Yes, Jeff Healey was indeed blind. He had a rare form of cancer that took his eyesight as a child and would eventually cause his death in 2008. He was a legendary Canadian musician and we lost him far too soon. His father bought him a guitar when he was young and he learned to play at a school for the blind but he came up with his method of playing on his own. As for the bouncer vs cooler - the cooler's job is to keep his eye on the room while the bouncers are the ones that intervene when there is an issue. As his character says, their job is to be nice until he tells them it's time to not be nice.

Ashley struggling to hold it together with Patrick and Sam is fantastic 🤣🤣

FUN FACT: Bill Murray is good friends with Kelly Lynch and her husband, and EVERY time Roadhouse is on tv, no matter where he is in the world and what time, he will call up Kelly's husband Mitch Glazer and says "Your wife is getting banged by Patrick Swayze and she's not putting up much of a fight." LOL

"Cleanup on aisle my panties. Let me tell ya that right now!" - One of the funniest things I have ever heard! 😂🤣

In an interview years ago, Kelly Lynch - the doctor - told a fun story about Bill Murray and her husband, screenwriter Mitch Glazer, who co-wrote Scrooged. "Speaking of Bill Murray, every time Road House is on and he or one of his idiot brothers are watching TV - and they're always watching TV - one of them calls my husband and says [In a reasonable approximation of Carl Spackler], 'Kelly's having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They're doing it. He's throwing her against the rocks. [Away from the receiver.] What? Oh, my God.' Mitch was just walking out the door to the set, and he said that Bill once called him from Russia."

"You're too stupid to have a good time!" is one of my favorite movie lines ever.

Girl I have never laughed so hard watching you as I did after Sam made his appearance. I also knew you wouldn’t be able to handle it. The casting directors counted on it 😊

"A Polar Bear fell on me!" Great line. Never gets old.

The older bouncer with the curly hair and goatee was Terry Funk, a legendary pro wrestler from Texas that eventually wrestled all over the world.

The Uncle Sam thing was a grip strength machine. You squeeze the hand and it gives you a score.

I remember seeing this on VHS when it first came out in the early 90s. I was probably about 11 or 12 at the time. The two most memorable lines were, "Pain don't hurt," and, "A polar bear fell on me." 30+ years and the polar bear line is still hilarious.

Since you watched Road House, I'd recommend watching Next of Kin as your next Patrick Swayze movie. It doesn't get as much love as other Swayze movies, but it's a personal favorite. As someone who gets injured a lot, I can understand Dalton carrying around his medical files and doing first aid on himself. The few times I've been to the ER for serious injuries was when I couldn't stitch myself up, set bones, or needed foreign materials removed. Having the top of my right middle finger reattached was kind of interesting to watch TBH.

Regarding Sam Elliot's mustache: there's a wonderful line in the show "Grace and Frankie", when Sam Waterston (as his character) makes the following comment upon seeing a picture of Sam's character: "There's ten people in the world that can [get away with] that mustache, and he's nine of them!" A "road house" is a particular type of drinking establishment. It's built along a highway in a small town, and gets a fair amount of intinerant customers.

As others have noted, Jeff Healy was really blind, and incredibly talented. I saw him live in about 1990 and was just blown away by the power and energy given out by this guy just sitting on a stage with a guitar in his lap. An amazing talent, taken from us far too early.

I love how you went from he's a serial killer to omg cute B & B

You had exactly the reaction I expected you to have to a movie with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot in it.

My dad and I used the phrase ‘A polar bear fell on me’ as our way of saying I don’t know WTH is going on

The Blues Brothers also has the Band performing behind chicken wire. Which was probably for the best, given the number of bottles that got thrown at them.

"Be nice, until its time to not be nice" is probably one of the best pieces of advice from a movie people can learn. It has saved my butt more times than not when I was a cop and in my current job. To be fair when I train new people I make them watch that whole scene

This was my Dad’s favorite movie. He probably watched it 500 times. Sadly he’s passed but I enjoyed you watching this and salivating over Patrick and Sam like all of us who saw it when it came out. Girl, I am so happy you are now a fellow witness to this wonderment. 👩🏻‍🦰👍🏻😉😆😎. The bar is a ROADHOUSE, hence the name.👍🏻

Jeff Healy was actually blind from a rare childhood illness and he still learned how to play the guitar like that but unfortunately he died on March 2nd 2008 from sarcoma after having cancer removed from both lungs

A roadhouse is an inn, dance hall, tavern, nightclub, etc., located on a highway, usually beyond city limits (no police, just the Sheriff). Bar room brawls were a part of Southern culture that has mostly died out. While most bars were fairly responsible, there was always one or two that would over serve and had a reputation for being "rowdy".

Glad you finally got to watch it. Definitely one of his best known movies. Gone wayyy too soon. R.I.P. Swayze

Dear Aslieigh, been with you since the start (almost) and I just need to stay watching you find your youtube persona has been an absolute treat. You have developed into one of the best reactors out there by discovering the key is being yourself and just expressing what you think as it pops in your head. Genuinely and consistently hilarious with wide range of comic tools at your disposable, but the greatest is your total genuine authenticity.And speaking as a Brit, it's not common amongst US reactors. Please keep going onward as you have been. You have no idea of the joy you bring complete strangers from 300 miles away and it transcends culture. You have created something very special here. Sincere congratulations and if you will forgive 1 possibly inappropiate remark, you as hot as hell girl and brilliantly funny and genuine. Your channel is as good as any comedy TV shows and it's all you. Well done girl, damn well done.

One of the best movies ever. A perfect plot: bar fight, naked woman, bar fight , topless woman, bar fight naked woman. Repeat for an hour and a half, It should have swept the Oscars.

"Road House!" - Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane), Family Guy (1999) Fun Fact: According to Kelly Lynch, whenever Bill Murray sees her sex scene with Patrick Swayze on television, he calls her husband, Mitch Glazer, to tease him about it. Music Enthusiast Fact: The band playing at the start of the movie is Cruzados. After the band disbanded, lead singer Tito Larriva formed the band Tito & Tarantula, which is the band that played at the Titty Twister in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). Roundhouse Kick Fact: According to Sam Elliott, all of the actors did their own stunts. They were all trained by Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a holder of nine black belts in nine different disciplines. Urquidez believed so much in Patrick Swayze's abilities, that he suggested Swayze become a competitive kickboxer.

Your reaction never cease to amaze me. Back then the producer Joel Silver always made sure that the audience is getting super pumped with action sequences.

I love Ashleigh’s reaction to this film. It’s called “Road House” because the club is a road house: a club that is generally found “out in the sticks” as far from regulation as possible. There is even another film of nearly the same title (“Roadhouse”) from the 40’s.

"Hurts don't it". I just love Sam's entrance

So happy you got to this one. Growing up, we had a bunch of movies on tape, but this was the only movie my folks said I couldn't watch. So, of course it is the ONLY movie I wanted to watch. Whenever I had a chance I would pop in the VHS and watch bits at a time. As I got older, I would watch some parts more than others!! This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

I was 17 years old when this came out, and I saw it at least 3 or 4 times at the theater. I was ahead of the times in appreciating the artistic masterwork that is Roadhouse.

From 1983 - 2016 I predominantly worked in law enforcement, security and corrections. I used much of Dalton's teachings like never underestimate your opponent, expect the unexpected, be nice until it's time not to be nice and it's nothing personal, it's just a job. These things served me well.

Good movie. I love Sam Elliott in it…& his voice. It’s been described as part lion’s purr & part gravel road…it’s the sound testosterone would make if it could talk. Sam’s first role was a bit part in “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid” with Paul Newman, Robert Redford & the woman who became his wife, Katherine Ross…a great movie which was such a success it lead to Newman & Redford making “The Sting,” another wonderful movie. Anyhoo, Sam & Kathering actually didn’t meet until several years when they co-starred in “The Legacy” & have been married for about 40 years. It was a horror film that's best remembered as being the film that brought them together…she was on husband #4 at the time, divorced him & married Sam, his only marriage. Sam’s had a very long, successful career: The Big Lebowski, Tombstone, A Star is Born remake, Fatal Beauty, Rough Riders to name a few. On TV, he was in the mini-series Gettyburg, The Sacketts, The Quick & the Dead, Hallmark’s November Christmas, Shadow Riders, etc.. Even if the project sucked, Sam would be the best thing about it because he's that good.

The band at the first bar was Cruzados, who became Tito and Turantula that went on to do music for Robert Rodriguez movies, like Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn. Love them!

There is a funny story attached to this movie. The actor Bill Murray (Ghostbusters/Groundhog Day) and his brother are really big fans of this movie, and one of their writer friends actually got married to the actress that played the blonde doctor/love interest in this movie. So, whenever one or both Murray brothers see this movie if they're flipping channels or for their own enjoyment, it doesn't matter what time of day or night, they will call their friend and say in a creepy voice, "I'm watching your wife having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. He's got her up against the wall." Then they hang up.

I think my favourite bit is Ashley at 6:35 going all real estate broker "...make this a little AirBnB, can you imagine? With the bay window and that pond... STOP ! He would make a fortune..." Had me laughing out loud 🙂

I love your reaction videos. You make me laugh out loud when you're surprised by something unexpected happens. Thanks for your time put into your work on all the work edited by the other Ashley. Keep up the great work

I don't care if it was a mullet, Swayze's hair was IMMACULATE. And Sam Elliot is my mom's celebrity hall pass ;)

Sam Elliot’s mustache in Roadhouse is why he was able to get the role of Virgil Earp in Tombstone lol

Watching Ashleigh thirst through this movie was utterly hilarious. I had never thought of comparing it to From Dusk Til Dawn, but it is in some ways! This is only the second time I've seen this and man, it's good.

Peter Griffin loves this movie! (roundhouse kick.) “Roadhouse.”

I love the huge explosion that happens behind the doctor's head after she delivers a line of dialogue - I LOVE it when big in-camera effects are coordinated with acting. There's a cool one in Charley Varrick (1973) too. And a road house is just another name for a roadside bar.

Jeff Healey was one of the best guitarists on the planet. Blind since childhood. We lost him far to soon to a brain tumor.

I was laughing just like you in all the same spots! This movie is a classic 80s flick. An absolute must. A Roadhouse is the kind of slaughter houses (as they're called) that have a lot of rough housing and bad dudes getting drunk inside. I'm so glad you got to watch this finally. Win! Thanks, Ashleigh for always putting a smile on my face and sharing these moments with us all. And Beans scratching in the background!

Morgan is, of course, the legendary wrestler Terry Funk. I always thought Terry looked kind of puny compared to the giants you see in Pro wrestling. Then I see him in this film and he's towering over everyone. Terry was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 by his longtime rival Dusty Rhodes (RIP). One of his biggest contributions to wrestling was mentoring Mick Foley and suggesting he start his infamous "Hell in a Cell" match on TOP of the cell. Funk also choreographed the street fight between Rocky Balboa and Tommy Gunn at the end of Rocky V.

By a mile my favourite youtube reactioner Ashleigh! I smile all the way thru your content and that's a really hard thing to do, I very rarely smile but you just warm my cold heart! Thanks for being you!

I absolutely love your reactions Ashleigh. I was genuinely laughing out loud a good number of times. 😂 I love this movie, its just great fun and silly action.

1. This was my first Patrick Swazye movie and I've seen as many of his other films as I could. RIP Pat😇 2. He started doing ballet but injured his knee so he took up acting. Ghost, The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing and Red Dawn would be good starts for more of him. 3. Who doesn't love Sam Elliot? I KNEW YOU WOULD.😍😋😈 4. Location goof: Mountains can be seen in some long shots. There aren't any mountains near Kansas City. 5. This didn't get the love it deserved. It has now become classic. 6. This holds the claimed title "The best bad movie ever. I disagree. I love it.😁

Something Different For You To React To: The 1980s Miniseries NORTH AND SOUTH!! Touches On Sensitive Subjects, But Also Has An All Star Cast And Guest Stars!! Patrick Swayze, James Read, Jonathan Frakes,Kirstie Allie, Jimmy Stewart, Johnny Cash, Robert Mitchum, Elizabeth Taylor, Morgan Fairchild!! Well Worth The Effort!!

I'll always be grateful to Road House for the unforgettable "Pain don't hurt." And I agree that this movie is prime Sam Elliot. What a man.

OMG! You just got a new subscriber! Not only is this one of my favourite movies, but seeing you just flip out and melt over Patrick and Sam in this like I do every time I watch it. I feel like we could be sisters. You’re entire reaction had me grinning alongside you from start to finish. One of my favourite reactions ever!

The thirst in this reaction was pretty graphic, and I loved it ❤😂

I worked security at a bar for 5 years back in the 90's. There's some surprisingly accurate on certain things that happen in a rowdy place. The stuff out side fighting a mob boss type guy I have no clue about. 😅😅

Your reactions are awesome!! Love your passion for Elliott and Swayze. 🎉

I'm a supervisor for a security company, and I use Swayze's "be nice" routine to train my new Officers. Most of them weren't even born when this movie came out. But the ones who take it to heart, tend to do well.

If you search KZfaq you can find an amazing companion commentary to this movie done by Kevin Smith and his producer Scott Mosier. It was included on one of the special editions of the films and is absolutely worth listening to with the movie.

You just watched one of my favorite movies. This was the first film I saw Sam Elliott in and it was love at first sight. ❤ When this movie came out Patrick Swayze was my celebrity crush and Jeff Healy's "Angel Eyes" was my favorite song. I was in heaven. I watch this movie every couple of years and it never gets old. Two of the sexiest and most talented actors and one of the greatest blues players together on screen at the same time... ❤❤❤ As far as the movie's name goes, a roadhouse is what you call rural bars that sit off the main road outside city limits. They are usually filled with bikers and have a reputation of being pretty rough. "Cooler" is just another name for the head bouncer. Their job is to intervene when disputes start to escalate and cool things down, hence the name "cooler." If you aren't familiar with Jeff Healy you should listen to the song "Angel Eyes." I linked it for you. It has over 32 million views so I really think you will love it.❤ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oceXY7ekv-DcoKs.html

*"Clean up on aisle **_my panties_** ..."* 😁😂😂🤣 Ashleigh, I just *_can't_* with you, girl...!!!

"clean up in aisle My Panties." hahahahahahahahaha

I love me a Roadhouse reaction, but this one was entirely too much fun! And, yes. That was a mullet. It was the 80s. We all had mullets. It was just normal. In fact, I don't think I had ever heard the term mullet used in my life until the 90s. That was just how a boy or man's hair was. When I was a little boy in the 80s, I remember when having a rat tail was cool, and I was so jealous that another boy at school had one.

I cant believe it has taken this long for a reaction channel to do one of the best movies ever made . Next is Equilibrium .

Best performance I ever saw in my life was by Jeff Healey. A true example of how extraordinary a human being can be.

4:45 This man throwing the other around was legendary professional wrestler Terry Funk, who passed away today at the age of 79. He has appeared and done stunts for other movies including Over The Top and Rambo 3. RIP.

You need to watch Flashdance (1983). You'll love the music!

I was feeling miserable until I watched this. Thanks for cheering me up Ashleigh.

"Clean up on aisle my panties" has to be one of THE greatest lines I have ever heard. I'm totally stealing it. Yes, Sam is ridonkulously beautiful in this movie. I mean, Patrick is as well, but Sam? The man could always & can still get it. RAWR. 😍

The band behind the wire mesh is The Jeff Healy band. Jeff and the boys were real Canadian rockers until Jeff died a few years ago. Jeff played his guitar while blind and as someone who saw him live, he was freaking amazing.

My Mom had such a HUGE crush on Sam Elliot! 😅 It used to creep me out because he sounded and looked like my Dad! 😂😂😂

Someone finally reacting to this movie. Love this one. It isn't the best movie, but it is extremely good at being what it's trying to be

so at the start of the movie, the guy in the green sleeveless shirt and almost afro like dark hair is pro wrestling legend terry funk. guy's a madman, who's seen / done it all. during the 80s, he "retired" [haha] from pro wrestling and tried to follow in other wrestlers' to hollywood. he was in a few movies but in smaller roles like "roadhouse." while he was never a leading man, he helped immensely behind the camera. in the movies he was in, he helped choreograph many of the fight scenes. like with this movie, all the bar fight scenes he helped come up with. he also helped swayze and sam elliot get into character of being a cooler, and the other actors of being bouncers- as he was once both himself. the movie's called "roadhouse" because the director originally wanted to call the movie "roundhouse blues," after the song by the doors- as well as feature the song. the surviving members said no, because all of the film's violence and gore. so the director called the movie just "roadhouse" instead and then used a cover version of the song [sung by healey's band]. the joke of "roadhouse" in family guy: swayze used a lot of roundhouse kicks in the movie. roundhouse, sounds like "roadhouse." because peter's stupid, he said "roadhouse" instead, thinking it was the same thing.

I just came across your channel bc of the reaction content. A minute in and I'm already sold on your awesome personality! You crack me up! I look forward to future 80's reactions that SHALL include the Legend of Billie Jean with Helen Slater and Christian Slater, and hopefully the fantasy cult classic, Legend with Tim Curry and a very young Tom Cruise! Okay... I had no idea what I was getting into. "Cleanup on aisle 'My Panties'" had me pausing on the account of having trouble breathing bc of laughing so freaking hard!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I LOVE Roadhouse, one of the best movies for sheer fun and enjoyment I’ve ever seen. In the days of the IMDb message board, (sadly long since closed down), there was a whole thread on ‘things I learned watching Roadhouse’ and it was totes hilarious. Glad you enjoyed.

The "band behind chicken wire" movie you saw before was "The Blues Brothers".

“Road House” is like the Nicolas Cage of movies. Everyone says it sucks, yet everyone knows way more about it than they’d care to admit, from memes to other pop culture references. And Elliott and Gazzara class up any film they're in, with "The Big Lebowski" being Exhibit B.

Fun fact, the Band at the the first place he worked was Tito y Tarantula who also were the band at the Titty Twister in From Dusk Til Dawn

I recommend a watch of "Black Dog" (1998). Another Swayze flick, with a slightly older, scruffier looking Swayze. Also starring Meat Loaf and Randy Travis.

I love this movie. It's a fun, over the top film that was released just two years after Dirty Dancing. Jeff Healey was such a talent, and his role in this fil was spot on. You may laugh at the cassette tape player he had in his car, but my first car had an 8 track player in it. Yeah, I'm old ... When I was first watching this movie back in the day with friends, I went, "Holy crap, that's Terry Funk!" when I saw one of the bouncers. He held quite a few titles along with other family members, and is revered among wrestling fans. Unfortunately, it appears that he is going through dementia in his old age.

As someone who did bouncing for 12 years and my dad who's nickname was Cooler... this movie is legendary to me and has so many lines all my bouncing buddies would quote all the time!

Kelly Lynch (the pretty nurse) was in a couple other movies worth checking out, Drugstore Cowboy & Desperate Hours.

You have to see Silverado (1985) Kevin Kline, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Costner, John Cleese, Danny Glover. The other film you saw with the band playing with the chicken wire covering was Blues Brothers.

An early Partick Swayze movie no one ever talks about is Uncommon Valor. It will never win a poll but you should check it out on your own. Stellar cast - Gene Hackman, Fred Ward, Tex Cobb Reb Brown

"don't be upset if it ain't true, and if its true then why are you mad?" I think you just solved all my issues in one sentence.

I knew your reaction to this one was gonna be a treat and you did not disappoint. You had me cracking up the whole time. Thanks for another fantastic reaction.

Love your witty comments during the movie watching. Rewatching some of my favorite movies with you has been good fun. Keep it going...

I loved how Ashley started off with is this going to be a musical

"Clean up on aisle my-panties right now!" That belongs on a t-shirt. I see an Ashleigh merch update coming up 😂😂😂

For a music lover such as yourself, Jeff Healey is a musician worth investigating... not particularly because he is blind, but just a legitimately excellent blues musician who also happens to be blind.

This is a classic, cheesey '80s bad script action movie. I love it!!! Ive watched it many times. I had to go back and watch your reaction to Sam Elliot. Same, girl. Same. 🤣

Love this movie! Jeff Healy is the blind guitar player. He is Awesome as you can tell. Love your reactions to both Patrick and Sam. Very enjoyable!

When I started watching this channel, around the time of Raider of the los ark, I never imagined Ashleigh making Citizen Kane references. Good for you girl.

"The movie could be just him w/camera rotating around him for 2hrs. & I still watch it"😂❤

I love this movie! ❤

One of the best movies that is so underrated and unknown by so many! RIP Patrick Swayze, my first crush ❤🥹🙏🏻

I never thought of this as a bad movie always loved it even as a kid believe it or not!!!

"The Double Douche" Cracks me up every time! lol 😅🤣😄😅😉

I’ve seen Roadhouse more times than I can count. But it’s Ashleigh’s line that made me laugh…”clean up on Aisle My Panties!” 😂🤣😂

This is one of my favorite movies! Absolutely think this movie gets WAY more hate than it deserves!

If you like Sam Elliott in this, go watch the movie Mask. It has Sam Elliott, Cher, and Eric Stoltz. Its a rough (emotional) movie but great

Jeff Healey was a cool ass dude. Now Terry Funk just recently passed away. RIP to both legends.

Gotta say love the reaction and your editing is on POINT!!!!!! love it
