Avis à la une
As I had never heard about the movie, and thus never seen it, I didn't know what to expect from director Scott Ziehl. So he had every opportunity to impress and entertain me with this 2006 sequel.
Writers Miles Chapman, Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar put together a fair enough script and storyline, though it felt a bit campy and not overly original. But it certainly made a suitable viewing experience the first time around. "Road House 2: Last Call" is hardly going to become a classic like the 1989 movie was.
The movie does, however, have a good cast ensemble, with the likes of Johnathon Schaech, Jake Busey and Will Patton, among others. And the acting performances were actually good enough.
There was a good amount of action in the movie, and some nicely choreographed and executed fight scenes, which definitely helped to keep the movie afloat.
I will say, though, that "Road House 2: Last Call" proved better than what I had initially expected from a sequel such as it turned out to be. But hardly a movie that had me all thrilled and worked up.
My rating of "Road House 2: Last Call" lands on a five out of ten stars.
Allegedly, Patrick Swayze was originally supposed to play the bar owner. I wish that had been true because that character is very awesome in this film, but pales in comparison to Swayze. Also, I find it annoying that the film needed to compensate for him absence by referencing his murder so many times. (I don't know which I find more disturbing: the over-using of references, or the fact they killed off a cinematic hero.) With Swayze gone, this film has virtually no connection to the first. It does not even take place in the same bar. In my personal opinion, writing the last few references out of the script and giving this film a new title (rather than being a sequel) might have given it some box office time. It does, however, have a midget and stars the guy from "Doom Generation".
And since the director is best known for "Cruel Intentions 3", I guess a "Road House 2" shouldn't be a shock.
The only redeeming quality to this film (besides the midget) was the humor of Jake Busey. While not supposed to be funny, seeing Jake look and act just like his father and be a rap-listening gangster was just so silly to me. Oh, and there are some nice looking girls, too, who were probably lied to about what this would do for their careers. Sorry girls, you're going straight to video.
I would say rent this if you're a die-hard Road House fan, but the truth is this film does nothing but tarnish the good name of the original. Yes, there's some great fights (the same guy gets beat up like six times) but nothing like the scenes in Road House.
Straight-to-rental flick starring Johnathon Schaech as D. E. A.(Drug Enforcement Agent) agent, Shane Tanner going to some small town located around Tyree, Louisiana from New York to nab some serious drug dealers lead by the notorious "Wild Bill" played by Jake Busey and main boss, Victor played by real life martial artist and real life bodyguard to Linda Ronstadt, Richard Norton. And while their is action mostly martial art fighting both from the bad guys as well is good, it's nothing we haven't seen before, and the gun fights are a dismissal. It is only related to the first "Road House" movie by name only.

- AnecdotesThe part of Nate Tanner was originally supposed to be James Dalton, Patrick Swayze's character from the first Road House (1989), but Swayze backed out due to creative differences, and the character was changed.
