Alright...so who's gonna watch it???

[CAJUNLAWYER]

The new 2024 version of Roadhouse is set to premiere on Prime March 21st.
I watched the trailer and think I'll pass for the time being. Ultimately it will come up somewhere and I WILL watch it, but after seeing the trailer, ...meh. You just will not get any better than Patrick Swayze's immortal line "Pain don't hurt" no matter what you put in a movie.
And how in the hell can you remake this movie without even a cameo from Sam Elliot????

I'd rather be waterboarded in a power substation.

I guess it's worthy of a watch just on the merits. If for no other reason to make the obvious comparison to the original. The entire cast of the Swayze original was such a good fit to the story line. Not many blind rockers to take Jeff Healey's spot. I'll know within a few minutes if I'll make it to the finish or not.

Without a doubt Roadhouse has a large cult following. I agree with you and think this will be a big flop. Unfortunately do-overs/remakes are the norm, these writers/producers have no imagination and just rehash old things. Normally a big waste of time!

Assuming they use the character list I wonder who will get the role of playing the beautiful Denise the "friend" of Brad Wesely!

The original was (maybe) worth watching one time. Years ago it would have rightfully been categorized as a "B" movie.

If Taylor Swift isn't in it, count me out.

The original was great. The new one doesn't look that good to me but don't discount a good remake. I am one of those that think Jeff Bridges "True Grit" was better then John Wayne's.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

The original is pretty good!
Every actor seems to be near perfect for their role.
Well, maybe the Lady Doc is just a little too Foxy!

The original is one of my wife's favorites. I have no explanation why. To me, it seemed like a parody of something, but I can't say what.

I thought the original was cheesy . Zero interest in a remake .

I’ll agree with you on that.

I’m thinking this Roadhouse remake will be about as good as the Walking Tall remake. Dwayne Johnson and Johnny Knoxville? Really?

I think she is replacing Jeff Healy.

Count me in. Jeff Bridges was better than Wayne and the Cohen brothers did a better job with the Portis novel. One of the very few remakes that was better than the original.

How about Papillion? Steve McQueen or Charley Hunnam? (I think I know the answer.)

 

[LVSteve]

I didn't like the original, it's just a stupid thug movie, so why would I watch a remake?

After watching both, I'd call neither a very good western, but tastes vary considerably.

 

[S42N8]

So many things on the Hulu, Netflix, etc. watchlists that this will have to wait. John Wick 4 is next up.

 

[djohns6]

All the women swooned over Patrick Swayze but he really wasn't a good actor .

….Sneaky

 

[jeffrefrig]

The original was too corny. Not the acting, just the whole plot in general; very predictable.

Terry Funk died so they’ll have to replace him with a current pretty boy wrestler. Funk just had the redneck outlaw look.
