Nobody Leaves Swayze in the Corner

That's right folks, it's ActionClub time again. Tonights main feature will be the bar fight Swayze-a-thon, Road House. In this Rowdy Herrington classic, Patrick Swayze plays troubleshooter James Dalton who is called in to clean up the rough 'Double Deuce Club'. Love interest comes in the shape of Kelly Lynch (who never really looked as hot as she did in Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy) who plays the local Doctor. Needless to say, the examinations get out of hand and they inevitably get it on.

Extra help is brought in by Dalton half way through the film, that help is all eyebrows and moustache, held loosely together by Wade Garrett (Sam Elliott). Without giving too much away, it all gets out of hand, there's a few big bar fights, some inspiring tragedy, probably a training montage featuring a topless, oiled up Paddy Swizzle (see image), soft rock original soundtrack (featuring the blindingly obvious cover of The Doors 'Roadhouse Blues' by The Jeff Healey Band as well as a couple of numbers by the Swayz-meister himself - one being the awesomely titled 'Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight)') and eventually the bad guy gets what's coming to him. Haven't seen it for years so I'm a bit fuzzy about the details, nevertheless, it's an all action romp that is more than up to the ActionClub challenge.

It's his way or the highway.

3-times Seal Biehn Honoured

Having played a US Navy Seal no less than three times (Commander Anderson in The Rock, Lieutenant James Curran in Navy Seals and Lieutenant Hiram Coffey in The Abyss, ActionClub favourite Michael Biehn has been honoured by the Navy Seals themselves. Through the combined efforts of the United States Navy UDT/SEALs and Alicia Hinesley of the Official Michael Biehn Fan Club, Michael Biehn has been chosen to be the narrator for the UDT/SEAL Museum in Florida.

"Michael Biehn narrates a new film that will run continuously showing the history and evolution of the finest small company combat group in the world, the United States Navy SEALs. The film is still in production but is tentatively set for release in November of 2002."

Looks like it's an old report, but in the true nature of the US Navy Seals, they've kept it quiet, even from ActionClub until now (or maybe I only just found out about it). Read the full report on the Biehn Fan Club website here.
