This is a real movie?

Watched last night. Found myself skipping the scenes with the book shop and anything that wasn’t at the bar really. Found some of the fights scenes looked almost animated, especially the weird Post Malone bit at the beginning. Could’ve cut 30mins of shitty no name acting out and made a better 90min action flick. Don’t know what the Hollywood obsession with bloated running times is. If it’s a comedy of just action keep under 2hrs for fucks sake. Also, for all the fanooks saying the og sucked, fuck you. Swayze ruled, and Roadhouse is a bonafide 80’s classic.

Its still sort of funny to me that this was supposed to be Ronda’s movie originally and in the end… Conor stole Ronda’s movie.

Having Ronda as Dalton was a terrible Hollywood cash grab idea.

Using a real actor as Dalton and using a male UFC star as the villain was the right move.

If you like Roadhouse… just be glad Hollywood didn’t turn Ronda into Dalton.

I watched it last night. It was entertaining if you go into the movie without high expectations. I thought Conor did fine. I wouldn’t watch it again but didn’t regret seeing it. It kept my interest.

5/10…

After Ghostbusters, Exorcist, Black Christmas, Jacob’s Ladder, Hellraiser, and Jamie Lee Curtis Halloween, I’m shocked Roadhouse with Jake G as Dalton and Mcgregor as “Knox” (cringe) isn’t better than the original. Can’t wait for the Dirty Dancing reboot.

I wonder when will we see him in some movie wearing a dress…

If you had (have?) a Swayze poster, we don’t judge, bro.

My friend watched this McG version, and thought of it as mindless entertainment worth the time. I would disagree, but it’s hard to find something with my GF that we both like ha ha, so I will probably watch it.

Can young kids see it?

Guys calm down this is not meant to win Oscar’s and be movie of the year it’s just a fun remake that’s it let’s not take it so serious

I enjoy this guy’s reviews. Just came out today for the Conor movie.

And then MMA psycho-peacock Conor McGregor shows up, strutting and flexing, bellowing and bullying and beating and making sure everybody knows his name. “Knox” he’s called, many times. “Knox” is tattooed all over his chest.

The original was so fucking bad…give me “Hard to Kill”, “Out for Justice” and “Above the Law” over this tripe…fans of “Roadhouse” according to several studies, have strong homosexual urges and listen to Leo Sayer, The Bee Gees and the Go-Gos

You’re lying if you say you wouldnt have fucked Swayze.

Everyone loves the BeeGees Dudley. Don’t act like you don’t.

Definitely not for little kids, pretty violent with lots of bone breaks and blood. I didn’t/don’t have a Swayze poster but would gladly have a poster of Dalton or Bhodi from Point Break!:grin:

Was enjoying it till Conor came on screen…like a basic good v evil Jason Statham movie.

Strutting about like a juiced up peacock… They should have had him slapping up some octogenarians in that bar for realism.

I reckon the scenes with Conor driving was real footage of him that they used in the film.

If she would’ve kept winning, her in that movie would have been uge!

I think the movie sucks, and I haven’t even seen it yet.

I like the part where Jake finally gets revenge on Conor after having lost the first time… and after the head kick ko of Conor… when Jake says that line that’s a callback to what Conor had said to Jake when he beat Jake earlier in the film.
That part rules.
Also the love interest of Jake’s character is pretty.
