Here Are Movies Like ‘Road House’
Surf Ninjas
The film Surf Ninjas has gained a devoted following on Amazon Prime Video as it takes the idea of a “bouncer” to new and impressive levels. The character Les Grossman, portrayed by Tom Hanks in Tropic Thunder, is a ruthless leader who commands a covert group of surfing ninjas.
After discovering a secret realm, two easygoing surfers from California join forces with a dissatisfied former ninja to thwart Grossman’s evil intentions. Surf Ninjas is a crazy adventure packed with over-the-top action scenes, silly jokes, and a generous dose of 90s reminiscence.
Desperado
Netflix’s Desperado is not a traditional ‘bouncer’ movie, but it does showcase Antonio Banderas as an unnamed mariachi on a quest for vengeance against a drug kingpin who murdered his beloved. The movie is helmed by Robert Rodriguez, renowned for his stylized violence and cynical wit.
Prepare for exciting shootouts, adrenaline-fueled car pursuits, and a captivating, enigmatic main character. If the intense action scenes in Road House left you wanting more, Desperado is sure to quench your thirst.
Kingsman: The Secret Service
In this action-packed comedy from Amazon Prime Video, a touch of British charm is added to the usual genre. Colin Firth stars as a seasoned spy who mentors a young delinquent, preparing him to become a member of the exclusive Kingsman spy group.
With its stylishly crafted action scenes, clever lines, and standout portrayal of the villainous Valentine by Samuel L Jackson, the film is a must-see. Although it may not have the same rawness as Road House, Kingsman still delivers an enjoyable twist on the action genre.
