We're closing out our Summer of Swayze with quite possibly the single greatest bad movie ever made. Nine total bar fights, two smoking hot male leads, a monster truck crashing through a building, introspective male bonding and speeches…this movie really does have it all. There's a reason this is now a cult classic - because despite its reputation, and despite the incredible sharpness of this movie's cheese factor, there's a pretty great movie at its core. We finish off our series with the 1989 new classic, Road House!
