imo gazzara is way better in road house than in anything by cassavetes
yeah -- in fact, my favorite scene in road house is the one where gazzara is driving down the road in his convertible singing along to some old doo-wop song and swerving all over the damn place.

I first think of Gazzara in Anatomy of a Murder

"rescreening" Road House. Forgot the part with the monster truck, the bit where he rips the guy's throat open with his bare hands, and "Tails again!"

Kelly Lynch makes it clear in her interview what a thoroughly shitty movie it is, while PS is "It's the story of two lost souls..."

i've been thinking about an ex-ILXor's recent tweet a lot, in that the power of Swayze in Point Break but also Road House is the ^^^^deep sincerity with which he plays the roles. A lesser actor would have winked his way through them. the roles aren't devoid of humor but they're not jokes.
