Road House (1989)

Ending / spoiler

(18 votes)

Brad Wesley taunts Dalton by deciding the fate of either Elizabeth or Wade, through a simple coin toss. Dalton tries to get Elizabeth to get out of dodge with him, but when she refuses out of fear of him, Dalton later learns that Wade's fate was decided, as he is stabbed to death. Enraged, Dalton storms Wesley's ranch and kills all of his men (with the exception of Tinker, who is plumeled by a stuffed polar bear). After a fierce confrontation with Wesley, Dalton spares his life. The moment Elizabeth enters, Wesley attempts to shoot Dalton, but is gunned down by Pete, Red, and Frank. Before the cops arrive, the men hide their guns and everyone pretends nothing happened. Dalton and Elizabeth remain together.

Continuity mistake: This mistake occurs when Dalton shakes Emmet's hand while outside the horse barn. When they first meet he is working, wearing gloves. After they make intros and shake hands, he is not wearing gloves. In the immediate scene after, he is shown picking up hay and the gloves are back on. (00:20:50)

More trivia for Road House

Question: When Dalton and Doc are leaving the bar, you can see the Bigfoot monster truck with Jimmy in it. As there are only 2 other cars in the car park, why wouldn't Dalton have confronted them?

Answer: As we see throughout the film, Dalton is not confrontational, and always takes the path of least violence. He wouldn't confront them, he would wait for them to attack him.
