The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley.

In a land where no law enforcement exists, Swayze rules all. Complete with throat rips, polar bears and untimely sexual jokes.

Top notch, what a classic. First time watching it now in 2025, and 1989 did not disappoint with the amount of explosions and bare breasts. Decent storyline too.

I have watched this movie many times, and I honestly couldn't even tell you why I like it, or why I keep going back to re-watch it, only that I do like it, and I keep going back to re-watch it.
