of Chicago. You know, when he came to that town after Korea there was nothing. He brought the mall there. He got the 7-Eleven. He got the Fotomat there. Christ, JC Penney is came there because of him!  You ask anybody, they'll tell you.

He has a purpose on this earth. A destiny.  He has a faith in that destiny. It tells him to gather unto him what is his.

... and that made it personal for Wesley: that bartender was Wesley's nephew. His sister's kid.

And if he is not there to look out for him, well then who.?  I mean everybody knows he has a weak constitution.

Love how preposterous these 80's movies plots are in hindsight. 

Midwest bar wants to clean its act. Only apparent option is bouncer from out east. But the clean-up is foiled by small town rich guy for no significant reason.  East coast bouncer must defeat rich guy and his goons.   

good summary.   I dislike this movie with a passion because, well just because.  The knife that protrudes from the guy's cowboy boot was the last straw for me.

different strokes & all that.

I LOVES me some Roadhouse! Yeah, the plot is weak. Who cares? I tend to avoid the Academy faves in favor of movies like this. Anybody complaining about this movie reminds me of my 11 year old wanting to debate the physics and reality behind Sponge Bob.

Dalton gets $5k up front and $500- per night.  That would be $187,500- if he worked every single day.  FBGs do better and don't get stabbed or involved in murder.....I think.

Almost $400k in today's dollars

Almost $400k in today's dollars

But he only needs him for a short period of time.

Be nice.

...until it’s time to not be nice....

"See I'm staying... and YOUR leaving!"

 

[Buckna]

"What if someone calls my momma a whore?"

"Is she?"

If you're gonna have a pet, keep it on a leash.

Did you buy the Criterion Collection version, Oats?

you not say plot weak

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I desperately wanted to see him get his next gig at the Titty Twister, the bar in the movie From Dusk til Dawn.  Its the movie that cried out to be made, but alas never was due to his untimely passing.  The hell with bringing back James Dean through CGI.  Bring back Patrick.  Get this movie made.

Someone, get me Tarantino on the phone.

Sure. But the dvd extras explained that he was buried in student loan debt. He could only afford to live above a barn. And couldn't afford the car insurance on his Mercedes. 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I would also like to see Bodhi, from Point Break, wash up at Cape Fear and meet Max Cady, who also did not in fact pass away.  Together they could have plotted their revenge against their enemies, each doing the other's work in a blatant rip off of the theme from Throw Momma from the Train.

Come on Hollywood, I can't do all of your creative thinking for you.

no police in any scene.....

He's the cooler not a bouncer....

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Just don't eat the big white mint.

I don't think I realized that till just now. That's crazy. Wait. Weren't the police at the car dealership when Big Foot rolled through. At least the aftermath of that?

He's not even the best cooler.

IIRC, the Sheriff was in the pocket of Wesley. Hence the final scene where nobody saw anything and the now famous line of "a polar bear fell on me..."

quadruple murder, move along, nothing to see here.
