Little things in the movie that make you laugh?


1. The way the fat bouncer begins to leap over the bar (?!) after yelling "Jesus Christ!"
2. The way the waitress leads Jeff Healey out after Wade Garrett shows up. He can't see the aftermath off the fight, and he can't contribute in any other way to say: "Gentlemen, Wade Garrett!"
3. Brad Wesley randomly three-wheeling on his lawn.
4. "Dig a hole."

"You're a bleeder"

"It's MY way or the highway!" (that's a wonderfully original concept there, Dalton.)

Brad Wesley driving all over the road singing, runs Dalton off the road, looks in his mirror, smiles and finishes the song. LOL always cracks me up!

Jimmy pointing his pool stick at all the bouncers then the fat bouncer gives Dalton that funny look for permission to take care of Jimmy.

Morgan telling Wade Garret "Mind your own business Dad"

When Dalton catches Steve in the back room with that girl, fires him and Steve says "But I'm on my break" Dalton replies "Stay on it"

The stop sign smashed through Dalton's windshield and he tells Doc its from his fan club. It was such a funny sight and it doesn't even bother Dalton cause he's so use to that stuff.

reply

When Dalton takes Wade on a mystery car ride and wont tell him where they are going. Pulls up at hospital and out comes blondie

Wade: I f'in knew it.

If you stand still while wearing a boot with a razor blade in it, the blade will just randomly shimmer.

reply

Red recommending to Dalton that he'd be better of scrapping his Buick Riviera (not sure if it was his '64 or the '65 he bought later) than coming up with the scratch for a new windshield.

reply

I always laugh when Dalton makes an ultra quick head movement to tell another bouncer to go and take care of something.

reply

(after fight) "The name is 'Dalton'"
Camera zooms in on Brad's ugly girlfriend with drool on her chin.

GO SEAHAWKS! WORLD CHAMPIONS!

reply

The look on Wesley's face immediately following the line "there's no amount of money...."

Awesome.

reply

I know it's been mentioned before, but when Jimmy tells Daulton that he's F**'ed guys like him in prison. When my son saw that he said "Daulton should have told Jimmy, that's pretty g**y.

reply

The way Jimmy laughs when he's driving away on his motorcycle after burning Dalton's landlord's house down.

The way Wesley's eyes look like their going to roll back into his head when he's fighting Dalton near the end.

When Wade is dancing with the Doc, Dalton tells her anything Wade says is a lie.

reply

When Dalton's Benz explodes in mid-air after getting hit with a few shotgun shells. Also, three of the greatest lines in cinema history:

"You're too STUPID to have a good time!"
"I used to *beep* guys like you in prison!"
"I see you found my trophy room, Dalton. The only thing missing...is your ASS!" 

reply

I always thought it was funny that O'Conner called Dalton "Son" when he is only six months older than him.

reply

Brad Wesley after the fire. "play something Elvis" to Jeff Healey. Then "And bring those firemen in here I want to buy them a drink". Then says something about him dodging the draft. Love seeing it.

Also Morgan telling Wade "Mind your own business Dad" when Terry Funk is a couple months older than Sam Elliot.

reply

I always laugh how Dalton *beep* on his bosses parade. For example, after the first night with Dalton as the new cooler the boss exclaims " It was a good night nobody died" and Dalton looks him dead pan in the face and says "It will get worse before it gets better" and at the meeting at Red's house his boss says happily something like " Brad Weasely was scared of you last night" and Dalton once again looks at him and says "no he wasn't". I mean christ Dalton is too much to give your boss a little hope?

reply

Wesley getting his licks in on Dalton at the end always cracks me up. For a moment Dalton is almost in trouble there.

reply

"I used to f-ck guys like you in prison".

The littlest thing that made me laugh was Dalton....and his scrawny little boy body!

reply

As others have mentioned, Wesley driving all over the road happily singing to himself is just one of the many scenes that makes the movie the cheesy classic it is.

reply

1. Elvis! Play something with balls!
2. What do you say we get nipple to nipple? I can do that without you.
3. You lost your faith Stroudenmire, that's what it is. It's made you an abuser!
4. That gal's got entirely too many brains to have an ass like that.
5. Anything with "Mijo" attached to it.

reply

I should preface this by saying that I actually like this movie a lot. I don't like bad films. Sure, there is some bad dialogue in Road House (especially some of the weak insults spouted by Dalton when he's angry), but there are also some great one-liners, such as one that hasn't been mentioned yet:
"Remember that blonde? She could suck-start a Harley."
Also, bar full of patrons when the bad guys walk in. Dalton, poker-faced:
"Sorry, we're closed."

Daltons Mercedes landing back on its wheels after it goes over the fence
Also the line after Dalton runs after the motor bike: prepare to die
Dalton: you’re such an @$$hole
