The Road House remake is out now, meaning we can answer the burning question being asked by all fans of the original — does anyone get their throat ripped out?
The1989 Road Housestarred Patrick Swayze as tough guy Dalton, who takes a job bouncing at Honky-Tonk bar the Double Deuce to help clean up the place.
And while the movie didn’t make it onto our list ofbest fights in TV and Movies, it’s chock-full of brutal brawls as Dalton beats all-comers, some to within an inch of their lives.
Does anyone get their throat ripped out in the Road House remake?
No, the manoeuvre isn’t in the new movie, as not a single character gets their throat ripped out during Road House. Multiple antagonists deserve such treatment — most notably Conor McGregor’s deranged killer Knox — but those who survive the movie end proceedings with their throats very much intact.
While speaking about that iconic brawl back in the original movie, Marshall Teague told the Daily Mail that aside from the throat rip, his fight with Patrick Swaze was real.
“If you watch the film, we’re not pulling the punches,”Teague reveals. “He kicked me in the eye and cracked one of my eye sockets with that spinning kick. So I busted his ribs.
