Rewatch both and tell me you don't see the parallels. MacGruber isn't a straight up parody of RoadHouse but it very much shares the same 80's tough guy movie DNA, the only difference is Macgruber is woefully incompetent.
Are they the only two action movies you've ever seen? They aren't similar at all, Dalton is not even an 80s action hero in the style that MacGruber parodies.
Watch the movies. Macgruber isn't Dalton at all, but he totally thinks he is in his head. And there's definitely other stylistic choices that hearken back to the action movies back then. Like lots of unnecessary man ass in the sex scenes.
But Roadhouse isn't anything like most action movies "back then"
For one thing, Roadhouse came out in 1989, and it feels stylistically more like something from the early 90s, secondly (and again) MacGruber parodies MacGyver obviously but also bigger, more military-tinged action movies.
Roadhouse is basically a kung fu movie, there's no guns until the very end, and Dalton doesn't ever use them.

Yes, twice, but I've seen Roadhouse upwards of 80 times throughout my life since I was seven or eight and there are no similarities.
Unless you're just making a connection because Dalton kind of has a mullet, though once again it's nothing like MacGruber's.

You are blind, man. I'm not saying the plot isn't heavily inspired by Stallone and Arnie flicks, it is. What I'm saying is the character of Macgruber is inspired by Rick Dalton. Yes, obviously he is a parody of MacGuyver, but the movie expands on him a bit more and you see that he totally thinks he's this zen tough guy when in fact he's the complete opposite. Also he tips throats like a fricking madman. I don't remember Macguyver doing that.

based Swayze enjoyer
>look up the IMDB page >trivia saying how extremely handsome Patrick Swayze was that females as extras fell the entire time over stuff due to looking at him
I don't get it, he looks like a smashed apple, Sam Elliot face, height and frame moggs him and yet he never was a sex symbol.
what is attractive to men is often different that what is attractive to women
I'm old and I remember that Swayze had a lot of girls bubbling in their panties
Just look like him dude, his front facial features are incel tier

His side profile is insanely Chad tier, that's true, but so is Tarantinos.

ill give you the big lebowski but he is still a minor character and his range isnt shown off
most anons here have never seen the killing of a chinese bookie, which is a shame
>pain dont hurt
what the hell did he mean by this?
he means in general terms pain isn't that bad and is tolerable in most cases.
Jeff Healy stole the show. Whatever happened to that blind frick?
bro he died
Frick. That Chinese shit?
15 years ago from cancer
I will rewatch the movie today now. Blessed.
He owned a bar in Toronto that he used to play at all the time. It closed a couple years after he died.
Ben Gazzara stole the show and you know it
Best character is the guy on the right in OP's pic. He makes every movie 10 times better.
Daily reminder big hair is chad/stacy energy
Unnecessary kick at the end, butthole. Way to rub it in.

Road House.
One of the few films surpassed only by its spiritual successor.
How is MacGruber a successor of Roadhouse?

Fricking zoomer. I'm guessing you haven't heard of MacGyver?
I'm very familiar with MacGyver. And don't call me zoomer again, butthole.
It is.
Chick in the middle has the weirdest hairstyle I've ever seen

You're an incel, bro. You will never understand what makes a man hot, so please stop trying. I can tell how gross you are just from your posts.

The Big Lebowski, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie?
ill give you the big lebowski but he is still a minor character and his range isnt shown off

Honestly surprised how popular this movie is on Cinemaphile considering how obscure and hammy it is
Hard movie.
