RIP Patrick Swayze <hr style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I just heard this on the news................. God speed, fantastic actor..................
He was quoted as saying that he wanted his work to be his legacy. What a legacy. Some all time great movies. Road House Dirty Dancing Ghost Steel Dawn and my favorite Red Dawn Wolverines!!!! Maybe not oscar material but great flicks all the same. RIP
I agree with you on Red Dawn! I have it on vhs and I still watch it when it comes on tv. I hope he wasn't in pain when he passed.
"Black Dog" was another good one. He played an ex-con trucker forced into one more illegal run by an evil Meatloaf (also a surprisingly good actor!).
How come no one mentioned "To Wong Foo,Thanks for everything..Julie Newmar"? Love that movie.. "Oh, sweet pea. Now, you listen to your Auntie Vida. I want you to believe in yourself, imagine good things and moisturize, I cannot stress this enough."
Steel Dawn is another of my favorites. Not well known. A post apocalyptic "Shane" with a great duel at the end. It also featured his long time wife. The same blond that is his love interest in Road House.( different blond, Kelly Lynch) Don't recall her name. (Lisa Nieme) I thought Sam Elliot stole the show in Road House.
