TheLeon Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It’s been forever since I’ve seen Road House. I honestly don’t know if I’ve even seen it all, or just parts of it on cable. But I would love to see a movie with Gyllenaal as a bouncer, especially if he brought some intense Nightcrawler energy and got real weird with it.

Lol I don't see how it does, but I'd love for them to try. One hill to die on is he says 'guys' and not the other F-word, so it's not necessarily homophobic.... But it probably is.

Keyser_Soze Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Arguably it's homophobic to leave the line out because he says guys. There's nothing wrong with fucking guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically saying the guys he fucked and by extension Dalton, are lesser and unmanly because they are getting fucked and Dalton is like them because he's weak. They're weak which is what the line implies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Keep in mind that when this movie comes out, it will completely erase every instance of the previous movie. That film will cease to exist, as is the sad fate of every movie that gets remade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm certain that I have never seen the full movie, maybe just bits and pieces. That line would've stuck with me. On a somewhat related topic, when my daughter hurts herself, minorly, I'll tell her she's ok because 'Pain don't hurt'! She then repeats it in a deeper voice, with like a pirate arm swing. It's adorable, but I didn't even know that was a 'Roadhouse' line until I saw an episode of 'Mike and Molly'. Molly's sister (Mom from 'American Housewife'. Forgot her name.) was dating a nice, sophisticated guy that everyone liked. In one scene, Molly made a comment about Mike thinking 'Roadhouse' was fine cinema. Molly's sister's boyfriend said 'Oh, I love that movie. 'Pain don't hurt.'' And Molly said something along the lines of 'Oh, he even quotes 'Roadhouse''. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no part of Ronda Rousey acting in anything is a good idea, at all. This is the worst opinion. Trained actor>UFC Fighter every single time. Gyllenhaal looks great in the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 Yeah I'm curious about the take they're going with... I'm assuming that scene takes place early in the movie or is part of Dalton's backstory in this as he comes across as kind of douchey during the face off. I'm also a little concerned that this movie may lean a little too much into the dude-bro, chud side of MMA. Hopefully they don't change the fact that Dalton in the original was pretty well educated and was dare I say, "woke" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 So the director will be boycotting the premiere due to Amazon opting to put it immediately on streaming without a theater release, good for him & I hope Jake is able to follow suit.

Greatoneshere Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I stopped watching the trailer halfway through. Was giving away way too much. Looked solid though. Director Doug Liman sometimes knocks it out of the park and sometimes . . . doesn't. Good/Great Doug Liman: -Swingers -Go -The Bourne Identity -Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie) -Fair Game -Edge of Tomorrow -American Made Bad/Mediocre Doug Liman: -Jumper -The Wall -Locked Down -Chaos Walking I have hope for this movie with Liman at the helm but it's not a great sign that three of his last four films have been bad (American Made is great, but The Wall, Locked Down, and Chaos Walking, yikes). I hope he's still got it, American Made came out all the way back in 2017. He was crushing it before then though. Now Liman is just a director, and has worked with a different screenwriter (more or less) for each one of his films, so I imagine some of these movies just had screenplays so bad he couldn't elevate them, especially lately.
