throat rips, monster trucks, bar fights, and pleated pants.
We saw Roadhouse, so you know what that means.
Now it's time for How Did This Get Made?
Gonna have a good time, celebrate some failure, not just be the hater,
cause you know you wonder, how did this get made?
Let's follow in the mediocrity of subpar art.
Perhaps you'll find the answer to the question,
how did this get made?
Hello, people of Earth, and welcome
to How Did This Get Made Live?
We are in Seattle at Bumbershoot,
and man, oh man, we have an amazing movie today,
but first, let's welcome my two co-hosts.
Please welcome Jason Van Zukis. Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!

All right.

And our very special guest, the first returning guest
on How Did This Get Made, Doug Benson.
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! the first returning guest on How Did This Get Made, Doug Benson! (*applause*)
All right.
Here we go.
What's up jerks?
This, this movie, wow.
I haven't seen it in a long time, Roadhouse,
and it is, it's amazing.
This movie is fucking fantastic.
It's quite good.
It's, I think it's probably the best,
like the best B movie there is,
and there's so much insane stuff in it.
Like it's a mainstream movie, but it's insane.
Just when the movie starts to slow down,
I feel like shit happens that is just like,
oh, we're going to drive a monster truck
through a car shop right now?
All right, cool.
You know a movie's good when in the first three minutes
a woman is being kicked in the pussy.
Yeah.
Well that's a crazy moment too,
because she calls in one of the first scenes of the movie,
she calls a guy who she's with at a bar an asshole,
and then he kicks her off a stool.
She stabs him first, she stabs him first. No, she didn't stab him.
Yeah, he stabs the money.
She stabbed the money.
She says something, yeah, yeah, sorry, you're right.
He gives her $100, this is also an era
where everybody's carrying $100 bills,
inexplicably like, here's a $100 bill.
She stabs it, he kicks her in the fucking pussy.
Every single person in this movie carries a knife.
It's as if there is no such thing as guns.
Yes.
It really is like, well, I've got my knife that's strapped to my leg, or I've got my knife over here.
Everybody's got knives.
And the knives are super big, like almost comically, and the guns are tiny.
Yeah.
They're like babies.
That's true.
The knives per capita in this city,
and this little outskirts of Kansas City,
where are they in again?
I forget the name of the town.
Oh, Jasper.
Jasper, yeah.
Good old Jasper.
Good old Jasper.
But it starts, that first fight with the $100 bill
is in New York, right?
That's his first bar, isn't it?
No, he's not in New York anymore, right?
I thought his car is just New York Place.
Where's the first bar that he's at?
The place where What's-His-Name finds him
and is like, I know who you are.
I think it's undisclosed.
It's just in another.
Somewhere else.
It's the city though.
Yeah.
I do think the movie starts off very boldly
because you start off, you know,
Patrick Swayze is being watched as he's being a cooler,
which is not a bouncer.
This is a guy above the bouncers.
Coolers.
Well, Paul, you don't have to explain it because everybody knows what a cooler is, right?
Was William H. Macy a cooler in that movie, The Cooler?
That's a different kind of cooler.
No, that's a... Yeah. Patrick Swayze doesn't go places and make people's luck change while playing cards.
He's the uber bouncer.
He's the uber bouncer who has three rules, but it's a bold move to have a fight scene and the first time you reveal him full
He's wearing like Z cavaricis like I'm not afraid of a bouncer and pleated pants
Oh, yeah, and he is later in the movie wearing what appears to be like a blousey jeans and a karate
Gi as a shirt. Yeah
Right. He sure is pretty amazing.
He is constantly wearing, I'm pretty sure, women's clothes.
Ha ha ha.
Jonah Ray called that karate casual
when we did a live interruption of the movie one time.
I love that he also is unfazed by being stabbed.
He gets stabbed in, again, the first five minutes,
doesn't even blink, doesn't even question it,
like, oh, all right, here we go, come outside.
And it was a bad stab, too.
Oh, yeah, but he stitches it up himself
because he's a fucking badass.
He's like five foot five,
a hundred pounds of pure power.
He must be standing on like an Apple box every scene.
Kelly Lynch's love interest literally is a giant. He is miniature.
They hammer him with the I thought you'd be bigger thing.
Like they really make a big point out of how small he is.
Well, I mean also, if we're going to talk about
like the ridiculousness of Patrick Swayze being a bouncer.
Then Ben Gazera is the bad guy.
Even in this, Ben Gazera is an old man.
Like, he's like in his late 40s, early 50s.
Like, he's no match for the 20-year-old Patrick Swayze,
even in his blousy clothes.
And his sweatpants.
And he has that crazy scene where he's just driving
in his caddy, singing along to what's
he listening to?
Like a Tony Bennett?
It's so like 80s richy rich excess.
I'm so rich I'm not.
I use the whole road.
That's how rich I am.
That's so much money I have.
I put a dog on top of the car and I use the whole road.
The way that they show that he's a bad guy in the beginning
is that he takes over the whole road.
He also has late night parties, like swim parties.
Oh, and he rides in a helicopter.
He rides in a helicopter.
He commutes in a helicopter.
Yeah, by the way, commutes to where?
To town?
Who knows?
Because his business appears to be extorting money
from the townspeople.
From only this town.
Only Jasper, which is maybe.
It is like a tiny town in Texas.
Yeah, exactly.
And he appears to be a multimillionaire
by extorting them for protection money.
He is like a one-man mafia for a ghost town in Texas.
Because seriously, how, but no,
but how much money could those places really be bringing in?
Because he only takes 10% of the auto shop.
That's like what, maybe 15, 20 bucks?
Maybe.
Maybe six people a week come in for wipers and oil.
Like nothing.
I showed June this.
If you watch that scene, I didn't put it here because it doesn't really fit for the podcast,
but if you watch the scene where he's getting put it here because it doesn't really fit for the podcast, but if you watch the scene
where he's getting wipers for Patrick Swayze's character,
you can see a prop master handing the wipers through.
It's like literally handing it through the corner
of the screen.
Go back and watch that scene.
It's pretty amazing.
My favorite Ben Guzzarra line that establishes,
he has like a whole speech to Patrick Swayze
about how powerful he is, and he goes,
JCPenney is coming here because of me.
What?
That's your brag?
That's a powerful, that's how powerful I am.
You get the max for the minimum at TJ Maxx because of me.
KB Toys is rumored to be developing in our town square.
Need I bring up Build-A-Bear?
We're getting two of them. I'm talking to the people at Orange Julius.
They're not ready to commit yet.
The other thing about this small town,
besides the fact that he's extorting them
and is a rich millionaire, is the fact that he's extorting them and is a rich millionaire,
is the fact that there's no cops.
In this movie, there's no penalties for serious crimes.
Such as murder?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Swayze straight up murders a dude, nothing happens.
Nothing.
Like zero.
He gets flowers.
He rips a dude's throat out, zero happens. Nothing. Like zero. He gets flowers. He rips a dude's throat out.
Zero happens.
Let me just give you an idea of what the bar fights in this town look like.
Obviously, Patrick Swayze is recruited to come to this town because this guy has big
plans for his bar.
Wait, can I just for one second?
That guy, wait, it's Kevin Tug, right?
Is his name?
Right.
Okay. He's trying to recruit Patrick Swayze,
and this is what he says about his bar.
It used to be a pretty sweet deal.
Now it's the kind of place where they sweep up,
now it's the kind of place where they sweep up
eyeballs after closing.
Yeah.
Sweep up the eyeballs, man.
Plural, plural eyeballs.
I guess, well, we locked the doors,
let's sweep up the eyeballs. Why don't they just have the eyeball club meet somewhere else?
Guys, stop bringing these eyeballs into the bar.
Come on.
Your bottles break all the time.
JK, it's just peeled grapes.
They're really good.
It's scary for Halloween.
All right. Halloween. Alright, so this is a fight that breaks out after a man that has a woman with
very nice bosoms. He's like, hey, you want to feel my girlfriend's breasts for $20?
Kiss him. He says you can kiss him for $20.
Guy goes over, gropes her for a little bit of time, and then he's like, I don't have
$20,
and then all hell breaks loose.
By the way though, before you play this, Paul,
she seems totally fine with what's happening.
Oh, she's totally, yeah.
She couldn't be happier.
The guy that is offering it is disgusting.
Yeah.
Gross.
He's covered in sweat and looks like a monster.
Also, there's a great line in here too.
I'll play this first. This is You shot him back!
You got me!
This is a normal night.
That is a normal night for that bar.
The most insane fight scene ever.
That makes like, that, just because one man didn't have $20, that broke out.
One person.
Immediately.
It escalates so quickly too.
It is like as if everybody is ready to fight,
and it's just that one guy pushes the other guy
and then it's like, raaah!
Yeah, we all have permission.
Let's go down to the double deuce and wait for fighting.
How did this come in?
How did this come in?
There's two little great lines. Throughout this whole movie, there's a lot of ADR where they record the lines after the
movie's shot and one during a fight scene.
Guy's like, God damn it, you're ripping my best shirt.
That's like during a scene where he's getting like pummeled on the ground.
Did anyone else notice that the music the band's playing is so low in this movie?
Like while the band's playing, you hear people
on the dance floor scream out, yeah!
Way louder than the music itself.
The other thing they have is they clearly were like,
when you guys are talking, the woman that's the waitress,
what's her name?
Baby Joan Cusack?
Baby, yes, who plays Luke's sister on Gilmore Girls.
Who is, she's his pal.
Kathleen Wilhoyt.
Who's that?
Nobody.
She, they were clearly in one scene, they were like, well, we're going to have music
and stuff, so talk loud.
So she is literally screaming at Patrick Swayze in one scene, even though there is barely
no music in the scene at all.
There's barely music, yeah.
She's like, what's your name?
Oh, I heard about you.
I thought you'd be bigger.
And clearly, that was the first time.
What did you say? what's your name? I heard about you.
I thought you'd be bigger and clearly that was what did you say?
Oh, there's so many great non like bad insult lines as I wrote this down to it
says a girl comes over. She says vodka rocks. Then one of the guys on the
spectrum goes, how about nipple to nipple? And then,
I wrote this line, I wrote that line down too.
And then she replies, I can do that myself.
What are these comments?
What are these comments?
Nipple to nipple.
You can't do that.
She was pushing her boobs together.
No, nipple to nipple.
I would like to see that.
You do see her tits later, but she definitely can't do it.
Well, you see her having sex with the bartender who's
on break.
No, no, that's a different girl.
Oh, it's a different girl.
No, this is Ben.
That's Ben Guzaras girl, isn't it,
who orders vodka rocks?
Isn't it?
Oh, you're right.
Yeah, yeah.
But that seems crazy, though, when Patrick Swayze catches
them having sex in the inventory closet,
because he opens the door,
they're in darkness, they are flooded with light.
I mean, it's like a spotlight hit them.
They keep on fucking for a while.
Yeah.
But there's nothing more sexy in that scene
than the guy pulling up his tighty-whities.
Oh yeah.
Get these on, it's so uncomfortable.
But when he's having sex with her, he does say,
you're gonna be my regular Saturday night thing.
That's like a sexy thing to say in the middle of the night.
Girls like being called a thing, right?
He also says, though, I think to her earlier in that scene
when he's at a table with her,
man, you're so well put together.
What?
He goes, I get off at two and I'm going to get you off.
That guy has a million great lines in this movie.
I got to say, I think I do like Ben Guzzara because Ben Guzzara to me, he's rich in this
town but he kind of feels like Richie Rich because there is a scene where he longingly looks at
Patrick Swayze and he's riding an RV.
You ever remember that scene where he's just like
riding an RV on his own property?
Oh, you mean when Patrick Swayze is shirtless
in sweatpants doing Tai Chi?
Oh yeah, that happens for a long time.
A bunch.
It happens a bunch.
Patrick Swayze is a guy who will read philosophy,
do Tai Chi, smoke cigarettes.
That Tai Chi sequence.
Bareback fuck Kelly Lynch because it's the 80s,
so we don't need condoms, right?
Wrong, AIDS just happened.
Yeah.
This may be the reason why AIDS broke out this town.
Everybody.
Jasper. This movie. There was no AIDS broke out this town. Everybody. Jasper.
This movie.
There was no AIDS monkey, it was Jasper.
This movie is all raw dogging.
Everybody's raw dogging everybody.
It is filthy.
Jasper, I'm assuming it's Texas.
It is like Chlamydia herpes capital of the world.
It starts here, goes there, they're ground zero.
She's a doctor.
Yeah.
She's a doctor.
Anything's happening.
I don't trust.
1989, yeah.
She's like, you're a bouncer in a bar,
I'm sure you're safe, put it in me raw, who cares?
Well, she knows that he's safe because he carries
his own medical files with him.
And when she looks through it, she's like, oh, you went to NYU.
Why would that be in a medical file?
He went to NYU for philosophy.
She's like, well great, I'm going to go seduce you
wearing my picnic dress, which is basically
like a tablecloth of a picnic.
A smock.
A smock.
Oh no, in that one it's a picnic dress.
Later she shows up at his house to fuck, and she picnic. A smock. A smock. Oh no, in that one it's the picnic dress. Later she shows up at his house to fuck
and she is wearing a smock.
She's wearing a lacy weird smock that,
and no underwear.
And no bra.
And no bra.
Do you want to play the sexy?
It's called easy access for raw doggin'.
Yeah.
That's right.
And Swayze, by the way, not wearing underwear.
And later you see Sam Elliott's pubes
also not wearing underwear.
Nobody wears underwear in this movie.
They can't, they gotta be ready or raw dog at any moment.
Guys, it is not hygienic.
It should have been called Raw Dog House.
Here is the sex scene.
There's no nudity, so kids don't worry about it.
This is the sex scene.
Here we go.
What's he doing with his shoulders?
He does so much shoulder work in this scene.
She goes for it.
Look at his shoulders.
No underwear. Look at his shoulders
No underwear
Do we no conversation about safe sex nope nothing nothing. This is the real dirty dancing. Oh yeah.
Now look here at the perspective of their body sizes
in a minute.
She's not standing up.
She's giant, he's tiny.
She's giant and he's tiny.
Yeah, and that fireplace cannot feel good against her back.
No.
The worst place to have sex is up against hard brick.
Uneven jagged brick.
He is barely as tall as her neck.
Why is she laughing?
He just told her a good one about his dick being in it.
Oh, he does so much tongue work too.
Oh yeah.
She, look at how big her body is.
Her torso is as big as him from butt to head.
He's like, this is like a dance sequence.
He's like just.
It's fuck dancing.
They do dance, right?
They do dance, yeah.
And that's, and I, yeah, there it is.
All of his fight moves are dance moves as well.
Well, the big fight scene looks like a choreographed ballet
between two guys who are not fighters.
I mean, Patrick Swayze is fighting a guy
who looks like a bizarro Patrick Duffy.
You know?
And they're just like, there's a lot of dancing,
a lot of spin.
Somewhere right now, Patrick Duffy's like,
someone's talking about me.
I know it, I can feel it, someone is talking about me.
Hooray.
All right, there, we talked about the monster truck.
Did we talk about his mock turtleneck?
Oh no, what mock turtleneck?
He's wearing like the black mock turtleneck,
he looks like Steve Jobs in one scene.
Swayze?
He's Swayze, it's when he's telling them
the three rules be nice, blah, blah, blah.
He's wearing like a Steve Jobs mock turtleneck.
I half expect him to be like, but there's one more thing.
That's a Steve Jobs line, guys.
He is, by the way, still dead.
RIP Steve Jobs.
He is still dead.
Did you notice that Keith David was in this movie?
Keith David has one line which is, whiskey's running low.
That's it.
Main build in the credits.
Yup. Fourth build person in this movie.
Does he ever even help out in a fight?
No.
He's a huge guy.
Nope, he's just a bartender.
Clearly his subplot was cut out
because it would break the rule
of having a black person in this movie.
Yep.
They did not, there's only white people here.
And yeah, but that's, I don't know what happened.
I want someone, I hope someone has some Roadhouse trivia. What happened with Keith David's great character Keith David is here
I think and he's ready. I'm just kidding
Thank you very much
There was there's an ADR line in there as well during the the first kind of big fight where somebody goes that's Dalton
He's our new cooler
As if somebody is saying to someone else,
like no duh, obviously we've got a cooler,
and he's the new one.
But wait, but wait, what about the whole fact
that the coolers have some sort of network
in which they communicate?
At one point, Patrick Swayze calls up Sam Elliott
and he goes, oh, yeah, I heard you're working in Jasper.
How?
Are they on like an internet message board?
They're getting on prodigy posting,
like I'll be here, all right, what's going on here?
There's no, they're like, yeah, I heard about you.
Oh yeah, I heard about that guy.
That's a crazy scene too, though,
because after Swayze says I'm having a really hard time,
there's a lot going on in this town,
Sam Elliott just says, gotta go.
And hangs up the phone.
Like Swayze in that kind of macho coat
is clearly calling to ask for help,
but can't say I need help.
And Sam Elliott doesn't take that,
doesn't pick up on it and just hangs up on it.
Sam Elliott chooses to be working at a bar
that is having not a wet t-shirt contest,
a wet g-string contest.
Cause the ladies are already topless.
So they're just spraying down their vaginas.
So that everybody can get a yeast infection.
Too gross?
Like a really gross one, like with discharge.
Okay.
Like Fettuccine Alfredo, guys.
Oh, I'm going to do this.
We're going there.
I actually have a clip of some yeast infections right now.
We have a bunch of clips of yeast infections now.
We're going to show them.
This is a protective service.
Ladies, clean it up!
I also, this is a small moment,
but the owner, that guy Kevin Tide, the owner of the double deuce,
at one point, you know, the bar is in great disrepair
before Patrick Swayze shows up, and he walks by the phone,
and on the wall it says, for a great fuck call,
and there's a number, and he's like, oh boy,
takes out a pen.
First he looks, first he looks around to be like,
is anybody looking at what I'm going to do?
By the way, it's his bar, he can do whatever he wants. And then he looks around to be like is anybody looking at what I'm gonna do by the way It's his bar. You can do whatever he wants and then he looks around pulls out a pen there a chain
Yeah, there is there a literal baby in this show
This baby is learning everything he needs to do about life right a second
Is there a teeny tiny baby that I just said vaginal discharge in front of?
We showed that teeny tiny baby a sex scene
and we've talked about vaginal discharge.
How old is the baby?
Oh yeah, now you're keeping your secrets.
Must be a pretty young baby if he refuses to answer.
One and a half?
One and a half.
One and a half, okay, that's too old.
If it was a tiny baby, I would like to hold the baby.
That baby doesn't even know how old it is.
If you brought a tiny baby, please bring it up here. I would like to hold it for the rest of the show.
Because I'm only going to say more horrible things, and it's only going to be funnier if I'm holding a baby.
Bring us your baby.
Andrew Dice Clay held the baby for the last six years of his act, during those nursery
ramps.
So he sees this thing for a great fuck call, looks around and changes it to Buick, like
he makes the F into a B, adds an I, and then changes the K into an H. Or no, no, yeah,
I don't know how you spell Buick.
No, doesn't.
Sorry, guys. Sorry. Wait aick. No doesn't. Sorry guys. Sorry.
For a second. No it doesn't change the K. Buick is right. I don't know why there
isn't a hilarious scene where one of those you know dirtbags that works at
the bar that probably wrote that answers his phone and goes for the 40th time I
don't have a Buick. That would's down his phone. That would be amazing.
It's Keith David's old phone number.
Yeah, that's his story line.
That was his old plot line.
No, that's not a Buick.
That's the excised story.
Oh man.
I have a couple clips.
I didn't know, just so you guys get a sense
of the villain that Patrick Swayze has to fight.
Um, I, I, baby. I want that baby. Do you like this baby?
Give me your baby. You brought it,
offer it as a sacrifice. This is,
this is how tough Ben Gazara is beating up his
gang. Alright, so here we go. Sorry.
You disgust me, O'Connor.
You wanna know why you disgust me?
No, why, boss?
Because you're a bleeder.
You bleed too much.
You are a messy bleeder.
Lots of dick punches in this movie.
You got no endurance for pain.
Your balls in the back of your neck bleed too much.
Check out that monster truck in the back.
You'll be fine, come on.
Look at his boots.
Well help him up!
You're gonna be fine.
And you know why?
Because I like you.
Oh!
Ha ha ha!
By the way, they're casually driving
that monster truck in that scene.
Like they just pull up to the house in a monster truck.
There is a scene later in the movie
where Patrick Swayze finishes work for the night,
comes out to the parking lot, there's no cars there,
but Kelly Lynch is standing there
provocatively next to her Jeep.
And they get in her Jeep and they drive away.
And the two dudes have been spying on them in the parking lot in a monster truck.
That's correct.
It is as if he walks out the door, there is a Jeep and a hot girl, and there's a monster
truck over there.
Giant, that giant monster truck. Which he ignores and is just like, well, here's my girl, and there's a monster truck over there. That giant monster truck.
Which he ignores, and it's just like,
well, here's my girl,
I guess I'm gonna raw dog her for a little while.
And then the bad guys are like,
hey, hey, hey, hey, we got you now.
Like, if you're gonna stake someone out,
don't do it in like the biggest,
in like a truck that is a two-story truck.
But they were, that monster truck is amazing.
The monster truck comes into play later on
when Ben Gozara starts treating the,
the town gets behind Dalton, obviously,
because Patrick Swayze is the best,
and then he's like, I got to teach him a lesson.
So he blows up an auto parts store,
and then he just lets a monster truck drive
through the showroom of a car dealership
and destroy every one of the cars.
There is no
law yeah, but in just in terms of his business plan to like he wants more money
from these establishments. He's destroying all of them like there's no
he wants everybody to stay in line. He's like you got to you got to pay me my
money and you got to stay in that because I destroy the blows up the auto
parts and oh there are explosions in this movie
Left and right.
that are so big that they literally are like,
it'll be like a little bit of an explosion.
It'll be like, oh no, everything's okay.
Oh no, no, Red's auto shop is on fire.
And then the place will blow up like Hiroshima.
Like it will be an enormous explosion.
And normally these are just like wood cabin kind of places that they're blowing up.
That they would not have this much, you wouldn't need that much to blow up these places.
Yeah.
But they are, like every place is a gas factory and it's like pfft.
Even at the end when Patrick Swayze lets his Mercedes loose, that blows up like a crazy thing too.
It ign ignite on fire
Lonnie Anderson's I call her like Bobo Lonnie Anderson. Oh, just back there is girlfriend
Yeah, oh she gets a classic 80s movie treatment in that she gets out of line
So she gets beat up a little just a little by the way
Swayze walks into his home and sees her there and sees that she's his girl, she's doing a workout.
Gazzara's girl.
Gazzara's girl, she's doing an 80s workout
and has clearly is a black eye,
but instead of turning her face,
she continues to look at Patrick Swayze
and just covers one eye.
Don't see it, you don't see it.
You don't see it now.
It's covered.
I feel like this is an era when it was like, oh no, we've got to tell people it's not cool
to hit ladies.
Because up until then, apparently it was.
I feel like people were just like, punching ladies is cool.
Well, I mean that's bossy.
Patrick's crazy.
He's going to step up and be like, uh-oh.
Well, and that's why too, though, that's why Kelly Whatserface is a doctor in the movie.
Because it's also like late 80s, early 90s counterpoint to all these, like,
who she's running around.
That baby agrees. Give me your baby.
I want that baby.
I'm coming to get it soon. You gotta cord this mic,
why don't you just go stand near it.
I'm gonna find that baby, you guys.
But the beat up girlfriend of Ben Guzzara
also does a strip tease in the middle of the movie
to reveal the biggest granny panties of all time.
They're so crazy.
They're granny panty thongs,
which is the wildest combination I ever did see.
So wide back, and then it gets real narrow
at the bottom, right?
Yeah, they're like white cotton panties.
It's unsettling how, especially,
because you know thongs exist because we've seen it earlier at the wet g-string
contest. So she should first of all she's the only person in this movie that I'm
convinced wears underwear. She is yeah that is for sure true if you're going to
wear underwear make it provocative her and the guy in tidy white is yeah. I see
him play. You only can wear underwear if it's weird.
Wait a second.
Maybe only the bad guys in this movie wear underwear.
That's what they're in need of.
Bad guys wear underwear.
Good guys just walk out.
Well, here's the thing, though, because both her
and the guy who pulls up his Tidy Whitey's
are wearing white underwear, which would tell me
they're good guys.
But that's the thing.
You don't have to be white, because Patrick Swayze's kind
of, you know, he's got a dark side.
But when we see Patrick Swayze,
when What's-Her-Name comes to bring him breakfast,
we see his bare butt,
and she basically comes when she sees it.
Oh, God.
He like gets out of bed,
and you see his butt,
and she's like,
ugh, ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Like, she like full-blown comes,
and then he's like,
here's some coffee.
And he puts jeans on, no underwear.
I was very excited that the final fight scene
where Patrick Swayze has to fight
like the main bad guy's henchman,
he was fighting a denim on top, denim on bottom bad guy.
Which is denim shirt, denim pants. And denim on bottom, bad guy. Which is denim shirt, denim pants.
And denim on bottom.
He, I wanted to show, this is just a classic scene.
Everyone knows her, has heard about the throat rip.
But there's a little moment before
that that's worthy of showing.
Here we go, take a look.
This is the big final fight.
Alright.
I used to fuck guys like in prison. big final fight. What?
What?
Little gun, baby gun.
You would think that ripping out his throat he wouldn't need a finishing move.
She's checking out.
Already dead.
Is the throat out?
Yeah, the throat's out.
This guy's gone.
Dirt's gone.
Already dead.
He kicked him into the water so that he would bleed out in the water.
It would take him minutes to die.
It would take him minutes to die. It would take him minutes to die.
She could have saved him.
She's a doctor.
Keep in mind, that character is a doctor.
I do like that the throat rip is his signature move.
Earlier in the movie, somebody's like,
I heard he killed a guy, he ripped his throat out.
Well, you knew that was coming later
when they set that up in the first five minutes.
We gotta see the throat rip.
But that's a crazy, brutal move.
And then he almost rips Gazara's throat out.
Yeah, he stares at his hand.
Ah!
He's like.
He's ready to go.
I wanna do this!
Should we, let's have the house at times.
That throat looks so good!
We can open up the, to some questions.
If you guys have any questions about things
that we haven't talked about.
We still have to talk about the grizzly bear.
Oh yeah.
Well you should ask the baby first.
Baby questions.
Baby has any questions.
For me, raise your hand if you have a question.
I wanted to know if you could talk about the irony
of Patrick Swayze always talking about how important
it is to be nice to everybody and just,
you know, he says that many times in the movie
and then just beats the shit out of everybody. Yeah that's true. He never doesn't get
into a fight. The three rules that he has is always be nice. Yeah. And well that's
one of the three that's the most important one and he is he's the most
violent dude in the entire town. He has like he's capable of like Wolverine level blind rage
Yes Where's that baby? We've got it. We've got baby Wolverine lights are on I'm gonna find you, baby
Don't you worry baby? I'm looking for you
Come coming for your baby wherever you are
Where's that baby? Where is this baby?
Where is over here? Where is your baby over here? Where is that baby? Where is this baby? Where is it? Baby's over here. Where is your baby? Baby's right over here.
Where is this baby?
Right here, right here, baby's on the aisle.
Give me your baby.
I'm so scared.
We're going over.
I see you, baby.
Very cute baby.
I'm so scared.
I see you, baby.
Oh my God, what a cute baby.
Don't ever date Ben Guzzara when you get older.
Do they ever explain how he got the skills
to beat the shit out of everybody?
Was there ever a backstory?
There's no backstory, right?
He seems to be- He's never not been a cooler.
He seems to be Sam Elliott's protege, right?
But there was a moment, though, where he was studying philosophy at NYU and then became
the most badass guy in the world.
Yeah, he doesn't have a kind of backstory that involves he was in the military or he
was blah blah blah.
He really just, Sam Elliott, the thing we haven't talked about
is Sam Elliott comes in like three quarters
of the way through the movie,
and as far as I'm concerned,
the true love story in this movie
is Swayze and Sam Elliott.
Because they hug and caress each other
to a degree that is shocking.
And by the way, you know when Sam Elliott's
about to throw down because he pulls his hair back in a scrunchie. Yeah
Yeah, also
The most awkward scene is basically you know so what Patrick Swayze is kind of into this girl
They've slept together
And then he introduces him to Sam Elliott and Sam Elliott kind of starts trying to take her away from Patrick Swayze
They have like a very sexy dance. Oh yeah.
And then he says something like,
as she's walking away, he says,
a woman shouldn't be that smart with that.
No, no, he says, she's got too much brains
to have that good of an ass.
Yes, but she's wearing a very blousy,
poofy pleated skirt.
There's just no way he could know that.
She's wearing, she is a Dr. Sallery.
She should get much better outfits.
Especially if you could.
And she's been, by the way, she's been up all night
and is going in to start her shift.
Yeah.
She goes, I need to take a quick nap.
Guess what I don't need on somebody
who's about to perform surgery on me?
That they've been raging all night with maniacs.
All right, what's your question?
All right, what's the better line?
Polar bear fell on me or pain don't hurt?
Ooh.
This guy is a fan.
Or he wrote the movie.
I will have to play this polar bear line.
My vote is the polar bear.
Because when else can you say a polar bear fell on me?
And by the way, it's also an amazing button
to a crazy scene.
This is the scene where, do you have the whole scene?
I just have the polar bear scene.
But you'll see what we're talking about.
Dalton is loose in the mansion,
and everybody, all the bad guys are looking for him.
And here is what happened.
This is the fattest, dumbest one. I hate this place.
He doesn't like scary animals.
I feel like my character would have tape
on a couple of his fingers.
Cause maybe he got hurt or something.
Gazara.
I may not have queued this up perfectly.
Oh, here. I think he did getued this up perfectly. Here we go.
Oh, here.
I think he did get his fingers smashed early.
Wait.
Okay, okay, okay.
Guys, that is not Dom DeLitte made for each other, then Patrick Slazer goes.
You guys are made for each other again, an insult that doesn't really pay off.
It's like does it get does anybody in fear make the
does has anybody ever made that noise? Well, that's a crazy moment too because
okay, so he says, I hate this place,
acknowledging that there are a lot of animals
who are dead here and stuffed.
So in that moment where he's shooting the polar bear,
does he genuinely think that polar bear's real?
I'm asking this genuinely, you guys, this is not a bit.
I'm asking, do you think he thinks
there's a polar bear
coming at me?
I do believe that because there is a by the way coming at is, but I couldn't
just do this.
Yeah,
why is he shooting him? He has three options stay completely still move to
the right, move to the left. He could have done either. He's good still
stood still and then she. And shoots at him.
And then there's a scene later on where he decides to,
because he does survive this,
he's not killed by the fake polar bear.
Spoiler alert.
Huge spoiler alert.
And then later on.
So that he can have a spinoff, we hope.
Fingers crossed.
And then later on, when he decides to join the good guys,
he looks at the stuffed monkeys
for a long time before he makes a decision. Well, the stuffed monkeys are in the position
of see no evil, hear no evil.
Did you see that?
I didn't realize that.
I didn't realize that.
I'm off that.
The sheriff comes and says, what happened here?
By the way, the first time you see the cops
is after Ben Guzzara is brutally murdered in his own house.
Probably the only time not in public a person is killed.
This is what happens, like it's the end of the movie and Patrick Swayze, Ben
Guzzara has Patrick Swayze dead to rights with a gun.
I have it, I can play it right?
Oh you can, okay.
Here we go.
It's all left!
These are the townsfolk whose businesses he's been ruining.
That guy's weird.
The guy's still stuck behind the polar bear.
You'll see him in a second.
This is our town, and don't you forget it.
What? Still stuck. That was it. And then basically the cops come in. So then the cops come in and say, what happens here? And all the townspeople are like, and it's intense, right?
Because they just murdered him and cold blood.
And everybody says, I didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything.
And then trapped under polar bear goes, I was trapped under a pale polar bear fella.
And then the cops come in and say, what happened here?
And all the townspeople are like, and it's intense, right?
Because they just murdered him and cold blood.
And everybody says, I didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything.
And then trapped under polar bear goes, I was trapped under a pale polar bear fella.
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here?
And then the cops come in and say, what happens here? And then the cops come in and say, what happens here? And then the cops come in and say, what happens here? And then the cops come in and say, what happens here? And then the cops come in and say, intense, right? Because I just murdered him in cold blood, and everybody says, I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything.
And then Trapped Under Polar Bear goes,
I was trapped under a pale polar bear fell on me.
And everybody goes, ha ha ha ha.
Everybody laughs.
They're a dead man.
They are murderers.
They are murderers.
But did they call the cops?
No.
Who called them?
I don't know, but this is also the first time the cops have shown up to anything.
Yeah.
And they come in force, the sheriff of companies.
Well the police, I mean the fire department did show up when Red's auto shop blew up.
Yes, they came.
That was the only time you saw any federal involvement in this town.
Any other questions?
Yeah, okay, this question over here. So, one of the bouncers,
didn't it look like they were letting in underage
patrons in the bar?
And wasn't that the same guy that was like,
God, like having sex?
Well, that's the girl.
He let in the girl with a Sears card.
He says, this is a Sears card,
and then he lets them in,
and then he plows her in the storage.
Sure.
Yeah, and she's probably like,
I mean, under 18.
She's probably 16 years old.
He is not wearing a condom.
Guys, it doesn't matter.
When you're under 18, you can't get any diseases.
That's true.
That's right, because the female body
has a way of shutting that down.
That's true.
That is true.
I mean, it's been getting a lot of attention lately.
Right, guys?
It's right there, yeah.
That's what I've heard. Yeah, it's totally cool.
It's totally cool.
It's called legitimating.
She can't get pregnant.
Let's see, I'm going to go around.
Yeah, what's your question?
If this movie was remade today,
who would replace Patrick Swayze?
Ooh, good question.
That's such a good question.
Wow.
Guys, let's all fucking think about this for a second.
Who could replace Patrick Swayze?
I don't have to think about it for very long.
Statham is pretty good, but a little on the nose.
Liam Neeson would be the Sam Elliott character.
Liam Neeson.
Yeah, Liam Neeson, yeah, you're right.
Would be the Sam Elliott.
He could play Patrick Swayze's dad, Liam Neeson.
Zac Efron.
Zac Efron.
Zac Efron.
Really?
Shame on you.
Shame on you.
Zac Efron.
Oh, I got it. Zac Efron. Zac Efron. Zac Efron. Zac Efron. Really? Shame on you.
Shame on you.
Zac Efron.
Oh, I got it.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
It's not a Nicholas Sparks novel, ladies.
Channing Tatum.
Channing Tatum, yeah.
Channing Tatum.
Channing Tatum, Liam Neeson, let's do this.
Guys.
Holy shit, that's a fucking home run movie.
I would see that movie in a heartbeat remake that Joe Carnahan to direct it
Okay, and then it would be Benga's era the gray and there's a wolf just cuz
There's a question. Oh wait Clint Eastwood should be Benga's era. Oh
It always comes to this time where obviously we had an opinion about this movie that it's awesome and
And other people also agree. These are reviews that were culled from Amazon.
It's time for a second opinion.
These are second opinions.
From top to bottom, crazy movies are fun.
These are great reviews, five-star reviews on Amazon about Roadhouse.
Here it goes.
This is the greatest movie I own.
It has everything you could ever want.
Fighting, boozing, strippers,
blowed up buildings and a monster truck.
Plus, there's a character who gets his throat
ripped out by a sweaty Patrick Swayze.
Five stars.
That criteria is never matched in any other movie.
If those are the only things that he wants,
that not looking up.
This one is a great one.
It sneaks up on you like an STD.
And you don't know you have it until you really have it.
And you don't know you have it until you really have it.
From Swayze's peacock mullet to his greased up body doing slow mo kung fu moves.
This movie is art for artists.
Then these are just like little ones that I liked in here too.
Make no mistake about it.
This is about violence, not dancing or romance.
Some scenes are, all caps, very sexy.
Especially in the back of the bar when they're on break.
He spells break B-R-A-K-E.
If you know what I mean.
Okay, Sharp Marble writes,
a classic guys movie that has parts for gals too.
June, did it have parts for gals? It had a few parts for
gals. I also thought it was really weird that
Patrick Swayze falls in love with Kelly Lynch's character whose name is
Elizabeth but only calls her Doc for the whole movie. Yeah. So he's like listen
Doc you got to get out of here. Like what? Did anyone else notice too when we're first
introduced to her she has on glasses and her hairs like pulled back in a French braid.
When she goes out on her first date with Swayze, she styles her hair in like Swayze bangs.
Yep.
Did you notice that?
And never wears her glasses ever again.
And they were amazing. I thought that was her best look.
Oh, absolutely.
Well, she's got to wear those glasses to show everybody at work that she's really smart.
Super smart.
I believed it.
I mean, look at that. She works on an X-ray machine that I've never seen before,
too, like an automated X-ray.
She's like, oh, she's in there doing X-rays.
I don't know what she's looking at,
but she's looking at a ton of X-rays.
A ton of X-rays at once.
Yeah.
It's almost like a rotating thing of X-rays.
Oh, I've got to examine all these people's X-rays
all together.
All right, so I think we covered everything.
This is the Mount Everest of bad movies.
It's not a bad movie, it's a great movie,
executed amazingly.
Oh, this movie, we do movies that I would never
recommend people watch, The Last Airbender.
And this is one everybody should leave currently
and watch immediately.
This goes up in the pantheon of Fast Five, Crank Two, and Roadhouse.
They are the must-owns of the How Did This Get Made collection.
They are amazing.
