That's what I thought when they made the first Road House.

Generally, I agree that it's the bad movies that should be remade to--hopefully--turn them into good ones. BUT the initial film must have an interesting story that was not handled well and deserves a second take. This film, however, had a dumb story and was solely a vehicle for Swayze to run around in tight pants with his shirt off, so should be discarded and forgotten for the turkey it was.
Certainly not a highlight of Ben Gazzara's career.

The movie I'm looking g forward to is the one the director is currently working on in which J.Lo playes a "psychotic MILF".

The Swayzie movie got named "Dirty Fighting" over here to capitalize on the one movie he was famous for at the time ...
Because of that I expected it to be really bad, but I found it to be merely mediocre.
It has a certain style, it is certainly an '80s movie. I expect that the people doing the remake has a new take on it in mind.

Prolly Jason Statham or they'll do something awful like turn him into a girl, like Layla Ali...
Anyone want to start the pool on who's going to be cast as Dalton?
My guess would be either John Cena or Channing Tatum. Either way the movie is gonna suck harder than a black hole.

If they wait a few more years, Jaden Smith will be old enough :sick
Enough already Hollywood.

The haters, they will hate. Roadhouse is a cinematic masterpiece. Beethoven's 8th, with roundkicks.
But so much of that movie was centrally 80's. The world is entirely too pussified to handle a movie about zen-bouncers and small town tzars getting cummuppanced (with roundkicks).

There are countless movies that are enjoyable because of the current zeitgeist. Watching them years later will of course not be in their favour. I remember this movie because it had pink credits, and movies with pink credits at the time were often not my cup of tea.
