The original movie was so cheesy I was surprised the main villain didn't tie the gal to the train tracks while running off with a big bag with dollar signs on it.
Loved Patrick Swayze and of course Sam Elliots mustache was also in the movie so at least there's that.

Lol!
I know people always reference the original, but I didn't remember much about it. We rewatched it a while back. The cheesiness of it was fun. Isn't there a debate about whether or not that was deliberate?

Hard to say, and don't get me wrong...a cheesy nostalgic favorite can be awesome, we all like different things.

I loved Sam Elliot in Roadhouse and Mask, I wish they still made just a good old entertaining movie. Everything these days is selling something. I'd much rather watch a 80's / 90's movie than a new movie today.
I'm a big Patrick Swayze fan and just saw where they were remaking Roadhouse so had to take a peak at the trailer. Lots of changes for sure and while I think Jake Gyllenhaal holds his own - just not the same.
I agree Jake Gyllenhaal does hold his own but just not the same. The remake is really for the younger generation. No one can or should remake Patrick. I think this would be better being called by a different name and with the changes it will not be a remake of Roadhouse and should not be anyway IMO nor should it be called Roadhouse.

Yeah, but that's all he is these days. Sorry to get off-topic but remember when he was known for compelling performances in thought-provoking films? The last decent movie that he was in was Nocturnal Animals in 2016.
He's now that actor who, when I hear he's in a movie, I don't want to see that movie because I know it won't be good.
The original co-starred Sam Elliott, the re-make has Conor McGregor. No, just no.
^^^^ this is spot on!
