00:00 Let's call this a draw.
00:02 What the f*ck is a draw?
00:03 It's kind of like a win, man.
00:05 Like I win?
00:06 It's a tie, dude.
00:07 Yeah, like we win together, you know?
00:09 Oh, f*ck you.
00:10 Hi, I'm Sharonda Williams and I'm here to tell you about the Amazon MGM movie Roadhouse
00:21 and help you meet the characters.
00:23 Don't forget, Roadhouse is now streaming on Prime Video.
00:28 A reimagined of the 1989 cult classic, Roadhouse delivers an action-packed story focusing on
00:34 Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter whose life has been filled with violence and pain.
00:38 Dalton is scouted by Frankie, the owner of a Roadhouse-style bar, who recruits him to
00:42 be her new bouncer.
00:44 Frankie hopes that Dalton will be able to protect her bar from an evil crime boss and
00:48 his dangerous game.
00:49 Now Dalton must put his violent skills to the test to protect the Roadhouse and save
00:53 the town of Glass Keys.
00:56 As a former UFC fighter, Dalton can definitely take a punch and even the stab.
01:01 Dalton's reputation precedes him, causing many to back out from fighting against him.
01:05 He may take a punch or two, but Dalton rarely loses a fight.
01:09 At the beginning of the story, Dalton doesn't have a phone or even a place to stay as he
01:13 sleeps in his car.
01:14 He is not your typical bouncer and is pretty chill as long as you follow the rules.
01:18 If you don't, he might break your arm, but afterwards he will be sure to take you to
01:22 the ER.
01:23 After meeting Frankie, a Roadhouse owner in need of a new bouncer, he heads to Glass Keys
01:27 to take her up on the job offer.
01:29 Ellie is a doctor in Glass Keys who is tired of brawlers filling up her ER, thanks to the
01:34 crime syndicate taking over her town.
01:36 She is dedicated to helping people, but is also hiding secrets from her past.
01:40 Ellie initially sees Dalton as another troublemaker, but soon begins to see there is more to his
01:45 tough exterior.
01:46 Brent is the spoiled son of a wealthy crime boss in Glass Keys, and is the small town's
01:50 main cause of trouble.
01:52 Brent uses his family's money and hires henchmen to cause trouble at the Roadhouse,
01:56 with the goal of putting Frankie out of business.
01:58 Brent's plan is working, that is until Dalton comes to town and starts making life very
02:03 difficult for him.
02:04 Frankie is the owner of the Roadhouse, which has been in her family for generations.
02:08 Her family has a knack for naming things in the literal sense.
02:11 Don't ask about the name Roadhouse.
02:13 Can I ask you a question?
02:15 Sure.
02:16 Why is it called the Roadhouse?
02:22 What do you mean?
02:23 Isn't Roadhouse one word?
02:25 Yeah, that's a joke.
02:27 It's a Roadhouse.
02:29 But it's called the Road...house.
02:31 Get it?
02:32 Still unresolved.
02:34 Well, I don't know, my uncle had a unique sense of humor.
02:38 She cares deeply about her staff in the town of Glass Keys, which is why she hires Dalton
02:42 to protect them from the town villain, Brant, the son of a crime boss wreaking havoc on her
02:47 establishment.
02:48 Knox is a muscle for hire who loves to have fun, especially when it involves getting a
02:52 little messy.
02:53 He loves to go clubbing both literally and figuratively.
02:56 Knox has a crazy sense of humor and doesn't respect anyone's boundaries.
03:00 He is hired to assist Brant with taking down the Roadhouse and proves to be a worthy and
03:04 difficult match for Dalton.
03:06 Billy is a bartender at the Roadhouse.
03:08 Don't let the sweet face fool you.
03:10 Billy isn't afraid to break up a fight or two.
03:12 When Dalton starts working at the Roadhouse, Billy begins to learn some of his skills so
03:16 he can take on the rowdy patrons himself.
03:18 And most importantly, Dalton helps give Billy the confidence to become a better bouncer
03:23 and fighter.
03:24 Carter is a popular figure in the underground fighting rings, which ends up getting the
03:28 attention of Frankie all the way in Florida.
03:30 He is a badass tattoo fighter who can take out almost anyone until he meets former UFC
03:35 fighter Dalton.
03:36 Sam is another one of Brant's henchmen and isn't very good at his job.
03:40 Sam is more interested in how he can get himself ahead rather than helping Brant run his prime
03:45 business.
03:46 Reef is recruited by Dalton to help him at the Roadhouse.
03:49 As Reef studies under Dalton, he becomes even better at taking care of the troublemakers
03:53 at the bar.
03:54 Jack is one of Brant's henchmen, helping to drive patrons away from the Roadhouse.
03:58 He always follows orders no matter how bad they may be and will do whatever it takes
04:02 to make his boss happy.
04:04 Del is also a part of Brant's group of crazy henchmen.
04:07 He is the ringleader causing trouble every night at the Roadhouse.
04:10 That is, until Dalton slaps some sense into him.
04:13 Moe is one of Brant's henchmen who has been tasked with hassling the Roadhouse.
04:16 He is an interesting character as he always has helpful responses to share, even when
04:20 it's for the wrong team.
04:21 He is a nice guy mixed up with some bad people.
04:24 Laura is another bartender at the Roadhouse.
04:26 Don't ask her for a regular coffee because you won't get it.
04:30 She is a nice person and is willing to help anyone, including Dalton, who gives her hope
04:34 the Roadhouse can be a safe and enjoyable place once again.
04:37 Charlie owns a bookstore called Glass Books and can tell you almost anything about the
04:41 history of Glass Keys.
04:42 She has a fun spirit and can recommend the perfect book to relate to your life.
04:46 Charlie loves her hometown of Glass Keys and isn't afraid to stand up to any one of the
04:50 town bullies who wants to ruin it.
04:52 And that concludes this Roadhouse edition of Meet the Characters.
04:55 Thanks for watching and don't forget, Roadhouse is now streaming on Prime Video.
