{{quote|''People have asked me if I hold to a unifying theory that informs my writing on cinema. In the past I've told them that I simply judge a movie on its success or failure in representing the perceived point of view of the filmmaker, but now I realize that I was just saying something to get rid of them. What I really believe is that a film should be judged on how well it comes off when compared with the Patrick Swayze film ''Road House''. For ''Road House'' is the single finest American film.''|'''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mike Nelson's]]'s Movie Megacheese'''}}
 
{{quote|''What makes '''Road House''' such a great movie? The answer is easy: It's quite simply the most implausible film ever made. This is a movie that expects you to believe a man can be famous the world over for being a bouncer. This is a movie that wants you to believe a small-town crime lord can afford a Bigfoot 4x4 monster truck, and that he will actually use it to intimidate local businesses. This is a movie that wants you to believe it's possible to rip a man's throat out with your bare hands. Compared to '''Road House''', '''[[Star Wars]]''' is a documentary.''|'''Albert''', |'''[[The Agony Booth]]'''}}

{{quote|''''Road House'' is the kind of movie that leaves reality so far behind that you have to accept it on its own terms.''|'''[[Roger Ebert]]'''}}
