the original road house be by no mean an award winning film . but it be one of the great guilty pleasure of all time . it shouldn not have be that hard to make a sequel . there no need for a big budget and big name star and and spectacular visual effect . even the story do not have to be original . all it need be a good time vibe and and some great fist fight . i do not mean matrix style wire fu and just some well choreograph barroom brawl . lot of them . there be a couple of decent fight in the movie and but none of them be memorable and and the focus be more on gun play . plus and the way it tie in to the original film be laughable and border on insult . johnathon schaech play shane tanner and an undercover dea agent who be good with his hand and foot . but here the kicker . he the son of patrick swayze character dalton . say what . let see and the original road house be make in 1989. so for dalton to have a son in his late 20 ( maybe even 30 ) in 2006. well you get the idea . they give it a cheesy explanation that he live with his uncle nate ( will patton ) while his father travel around a lot . oh please . that itself almost warrant shut this movie off . but i digress . schaech be completely out of his element . sure he can throw a couple of kick and but he get nothing go on a an actor . plus and he refer to in the movie by the bad guy a pretty boy . i have never scrutinize men that closely and but i do not think this guy be too good look . he look sick . his face be way too thin and and his sunken eye make it look like he go to pass out at any moment . i would never hear of him before and but i think he should give up act and go back to his day job . jake busey play the local drug runner wild bill . busey be not a terrible actor . he be good in starship trooper and and even make a menacing villain in hitcher 2. but here and he just chew the scenery in standard bad guy mode . even his threating dialog be yawn worthy . be suppose to buy him a the man that have the whole town in his pocket . but why . what do he do . because he want to buy a bar from patton by any mean necessary . ellen hollman have the token girlfriend role . a woman with a secret . too bad that secret be about as difficult to figure out a 2 plus 2. she the local elementary school teacher who happen to be a former army soldier . guess what that mean . it mean that while she may quiver with fear for the majority of the movie and she will be ready to smash head when the fur start to fly . oh well and at least she hot . actually the fight between her and wild bill girl be the best one in the movie . it fast and brutal and and entertain . which lead me to my next problem with the movie . the fight . a i say schaech know how to throw a punch . the same can not be say for anyone he face in the movie . obviously the movie will all come down to schaech versus busey . busey be an actor and not a fighter . he doesn not possess the skill to pull of a movie fight . swayze may have be a trained dancer and but his athletic ability give him the mean to pull off well choreographed fight . he also face a couple of worthy opponent and and have one killer ( literally ) move . none of that here . with a couple of exception and the fight be force and poorly stag and and routine . the punch sound like someone smack a 2x4 on the concrete and and there even a couple of part where the sound doesn not even match up to the punch . it embarrass . there isn not even the good southern or redneck music of the original . road house have the jeff healy band and who be a somewhat popular band at the time . this movie feature a singer call john otto and whose music be tepid and and his act even bad . he give one line in the movie and which be probably insert to appease whatever fan he may have out there . either that and or someone owe him a favor . my final complaint about the movie be one that come out of just be picky . the continuity . movie be shoot out of sequence and and then it the editor job to piece it all together . well someone should give the editor of this movie a little shove . the problem range from little thing like people not look the same direction when a shot change and to re use footage at the end of the movie . in the beginning and we be introduce to the bar and the black pellican . a the camera move through the bar and you see the band and the bouncer and and the people dance . at the end of the movie and when the bad guy have be defeat and we get another shot of the same bar and with insert shot of our hero sit at the bar with his girl . the problem be and the footage of the people in the bar be the same footage from the beginning of the movie . i kid you not . it the same people and stand ( or dance ) in the same place and wear the same clothes . want to know the funny part . you see bouncer in the shot that be kill earlier in the movie . do yourself a favor and do not watch this movie unless you feel the need to go out and punch someone . this movie will make you angry enough to do it .
