Patrick Swayze (in Roadhouse) vs. MacGyver??
Okay, I'm sick of hearing about Chuck Norris. Let's take two other highly-respectable, highly-macho guys, and put them together in a cage match in the octagon: the cunning MacGyver, or the bar-brawling James Dalton (Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse).
Who comes out on top, and why. (Yes, you must justify your answer.) I will tally the score, analyze the arguments and select the all-time winner Sunday evening. O'Doyle rules.

I saw Roadhouse (MANY times) but I didnt watch the tv show so I cant really comment...I just wanted to say your O'Doyle rules statement was awesome
If I had to pick I'd say Dalton because Wade would have found someway to help him out

I like that Phil knows Mac's first name.
And shame on you Shani for not watching MacGyver. I think you'd enjoy them. (some are out on dvd) I don't think MacGyver would be classified as a macho type man. He's more cerebral. In a straight up fight, fast and furious, Dalton would mop the floor with Mac. Give Mac some time and room to maneuver, and I believe the glove would be on the other hand.

MacGyver all the way.
Dalton rushes in with a right jab to the jaw, MacGyver goes down. As Dalson moves in for a few rib shots, MacGyver pulls out a pen and shoots Dalton with a rudementary projectile weapon. Dalton falls back, dazed and injured. MacGyver suddenly spots Jack Dalton, and becomes desperatly confused, because there are now two J. Daltons. This allows James Dalton to jump to his feet. MacGyver solves a 2000 year old puzzle and constructs a laser, despite the laser not being invented until 1957 by Charles Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow, which MacGyver knows. As James Dalton moves in for the kill, the laser vaporizes him. MacGyver says something clever to Pete, the screen freezes, and the series was created by Lee David Zlotoff and executive produced by Henry Winkler. Why did MacGyver win? Because MacGyver is so famous, he is a slang verb. I MacGyvered this post, in fact. |
