Not Bad Enough To Be Good
Added 12/28/2008
This is not a horrible movie. Where it misses is where Roadhouse hit. The origional was so stupid and so goofey that it was actually hilarious in its 'badness'. This movie is just an ok straight to DVD movie.
It is worth a watch if you might be a fan of the origional but it is hardly in its (the origionals) class. It is just not stupid enough.

Very good action and Romance movie. There is really good action, plus a little romance at the same time.

Full of action and excitment. The entire cast, although no big names are in the movie they all put on a great preformance. I would highly recommend this movie if you like action and excitment. They could have left Jake Busey out and replaced him with someone that knows how to act.

Its a B movie, but its a well made B movie that entertains, though not quite as much as the first Road House. I expected no relation to the first Road House with this sequal, but there is. Jonathan Schaech plays a DEA agent, who is the son of Patrick Swayze's character from the first Road House. He takes over running the bar for his Uncle (Will Patton) who is in the hospital after getting the beat down from the movie bad guy, played by Jake Busey. The same "3 bar rules" are applied from the first movie. And as things progress, more and more becomes too much in common with the first Road House. I found that ok though, since most of the charcaters and action provided good entertainment for an hour and half.
One thing is for sure, the presence of Swayze is not felt at all in this film from Schaech, who semmed a bit bland. In fact, the whole movie is toned down from the first. But thats not to say there still isn't a good deal of action. Jake Busey, typical B movie actor, actually does a decent job of coming off as a decent villain, though he can seem like an over aged brat at times. One of the best treats is actor Richard Norton, playing the head boss. He is obviously showing signs of aging these days, but manages to still get in a good fight scene and pull of the villain role swiftly.
As for action, don't expect any crazy bar fights like the first Road House, but there are more one on one fights that are quite fun to watch. Schaech gets in a good fight with both Richard Norton and Jake Busey, both about the best scenes in the movie.
If you enjoyed Road House, this sequal is worth checking out. The similarities may be dissapointing, but you get more solid action to add to the fuel.

Roadhouse two is a cute premise, trying to milk the idea of the original movie.
DEA agent Sahne Tanner (Jonathan Schaech) is the son of Dalton from the original film. Many times during this film, his character is told sorry about his father's death. that is the only real connection from this film to the other.
Will Patton's acting is under used as Tanner's Uncle Nate who owns a Louiisana roadhouse on the river, the Black Pelican. Tanner comes to help his Uncle Nate. Jake (Gary's son) Busey plays Wild Bill, the local drug dealer/gangster who wants the Pelican for his own base of operation and will do anything to get it.
The film is filled with action and low on plot. Not really what i call entertainment
SPOILER ALERT (DONT READ UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW!)-Busey Character tell Tanner that he killed Dalton, The epic finally battles ensues with the ending we all can see what happened through out the whole movie
Lets say this, I hope there isnt a ROADHOUSE THREE
