RIP Patrick Swayze

[Care Bear]

At the age of 57. Seemed like a hell of a human being. And every male I know has some sort of special affinity for Road House. Must be a Kelly Lynch thing?

(AP) — HEAVEN — Traded Saint Simon-Peter to the Mere Mortals for cooler Patrick Swayze.

 

[Stoney]

Surprised to learn that he was that old. Guess that means he was in his 30s when played in all those 80s teen movies like Red Dawn, Youngblood and the Outsiders.

The guy was memorable part of many memorable flicks from my youth. Sad news. RIP, Patrick.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

He was very good in The Client

Even better in Ghost.

 

[Gutter]

Hopefully he and Chris Farley are having a dance-off in the clouds.

RIP, Derek Sutton.

So very sad and unavoidable, but it sounds like he fought an unwinnable battle with grace and courage.

No one will argue his movies were high art, but if you're a certain age, the Outsiders-Red Dawn-Dirty Dancing was an unmatched triumvirate. Then he went and topped himself with Ghost.

Wolverines.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

One more time: WOLVERINES!

RIP to a great actor.

EDIT: BYH beat me to it.

Just a gratuitous violence/cheesy humor thing. Kind of like Steven Seagal movies. I actually caught Roadhouse on TV last week and forgot how much I liked it at the time.

RIP, Patrick.

In his defense, he was always playing the ex-high school jock whose younger brothers were still in school in those movies. But yeah, he was a little old.

Not as bad as Ralph Macchio playing Daniel Larusso at age 26, though.

 

[Bad Guy Zero]

Black Dog is my favorite of Swayze's schlock flicks. As for his better films, The Outsiders is great and I've always felt that Grandview U.S.A. is underrated.

 

[TigerVols]

Ask the three young construction workers who rescued him in Arizona when he landed his plane -- drunk off his ass -- in the middle of a neighborhood under construction just how "great a guy" Patrick Swayze was. The way he treated them in the aftermath of all that was downright criminal.

Let's not forget Next of Kin.
