Famous Last Words Beyond Thunderdome: Week 2

Posted by Paul Clark

After the e-Mail fiasco of the first week, the latest round of Famous Last Words got off to a strong start last week. And in keeping with the usual tradition of starting with an easy quote, few of you had any trouble placing the final line of the cult classic Road House. The subject of one of Onion A.V. Club critic Scott Tobias’ most memorable New Cult Canon appreciations to date, Road House is few people's idea of a good movie. Yet it’s got a cheeseball charm that has turned it into a reliable bit of cinematic comfort food- not to mention a basic-cable favorite, even if TNT does bleep out such memorable lines as “I used to fuck guys like you in prison!” Given star Patrick Swayze’s recent health woes, it’s somehow comforting to look back at a time when the Swayz was known less for having cancer than for dropping such Meathead-Zen wisdom as “pain don’t hurt” and “nobody ever wins in a fight” into a movie in which he removes a man’s throat with his bare hands.

This week, we switch gears to something a little more… refined:

“Will you come in please? I wish to talk to you.”

E-Mail your guesses to famouslastwords@nerve.com. Remember, all guesses are due no later than 11:59 PM Eastern on Wednesday night. Good luck!
