Top 6 Most Bad-Ass Patrick Swayze Roles
December 3, 2008

Back in March, Hollywood star Patrick Swayze was given only 5 weeks to live due to a nasty bout with pancreatic cancer. But one life lesson you must learn is that although he’s down, you must never, ever, count Swayze out.

Because of his role as a prancing, dancing fairy in Dirty Dancing many assume that Swayze is a effeminate wuss - but that is not the case. In fact, he’s one of the most bad-ass superstars in all of Hollywood… and here are 6 definitive reasons why.

6. “Vida Boheme” in To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Patrick Swayze. In drag. Dancing and kicking ass. If you haven’t seen To Wong Foo, that’s ok - you should never see it, unless watching Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo sass it up is your idea of entertainment. On second thought, this SHOULD be your idea of entertainment. “I’m am hereby stripping you of all your Princess Points.” Eternal.

5. SNL - Chippendale Dancer w/ Chris Farley

In this classic SNL skit Swayze proves that he’s a good sport and can make fun of himself, unlike all those other pompous Hollywood stars.

4. “Darrel ‘Darry’ Curtis” in The Outsiders

In The Outsiders Swayze plays Darrel, leader of “the Greasers,” a gang of poor kids who have an all-out turf war in Tulsa, Oklahoma with their pretty boy rivals, “the Socs.” If you don’t know what any of that means, rent the damn movie.

3. “Jed” in Red Dawn

Red Dawn is a mid 80’s movie about a bunch of high school kids in a small town. When Russia invades the US and takes over their town Swayze leads his buddies into the mountains to hide out, ultimately fighting the Russians with deer rifles. Do they win? Of course they do - but not before Swayze drinks a whole bunch of deer blood and yelling “wolverines” every time he pops a commie.

2. “James Dalton” in Road House

Swayze comes to the rescue of a seedy Missouri bar, the Double Deuce, as its top bouncer, to save the venue (and the entire town) from evil businessman Brad Wesley - and the awesome doesn’t stop until the end credits roll. The whole thing is pretty much a giant bar fight, along with some great T&A, some explosions, a monster truck and an unreasonable number of knife fights. (Seriously, why does only one person in the whole town have a gun?) If there’s a bad part to this movie, we’re yet to see it.

1. “Bodhi” in Point Break

Swayze plays a professional surfer who, in the off season, is a member of the “ex-presidents,” a crew of mask-wearing bank robbers - but you already knew this. From befriending his worst enemy, Special Agent Utah (Keanu Reeves), just to lead him on a wild goose chase, Bodhi is 100% pure adrenaline. Thank God Point BreakBack Mountain isn’t the truth.

    I hope he lives long enough to admit in Court
    that the special effects used in the motion picture point break contained carcinogens lead azide, lead styphnate and PETN.
    The next generation shouldn't have to suffer.

    Hi! I was a pro se litigant and at one point the Supreme Court
    of the U.S. has some docket info on their public website,
    then it disappeared. I filed three petitions which were all
    docketed and denied, and the defendants only filed a waiver.
    Do you have any record of the three peitions I filed and the
    defendants waiver?
    Cris Ericson Docket# 99-6899 U.S. Supreme Court
    97 Civ 3081 (TPG) U.S.D.C./SDNY
    94-4630(RMT) U.S.D.C./Central California
    and underlying California State courts,
    and the problem is that in 1999 I received an F.B.I.
    Freedom of Info act report allegedly stating they
    expunged and destroyed material in my case.
    I am missing some of my original documents.
    This is an explosives case.
    It was on Westlaw and Federal Bankruptcy Law Reporter,
    but I am poor and live in a small town with no
    law library. Westlaw may have removed it.
    It was also on Federal Register April 15, 1997
    EPA response to citizen petition against Lead Azide
    (I'm the citizen). The USDC/SDNY federal judge used
    the term "chemical weapons" in his published opinion.
    The celebrity actor who threw the explosives special
    effects at me died of cancer, Patrick Swayze. The case
    should be re-opened on the Courts own motion, Rule 60,
    if I can get some case citations, because all of the
    judges violated federal right to know laws concerning
    the three federally regulated toxic hazardous substances,
    Lead Azide, Lead Styphnate and PETN, and there was no
    evidence that Patrick Swayze knew that Lead Azide is
    MORE carcinogenic BEFORE it detonates. Before Lead
    Azide detonates it can cause cancer in a two hour
    industrial exposure. When it detonates the exothermic
    decomposition products are lead dust and lead fumes.
    The published federal court opinion fails to acknowledge
    in statement of facts that these three chemicals are
    federally regulated toxic hazardous substances, and fails
    to admit that all the judges refused to allow me to
    add the special effects officer as a defendant and the
    special effects officer detonated the special effects with
    a lead wire to a fuse box.
    THESE THREE CHEMICALS ARE COMPONENTS OF IMPROVISED
    EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, I DID NOT KNOW THAT IN 1999. THIS
    CASE NEEDS TO BE RE-OPENED TO SAVE OUR SOLDIERS BECAUSE
    ONE SOURCE TOLD ME THESE TYPES OF EXPLOSIVE ARE BEING
    SOLD OVERSEAS AS WEAPONS. LEAD AZIDE, LEAD STYPHNATE AND
    PETN SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AS "SPECIAL EFFECTS".
    Please help me find the right cases to cite to help me
    apply to get the Supreme Court of the U.S. to re-open
    this case on their own motion.
