Truly great movie. There is violence action, cars, fighting, music and sexy chicks who put out. The women are satisfied by men and men are satisfied by women and there is lots of eye candy. Sure, there isn't a heathen god coming down on earth and doing flip flops and jumping jack squats but if you can forgive that (hahahaha) perfect move that even includes a strip tease from a thin woman.

I'm not the biggest fan of Swayze, but just knowing this was such an iconic movie from the 80s, one you find references to even to this day, I guess I just thought it would be something more than what it was. In terms of plot and characters, all I can say is everything is just stale, or cliché. It's hard to take anything in this movie seriously. There's no one who is particularly likable, at one point Swayze rips a guy's throat out in front of the dude's girlfriend and it just left a bad taste in my mouth. There's better Swayze movies, there's definitely better 80s action movies, I'd say you could probably pass on this one if you're looking for either one of those.

I'm not going to write about the plot. I'm not going to write about the characters. I'm not going to write about the meaning of this film. I'm just going to list (in no particular order) the things that makes this piece of trash art one of the greatest so bad it's so good movies of all time. 1- Patrick Swayze's mullet. 2- Ben Gazzara (God bless him). 3- The Jeff Healy Band. 4- The singing waitress(she's hot, even with that ridiculous haircut). 5- Jimmy's girl. 6- Dalton being a cooler and having a PhD in Philosophy. 7- Dalton's speech. 8- The Bigfoot truck. 9- "Pain don't hurt". 10- Kelly Lynch (The real reason why you should check out this turd)There are other reasons, but I'm too lazy to write them down. Anyway, if you happen to find this movie on TV (and believe me, you'll find it), make yourself a favor and watch it. Better watch it with a cold one, because when Kelly Lynch appears, the temperature in your house will get VERY HOT

The filmmakers aimed this one squarely at their audience: women, do you like staring breathlessly at Patrick Swayze, and men, do you like watching Patrick Swayze win loads of bar fights? That's pretty clearly what was in their mind when they wrote it and made it.If you're a yes, sit back and you'll get two hours of solid entertainment led by a story that's was as old as the 80s were when they wrote it. If you're a no, there's nothing at all in it besides Patrick so find something else to do.Bear in mind that Patrick doesn't do anything wrong here - he does what he's paid to do, which is be sultry and 'the best', and he does it very, very well. No wonder he made the film and no wonder Patrick's fans, mostly female, were delighted with what they got given.
