OT: An Exhaustive Breakdown of "Road House"

[mn78psu83]

I was literally in tears reading this breakdown. Man, I love that movie. Definitely near the top of the "if you come across it changing channels you just can't turn it off" list. It's just so damned preposterous!

Oh, no! Do you mean country doctors don't look like this?

My sister was friends with him while they were at PSU. Apparently he was quite the character back then. LOL.

This is awesome. My favorite clip from the article...The cops accept the “I didn’t see nothing” story and treat the scene of bloody corpses scattered about as a big misunderstanding.

Can't believe they don't make mention of wrestler Terry Funk as one of the henchmen.

I think this was the first movie I ever saw Sam Elliott in; he hasn’t broken character since.

I saw this movie for first time when I was 13 years old. I never seen anything quite like it before. The fights, the amazing quotes , nudity and of course how bad ass Patrick Swayze was. Thought it was greatest movie ever made. 25 years later I still think greatest movie ever made, but of course like article says in a good bad way.

There is a good Christmas movie with him in it. Prancer. I thought it was a good movie. Use to watch it with the kids every year.

He’s good in everything! But, he’s always Sam Elliott in everything too (like Jack Nicholson).

Could be worse-could be Vince Vaughn. Because he is Vince Vaughn. In every movie.

Wedding Crashers is a great movie.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Wedding Crashers is a great movie.

So is Swingers, Old School, The Break-Up, and Clay Pigeons. His schtick is perfect for certain roles. Like Elliott. Elliott did shave for Justified, and that was super weird.

But that’s just it he is the same in every role-goofy middle aged suburban guy.

His acting depth wouldnt fill a saucer.

I don't disagree, but he did try to do different things early in his career. He has his thing and it's worked for him, like a lot of actors. But, he's never going to win an Oscar or anything. Jack did, but it's because everyone in Hollywood loves him for being him.

I've read a couple of articles about Sam Elliot's performance in "A Star is Born" and and people are talking about possible Oscar nomination for him. That was a surprise. Almost makes me want to see a movie in which I have no interest.

How many takes do you think it took for him to say that line with a straight face? I'd love to see the Road House outtakes.
