We Did the Math, and 'Road House' Is a Western
Road House uses Western tropes, fitting perfectly in the genre despite a nontraditional setting.
He's the miracle they never dared pray for. He is, of course, Patrick Swayze, and he is the legendary bouncer John Dalton. Road House has become a pop culture treasure, thanks to its encapsulation of everything that made the 80s so great and ridiculous. From the mullets to the flannels and rock and roll, it's pulsing with 80s memorabilia. Swayze is one of the most recognizable stars from the late 80s and 90s, and he gave one of his most iconic performances in Road House. Born and raised in Texas, Swazye brings his southern swagger to the big screen as a philosophical practicing bouncer and sets the stage as a dangerous outlaw.
