Was
it intended as a parody? I have no idea, but I laughed more during
this movie than during any of the so-called comedies I saw during the
same week. Consider, for example, the movie's hero, a barroom bouncer
named Dalton and played by Patrick Swayze.
Here is a man known as the best bouncer in the business - and the
business must pay well, since he owns a Mercedes convertible. But he
is not simply your average tough guy. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy
from New York University and is capable of deep insights into his
trade, such as, "In a fight, nobody wins."
