)Agreed. I'll always remember his role as Orry Maine in the North and South mini-series from the 80s, that's what first sparked my interest in the Civil War.Cail wrote:Not a great actor, but I do love, Red Dawn, Road House and Point Break. Definately an icon for my generation.
A man so seductive that when he tells Jewish parents, "I want to make it with your daughter in public," the mother restrains the father saying, "I want to watch this!"
That is superb!Cail wrote:Best. Tribute. Ever.
"Pain Don't Hurt"
OK it doesn't make a lick of sense, but let's see you do better when trying to impress a hot, blond doctor with a ponytail and a staple gun. Swayze was pulling a man out of a burning building without even a shirt, never mind any pussy protective gear (making him cooler than firefighters, the top female fantasy before Swayzification), catching a speeding motorbike on foot (cooler than: the T1000, which fell off the car it was chasing), kicking the pistol out of gunman's hand in the manner self-defense experts tell you is impossible (cooler than: every self-defense expert) and ripping a violent killer's goddamn throat out (cooler than: that pussy Dracula who only targets sleeping women). In the same fight his enemy gets his leg caught in a tree allowing Patrick to kick him in the balls, aka "Swayze is so badass Mother Nature herself helps him deliver epic nut-shots."
Patrick Swayze remembered by crew of 'One Last Dance,' filmed in Wpg
By Steve Lambert (CP) – 1 day ago
WINNIPEG — Patrick Swayze was 50 when he filmed the movie "One Last Dance," about a fictional New York dance company, in Winnipeg in 2002. Over several months, he kept pace with dancers roughly half his age, and displayed a caring personality that belied Hollywood star stereotypes, says a member of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
"He always asked us how we were doing, because the shooting went till 1 or 2 o'clock at night, so the first priority was always the dancers - if we were OK," the ballet company's Yosuke Mino said Tuesday, one day after Swayze's death following a battle with pancreatic cancer.
"To me, Patrick Swayze is still the Patrick Swayze that I danced with, so it's still hard for me to believe he's passed away."
"One Last Dance" was based on a play written a decade earlier by Swayze's wife, Lisa Niemi, who also directed and starred in the film. It is not nearly as well-known as "Dirty Dancing" and other Swayze projects, but "One Last Dance" meant a lot to the actor, said Phyllis Laing, whose Winnipeg-based company Buffalo Gal Pictures co-produced the film.
"Patrick and Lisa were very passionate about dance, and it was a film they had been dreaming about doing for a number of years," said Laing. "He is very down-to-earth. He is truly a family guy."
The film required Swayze to learn contemporary dance moves that were very different from the steps in "Dirty Dancing." He adapted quickly, learning steps from ballet members, said Mino.
"He did really, really well," Mino said. "He was actually inspiring for us to be around. ... The only thing I had to do was dance, but for him, to learn the choreography and the lines was quite a bit of work, but he's amazing."
Winnipeg's infamous cold weather didn't faze Swayze.
"It was a beautiful thing," Swayze said during a 2005 interview while promoting the film. "For anyone with injuries, all you had to do was lay in the snow to take the swelling down."
