{{quote|''Everyone walked out of'' Road House ''into the sunlight feeling stunned, stupid, a little [[Even the Guys Want Him|gay for Patrick Swayze]], and wondering idly why they ever thought [[Duran Duran]] was a good band. In one day, [[The Eighties|the 80s]] were over. Women's hairdos started to make sense once again. Spandex was abolished. The [[New Kids on the Block|New Kids]] and Wham! were purged from our cultural memory.''|'''[http://spoonyexperiment.com/road-house-2/ Noah Antwiler]''', ''[[The Spoony Experiment]]''}}

''Road House'' is rated a [[So Bad It's Good|camp classic]] not because of its quality, but because it is one of the most implausible films of all time. Much of this is traced to Swayze's character, a modern-day samurai with a [[Genius Bruiser|degree in philosophy]] who practices Tai Chi and walks around in shirts that resemble a [[Martial Arts Uniform|Gi]]. A [[Direct to Video|direct-to-DVD]] sequel, ''Road House 2: Last Call'', was released in 2006 and [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome|replaced]] Dalton with his hitherto unknown son, Shane.

* [[Alternate DVD Commentary]]: ''Road House'' has the honor of being the inaugural subject for [[Riff Trax]]. This movie is Mike Nelson's personal benchmark for [[So Bad It's Good]] movies.
