How well do you remember the '80s hit, Road House?

The bartender really was the nephew of bad guy Wesley, but that's not why he was fired.

He impresses her with tough-guy lines like "Pain don't hurt."

Late in the film, Dalton sends one of Wesley's dead henchman floating back across to his boss.

Pete, like Red, had refused to pay his protection money.

The killing was part of a love triangle; Dalton didn't know his girlfriend was actually married.

Disclaimer: Swayze wins every fight in the movie (though he needs Wade's help with one).

Wesley spooks them by flying low with his helicopter.

Oddly, in the diner scene, Dalton says "I'd better take you back," but Elizabeth is then seen to be driving.

Nonetheless, he drives the Mercedes to the Double Deuce his first night there.

This happens in Wesley's "trophy room," full of preserved animals he's killed.

Wesley does buzz livestock and drive drunk, but that's not the biggest problem Dalton has with him.

Appropriate, as in the late 80s, Patrick Swayze was the coolest.

The Mercedes, which Dalton took such good care of, is well and thoroughly trashed in this scene.

It's James, if you're keeping score.

Red is her uncle; her picture hangs in his auto-parts store.

Elizabeth sees Jimmy's fatal wound and recoils from Dalton.

Dalton also likes to move around a lot.

The note is better described as "stabbed" to Wade's chest, with the knife that killed him.

He and Elizabeth listen to the radio and sway a little to the music, but they don't actually dance.

"Road House" was actually filmed mostly in inland California.

The vigilante-style killing resembled a real-life Missouri murder that was never solved.

"The Butterscotch Stallion" was a mercifully-brief celeb-magazine nickname for Owen Wilson.

"Until it's time to not be nice," Dalton adds.

Dalton's long-term car is a Mercedes, but he doesn't always drive it.

The director wanted the audience to see Dalton doing everyday things.

Healey, a well-known Canadian musician, died in 2008.

The ending implies that the nomadic Dalton might be settling down at last.

The "new" Double Deuce scenes were filmed at a club in Anaheim; the old one was just a set.

Maybe he gets credit for saying things like "Pain doesn't hurt" and "Nobody ever wins a fight."

This is a minor motif in Swayze's career -- his "Point Break" became "Point Break Live!" an audience-participation theater piece.

Swayze's decision not to return for the second film presumably required him to be written out of the script in an interesting way.

Harrison was a revered Western poet and critic.

Ironically, given how bad Wade's language is in "Road House", Elliott's character famously says, "Do you have to use so many cuss words?"

Whether a reboot could attain the same cult status remains to be seen.

Not sure the re-casting helped ... Variety magazine found the Lynch-Swayze pairing lacking in chemistry as well.
