Roadhouse was always one of my guilty pleasures.
Swayze seemed like a stand up guy. Pancreatic Cancer is one of the more painful ways to go.

I hear they're remaking Red Dawn but instead of Russians, it'll be Red Chinese. Maybe they'll be wushu fights. We can only hope.

Uber-cool dude.
His fight scene in Gross Pointe Blank with is student John Cuzak was great.

Man! I forgot he was a teacher to the hollywood stars.
I saw this documentary on him a while back on youtube, and it was crazy - I've always known and read about him in the 80's, how he'd basically go to other countries and kick their arse in the ring, so I expected him to be a super intense guy.
Totally mellow and laid back in his interview.
I think I also read somewhere that Jackie Chan wanted to challenge him, but then saw footage of his real fights, and said Eff that!

I was sorry to hear about Patrick Swayze's passing. Oddly, when I heard about it, I kept imagining the very end scene in Ghost when his character finally crosses over.
