If Michaelangelo, Shakespeare, and da Vinci could some how have collaborated on a movie... You get the idea.

This is a great article that perfectly explains why Roadhouse is a cult classic.

Still, that duo’s unlikely inclusion here at all counts as evidence that this movie knew what the frick it was doing. Road House has a persistent rep among assholes as a so-bad-it’s-good farce, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a film that recognizes and embraces its own absurdity. And it does so many of the little things right, right down to the casting of its faceless henchmen. It’s got main villain Ben Gazzara crooning along to “Sh-Boom” while veering his red sports car all over the road. It’s got a monster truck smashing up a car dealership for virtually no reason. It’s got a bar owner describing his own business as “the kind of place where they sweep the eyeballs up after closing.” It’s got one lead villain start a fight by barking, “I used to frick guys like you in prison,” leading to countless “Is that badass? I guess that’s badass” middle-school debates.

A trail wreck that I can't take my eyes off of every time it it's on the tube.

I'm pretty sure Westerns are considered to take place in the 1800s.
It is typical, but I don't think that's necessarily the case. I think there's a structure to a western and typical tropes that are associated with it. There are some elements of a Western to Roadhouse, but that is getting a little creative with the description.

Roadhouse is a modern day parable. Brad Wesley was a truly evil man, despite bringing JC Penny to town.
