OT Best 80's Movie Round 1 MTV Region Rocky III/IV vs Roadhouse

(3) Rocky III / Rocky IV — Franchise Rule vs. (14) Road House
(3) Rocky III / Rocky IV — Franchise Rule
Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, Survivor, training montages, enormous wealth, robots, James Brown, Cold War rivalry, patriotism, and pure excess make these films a concentrated formula for 1980s popular culture. Rather than allowing two similar sequels to occupy separate positions, they combine under the Franchise Rule to represent Rocky at his most unmistakably ’80s.
(14) Road House (1989)
Patrick Swayze, barroom fights, outrageous villains, martial arts, mullets, blues music, and endlessly quotable dialogue helped Road House grow from a modest release into a major cult favorite. Its exaggerated masculinity and late-’80s action style make it impossible to mistake for a movie from another decade.

I'm impressed that Road House pulled as many votes as it did, but Rocky Balboa literally won the cold war with a boxing match. What could be more 80s than that?

Max votes we've had is 16 I think, so I'd say this one is done.  Called in favor of the Rockys.  

Somewhere out there, the ghost of Patrick Swayze's mullet lies weeping, but that's the way it goes.
