I'm surprised it's that high to be honest. The plot is garbage. 'Philosophy major decides to become king of the dip-shits at the local slaughterhouse.'
Nahh... it's utter crap but RH is good for a few laughs. I'll watch it occasionally. but I'd only give it about a 4.8 out of 10.
Here is a short educational clip illustrating why it's a misunderstood masterpiece: -

Because this movie just went over the limit on how many roundhouse kicks should appear in one film. One or two less and the movie would be rated a 9.0 at least.
ROADHOUSE!
ROADHOUSE!

Yeah.. too many roundhouse kicks is like having ice cream six times a day. Even awesome stuff loses it's attractiveness when over used.
You take that back!
That's like saying you can have too many Sharknado films.
LOL, my niece has seen every Sharnado film and loves them. It's a riot actually how much she talks about them.
Your niece is awesome!
Everybody should make time for a little cheesefest in their lives.
She is awesome, although now she's reaching that age when she's paying more attention to boys than sharks, although some boys are sharks according to my wife.. She also watches every show on sharks. Personally, I find them one dimensional. They just swim and eat. No intelligence to speak of, no unusual habits.. Now, octopus' are freaking fascinating creatures!!!
Why is this rated only 6.6?
My answer to you is.....ROADHOUSE! (said in a Peter Griffn voice).
shareBecause Sam Elliott got killed. Otherwise it would have been 7.6.
shareA very fair point.
shareAt the end, Dalton should have been sporting a caterpillar 'stache in honor of Wade Garrett. It would have bumped it up at least a point for me.
shareLOL
shareThat’s good stuff right there. Lol!
shareAre you sure Dalton can actually grow facial hair? Or any hair for that matter... smoothest looking skin in the history of cinema.

Yeah, I always turn the channel when it gets to that part. They needed a vehicle for Dalton to become enraged enough to kill Jimmy, and killing Garrett was it. I would have preferred it was Doc instead...
Better than what many will give it credit for. For others probably a painful reminder of what happens at such a place. In some ways not overly realistic. If you go into such a place thinking that if your a guy nobody is going to pick a fight with you then that is quite naive. If your a women and you do not expect a guy to aggressively hit on you then that is very naive. A cooler must be a Midwest thing because back at that time you never heard of them at least in the Northeast. It was always about taking your chances in terms of having your head smashed in. Joke was that the bartenders were on a first name basis with the sheriff's deputies and ambulance crew. Probably the other reason is Ben Gazzara is not the most believable choice for a small town heavy. For the most part the bad guys start and end with Marshall Teague. I think that it gets as much as 6.6 because it was a niche movie. I don't remember anything else like it.
