Another day, another remake of some old classic. And in this case, it's the 1989 action thriller starring Patrick Swayze. And after watching all two hours of it, I just have to ask... why?

McGregor walks about the whole movie as if he had a tree trunk under each arm
It's called the Lebanese walk. I have Lebanese friends who walk like that, it's meant to look physically imposing. It's pretty hilarious. Very fragile egos so you can't make fun of them or they get really offended.
Imaginary lats.
Those are his legs.
Yea i was like yea its getting annoying
He was all too happy to be in the movie. I had to make fun of his walk after the movie because it was that obscene. It's my new "goofy" walk.
Director: And..... CUT! Conor McGregor: You guys were filming?
All jokes aside, Conor was unironically the best part of the movie.
@@brentharlow3559 He was so fucking funny, I bet they told him to play up the douchebaggery and he went above and beyond the call of duty. Such a great character. Love his tattoo also, Knock Knock Knock LMAO
If you say so, I really didn’t want to see his butt cheeks
@@truints I watched it with my dad and my brother so we just laughed and talked shit riff tracks style so it ended up being enjoyable even though it wasn't good. Conor was clearly having a ball making this thing so every scene the dude was in was just Conor being a meme from beginning to end.
Director : You were Acting ??
I love that we're supposed to believe a roughneck bar, where fights break out every day, would have a barista making artisan coffee. If there's one thing I know about organized crime syndicates, evil motorcycle gangs, and bar brawlers, it's that they love their Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free, Vanilla Lattes With Soy Milk.
I was visiting a... less salubrious city and at a bar I noticed a nice gleaming expresso maker. As my fiancé only drank a specific beverage (half-and-half large latte no sugar extra hot) I thought I'd get her one. The old bartender (on reflection, licensee) frowned at my request and motioned me closer across the bar to say, "we only serve two kinds of coffee here - white... or black, what'll it be?" I guess the barista was off-shift that day.
Meanwhile, war hardened operators take their coffee black. Who are the real tough guys, I wonder?
i love how you point out the ridiculousness of artisan coffee being in a bar, but people surviving stab wounds and being launched tens of feet in the air with no damage is completely fine & believable. Road House isn't a movie that takes itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
@@littleesonso many people in the comments are troglodytes who take everything too seriously 💀

“Road House” - Peter Griffin voice
Exactly my thought 😅
Well everybody’s heard.
"Dr. House" - Dr. House
😂 that’s what my girlfriend was saying throughout this movie. That’s pretty much all the laughs I got from it. That and Dalton basically becoming a sadistic killer while explaining how the guy he punched is gonna croak. Maybe coulda done without that level of serious, kind of to get to style of the original again. Wasn’t against a Road House remake with the right mindset, just didn’t like this one.

Best line in the movie McGregor: "Our own little octagon." Gyllenhaal: "Who taught you shapes?"

He looks half-tranquilized.
I read that in the flat tone he uses the entire movie. However, I thought it fit the character, because the character was supposed to be desperate hopeless and have nothing to lose.

@OneNiftyBoi what?
Mike Stoklasa recently predicted the end of Hollywood because younger people aren't interested in watching full-length films (because they don't have the attention-spans for it) and mature, older people are becoming so disenchanted by the current culture of the entertainment industry hellbent on warping and destroying IP's, that we'd rather re-watch our old favorites films and shows than watch whatever sludge they sh!t this week, which is always now accompanied by a divisive sociopolitical topic that only 5% of the audience cares about.
I think he may have onto something...
Except he's wrong about the young folk. We just don't like the shite we are currently fed with. What was the last okay movie? Not as great as Ben Hur, just watchable and not with "strong female character 1".
3% LOL Hes right.
Mike knows.
I’m not convinced by the attention span argument. Especially when I look at video games and the view-count on 3 hour KZhead videos. I think it has more to do with nobody is making shit that the younger generation wants to watch. Mainly because you just need to look at the trailer to go, “NOPE.”
0:51 Funniest part is the villian is trying to an old-fasion shave on an obviously bumpy boat ride... and flipping out when it doesn't work.
Funny thing is it made more sense than the rest of the plot. Honestly the biggest load of shite I’ve seen in a long time
That was a good part... I've worked for people less crazy than that!
No Way Thanks for explaining the joke😮
I thought of this channel when I just saw this scene lol.
I quite liked it, it’s nice to switch my brain off occasionally and just enjoy some over the top ultra violence and and bit of the old in-out.
Same ,drinker cries that Hollywood depicts white male as dummy dumm rescued by strong wamen, but when movie like road house that is satisfying fighting movie arrives he again cries but for other reasons. We don't get movies like this very often ,and I am happy to say at least one new movie I liked
@@neoniccortessjrsmith9223I partially agree with you. From a critical standpoint it’s not a good movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fun movie or worth a watch. Personally, I love cheesy monster movies but I would never call them good lol
Yeah it was a lot of fun. It didn't need to be smart to be entertaining. Connor was the highlight for me, it was fun seeing him play an over the top version of himself.
Same, have to admit AngryJoe's review is what got me to watch, I figured they'd bash it the entire review (especially Alex) but all 3 of them thought it was a fun dumb action movie and gave it a 7 / 10 rating.
Agreed. It was very fun to watch. Not every movie had to be critical examination
The fact they didn't say, "Is this some kind of Road House" is the biggest dissapointment of the entire year
and it needed to be conor macgregor saying it in a crazy voice... so, just, normally.
CinemaSins in shambles.
I didn't even like the original. Why would I watch or care what happens with this remake?
At least we got the scene where he said "It's RoadHousin' time."
Whole thing was a disappointment. It just kinda flew by with a bunch of fighting. D+
RIP Swayze and the real Roadhouse
Yeah, the original was kinda silly fun, but at least the plot moved & action was good. The new one is pathetic.
Amen.
Never liked it.. Swayze was over rated.
one of the worst movie. In germany the movie and actors even received prices for being so bad

yep
LIKE he just did three lines of coke beforehand? That wasn't acting, my friend.
@@veritas4364😂
The literal definition of "roadhouse" is "an inn or club on a country road". This movie should be called "Tiki Bar".
*roundhouse kick* TIKI BAR!
They make fun of the bar's name in the movie too. I love all the people here who haven't seen it commenting on it, thinking they're clever. The critical drinker obviously didn't watch the movie either, so I guess it's okay. Definitely question the veracity of his reviews now though. If he's just gonna make review videos based off the trailer he isn't any better than most Hollywood reviewers
ugh, tbh that is a stupid and narrow view on things...
@VanquishedAgain "They make fun of the name of the bar in the movie" AND? What does your entire reply have to do with this comment? Other than the fact that you obviously enjoyed TikiBar and just upset others don't share the same opinion? Edit: OOORRR are you a McGregor D rider and upset his movie debut did kick off?!
Umm, they go over this actual problem, in the movie. Maybe go watch it before sounding dumb. Just my opinion. 😂
As much as I like Jake Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze had a presence which is difficult to replicate.
i remember when actors who didn't have 'presence' were the extras
Same with the actor who played Brad Wesley. Literally Chaotic evil.
@multifaceteduser3405 nowadays, all we see is the actor in the part. Not the character. There is too much exposure
Jake has sucked in EVERY movie he's EVER done.
@@maxpower2511Ben Gazzara. Shorty, old and halfway to baldness. And yet still intimidating. It's called good acting I believe

"no that's the plot of star wars. no that's the italian job. no that's nevermind i give up"
😂👏🏿
To be fair, that's basically how the original played out. It was Rambo, Karate Kid, '80s borderline porn sleaze, and Waiting... all rolled into one.
lol.. next time I get drunk and somebody is listening I’ma start tellin em a made up story about me that is just movie plots mixed together and see if they notice.
Saw it on Friday with my dad. It's a simple fun movie.A solid 6.
McGreggor owns a pub in Dublin and he has renamed it to RoadHouse. This is not a joke
Hahaha!
I can't live in a world where that is true. So just like Sarah Palin and Kamala Harris, I'm treating that statement as a fevered hallucination.
Classic McGreggor, I think it's a funny ass choice for a name. No need to get all butt hurt about it.
Is that the pub he bought where he punched the elderly man in the face, didn’t knock him out, and then bought the pub and banned the old man for life. Imagine being in your late 60-70s, the biggest mma star in the world socks you in the mouth, and then buys your local and bans you from it cuz he’s a petty child. What a clown.
If he serves his Shit Proper booze, it won't last

That was hilarious. And Connor saying “ I thought we had to be friends first”
To each his own, but jokes during a fight to the death feel out of place to me. At least, intentional jokes. The head goon's line from the original "I used to ****** guys like you in prison", unintentionally funny.
The state of the movie industry now is the reason I go to second hand shops and buy dvds. They`re cheap now and I know I`ll have a great movie to watch whenever I want. So far I have 400, and I`m not stopping any time soon.
Same here. I've barely had any streaming services in my life, due to the fact that many movies often have limited time on these services. They come and go. In a more dystopian and totalitarian scenario, these services can potentially do the easiest way of "book burning" ever if the companies, government or society wants certain movies banned
My local library has plenty of good DVDs that don't cost a dime.
I already own a shitload of DVDs and feel lucky that I lived through the mid-'00s to the mid-'10s when it was actually cheaper to buy a DVD than hire one. I also have a lot of classic Hollywood movies as well as ones from the late 1960s to the mid-2010s, and last I checked a lot of them aren't available on streaming services. Funny thing, the first movie I watched on my new DVD player was Ice Age with my kids.
@@kevstacey8639 Yeah, as long as you have the space for it, I see why not! I notice many people getting rid of whole DVD/Blu-ray collections because they commit to the minimalist life of streaming services, which is good news for me as I tend to find some great buys in there.
I just get dvds from the library. Why have streaming? They don't make anything for men anyway
jake gyllenhaal shirtless is all the plot i need
Thank god you’re covering this. I could even watch it. But I’m curious.
I owned a bar back from 2006-2012. The cops would host a security class from time to time and they always showed a clip from the original Roadhouse where Swayze explained how to bounce to his staff. He was spot on with his advice.
Me too
Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.
The guy who wrote the original script clearly did his research. Nobody seems to do that any more
@@ronaldbell7429 There's no app who can tell them how to do research. They dunno how,
I wish I watched this review before watching the Road House itself. Man I lost 2 hours I am never getting back. The worst movie of the year.
I spent 6 months as a Marine on a US Navy ship in the early 90s. We had a VHS machine with only 2-3 movies. One of them was Roadhouse. It seems like we watched it daily. “Be nice, until it’s time to not be nice,” should be the new USMC motto.
I am surprised about this extreme lack of choice. I (German) always thought that the US Navy was way more generous regarding entertainment and stuff like that. And I do not quite understand it. You are serving on a ship that costs millions, tens of millions or even hundred of millions. Equipping you with 100 VHS would cost maybe 2000 bucks. And increase your quality of life by a lot. I doubt there is a cheaper way to entertain your soldiers (and by this increasing satisfaction and moral!) than by providing a nice selection of videos...
Same. Mostly. We had 5 movies. Lol. But, none of them was Roadhouse, unfortunately.
@@wedgeantilles8575 The US Navy does not spend much on morale boosting material. In the past they have relied on charitable donations from individuals and organizations like the USO or MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation). If your navy has 20 or 30 ships, you can kit them out for a hundred grand or so. If you're the USN and you have 500 ships, now you're talking a quarter of a billion dollars. You could buy a new golf course for the O-club with that kind of money. Also, you have to remember that you're talking about sailors and marines. If you put in that kind of equipment three quarters of it would be stolen inside six months and the rest but one would be broken. Which may be what the OP meant, there was only one machine and two movies left by the time he got there.
"pain don't hurt" one of my favorite cheesey 80s one liners.
@wedgeantilles8575 I was in the coast guard during the 2010s and we always got a good 20 or so 8mm tapes in a box, including stuff still in theaters that were releasing during our deployment
I can't stop replaying that first clip over and over again
I thought it was a fun movie. Weak, script? Yes. Strange performances? Definitely. Plot points that went nowhere? Sure. But it made me laugh for two hours at the silly randomness of it all, and Dalton was a fun and sympathetic enough character this time around that he got a pass from me. It's the kind of film to go in with low expectations and just enjoy the ride. And that McGregor performance just can't be missed. Bizarre and hilarious!
I was mostly entertained by this film. Where it fell apart for me was when Dalton (very calmly) says the reason he is afraid, is because when you push him too far, he goes crazy. If there was ever a time to “show, don’t tell”, that was it. We know that Gyllinhal can depict losing control very effectively (See Prisoners). Let him do it.
Well we did see it in a flashback.
I too found that very cringe, it was all very “I just see red bro”
The only problem I had was the movie was a little too fast
DBZA did it better with Gohan
That was the only thing you found cringe? lucky! Damn, the whole movie was one shit show for me. I genuinely tried liking it, but just the dialog, the acting, the plot, the forced romance bullshit, just fucking punched me in the nuts. Hell I felt like even Jake was bored and didn't give a shit after the first 30 minutes of the movie. And the ending, my god that was hilarious.

Original Roadhouse has been a guilty pleasure of mine since it came out. I really like it and can rewatch it over and over. Same thing with Point Break. So why do they keep f'ing up the remakes? Because Hollywood has lost its mojo.
If you're going to remake a movie (like Point Break for example), remake it as a different film altogether. Then no one realizes it is a copy and paste screenplay with a slightly different backdrop. so instead of a remade Point Break, we get Fast & Furious, which is the same movie with cars instead of surfboards. It introduces a new viewership to the concept without stepping all over the original.
Decent comparison, for the first F&F at least. Well spotted ! 👌
Why guilt? It's a great film.
Get em back on cocaine😂 that worked back then😂
@@txinterceptor8428 Wait just a minute. In the case of F&F it has nothing to do with remake. It was straight up plagiarism. Undercover cop, gang of radical sports who are actually thieves, good guy befriends leader of the gang, and on and on.
Went into this movie with my brain switched off just for the fighting. Didn't really care about the plot, acting, character development or arc. Absolutely enjoyed it.
I dunno, I kinda liked it. I have a soft spot for Liman after Go and Gyllenhaal I will watch in almost anything (yep, even in Michael Bay's Ambulance!). Sure, McGregor was naff, but I enjoyed this more than I guessed I would. Harmless fun at the end of the day.

Maybe because it's a reboot to another film, particularly one thst didn't need to be rebooted. Reboots will always be compared and judged by the original. This movie looks like something entirely different and should have been it's own movie.
The movie isn't bad at all , it's goofy action movie and i like it , the drinker hate it just because he grew up with the original
As im watching the og roadhouse this vid pops into my feed.
I really liked the new movie. I watched the original ages back and can barely remember it. I'll never watch this one again either but it was fun and wasn't woke to hell. The Teddy recommends this movie, just.
McGregor *maybe* could've worked as an evil chaos gremlin, but having him talk - much less try to act - was a serious unforced error.
He wasn't bad, they should've just told him "stop fookin smiling EVERYTIME" and he would've done great, his kill scene wasn't bad either, should've acted 4 secs longer and it wouldve done well
Pretty sure they wanted him to act the way he did. It works for his character.
McGregor was awesome! He was the only entertaining thing in the movie.
I think he was great his chsracter is just a kittle chaotic psycho the grin he is always doing is funny and natural to me i find nyself making thst face too in a fight situation.
@@ctwhiskey3058 That smile! He looked like he was trying to grin his way through a difficult colonoscopy with no anesthesia.
"Why in the name of Sydney Sweeney's cleavage..." I wasn't quite sure what you meant, so I appreciated the visual aid.
I had a Roadhouse double feature last night, only because I turned on prime for the first time in three months greeted by a remake I was unaware then searched for the original. The remake is exactly that, weird, and the shaving scene at sea sets up an unhinged villain only to not follow through. Hollywood should have just called it Bouncer and left out the “no one wins a fight” scene, which is out of place since Dalton was a professional fighter. I do admit to being entertained as I watched the movie while working out and making dinner. I think Mr. Gyllenhaal is a fine actor, however he just doesn’t have that calm cool that Mr. Swayze oozed. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. McGregor’s performance and only at the end did I realize who he was due to his size. If nothing else it proves just how good the 80’s version is. I don’t think it tarnishes the legacy of the original because it gives me a chance to tell the younger generation to watch the original.
the “no one wins a fight” scene has a totally different meaning here, coming from him “winning” a fight where he literally murdered a friend of his, which ruined both his career and his mental. shaving scene sets up the villain pretty well, it isn’t showing him as “unhinged” in such a simplistic way as that, it’s showing that he refuses to listen when people try to point out the error in his ways, like not listening to his barber, later not listening to other subordinates warning him, and that he’ll lash out madly when things dont go his way. which he consistently does. the only reason he punches that dude is because he’s surrounded by cronies and knows he can’t do shit back. agree about everything else though, macgregor was a blast. movie was pretty weird overall though. so much singing in the first half.
@@obscure.reference nicely observed. I'd add that the shaving scene also helps define that he's not really a though guy, only acting like one. Any other villain would have thrown the barber to the sea, and later scenes reveal that he's basically just a kid trying to impress daddy.
Thank you for giving me such low expectations that I was actually able to enjoy this movie.
The idea that anyone could ever re-do a P. Swayze movie is ridiculous. The man stands alone on a tier of his own.
Exactly. A huge fan favourite cult classic I don’t think CD realises how much its loved by fans . No it’s not high art but damn swayze and all the support enthusiastically own that film 😊. Great fun. Ps : occurred to anyone that this is the second swayze classic murdered by hollyweird? Ie Point Break got remade into a steaming turd years ago … and justifiably bombed . Original A better film than roadhouse tbh if CD wants to appraise the original ?
It’s like trying to redo Ghost I swear to god….
Patrick was amazing in Point Break and The Outsiders
They're not redoing Patrick Swayze. Elwood Dalton is his own character and is James Dalton's son. So it's kind of a remake and a sequel at the same time
Exactly. The guy was the definition of "Human Charisma Walking". If it was D&D he'd have a Charisma of 99.
The original Road House was once of the iconic movies of the 80's. I watch it every couple of years. Patrick Swayze was a little too trendy back then. But was Sam Elliot ever in anything that was bad? And Kevin Tighe as the bar owner exuded a desire to do right by his community. Jeff Healey and his music was the soundtrack that held it all together.
Watched it straight after this mess. The old movie has funny elements to it, but it was way more believable than this trash.
Dalton never made any sense. A guy that philosophical risking his life every night and constantly getting into unwanted fights, for the higher purpose of...Cleaning up a bar. And the way he treated Denise, a beautiful woman that only wanted to sleep with him, was just pathetic. Calling her a pet. Really. Awesome action sequences, and so many different fighting styles! Aikido, stickfighting, and Morgan even brings pro wrestling into the bar!
Would love Sam Elliot to be my martial arts master.
Well the original road house isn't a good movie, but it is a fun movie, and it has an eighties charm to it. The new road house is better in my opinion, it just doesn't have the same charm.
Just watched it tonight A polar bear fell on me 😂
That Rhonda shot though! You're 1000% right, but damn!🤣😂😆🤣🤣🤣
Better movie than anything Disney has pushed out in the last 6 years
"...they're all just generic non-entities with all the energy and charisma as a Chris Stuckmann video". My guy nailed it!
I don't even follow the guy but have seen enough half minute snippets to know what he's talking about
The Chris Stuckman shade had me dying laughing 😂
What's up with the Chris Stuckmann burn? What did he do?
@@GuiiBrazilI watched him a few years ago, even subscribed... maybe... All I remember that he was the most bland, unopinionated film critic I've ever encountered. The guy was actively trying not to say anything bad about the worst movies, glossing over and rounding corners, leaving only gray, formless blob of a "review". Maybe he changed since then, but that's what I remember.
@@GuiiBrazil I am not sure. I have no problems with Stuckmanns reviews. At least Chris doesn't have to hide behind the schtick of a cliche drunkard to make his reviews. But I also have watched the videos where Chris talks about his history with his overly religious upbringing and finding solace and escapism in movies, so I thought the drunkards 'burn' was rather a cheap shot.
This movie at least had one positiv effect. It made me wanna watch the original Road House.
It was like Jake Gyllenhaal volunteered to act in his school friends low budget movie for fun, the CGI looked like it was done by an 8 year old
That head banging against the out of tune piano 🎹 did it for me. I knew it wasn’t going to end well. I was right.
The original took place in a middle of nowhere dive bar in small town Missouri. It felt gritty. The new one takes place in a beach front tiki bar in Key West Florida. It felt goofy.
not to mention a bar like that in florida has 20 dollar drinks. People who go there aren't exactly opressed minorities or tough guys who brawl.
MM 77 actually, which is islamorada. Spot where Robbie's restaurant and bar is currently located.
I saw the original Road House. About the only thing I remember is the scene where Patrick Swayze buys a beater car with 4 extra tires and wheels (because he knows it’s going to get vandalized with all the tires slashed); and the part where he fires the head bouncer. I don’t recall anything else but I know it was better than the 2024 “remake”
@@MrJeffcoley1a guys throat getting ripped out?
The goofiest part for me is how the band never stopped playing, no matter how many beers were chucked at their heads. The band playing through destruction was meaningful in Titanic, cringe in this.
It really does feel like we're living in a post-everything age.
because our society has already ended, because no one is in leadership anymore.
Because you watch a channel dedicated to shitting on things, watched primarily by doomers and other associated outcasts. Go outside. World’s pretty cool actually.
This is a channel dedicated to roasting bad media. Followed mostly by doomers and other angry outcasts. Go outside. World is pretty cool, actually.

@@ynpavo thanks for the encouragement that all is not lost
Another film you saved me from. Thanks, man! It makes you a kind of my contemporary bad cinema hero.
"With the energy and the charisma of a Chris Stuckmann" video lmao
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the powerful scene where strong diverse female manager calls Dalton a pussy, “What are you scared?” As he’s leaving after being jumped by Mcgregor and the rest of the gang while she did nothing. Knocked me off my seat with those chills.
How come every Amazon movie is woked? Like they replaced all the major characters with diversity, even the blind singer is a female character now
@@JohnnytNaturalthis movie was not woke lol god you people are embarrassing and making the word woke meaningless in the same way the left made the the term “racist” lose its meaning
@@JohnnytNatural”oh my god a black person owns a bar, bahhh must be woke!” “there’s an asian guy drinking at the bar? bahhh must be woke!”
@@donaldvonglitchenberger4108 I think people just have a certain fatigue at this point
@@donaldvonglitchenberger4108 it's a remake you goof, that means the key characters from the original had to purposely be recasted, what happened to the female waitress or the stripper? Guess what, they omitted them on purpose, c'mon open your eyes. Even the shop opener was recasted to be woke
"A plot that gets from A to B via the rest of the alphabet." Drinker, you wizard of wordsmithing. The first fight with the bikers outside the bar was great. That was about it.
AGREED!! I was LOLing so hard I nearly fell off my chair. Told my son he had to see it just to experience the craziness of MacGregor chewing up every scene with his wild eyed "I'm an Irish legend!" smile throughout.
That fight and all the lines before it were a total rip off of the Reacher Season 1 scene where he encounters the 4 kids before his motel room!
@@JoergWeida and it was hardly an original setup and dialogue in Reacher either
I think the point of it is this. Youngsters will never see the original, so that don't matter to most of the population don't know it exists. Now this movie, although I re paint of one of my favourites is atleast a movie that puts the balls back on. Being tough and winning fights is cool ! Being cool is cool ! Be the coolest ! If this helps put the balls back on the 18 years old and unders coming up behind us then hell yeah. I'm beginning to realize I'm not the age the movie makers are making for, we already have our stories.

Id rather watch 2 hours of peter griffin kicking his steering wheel than watch this movie again
“Toast house “ Peter griffin
This movie is an absolute GOLDMINE for a Pitch meeting video.
For money to anwser the question. This is why we love ya, that kind of real, true and authentic review.
I actually think you’re being a bit too hard on this one. I didn’t really find an overpowering presence of the “the message”. I would say Connor McGregor felt like he was doing a bad impression of himself throughout the movie.
Watching the original Roadhouse, which was a fun but very campy movie during it's time, but somehow against a remake in 2024, it looks like a masterpiece in script writing? What a world.
Yeah! This stupid piece of dumbness made the original B movie look like an A movie and what does that say about modern moviemaking.
Just rewatched with my sons. My eldest thought The Jeff Healy Band playing the house band was awesome in original. They should have had some young blues guitar player like Marcus King or Kingfish Ingram. Wouldn't have made it better, just a bit more tolerable. You're right about what the original was and how it compares to modern movie writing. I wonder if they can remake the equally campy and beloved They Live and the same thing happens. I'm saying yes.
the original wasn't great and without the nudity wouldn't even be remembered. this was far more entertaining & had a better lead actor and Conor was more entertaining than anyone in the swayze film.
@@names_are.uselessyt7908 Dude you need to chill out.I know this is your opinion but your opinion is wrong
@@names_are.uselessyt7908 The woke is here to lecturing us about the "new audiences" style. 😂😂😂😂😂
Movies used to be filled with glitz, glamor and the stuff of dreams. Watching movies nowadays it's like viewing a Hippo's backside as the animal dies of IBS.
Music is the same way. Social engineering the masses downward.
Let's keep it real, people are in general stupid. As Carlin said "Think of how stupid the average person is and realize.. . half the people are stupider than that!"@@michaelwills1926
O.o?!!! Now THAT's a mental image I ain't NEVAH gonna scrub outta mah skull! (Thx for the giggle-fest!) ;-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Say what you want of this movie but the soundtrack is incredible
I guess my suspicions that this re-make was sacrilege was spot on. Thanks for saving me the time investment and confirming it Drinker.
I watched the first one again first and it was quite silly with very 2D characters but was a fun movie. Honestly, the remake wasn't that different, maybe a bit more silly but wasn't all that bad. Even thought McGregor was kind of funny in it.
imagine getting up one morning and thinking "we need a remake of road house" what the actual fuck
To be fair it's the only movie that hadn't been remade. and in typical fashion they fckd it up.
the idea began out of wokeness, recasting swayze with rousey. and then it evolved, or....DEvolved, into this.
The same person who woke up one morning thinking, "We need a Beetlejuice 2."
The scary thing is that I'm not even suprised anymore and more scary still, even dissapointed. When you're so conditioned to the bottom of the barrel level of quality and not even care is the worst thing.
They are running out of things to remake. So now they are remaking forgotten average movies from the 80s.
Based on the acting chops on display here, I do look forward to Conor's triumphant return in a Leprechaun reboot.
A role he was born to play. That I would watch.
Heard he is playing the live action version of The Lorax.
perhaps he could team up with the irish gentleman from the American Gods TV series
And was it with his walk in this movie? It looks like he's trying to non-chalantly get to the restroom while he desperately holds in a 'big one'.
@@paulmaul2186 his campaign theme for Irish PM is "A Stick For Every Arse, A Volleyball for Every Armpit"
Would've made more sense to show the end of his career where he lost it and why he retired, which lost him his wife and daughter. Then the train scene would make sense. And the girl from the book store needed to mirror his daughter for a genuine reason to care for her. Apart from that is was a good movie to switch off and watch some action!
THIS.
'All the scripts we got left are mediocre!' 'I have an idea. Let's use this one and market it as remake.'
Oh, Patrick. We miss you.
I take small solace in that he never had to see this or the Point Break remake. I'll see you all in five years when they decide they need to remake Ghost with a couple of gay dudes.
@j_ferguson OH WOW! Sad thing is your probably right. Don't leave out room for race swap or girl boss swap out.
@@j_fergusonand RuPaul will replace Whoopi Goldberg
The bar I worked at in College had us door guys / bouncers watch Road House as our training video.
I laughed so hard at this comment that it cancelled out my laughing... This comment is underrated.
I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.
Only a sheltered bastard who never had to take a long bus ride would type up a scene with the protagonist "giving all the money away and leaving town on a bus".😎
It felt like they spent so much money on McGregor and therefore designated way too much screen time to him and sacrificed other relationship building and character development. This Dalton was dark and a loner. Which just made me miss the charismatic and charming Swayze. Not sure why they went that route when you’re already climbing the hill of comparison.
Another 80s classic torn to shreds. I watched the opening scene here on YT and it was... uninspiring. Which is a shame, because Jake G is a damn fine actor... in other movies. Thanks again for saving me time, energy and money, CD!
I have several theories on modern Hollywood. Here's one: Hollywood is a giant laundry for Cartel money. If the Movie makes money, that's good, but they don't care cos the Laundry is the game. These people make turkey after turkey and get to make another one?
@@Jeremy-ho3vimaybe from the government too for the all the DEI and narratives being ESG compliant is all they ask
@@Jeremy-ho3vi If so it's a fairly recent development because they used to care if they were making turkeys less than 15 years ago.
Nothing happened to the original film lol, it isn't "torn to shreds" don't be so over dramatic
I thought it was pretty fun but to each their own I guess
".. with all the energy and charisma of a Chris Stuckman video"... I'm dead lol
I don't get it. I love Stuckmam. It's drinker not a fan of his for some reason?
out of curiosity is there a reason why he has been making jabs at Chris recently?
What is his beef with Chris Stuckman?
Well, somebody doesn't want to get "Stuckmanized!" 😂
Shots fired I guess?
I'm glad I spent less than 8 minutes on this movie than the full runtime.
If you don't like fun dumb action flicks made for the 17 year old boy in you then it's good you missed it, it's not a movie for serious critical types, if you don't want a laugh and some gratuitous violence and by the time Conor gets on screen zero realism then you should NOT watch this movie. This is a movie you need to have a sense of humor for.
The most enjoyable part of the movie was pointing all the stuff I saw when I visited my brother who's stationed in the keys.
The original worked because it fit Patrick Swayze's persona at the time perfectly.
If there's no mullets, it's not the real Road House.
Colin McGregor was the the ony good part of this film for me. His performance is so wild and over the top I expected him to start literally chewing on the scenery at some point. Watching him was like watching someone play GTA, he steals cars, gets to his destination then crashes and abandons them, he bashes random people, he wears strange outfits, even his fights seem like video game fights. At least he made me laugh!
wild and over the top, also known as, coked up and on steroids.
Come on man the protagonist was fantastic on the film.. he carried the film himself, it k my he went to fantastic shape for it, he actually played the “super duper mysterious stranger” very well.. I enjoyed the film a lot mainly due to the protagonist, mcgregor was stupidly over the top , and turned me off in the beginning, but then I was oh well he is having fun & I am facing fun see him be a lunatic so it’s not that bad.. the only thing turned me off was that there was no last scene were protagonist kick Åðð to mcgregor.. I mean I know is impossible but is s fun film already unreal things happen why not this one too
Connor
@@tsoupakis Oh course one clown would appeal to another
@@maxmeier532so like an 80s action star? That makes him right for the role then
3:02 omg that weak child-like kick sent him flying back
I don't care "hey fellas" will live on forever the way it's said is so funny dude lol
Connor -“Who dafuq is that guy?” That’s critical drinker
Conor McGregor - very much an uncritical drinker.
