It's almost impossible to top that.
Gyllenhall has some mighty shoes to fill, but he has the chops.
They apparently remade Road House?!?!?

Almost. But then again I've seen the piece de resistance that is Keanu Reeves method acting portrayal of Johnathan Utah.
There better be some totally unnecessary but still awesome nudity in it.
Will the "Brad Wesley" character be able to throw a spear and take shots like Ben Gazzara did in the original?

This will not live up to the original. Swayze was perfect for that role along with Sam Elliott as a total badass. And Kelly Lynch was a smoke show. Was there a better movie for any red-blooded American male growing up in the 80s?
Cult classic, but I'll watch this one for the fun.

Hopefully there's enough pressure on Amazon to make them change their mind.
This is one that I would make sure to see in a theater for sure. I imagine it is a ton of fun without taking itself too seriously and those are the kinds of movies I prefer to see on the big screen.
I have such a high opinion of local hero Patrick Swayze that it's difficult to reconcile with what I think when I try to watch that movie.Belton Ag said:

Road House was of its time. That time has passed. This movie will be forgotten like all the other soulless remakes, even if it is a legit good movie.

Who's that lead actress? She certainly no Kelly Lynch!

It can be good as long as they keep the campiness from the original. The cheese factor of the original are some of the most endearing qualities.
It will be Wanda Garrett. And if she doesn't round house kick a 220 lb man across the bar I will leave the theater (my couch) in protest.Falcon74 said:
Looks like fun. Only question is who plays Wade Garrett?

My issue with Road House is that I saw the edited-for-TV version about 1000 times until streaming video came along 30 years later. I turned it on and 5 minutes in, bam-the bar guy was giving it to the girl in the back room which was not what I remembered!! Oops.
You gotta watch out for all those rough bars down in the Florida Keys.
The hispanic dude is funny as hell.
My initial reaction is no one remakes Road House. But dammit if Jake probably can pull it off.
Here's hoping McGregor doesn't ruin it.

Thanks to Family Guy all I can think of now when I hear Road House is Peter Griffin, I'd prefer to not sully that with Connor McGregor.
Not a remake I knew I needed, but I'm sure I'll enjoy this. Would prefer a theater release.
Also, reminder that every time Bill Murray sees the original roadhouse on TV he calls Kelly Lynch's husband to tell him he's watching his wife have sex with Patrick Swayze.

It was discussed.
Who is playing her in the remake? She was a source
If Mysterio had got in the gym like this before trying to take over EDITH, maybe Peter Parker doesn't whip his ass so bad in Europe.

I did the same thing last year, told my college boy 'You need to see this movie!". We stream it, and I ain't very long into before I'm like "If his Mom walks in, I'm in trouble".Emotional Support Cobra said:

Not quite what I'd rememberd.

As an old dad with an extremely busy schedule I love being able to stream movies from home, but yeah as a cinema lover I do believe that quality movies need to be exclusive to theaters before hitting streaming. I'd be fine with a minimum time of 3 months before moving it to streaming.
" The Double Deuche"
Best line in the original.
And it's one thing to redo Dalton. Another Wade Garrett!

Interesting story about Julie Michaels, who played the blonde bombshell in the original movie:

I've always been kind of a seat-of-the-pants kind of girl and I learn really fast. And I was surrounded with really fabulous people, from our DP to Rowdy, and a plethora of actors that just had hearts that were bigger than their bodies. Terry Funk and some of the fight guys were my kind of guys, just from being physical and an athlete, so I would hang a lot with them. Of course, Patrick was always really great. Sam Elliot, to me, is like the ultimate guy on the planet. So sitting on the back of the grip truck with my little feet just dangling over, kicking like a little kid, listening to his stories and his lovely voice, it was a dream come true. It was one of those things that people say, "That'll never happen," you know? It happened.
Can't believe she was 19 when filming the movie. I would have guessed 30
