Dalton is seen doing Tai chi at one point, although he uses western boxing and mixed martial arts in all the fight scenes.
Movie Goof (continuity error): During the fight in the Double Deuce office, Dalton's shirt is torn and bloody in the exact spot before being slashed by Tinker.
The town Road House is set in is a fictional town 'outside of Kansas City'. As Dalton drives into town, the 'Welcome to Jasper' sign is visible. Jasper, MO IS south of Kansas City, and has numerous rivers running near it (as seen through out the movie). The movie also alludes to 'calling a friend in the FBI in Springfield'. Springfield, MO is just over an hour away from Jasper.
The character of Dalton was named after the town of Dalton, GA. The writer, David Lee Henry, was passing through and stopped at a local bar. The establishment and its patrons left an impression on him, and as a tribute to the town he named the protagonist Dalton.
