The film Road House might seem like it was thrown together haphazardly, but a lot of prep work and effort went into its production. For example, the Double Deuce, Red's Auto Store and the barn that Dalton lives in were built specifically for the film.
Even Kelly Lynch got into her role. Kelly spent a month in an emergency room, learning how they operate. She also spent time with a doctor, learning how to stitch up an injury. When production started, she eagerly anticipated using her newly learned skills. Unfortunately for Kelly, however, most of her hospital scenes were cut from the film and she was given a surgical staple gun to use instead of sutures. Ms. Lynch considered her month long stint in the emergency room to be a waste of time.
