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.
