Patrick Swayze’s Most Bad-Ass Hollywood Roles

With his reps confirming that Hollywood star Patrick Swayze has only 5 weeks to live due to a nasty bout with Pancreatic Cancer, we have decided to show you 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 5 definitive reasons why.

“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.

“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.

“Darrel ‘Darry’ Curtis” in The Outsiders

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, watch the trailer below and rent the damn movie.

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.

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

The Outsiders

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.

    What…no Dalton from Road House? He single handedly beat and killed a whole town to save the rest of the town. And what about Derek Sutton from Youngblood? Hockey players are as badass as you get. These lines alone should give him the nod.

    Derek Sutton: Does little boom-boom have a crush on her?
    Dean Youngblood: [sarcastically] Who? Miss McGill?
    Derek Sutton: Fuck you.

    I’m with Mike; not having Roadhouse in this list is a joke.

Miss COED: Danygirl

You know, every time I see a super hot chick who’s decided to devote her life to stripping down for the betterment of mankind, it brings a little tear to my eye. (Yes, I cry when I’m horny. So what?) And that goes for this 23-year-old, super-bodacious brunette beauty, “Dannygirl.” The California native has modeled for a ton of events and a few publications. But if you ask us, that body needs to be everywhere.
