Road House (Cast of 1989) THEN and NOW - Updated in 2022

Hi there, and welcome to The Rewind Zone. In today's video, we look back at the cast of the 1989 action film, Road House. With a budget of $15 million, the film went on to gross over $61 million at the box office. We'll revisit the stars of the movie and update them as of 2022.

Road House is a 1989 American action film directed by Rowdy Herrington and starring Patrick Swayze as a cooler at a newly refurbished roadside bar who protects a small town in Missouri from a corrupt businessman. Sam Elliott co-stars as a bouncer, the mentor, friend, and foil of Swayze's character. The cast also includes Kelly Lynch as Swayze's love interest and Ben Gazzara as the main antagonist.

Filming started in April 1988 on location throughout California, primarily in Newhall, Valencia, and Canyon Country. The filming of much of the "New Double Deuce" used Anaheim's Cowboy bar, also later called the Bandstand among other names until it closed. The opening and monster truck scenes were filmed in Reedley, California. The Kings River runs between the two residences. The monster truck used was Bigfoot #7, which was originally built for the film. The scene cost $500,000 to film.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Road House has a rating of 40% based on 45 reviews and has an average rating of 5.3

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 21⁄2 out of 4 stars and commented, "Road House exists right on the edge between the 'good-bad movie' and the merely bad. I hesitate to recommend it, because so much depends on the ironic vision of the viewer. This is not a good movie. But viewed in the right frame of mind, it is not a boring one, either."
