Road House remake

Thrill

To be directed by Rob Cohen. A script has already been written.

The classic 1989 film Road House, which featured Patrick Swayze as a legendary bouncer called in to clean up a notorious Missouri club with his fists, is getting a remake.

The Hollywood Reporter says that MGM has assigned Rob Cohen, director of the original The Fast and the Furious, to direct.

A script has been written, but there's no word on casting or an estimated release date.

Oh ffs, the 80's cheese of Road House is the charm of it. probably have The Rock in it.

...actually, I'd probably watch that.

Why bother? The original Road House is perfect.

Total guilty pleasure movie, it's cheesy as hell but all the more fun for it.

Cheesy as fùck with some prime 80's quotes:

"What's the matter, you chicken dick?"

It was a terribly silly movie that knew it which added to it's charm.

As other have said, how the hell can they remake Road House the plot is ridiculous but its brilliantly 80's and the cheese is what makes it.

This and Over the Top were two films that were so drenched in 80's I thought we would never see them re made.

Some films should not be remade and the brilliant Road House is one if them.

Is it time for me to watch Road House?


Edit: I should add that I have seen Road House 2, which is what put me off seeing Road House 1

I know, I saw it turned into a film years ago.

The original is killer. The Jeff Healey band appear as the house band. It has proper baddies, not like today's douche bags. Sam Elliot's tash and deep voice. Several tommy tanks were had (Kelly Lynch), vhs took a battering. Hollywood be ashamed.

80's villians weren't just villians with some sort of tragic background, they were just complete dickheads. :pac:

Ha yeah, rich guy who has his own helicopter and pool cue wielding henchman, just because he can.

Ah that's it I'm watching this over the weekend.

MagicMarker

Yeah and I thought you'd be bigger.

helimachoptor

I still watch this regularly i'd say every few months, it's just so cheesy and awesome at the same time

TheDoc

Watched this merely because of the Family Guy episode and absolutely loved it.

It was just so 80's, made zero sense, and was all round magic!

kryogen

Dunno why I put off watching this for so many years, brilliant, loved it! Pure 80's

I'd be another who's never watched this. Amazed to see so much love for the original here. I always assumed it was just another in the long line of post-Dirty Dancing excuses for Patrick Swayze to take his shirt off flicks...

He does and all, just go with it and appreciate the cheese. It's 80's-tastic. Big hair, bad sweaters, tight jeans, 80's music, a villain who has a henchman who knows martial arts just like the hero, it's got everything :pac:

Can't stand Ronda rousey and shes a **** actress

JP Liz V1

Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook) will write and direct Ronda Rousey’s Road House Source

Duggy747

She comes across nice in real life but she really can't act for shít. They'd want to have solid fight scenes and not take the film's tone in a serious way for it to work.
