Enjoying Road House should be no one's guilty pleasure. Enjoying Road House is like enjoying The Godfather, Star Wars, or King freakin' Lear. I absolutely REFUSE to apologize for it.
Road House is very much an '80s take on the classic western. Stranger comes to town, sees how it's being run into the ground by the local robber-baron, does something about it, then rides off.
