“Every time Road House is on and he or one of his idiot brothers are watching TV — and they’re always watching TV — one of them calls my husband and says [In a reasonable approximation of Carl Spackler], “Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They’re doing it. He’s throwing her against the rocks.” [Away from the receiver.] What? Oh, my God. Mitch was just walking out the door to the set, and he said that Bill once called him from Russia.


This is quite possibly one of the most awesome things I have ever read.

Dalton was his back name. Front name James.

May bad. I corrected it.

Dalton's deal to work the Double Deuce was "$5,000 up front, $500 per night and you pay all medical bills.

So how long of a time period did the movie entail? If it was a month, then he would've made around $19,000 (not counting the medical expences). That's a pretty good paycheck. I wonder if he paid taxes on it.

quote:

Per his medical record file that he carries with him (detailing 31 broken bones, 2 bullet wounds, 9 stab wounds, and 4 stainless steel screws)

Well, you don't become the most famous bouncer in the business without a few scrapes and scratches.

When a man sticks a gun in your face, you only have two choices: you can die, or you can kill the motherfricker (by ripping his throat out with your bare hand).

No worries on the first name or last name thing. I've seen Roadhouse (sadly) about twenty
times and just picked up on the James Dalton thing last night.

"That's an estimate, of course."

And it's 9 "puncture wounds."

I love this movie so damn much. But it's still a mystery to me as to why it is so popular.

Massive explosions (what were Red and Emmitt storing in those places?), cheesy martial arts (remember Jimmy twirling the pool cue, beating three guys half to death and then using it to pole vault onto the stage?), bar fights (too numerous to mention), titties (also too numerous to mention) and a monster truck! What's not to like?!?!?

::Spoiler::

Even though all of you has seen it. Still trying to figure out how Swayze was able to rip that guys' heart out from his chest with his bare hands. Temple of the Doom style like it was nothing!

Jeff Healey was a talented guy.

He could be the poster child for a Cancer Sucks campaign. Had to have his eyes removed as an infant or toddler as a result of some type of genetic cancer (which one of his sons also had) and then died at 41 from cancer.

its on again. woot





was thinking about this earlier. when dalton talks to brad on the phone and he flips the coin to see who dies, why doesnt dalton tell doc about it when he goes there to get her. when wade came in the bar, it was assumed that doc was going to get killed. was dalton just like frick it, she dies?

Bumping my own post because I really want to know the answer. Or at least a plausible theory.
