This movie is an American treasure. I can't believe it's 30-years-old already. it has it all: bar fights, karate, knife throwing, shootouts, explosions, a monster truck demolition, and some lovely bare asses. Patrick Swayze was great as always, but Sam Elliot never looked better than in this film. One of the huge highlights also is the soundtrack by the Jeff Healey band playing as the Double Deuce's house band (RIP). I wish I could have seen Jeff Healey play live. The villain is two dimensional of course, but the way the town gets its comeuppance on him is one of the most satisfying endings in a movie for me. 9/10    And for anyone not familiar with Jeff Healey's blues rock. Watching him play guitar blind is pretty awesome. |

"I used to fuck guys like you in prison!" It was ahead of its era in that regard. |

I've seen it plenty of times, but I recently discovered two bits of trivia.
At the beginning I noticed Tito Larriva as the singer in the first bar where Dalton was working. Larriva went on to form 'Tito & Tarantula' and they're prominently featured in Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn. I've become a fan of Tito's music.
Also near the beginning there's a very short scene where Cody is sitting at the bar with a pretty blonde. She's listed in the cast as Cody's girlfriend. That's Terri Lynn Doss who was Playboy's Playmate of the Month in July, 1988. She looks similar to the blonde who does a striptease on the stage, but that's not her.

It's main catchphrase -- one which I used frequently when I was employed in a public high school - is "My way or the highway."
It always got a laugh from the kids I used it on. That's how effective it was for me.

It's an 80s classic, no doubt about that.

MST3K loved to reference this movie.
I was fond of it, mostly because of blind guitar player Jeff Healey, one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived.

them1ghtyhumphNo need to be sarcastic. I just like posting that kind of random stat stuff as it gives people perspective on how much I like a movie etc.

One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. It's loosely based on a series of true events in a rural Missouri town where a local strongman/bully was killed by several townspeople. When the crime was being investigated, everybody in the town claimed they knew nothing, and no one was ever arrested for the murder.

Super fun, entertaining movie with endless re-watchability. Great cast, tons of quotable lines. They just don't make action movies like that anymore and it's a damn shame. "When you project weakness, you draw aggression."

Toasted CheeseLike it said, it gives people perspective on how much I like a movie. because some people might hand out a ton of 7/10's so when someone else gives out a 7/10 it might not mean that much where as when I do it means more because only a small amount managed to hit a 7/10 or higher from me. basically it tells those seeing my ratings how much I like a particular movie. sure, it won't change what they think of it or what I think of it but at least it tells them that much in that a movie is special for me on a 7/10 where as some people around here a 7/10 might be a pretty common rating. that's pretty much why I mentioned what I do. either way, if someone don't like reading that stuff they can simply skip over it.

I've seen this play a lot on cable TV lately. Either on Sundance or one of the Encore movie channels.
