Title: New Road House movie
Post by: obsidian on March 22, 2024, 11:29:01 AM
It was quite entertaining. Jake is great in the fight scenes. McGregor has a permanent grin that needs to be surgically removed. He looked to me like a Leprechaun.

200 mg test (weekly)

20 mg anavar (daily)

another good one:

200 mg eq

20 mg anavar

if the drugs r real, and the response is right – those dosages in that combination will make magic happen.

'safe' and effective.

Your loss. My wife said it was funny and she wants to watch it again. The new version is darker than the original. I think it was a good move not to try and just copy the original. The fast food restaurant next to the book store was named "Double Deuce". I caught that right away.  ;D

I still prefer the original. It had a lot more interesting characters. Brad Wesley was hilarious!

Swayze nailed his role! Loved him in Road House.

Gyllenhaal's version is different for sure. He has more muscle and his fight scenes are great. Just a different interpretation. Apples and Oranges.

Based on this thread I'm watching this now - paused half way through

Pretty good, but I wish McGregor didn't do that stupid ILS swagger (and boy does he have a gigantic noggin!!)


Edit: finished - enjoyed it - no spoilers but enjoyed the final fight - rewound it a few times! 8)

one thing : what the hell is that last scene about ? starts playing a trash cover of “enter sandman” you think conner is about to skull fuck Jacob but then he kills him like a vampire , enter sandman just abruptly stops and all his problems are solved ?

plus i was waiting for a reintroduction of the phrase “I used to fuck guys like you in prison” - big let down there

You obviously didn't watch through the credits.

ZERO character development throughout the whole movie.   The bar owner was more of a back ground character than the book store girl.  There's a fucking murder in a bar, mystery boat crash, truck crash, etc. and then you have people coming up and asking "are you open".   Seriously???

I wanted to rip my own throat out after watching this steaming pile of shit.  Can't wait for the Pitch Meeting or Honest Trailer guys to roast this.

Never expected it to be Lord of the Rings.  I did, however, expect characters to have some sort of meaning to a story rather than "oh, wait we need someone to do XYZ...lets just write a character in to do that".

1) The "added" bouncer with boxing skills
2) The "cop" ex-boyfriend
3) The pony-tailed bad guy
4) The dad of the book store girl
5) The boat dock guy
6) The stupid croc...really???

Argyle also sucked so much balls.  I painfully watched it on a flight.  Fucking bulking season for Jessica....Sam Rockwell seemed to owe someone a favor....the CGI is getting fucking ridiculous.

Watched half hr so far. Road House isn't a movie that can benefit from a remake like advances in sfx.
It's pointless, fight choreography might be good but for more realism the original is superior, swayze gets beat up on by the goons whereas gyllenhaals wait to be slapped by him.
Why name the restaurant double deuce, they think they are clever and nods to the original, no they are just copying and switching things up as if they are being creative.
It's an OK watch so far but there is really no point.

So corny and stupid. Beats up 4-5 guys, then gives them ride to hospital where they crack jokes, etc.

Only half way through.  It's ok so far.  A young black woman owning the a rowdy bar in the keys is more liberal fetish than even close to reality.  Same with the bookstore owner.  It's the Florida keys.  Nothing but crusty white people.  Also is that some they/them bartender?  Gross.

The bad guys were annoying and unimpressive I'll agree. Brad Wesley simply cannot be replicated. Jake was really the best part of the new version. BTW, most of it was shot in the Dominican Republic. Only the aerial 7-mile bridge scene was filmed in Marathon, Florida. The UFC scenes were filmed in Las Vegas.

DNF. Shit tier remake. Diversity for the sake of diversity, none of the characters are sympathetic or even slightly likeable. The original Roadhouse wasn't high culture, but the writing and storyline are worlds better. Connor McGregor was a garbage villain, just meant to hook UFC dollars and cross promotion. They could've wheeled out a geriatric Tong Po, Bolo Yeung, Matthias Hues, etc.... from any B grade action film of the 80's or 90's would've been more enjoyable than him and the other nothing that play the bad guys. 

Also, omitting the whole Sam Elliot style character?

Garbage film.

The one "coward" tough guy was pretty funny for sure.  No reason for Connor's character to be like that. They tried to hard and made it all way to unbelievable.  An insult to the original  I hope "Dalton" comes back from his grave and kicks the shit out these ass clowns that remade it.

Yup.  Hollywood sucks.

The thing about movies like Point Break, Robocop, Roadhouse, etc was that you cannot recreate the overall campiness of these films.  Each film had scenes that made you laugh out loud or even cheer when you saw them in real time, and had lines that were quoted for 20 years after.

Who hasn't told their wife "you're going to be my regular Saturday night thing", named their Colecovision centerfielder ED-209, or said "pain don't hurt" every single time I was asked if I was ok? 

Ok, maybe those are all just me, but you get the point.

Yup.  Hollywood sucks.

The thing about movies like Point Break, Robocop, Roadhouse, etc was that you cannot recreate the overall campiness of these films.  Each film had scenes that made you laugh out loud or even cheer when you saw them in real time, and had lines that were quoted for 20 years after.

Who hasn't told their wife "you're going to be my regular Saturday night thing", named their Colecovision centerfielder ED-209, or said "pain don't hurt" every single time I was asked if I was ok? 

Ok, maybe those are all just me, but you get the point.

Remakes cannot provide any of that.

Point Break was the first thing I thought when I heard about this remake coming out. What do they have against Swayze where they have to ruin every one of his classics? What’s next, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar? Wait, that one might do well nowadays…

Given the landscape today, that's the one movie they probably think is too perfect to touch.

So in conclusion, the Road House remake represents modern-day Hollywood very well. Total shit.

No reason whatsoever to have a Black Roadhouse-owner and the black family with the bookstore added nothing

Diversity for diversitys sake

They needed a Sam Elliott-character.

The only thing that was similar was that he hooked up with the nurse.

DNF. Shit tier remake. Diversity for the sake of diversity, none of the characters are sympathetic or even slightly likeable. The original Roadhouse wasn't high culture, but the writing and storyline are worlds better. Connor McGregor was a garbage villain, just meant to hook UFC dollars and cross promotion. They could've wheeled out a geriatric Tong Po, Bolo Yeung, Matthias Hues, etc.... from any B grade action film of the 80's or 90's would've been more enjoyable than him and the other nothing that play the bad guys. 

Also, omitting the whole Sam Elliot style character?

Garbage film.   
Yes, the original can't be beat. Every character in Swayze's version was entertaining. Literally everyone. Remember the sleazy salesman that spots Dalton in the car lot looking for a car? His grin was hilarious.

Jake was the best in the remake. My wife thinks Connor was funny. Now she walks around like the Leprechaun in our house, lats spread - lmao! Connor was irritating at times for me personally, but at least he was good in his fight scenes. Moe was kind of funny.

Just watched it ….. better than I thought but……like the fast and furious movies it’s more of like a cartoon, where the first one was way more believable and a classic! ….people flying off boats and onto buildings and not dying lol ….Connors coked out little dwarf routine got old fast! ….  .. entertaining but should have left the original alone!

What a solid piece of shit movie.  The acting was horrendous.  The Oompa Loompa bad guy was a fucking joke.  Apparently he was a vampire because he couldn’t feel pain and only died with a wooden stake. The entire storyline was horrible.  Why did they make this shit?

After credits....he walks out of a hospital after beating everyone up.  No vampire....just a terminator.

Patrick Swayze was a trained ballet dancer before he got into acting, his mom taught him.

Sure he is wearing a dress, but he is still more massive than the two penis chasing twinks dj181 and Hulkatron.

Yes, it really takes effort to look past the lat and leg spreading, the neck rotations, eye-rolling, gurning grinning, etc etc - and just how big is his fucken head from behind!?!?

I'd still push through though - I viscerally enjoyed the 'vampire' bit at the end - rewatched it a few satisfying times - but I missed the after credits scene damnit!!

I am half Irish but live in England, wondering what do you think of Conor as a full blown Irishman living in Ireland? Is he still popular over there? I would love to hear your opinion.
