One of the fired bartenders- the one who is caught pocketing money- is John Doe from the LA punk band X.  -Thanks to CemThis film is referenced in "Point Break" by Keanu Reeves' chararacter who says that, after following him all day, Bodhi (Swayze) dropped by "Patrick's Roadhouse". But John wrote in to point out that there is another possibility... Patrick's is a small restaurant on the PCH in Malibu, CA. -Thanks to Steve"Ketchum", one of the thugs who walks into the bar, is played by actor Anthony De Longis. He plays the guy with the blade in the boot! I believe he is in real life an expert at stage fighting, and had a school in Los Angeles. -Thanks to Mike HelfieldThe trailer contained a lot of footage that wasn't in the movie which was obviously excised before release. It would appear that the original script was even more philosophically inclined and the studio leaned more toward a straight action flick in the editing room. Swayze seems to like a bit of philosophy in his movies, which is why he may have been drawn to this role. Swayze's mom is Patsy Swayze, a choreographer whose resume includes credits on the films "Urban Cowboy" and "Thelma & Louise", in addition to being the creator of Houston Jazz Ballet Company. Swayze's dad Jesse, who died in 1982, made a living in the less glamourous but important field of engineering. If "pain don't hurt" then why was Dalton wincing so badly after being shot ? When Dalton gets shot he may wince but that is because he was unprepared for it. When he gets stapled (where he says 'pain don't hurt'), he is prepared for it and can control his body's response to the pain. I myself can do this to a certain extent and it is a talent that people who have 'aspestos hands' can do, although they don't normally know that this is what they are doing. -Thanks to Jon GibsonWrestler cameo: Terry Funk as one of the dumb bouncers. Jeff Healey now owns a bar in the Toronto area. He plays there from time to time. -Thanks to DubieIn the beginning band sequence, the drummer of the band is actually the late, great Randy Castillo, drummer for Ozzy Ozbourne from 1985 to 1993. -Thanks to Randy« Click here to add some Road House trivia  Find much more great trivia in the filmmaker's commentary on the Road House DVD.Rediscover your favorites!

 Featured Movie Location: the town of 'Jasper'Wanna see the real life filming location used for the town of 'Jasper' in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at the town of Valencia, located in Valencia, S. California. [New! Show Google Map] The club in the opening scene - The Bandstand - in which Dalton was hired from was not located in Atlanta but was located in Anaheim, CA. The club is still in operation today and is now called the Cowboy Boogie. The same club was used as the location for Sam Eliott's character's strip club where he was working, prior to signing on to help Dalton. I was the sound engineer at the Bandstand at that time and worked on the movie. [Thanks to Robert Frost] The diner scene was filmed in Santa Clarita at a place known as the "The Office". The scene where Dalton dodges the the man driving wildly while listening to music in his red mustang was shot outside of Westlake village CA in hidden valley, on potrero road. I live in a ranch estate here in hidden valley and I noticed one of our barns in the background of the shot, also some of the random shots look like they could have been filmed in hidden valley as well. [Thanks to Alex] Can you help? Do you know any of the Valencia, S. California (or any other) filming locations used for Road House, particularly The road house, the town, Dawsons's apt?

Decent combination of classic tunes and some great performances from The Jeff Healey Band who also appear in the movie. If you have never heard Healey and his ungodly talents, then this should prove a perfect introduction. Bear in mind that he is blind and is performing those solos with the guitar flat on his knee (??!!). It is also notable for Healey's cover of the Bob Dylan tune 'When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky.' You should trip on excess stock upon entering any music store. The first track in the movie is "Don't Throw Stones" which is being performed "live" during Dalton's first bar fight. If this song sounds familiar, it's because it is being perormed by Tito Larriva, who did much of the music in Tarrantino's "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1997). In one version of the movie The Jeff Healey Band plays "Angel Eyes" while Swayze and Lynch dance at the bar. It's a touching scene. Everytime I've seen it since this song/scene is not in the movie. I even bought it on VHS and it is not on it. I wonder why? -Thanks to Kimberly« Click here to add new music trivia for Road House Soundtrack Available: On CD | |||||||||||||||||||||||
