This is not so bad it's good, it's just good. Good action, fun characters, nude women, all the ingredients to a killer 80's flick.

I’ve never wanted to be a bouncer more in my life. Who knew you could become a legend?

One of the all time great so-bad-it’s-good movies. Completely brainless from an artistic standpoint, but still a helluva fun watch.

All time great Swayze/action film. Classic 80s blockbuster.

One of the all time “so bad, it’s good” movies…great performances by Swayze and Sam Elliott

Classic 80’s action. Really enjoyable to watch and easy to get into. Swayze and Elliot are smoking hot!

This movie rules. I can't explain why, it just does. Never has a movie been so stupid yet so awesome.

Classic 80's Swayze. Can't go wrong with this one. Just plain fun!

Very underrated action film. One of the best action/fight films ever. Great fights, great music. Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott kill it.

80s gem especially fans of Swayze with plenty of action scenes & romance that it classic for a reason Swayze,Emlliott & Lynch deliver here
