The Worst Film Ever

Sorry, this movie sucks

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Blistering performances.

Road House 2: Last Call is set in in a small town in Lousiana where Nate Tanner (Will Patton) owns a bar named The Black Pelican which a violent drug dealer named Wild Bill (Jake Busey) wants as it's in the perfect location to smuggle drugs through the swamps undetected, however Nate doesn't want to sell & stands up against Wild Bill & his gang of dealers. To get Nate out of the way Wild Bill tries to kill him but only ends up wounding him & putting him in hospital, his DEA agent nephew Shane Tanner (Jonathon Schaech) hears about his uncle & decides to visit him. Shane quickly learns about Wild Bill & his drug dealing, Shane take temporary control of The Black Pelican & embarks on an all out war with the dealers to clean the town up...Directed by Scott Ziehl this is a sequel to the Patrick Swayze action thriller Road House (1989) which I incidentally saw less than a week ago so I can compare the two against each with some authority, I was never a big fan of the original Road House apart from some unintentionally funny moments & I actually think Road House 2 is a better film. The script has Patrick Swayze's character's from the original dead & gone after being murdered sometime between the two films & his son Shane (why is Shane's second name Tanner & not Dalton after his father?) fill his boots & gets to clean up a small town all by himself. There are numerous references to Dalton (the three rules for instance) in Road House 2 but otherwise there's nothing connecting the two films at all. The original delt with extortion while here it's drug dealers, the general plot is similar to the original with a lone man driving into town & getting himself deeper into trouble than he could have expected & eventually takes on all the bad guy's & saves the day. The pace is brisk, it never lets up, there's enough fights & action to keep one satisfied & there's also some funny moments as well with some priceless dialogue especially from Jake Busey as Wild Bill who is a hoot here. The plot is nothing that special, it tells a story I suppose but no-one will be surprised by anything that happens & there's a bit too much of an effort to tie things together & get a really happy ending. While no masterpiece I was actually surprised at how much I liked Road House 2, as a simple & straight forward action film you could do a lot, lot worse.I really liked the action scenes in Road House 2, thank god the makers didn't go for that horrible machine gun edited shaky camera crap where you can't see a damned thing. Nope, here in Road House 2 everything is clear, well shot, well edited & well choreographed & the fights here are some of the best I've seen in a direct to video flick, seriously there's no shaky camera shots or quick editing anywhere & for that I salute the makers of Road House 2. While not as gay as the original Road House there's still a lot of topless bodies on show here, luckily a lot of them this time around are female so the boy's & girls will both be happy. The character of Wild Bill is great, he sits in a jacuzzi talking drugs while he has a naked girl either side of him, he wears some of the silliest looking shirts ever & he's just a great villain.Originally to be filmed in New Orleans the location was moved after Hurricane Katrina hit although it was still shot in Louisiana. The acting isn't bad I suppose, it's not great but it's not bad. Jonathon Schaech isn't leading man material, Jake Busey looks like he's having a ball while Ellen Hollman is very cute as the token love interest.Road House 2: Last Call is a pretty fun violent low budget direct to video action thriller that I liked quite a lot, sure it's predictable & silly & is no classic but what it is it's pretty good.

this movie is a pile of rubbish , and to try and base it the first is just a farce , the main thing that let it down for me was the usage of the one liners out of the first one , which once said by classic actors such as Sam Elliot can not be reproduced in any way , i mean when Dalton phones wade in the 1st , and he ends the call with stay cool that was great , but when the chump rings the DEA agent back home and he ends the call with stay cool it doesn't have the same ring now really does it , there are other ones but I cant be bothered to post em up , but I hope u get my drift ,they should of named this roadhouse wannabe ..........

The Black Pelican isn't' nearly as cool as the Double Deuce! I am very angry about that. Still, this was a good movie. The fight scenes were better than BLOODSPORT even. There were corny lines, like when Jake Busey says "I'm going to kill you! Just like I killed your Dad!" Yes, the main dude in this movie is Patrick Swazy's son. Jake Busey killed the father for some reason. There were good fight scenes between Tanner and Busey, especially in the last scene. The movie is very strange in that there is a girl who throws knives and gets into a cat fight that never seems to end with a cute girl named Bo. Would I say this is as good as the first one? No way. But it's worth a quick watch. If you trip over your DVD's and this one happens to play on your DVD player, I would give it a chance.

"Road House 2" is a worthy sequel to the Eighties cult fight fest, full of gorgeous Louisiana locales and the obligatory redneck sideshows. Dalton offspring Jonathon Schaech flies from New York to the bayou where he must protect the Black Pelican bar, a family establishment, from an encroaching Miami crime syndicate led by Richard Norton, starring as Victor Cross. The well tailored Cross is the kind of villain that audiences relish. He is suavely menacing and overly confident. Norton plays him to perfection, and the film benefits from a suited bad guy in contrast to all those bar brawlers. When Norton, a famed martial artist, and Schaech go at each other, the movie finally finds the edgy action style it needs for contemporary audiences. Unfortunately, Norton and co-star Will Patton do not get enough screen time in this chapter of the Dalton family saga. But, the film gets high marks for casting them and for their performances. If "Road House" repeats again, let's hope that Victor, as portrayed by Norton, gets a return reservation!
