There are few action movies so quintessentially 80s as Road House. With his feathered hair, skin tight jeans, and kung fu skills, Patrick Swayze’s Dalton became a cinematic icon for bar bouncers everywhere.
Attempts to turn the film into a franchise, however, have been far less successful. A direct to video sequel back in 2006 has found a home in Goodwill bargain bins everywhere, and a 2015 announcement of a remake starring former UFC star Ronda Rousey gratefully died in pre-production.
Still, amid the current climate of reboots and sequels, it’s of little surprise that Hollywood would take another crack at bringing Dalton back to the big screen.
