    Anyone who has seen the unintentionally hilarious 1989 action movie Road House knows that the movie deserved to win Academy Awards. If Patrick Swayze can’t win an Oscar for his powerhouse performance as Dalton, the best bouncer in the business, then what’s the point of Hollywood’s biggest night?

    Of course, nothing I said above is serious, and the film is essentially a by-the-numbers ’80s action movie, but what if the film was marketed for awards season? This fan-made trailer shows how Road House could’ve been an Oscar contender.

    The mix of many of the film’s corny lines and the prestigious trailer music you’d hear in a movie like Forrest Gump makes this YouTube video a riot. However, for maximum enjoyment, check out Road House if you’re looking for the real laughs.

    I'm also not so sure the hilarity in Road House is unintentional.
