With Jake Gyllenhaal currently shooting a remake, Vinegar Syndrome has announced that it is bringing the original Patrick Swayze action classic Road House to 4K Ultra HD with a package featuring an all-new restoration, making-of documentary, a whole host of bonus features and extras all housed in a custom-designed hard box featuring exclusive artwork; check out the details below…
Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing, Ghost), Kelly Lynch (Drugstore Cowboy), Sam Elliott (Tombstone, The Big Lewbowski), and Ben Gazzara (The Killing of a Chinese Bookie) headline an all-star cast in director Rowdy Herrington’s blockbuster turned cult classic, ROAD HOUSE.
James Dalton is a tough-as-nails bouncer with a reputation for using any and all force necessary to “keep the peace.” Meanwhile, Frank Tilghman, a country businessman, is having trouble maintaining control over the violent patrons and crooked staff at his newly acquired club, the Double Deuce. Upon learning of Dalton’s take-no-prisoners attitude toward security, he makes a proposal too good for Dalton to refuse; summoning him from The Big Apple to Jasper, MO and handing him the reins to the bar, on the promise that he clean the place up. But no sooner than his first few days in charge does he wind up stabbed and in the hospital. With the knowledge that he’s up against a gang of thugs who play even dirtier than he does, Dalton throws caution to the wind and prepares for a fight that will inevitably send someone six feet under…
