Still one of my fav reaction moments. WE'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU! Daniel, he's home. Where the f.... you look? That should have been stop number 1. I was laughing never picked up on that before. I will never look at that scene the same way again without laughing 😆😅😂

2025-06-26 07:54:12 +0000 UTCGreat reactions, Sam and Dan! As noted earlier in the comments; a road house bar is an inn, restaurant, or nightclub located on a road outside a town or city limits. Usually, to avoid any local rules or regulations pertaining to the quality or type of entertainment / food or drinks. Most of the ones I’ve been to have been a step or two above dive bars. The waitress you two were trying to identify is Carrie, played by Kathleen Wilhoite. She’s basically a female version of a “character actor”. I can’t think of anything in which she’s been top billed. But she always does a good job in whatever she’s in. I doubt I’ll watch the remake, because…why? I’m not really into watching a lot of remakes, especially for movies which (in my opinion) don’t really need it. Not a big fan of “updated for a modern audience” remakes, such as “West Side Story” (2021), “Carrie” (2013), etc.). Two big exceptions to my above preference: “Ben-Hur” (1959) remake of “Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ” (1925), and “I Am Legend” (2007) which was a remake of “The Omega Man” (1971) which itself was a remake of “The Last Man on Earth” (1964), which was an adaptation of Richard Matheson’s book, “I Am Legend”. I didn’t watch the remake of “Ben Hur”(2016), nor will I watch the sequel to “I Am Legend” (no release date yet). Same for “Gladiator 2” (due sometime this year). The stories were done. Why try to make franchises out of them?

2024-05-23 15:53:38 +0000 UTCI've never liked this movie, but I've seen it so many times. I've had friends that always wanted to watch it. And I enjoy looking at boobs so I tolerate it. But I really love the remake. It's one of my favorite movies this year after THE FALL GUY.

2024-05-14 09:41:26 +0000 UTCYeah, me too. Less 80s cheese. 80s movies are fun sometimes because of the cheesiness factor, but the original Road House just maxes out on the cheesiness--to the point that it becomes slightly unbearable to watch.

2024-05-13 04:06:16 +0000 UTCFun Fact: Keith David’s character Ernie had a bigger scene or two in the film that was cut when the director started editing the film. Also, I grew up watching this film by about 100 thousand times and I have to be honest it completely went over my head for years about what the “Bleeder” said to Dalton about “We’ve been looking all over for you..”. When you guys pointed that out I started laughing hysterically! 🤣🤣

2024-05-03 20:43:35 +0000 UTCI didn't know what to expect with this movie. Haha. But I enjoyed it! RIP, Patrick Swayze. I hope you guys will reach to "Ghost" also.

2024-05-03 19:37:02 +0000 UTCThe killing of Brad Wesley was loosely based on killing of a notorious "town bully" Ken McElroy in 1981. There were 46 potential witnesses to his killing, but no one said a word to the authorities, cause he was such an ass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy

2024-05-03 15:44:38 +0000 UTCWorked on the VFX of the remake, and that Peter Griffin Roadhouse gif was pretty much the star of every internal chats

2024-05-03 10:54:38 +0000 UTCOne of the greatest bad movies ever made! It's so dumb, but it's clear that everyone is in on the ridiculous stupidity (without quite winking at us) which then totally lends the whole thing some sort of bizarre, dignified credibility. Oh, and fun fact: pain actually does hurt.

2024-05-03 06:48:22 +0000 UTCRoadhouse is a kind of bar. When I moved here there was a bar/restaurant called Texas Roadhouse and I always thought of this movie when I went there.

2024-05-03 04:33:09 +0000 UTCI thought of Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior when I was watching this because of the bar fights. Definitely worth watching if you guys haven't seen it.

2024-05-03 04:26:31 +0000 UTCfwiw a "Roadhouse" is a generic colloquial term for any rowdy bar outside the city limits, usually on or close to a main highway.

2024-05-03 01:51:31 +0000 UTCin my opinion, I can honestly tell you that both this original and the new remake are a great fun time!
Terry Lee
2024-05-03 01:39:17 +0000 UTCIf you ask Dalton what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till." After you ask, "Two seconds to what?", he roundhouse kicks you in the face. When Dalton was born, he drove his mom from the hospital. Voldemort refers to Dalton as "You Know Who".

2024-05-03 01:35:46 +0000 UTCI started watching this last night to get ready for this reaction and I fell asleep ten minutes in not because I was bored but I was tired lol ill be back after I watched it first on my own lol 🤷♀️🤦♂️😂 and I have watched Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House I enjoyed it a lot but maybe it was because I hadn't seen this first one first so I didn't have anything to compare it too, short answer I think yall will enjoy it as well, yall are very open minded when it comes to films!
