Every Face Punch In Road House: The Ultimate In Fake Fighting

We puzzled for a bit over how to get that video below – a video that contains every face-punch in Road House, therefore making it perhaps one of the best videos ever created – onto our site. While we obviously wanted desperately to post a video that contained every face punch in Road House, this is a sports site, and while punching is a physical activity, finding a real sports connection there would be pushing it.

Then, we thought: wait, we have an “MMA/Boxing” category. Those sports have tons of punches… just like the video below, which – we can’t stress it enough – has every face punch from Road House! One could even contrast the obviously-fake violence above with the very, sometimes-terrifyingly real violence and bloodshed those sports produce. Justification achieved.

But after that, we realized: we don’t even need justification. Some things just must be shared with the world, and every face punch in Road House is one of those things. So if you haven’t already, watch that video below and enjoy every face punch in Road House. We’re satisfied that in going with our hearts and posting it, we made the right decision. Trying to reach for some tortured connection was just creating a fight within our own brains…and if there’s one thing Patrick Swayze’s character in Road House, Dalton, taught us, it’s that no one ever wins a fight.
