The 1980s ushered in a new type of action movie. While the minor details changed from film to film, the formula remained the same: larger-than-life characters entering difficult situations where they must punch, kick, and kill their way out of trouble. These movies frequently featured over-the-top, sometimes borderline ridiculous, action sequences intertwined with cheesy, hilarious dialogue.
A film that perfectly represents this style of action filmmaking is “Road House,” a quintessential ‘80s movie that has a reboot dropping on Prime Video this week.
