SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Assuming Amazon gives a greenlight to Road House 2, there is a tailor-made role for OG cast member Sam Elliott. The original movie arrived in 1989 and has become a defining guilty pleasure action flick. The mix of Patrick Swayze's performance as Dalton, the great fight scenes, quotable dialogue and much more have given the movie a lasting legacy.
One OG character conspicuous by their absence in Road House 2024 is Wade Garrett, played in the 1989 version by Sam Elliott. Garrett is Dalton's best friend and mentor, and while very much a supporting role, Elliott steals every scene he appears in. Considering Amazon's movie is a total reboot, it makes sense no one from the first film appears.
Bringing Sam Elliott Back Would Link The New Road House To The Original It would be nice to see a familiar face from The Double Deuce Road House actually received a direct sequel in the 2000s with Last Call, where Dalton's DEA agent son helps save his uncle's bar from a drug dealer. Swayze refused a Road House 2 cameo, and the follow-up featured no returning characters. For that reason, Last Call remains relatively obscure and doesn't feel very connected to the original.
