What are some other movies that surprised you by being different from what you expected?
I call them 'bargain' movies in that they end up giving way more than I expected. Two that come to mind are 'Marley and Me' which I thought was going to be another sentimental dog movie but ended up being a lot more about the dynamics of being married and raising a family. The other one that I liked a lot was 'The Way Way Back' which turned out to be a terrific coming of age movie with a stupendous performance by Steve Carrell. If you haven't seen them you should check them out.
My $.02.
@@pedroV2003 thank you, I will!
One that comes to mind is JOJO RABBIT. Totally not what I expected but one of the best films I've seen in the past decade. I hope you've got it on your to do list.
The king of all "being quite different from what you expected" movies is From Dusk Till Dawn. The less you know about it, the better.

Road House is the perfect storm of 80s action movies. On paper, there’s no reason this movie should work (ludicrous plot, cardboard cutout characters, a lead that’s an odd mashup of Jean Claude Van Damme and Burt Reynolds, corny dialogue, etc), but it’s somehow enormously entertaining.
It just comes together somehow, and I love that!
I think a big part of why it’s so entertaining is the excellent casting. Swayze and Elliott, in particular, were perfect. They have the specific kind of charisma that can pull something like this off.
The philosophy of everything went over my head as a kid. Seeing this now I realize how deep it was. Great choice to react to
I’m finding 80s movies are often like that. We see them young and love the action and the characters, then learn later there’s actually a lot to them.
New subscriber. Your reactions are a ray of sunshine to me. I'm a disabled veteran who suffers from major depression among other things. Laughter is good medicine and you always make me laugh. Thank you. I saw this movie at the theater long, long ago. I spent 28 years working law enforcement and corrections and his philosophy worked well for me during my career.
Thank you! I’m glad I can make you smile, and I’m glad to have you here! My mother was a CO for about 10 years, that’s a tough job 💜
jeff healy is a legendary blues guitarist. they used 2 mercedes 560sec for the film (because 1 of them was destroyed in the movie). patrick swayze bought the other and drove it as his primary vehicle for the rest of his life.
I ended up checking out Jeff Healy later and he’s a great musician! That’s also very cool about the car.
@@RhetoricalThrillJeff Healy was a Canadian blues artist (RIP)...He was blind in real life and is best known for his #1 hit..ANGEL EYES. (Look it up - You've probably heard it, but never knew who sings it)
This takes me back to my childhood.
I was just watching reactions to movies. Came across you're reaction to Roadhouse. Said what the hell. Stayed because you're reaction was pretty cool. Like the way you think
Hey, thanks! Glad to have you 😊
That lakeside fight between Dalton and Jimmy was real. Jimmy's actor said it in an interview. He and Swayze legit beat the hell out of each other in that scene.
LOVE this movie :)
And your reaction of course :)
You get invested in the movie. I mean why watch it if you dont. Many reactors seen them before, shows.
A good movie can make anything compelling 😊 Thanks!
Haha. This movie might be a lot of things, but it’s never boring:) I love it’s ridiculous charm:)
That’s for sure! I love a good surprise like that.
hands down, one of the best reactions to this movie. I was dyin!
although at the end, it took me a minute to get "crouton" and "raisin" - but I got there. LOL
Ha! I tend to drop random nouns as insults 🤣 I’m glad you liked the video 💜
Road House: Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliot, Kevin Tighe, and Jeff Healey. Jeff Healey and his band did much of the soundtrack to this film, it's amazing.
It got me to look more into Jeff Healey, a great musician!
One detail seems everyone missed are Dalton cars. The Mercedes is his real personal car, his pride and joy well taken care off and garage kept away from any harm. When at work, he always drives a classic Buick Rivera. The theory is when he started working in a cooler gig, he buys a beat up Riviera and gradually repairing it to good condition, in the same time bar/club is gradually improving as well. By the time the the club improves and another job (challenge) appears he ditch the club (now in good order) and the restored Rivera and move to a new craphole club and bought another beater classic Riviera.
Spoiler:
Through the movie, Dalton always lecture about dont get personal with your job. The Riviera represent Dalton "just business" it gets vandalized by disgruntled patron just like Daltons body get injured in the fight and he shrugs it off. When the bad guys murdered Dalton's role model, Dalton went into a rampage with the Mercedes, this time it is personal.
“A polar bear fell on me.”
One of my favorite movie lines ever. I still say it when I don’t want to answer a question.
🤣
One of my favourite movie ever. Watched it again tonight before I watch the remake
I didn't know the remake was out already - I'm terrible with keeping track of that stuff 😂
@@RhetoricalThrill not watched the remake yet planning on over the weekend. I got my 17 year old son to watch it with me as he is planning on growing a mullet by telling him it was a movie about a man with a mullet. Business at the front party at the back! He was mind was blown by 80s Roadhouse and he is looking forward to watching the remake now
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 started doing ballet but injured his knee so he took up acting. Ghost, The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing and Red Dawn would be good starts for 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.😁
You: "Everybody goanna get a piece." That's what she said.🤣
Ayo 😂 Thanks for watching!
I laughed harder at your reactions to Patrick and Sam than nature intended. You definitely need to watch more beefcake movies!
Seriously, a very entertaining reaction that contrasts pleasantly with the myriad of other vacuous reactors around here. Instant sub. 😉
Hey, I appreciate it 😊 And I think I should find some more hot dude movies too 😁
Upvoted for "Depends on where you've been"
HAHA I was pretty happy with that one!
One of my favorite movies! Good review.
I can see why!
There's a Sequel to this Movie called Road House 2: Last Call (2006)
I had forgotten how bad ass and entertaining this movie is.
It is!
My brother in law was Dalton in real life he ran all the bars in Kearney Nebraska back in the 1990s. UNK was the #1 party college in the USA back then. He had a bouncer that worked for him Curtis Harry this guy went to the 1994 winter Olympics games in Lillehammer Norway with the Trinidad and Tobago bobsled team. Like the movie Cool Running with John Candy in real life.
Well that just sounds awesome as hell
Sam Elliot as Wade Garrett was just the coolest.
Quite literally the coolest, I loved him so much 😭
@@RhetoricalThrill than you need to see Tombstone.
It’s on my list 😊
Bill Murray and his brother love this movie. In fact, they have a script writer friend who in real life is married to the actress that plays the doctor that is Swayze's love interest in the movie, and they love to tease their friend about it. In fact, if either Murray brother is channel surfing and they see this movie on TV, doesn't matter what time or day or night, they will call their friend and in a creepy voice say, "Your wife is banging Patrick Swayze. I'm watching them. He's got up against the wall right now."
That is a RIOT
Great review. This was just a fun action movie with a crazy villain.
Guy was certifiable.
He's not lying though, if you just understand that pain is just another sensation then it stops hurting, it becomes just another feeling
True, it’s taking the emotion away from it.
RIP Patrick S. 🙏
Absolutely, a true loss
“Pain don’t hurt.”
“That kind of what pain is.”
A Detroit Lion fan would definitely know about that. :)
AHAHAHA true!
“Crouton” cracks me up!
For whatever reason I just use random nouns as insults, and food is very common 🤣
Just susbscribed. Loving youre commentary!
Welcome! And thank you!
I just rewatched the 1989 Road House earlier today in preparation for the 2024 Road House remake that's coming out on Amazon Prime this Thursday amd i forgot how damn awesome this movie was it so good also i think Dalton is a nice guy but he's not a soft guy there's a difference Lol 🤘🔥, also your reaction to this movie was so good I just subscribed to your channel 🙌🎉🎊
Wonderful, I’m glad you liked it! This movie was excellent 😊
@@RhetoricalThrill i know right I love this movie ! , just curious do you think you might do a reaction of the Road House remake ?
80's villains just hit different than today. This guy was horrible
They’re unapologetically evil. No sad backstory, no empathetic motivation, they’re just monsters and need to be taken down.
Great reaction 👍❤️😎
Thank you!
@@RhetoricalThrill you're welcome 😁
I'm loving the Lions hoodie!
ONE PRIDE BABY 🦁
@@RhetoricalThrill Perfect timing for the NFL Draft to shatter records in the D!
"Size isn't everything. I'm not going to say it doesn't matter. But it isn't everything."
Reminds me of a joke. "Ladies you have all those sayings to reassure us. 'Oh honey, it's not the size of ship, but the motion of the ocean.' Which may be true...But I do know that it takes a long time to get to England in a rowboat." -Jeff Foxworthy.
HA!
My Mom loves this movie so much💜
It’s very good, I can see why!
You had the same reaction I had when Dalton killed Jimmy and the doc got upset and gave Dalton stink-face. C'mon. It's kind of like all the movies I've seen with some bully picking on a kid in school and the teacher telling them both to go to the principal's office. This movie really gets you going, doesn't it! I really like that you get a little upset when you should be getting upset, without doing what this one reactor I won't name does. No matter what happens in a movie, his response is, "Well, to be fair..." He drives me nuts. Enjoyed your reaction.
By the way, the singer Jeff Healey, was an amazing musician and went through all kinds of physical hell that followed him throughout his life. He had eye cancer as a child and had to have his eyes removed. He taught himself how to play guitar on his lap. He formed a band, started playing in clubs with some other musicians, and was signed with a major label. He went on to release several CDs of music. He toured and also sat in with other well-known artists. Talk about accomplishing so much with such a handicap...amazing man. He eventually had sarcomas removed from his lungs, then his legs. He eventually died because of sarcoma, at 41. Kind of makes me feel guilty if I complain about ANYTHING, huh!
Thank you for those kind words! I appreciate realness in reaction videos so that’s how I want to be 😊
I learned a little about Jeff Healy after watching the movie, but I didn’t know he’d passed, or that he suffered so much 😞 what an amazing guy, RIP
Dalton is a legend lol
💯
Loved your video!
Thank you so much!
I just heard you say you have kids, wow I would not have guessed. ( loving your reactions though )
Well thank you! 😊
Ever thought of reviewing documentary's . I can imagine you `saying WTF at Don't F@ck with cats or Abducted in Plain Sight . They are both crazy :)
I haven’t really thought about that but that’s a treasure trove no doubt
Tops on my list of TBS's *Movies For Guys Who Like Movies* (and gals).
🙌🏻
2:26 RIP Terry Funk, who passed away recently.
I saw 😞 rip indeed
Ben Gazzara is a great villain, and a great actor.
Fantastic villain!
Love how most people cant believe thats a younger Sam Elliott, but what gets me is the later bartender (the black dude) is a younger Keith David. Thats kind of a trip.
No way! I definitely didn't notice him 😲
First i am in this and i am hooked. Great sarcastic and hard knock real review. I love it. Keep it up. Roadhouse is gonna taught me a lot.
It’s really good!
@@RhetoricalThrill This movie will teach me how to deal with certain individuals who minds like children. Ohhhhh boy you would not believe.
I found my new favourite reactor.
Thank you so much! Glad to have you here 😊
@@RhetoricalThrill My pleasure. Have you seen Innerspace (1987), by the way? If not, I'd love to see your reaction to it.
Hey, it's Jackie Treehorn.
This was great! Love the attitude 😂
Thank you for watching! Glad to have you 😊
*Roadhouse!*
WIt tell the remake comes out with ufc conner
The guy that plays Morgan, the first guy that Dalton fires, because he doesn't have the right "temperament for the job" is played by professional wrestler Terry Funk. A legit badass in every sense of the word, but from what I hear is a really sweet guy unless you piss him off.
If there was an actual bar fight with everyone in the cast, including the extras. The smart money would be on Terry Funk to be the only one to walk out of there.
He seemed really familiar but I don’t think I know him. I wonder if I’ve seen him somewhere else 🤔
@@RhetoricalThrill He's been in other movies around this time too. Mostly to look intimidating and for the hero to kick his ass. Another movie I remember him from is the Stallone movie called "Over the Top."
Loved the reaction thanks😎
Sam Elliot and the band.. (Which is a real band).. The jeff healey band.. Are the best parts of this movie.
All those things u said plus a naked Patrick Swayze ❤❤ ( such a bonus, thank u. Seriously thank you to whoever said we need that ). Sam Elliott who must be a vampire as he seems to be ageless.
.
Some very fine man candy in here
Yes, this movie never gets old. Or... 🤔 mayby it has, too much toxic masculinity for modern audience. Who cares, glad you liked it. Great reaction 😊
Heard scary rumor that Wokewood might remake this 👎 now that would be total flop!
Have you seen movie Harley Davidson & Marlboro Man? Little like this but nothing like this... just good fun action 🤠
I personally enjoy masculinity 😂 I’ve heard that about a remake, but I never have much confidence in those.
@@DVDhoarder I’ve not heard of that one
@@RhetoricalThrill classic from early 90s, Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson as cool biker buddies doing stuff. Worth to check out 👍 another good movie with bikers, Beyond the Law, starring Charlie Sheen... that one has not much fun but lots of ass kicking. Hopefully neither of those get ever remaked.
@@DVDhoarderIm generally pretty meh about Charlie Sheen, but I love Beyond the Law.
"How will we know when it's time not to be nice"??
I'll let you know, Then you say, "YES DADDY" 😂😂😂😂
🤣 🥴
🤣 🥴
Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.
Road House is Patrick Swayze. Nuff said. 😄
Patrick was the only man in history that could make a mullet look good. Road house was a good movie
It was! And he looked good all the time, didn’t he? RIP
How you feel about the remake coming out ?
Yeah that was a fantastic movie Sam Elliot was awsome
Sam Elliot has that effect on most of us.
🤤
If you're interested in some more of the evolution of Sam Elliot you should add
The Legacy (1978)
Mask (1984) with Cher and Eric Stolz (bring the tissues)
We Were Soldiers (2002) with Mel Gibson
👍🏻
I haven't seen this movie in forever.
I don’t think it has the historical status it should.
The size of door man is usually big so it looks more intimidating and helps when having to carry / throw out people out of the bar ... But when you can rip out someone's throat its not all that important
True, he just didn’t look that small to me, but him being built like a dancer reflects the assumptions.
@@RhetoricalThrill Yeah 👍 , it was the pretty boy who kicked ass sort of film
He didn't man the door, he was inside cooling, not outside intimidating.
@@RhetoricalThrill - Largest size for him I've seen mentioned is 5'11", 180 lbs, which doesn't strike me as very big, but doesn't mean he can't kick ass.
@@jowbloe3673 we didn't say he was at door or he could not kick ass , Rhetorical Thrill didn't see a problem with his size
Your reaction is priceless your 😎👍😂
Thanks, I appreciate it 😊
Welcome
Only part I didn't like was when he fighting a punk b*tch and pulls a guns and Patrick goes self defense and preservation mode and happen to kill the guy and she like u monster. IT IN LIfE OR DEATH SITUATION!!! COME ON!
Oh I felt that. It was clearly instinctive. Plus that guy sucked.
I'm starting to think you didn't like Wesley..
Hehe what gave it away? BUT that’s what makes a great villain, when you just get gleeful as he goes down 😁
did not expect an economics lesson, but that is true. Though we would not have a fun movie if they followed sunk cost properly. Also adding to the horrible villians of 80's, the more two dimensional and hateful you make them, the better the payoff is when they get killed/defeated.
So satisfying. I liked it better that the townspeople did it so he didn’t have to.
A lot of the fight where he ripped the guys throat out was real. He actually hit Patrick with that log and broke it on him for real. It wasn't part of the script. This movie is one of my all time favorites.
I can feel every hit in this movie, it’s so realistic! That’s crazy how deep they went!
Apparently Patrick Swayze and Marshall Teague ( the guy who played Jimmy ) agreed to play it for real .
"it's kind of theft of services, but it was prostitution", I'll protect a woman in that case for a small percentage. Keeps it safe sane and legal.
Yeah, morally both guys were slimeballs. I was more thinking in a strictly legal sense neither wins.
@@RhetoricalThrill Right, vicious cycle of her being a prostitute, guy stealing services, then by default that "boyfriend" being a pimp, decent people in general lol.
Good businesses frequently offer free samples to entice potential customers into making a purchase.
Yeah jokes aside they'd totally both be legally charged lool
@@gwildordipkin6504 - Charged for what?
No money changed hands, and it was clear he had no intention to pay for anything.
Although, I suppose some sort of public indecency might apply, but I'm no lawyer so I'll defer to the experts.
I started being a bouncer when I was 18 years old at 5'10" and only 150 lbs. I'm 51 now and have been one most of my life and have never lost a bar fight (though if rhe cops hadn't shown up in time I would have lost my 1st one when the guy went to his car and pulled out a shotgun). I refused to watch this movie until I was in my 30s because I was constantly bombarded with "you must love Roadhouse" and "I thought you'd be bigger" when I first started out and I hated it. Weird thing is, though I'd never seen it, I had the same calm bouncer style as Dalton in the movie. You cracked me up at point though. I thought I was the only one who used the word "cock knocker". 😂
Did you end up liking the movie in the end? And thanks, I like to mix up my insults and I definitely know some random ones 😂
@Rhetorical Thrill yeah, I like it. Not a great movie but pretty good.
I forgot how huge the explosions were
Insanely so!
Have you seen the new remake with Jake Gyllenhaal ?
Nah, haven’t really had time, plus not hearing great things
For more Sam Elliott, you should watch *Mask* (93% approval on Rotten Tomatoes), based on a true story (and starring Cher).
I’ve heard of that! Didn’t know Sam was in it ☺️
After watching this movie so many times I just now had the thought, "where is the local law enforcement during all of this?"
My guess is they’re taken care of by the big cheese, and no one bothers to call them anymore. I kind of wish they’d gotten more into that.
That is the idea of a road house. Outside the city limits, no local police.
With the sheriff office focus on patrolling the highway.
Guess they are making a remake of this and honestly with woke Hollywood I severely doubt the new one will be no where near as good as the original!!!!
That’s usually a safe bet 😭
Your reaction lo😂l
I knew i was getting older when I spent my life lusting after patrick swayze , and when i turned 35 i saw just how sexy and manly Sam elliot is. 😂
Right? I’d never seen him like this and it kind of changed me 😂
@RhetoricalThrill when I was young I worked with a woman who was In love with Sam elliot, and no joke I used to laugh at her. And then i turned 35!! And now I think of doc in the film and how gutted I would be if I got with swayze then his mate Sam elliot turned up! 😂. But he is so sexy. The hair, the voice, the moustache and stubble. He is a real man 😂
fights well for a classically trained ballet dancer
He got smooth ass-kicking moves
Hi there
Hey 😊
Eh don't believe you at start of what u say as to pick a movie...hmmm
You mean whether I put thought into what to watch? I promise I didn't for this one, I literally took my list, closed my eyes, and poked the screen 😂
there's so few of you, honestly.
I dunno if the world could handle more of me 😆 but thank you 💜
@12:03 Maybe it’s stuck to her.
BAHAHAHAHHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another reaction all about the reactor and not the film
I mean, that's kind of the point 🤣 The movie is available on Netflix if that's all you want to see 😊
U tube is sorry as crap. Now with what u can post.
Thumbs down👎👎👎👎the actors barely ssy two words befire you jump in. You cut out alot of good stuff
Copyright my friend. Since this video I’ve learned some ways of getting more out of the clips but if you show more than a few seconds they claim you 😔
The sequel is better good
Can you please stop talking
Not really. It’s kind of the point.
