Pancreatic cancer. You don't often walk far away from that one, but he lasted longer than most.

#2 Yah, he was defo one of my favorites. Road house was the best appearance ;p
....and yeah, what a dickwad kayne is. -
#3 I'll always remember the Chippendales skit on SNL with Chris Farley. That and ripping a guy's throat out in Roadhouse 😀
R.I.P. -
#4 Road House is the ultimate guy movie. A badass's badass father-figure is murdered, and the badass gets his revenge by tearing out a guys throat in front of his girlfriend and kicking the shit out of half the town. And there were hot chicks table-dancing. And boots with blades in 'em. And a stuffed polar bear falls on a guy. All of it done to the music of Jeff Healey.
Kick ass. Kick. Ass.
The bad guy that gets his throat torn out? Marshall Teague, who played Ta'Lon, G'Kar's bodyguard in Babylon 5. Still more badass. -
#5 For me he had the same cult status as for others John Travolta.
Patrick could dance and fight and had bad ass style in both.
.... and he had nice eyes. -
#6 I went to see that in the theater. I also went to see that Hillbilly revenge movie he did around the same time. Can't remember the name.... Or is that the same movie... I've slept since then.... -

That movie was considered a flop however I friggen loved it. If he could have made more of those than the Ghost crap wouldn't survived ;P He could have been the next Norris 🙂
Also I thought he wasn't aging very well the last couple of decades. He had a TV appearance where he looked terrible. Where Travolta and others got fat, he looks drawn and wrinkled.
btw, speaking of Norris. Last week I saw a video of him speaking in support of the 9/12 project. Hell, he looked the same as ever. http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html. Its featured on the Glenn Beck show.
