For what?

Moreover, the man whom US magazine readers voted the ‘sexiest male star’’ turns\ out to be courtly, articulate and strong-minded So strong-minded that the 36-year- old actor wouldn't do an encore as Dirty Dancing’s smouldering dance instructor Johnny Castle unless the sequel included the other creative talent from the original low-budget movie Now, after a late-night round of negotiating with Vestron Pictures, Swayze is confident a sequel could be in production by Christmas ‘THEY SNAPPE “Yeah, they finally snapped after wasting a lot of money and contract- ing six other scripts,"’ he says, shaking his head “They wanted to believe that it was me that made that work. But it wasn't, it was Jennifer (Gray), it was everybody. And I feel so strongly about that that | won't do it without them. **Besides, all of us care too much about that movie to see it messed with.’ Which leads one to wonder wheth- er Swayze is messing with his image in Road House. MGM-UA's violent summer movie which stars the im mensely likable actor as a cold-blood- ed bouncer with deadly martial-arts skills, Dalton, the Swayze character, is one emotionally distant dude, who barely speaks and uses his talented feet for kick-boxing rather than dancing So what's a former dancer with Joffrey Ballet — Swayze is a classic- ally_trained- dancer — d in Road time people think they Have me aged, I'm going to come out in left field and do something they wouldn't expect.” he answers. Swayze would even have us believe that his Texas boyhood introduced him to the bloody bar fights pictured in Road House. “I grew up with this stuff,’ says Swayze, although his smooth face doesn't appear to have spent its formative years in intimate contact with flying beer bottles. “ * he goes on. *‘Figl Where if a fight hadn't broken out by midnight you'd start fighting with your friends.”” His mother was a ballet teacher, but. growing up in Texas with a grandfather who was a ranch fore man introduced Swayze to the cow- boy life. When not on location for a movie, he lives on a secluded Califor- nia ranch with actress Lisa Niemi, his wife of 13 years. ANTI-VIOLENCE? Swayze also maintains that Road House, in which he rips a man’s throat out, is anti-violence **We all wanted to see if we could take a violent movie and turn it into an anti-violent movie."* Breaking in a smile, Swayze adds, ‘‘Which pretty hard to do in Road House.’ As for the . breathtaking. action scenes, which include tackling a man on a speeding motorcycle, Swayze, the all-round -athlete, did his own stunts, He learned the tough stuff from kick-boxer Benny Urquidez, but the martial arts moves weren't new to him As a kid in Houston, his mom's dan studio was next door to the black belt studio, and. young Swayze learned judo and karate in exchange for his mom teaching ballet to the judo instructor's children Still, Swayze admits that psyching himself up for the throat-ripping scene was an unsettling walk on the dark side of his own psyche “It's scary when you get in touch with that thing. Because all of a sudden you have an understanding of how murder and crime exist.” Swayze says he won't be pegged But things will lighten up for Swayze and his fans He has completed Next of Kin, a story about relationships in which he plays a Chicago cop. Next he stars in Ghost, a supernatural comedy about a banker who refuses to believe he's dead, which sounds like an old Cary Grant flick "That was real exciting,” bubbles about the Ghost role “Because director Jerry Zucker didn’t know if I could pull it off, so I had to go in and read for it. 1 was scared to death and I decided to fight for it, because I wanted the role.” Swayze That's not all Patrick Swayze wants,éThe megastar also wants to win his peers' recognition as an actor. “You know, I'm tired of going up on those Academy Awards and feel ing like a novelty,”’ jokes Swayze, who introduced a salute to the movie musicals at this year’s Oscar show “I've never said it, ‘cause it's supposed to be bad luck, but I'm going to try for an Oscar."

CELGAR ICO MEAL TICKETS Sm motion picture debut against an army of sequels in the battle for filmgoers* dollars during the peak movie season between the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. j Indiana Jones, the Ghostbusters, and Captain Kirk of the starship Enterprise are all hoping to repeat past box-office successes and outgun Batman as the summer's No. 1 film Industry analysts are predicting record business at theatres across the United States, and studio marketers have been busy for months trying to ensure they are right. In the case of at least one famous studio, its very survival may be at stake “It has the potential to be at least a near-record summer,” said Phil Garfinkle, senior vice-president of Entertainment Data Inc The record was set last summer when moviegoers spent a total of $1.6 billion at the box office.

Columbia Pictures’ Ghostbusters sequel features the same cast — including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver — as the original, which was the most success ful comedy of all time. grossing over $220 million The list of other sequels is so long that Roman numerals will be as prominent at movie theatres this summer as popcorn They include Star Trek V — The Final Frontier, Lethal Weapon Il, The Karate Kid Part Ill, A Night mare on Elm Street 5, The Dream Child and even Friday the 13th, Part Vill. There is also the immortal James Bond, who is returning for his 16th adventure, License to Kill But Hollywood is also supplying several films to satisfy audiences who actually want to be introduced to characters they have not seen before Most ambitious is The Abyss, a big-budget underwater adventure fi Imed on the site of an abandoned nuclear power plant by the same team that had hits with The Termina- tor and Aliens The Abyss, however, has no big stars and runs the risk of being the sequel to other deep-sea danger films released this year, such as Leviathan and Deep Star Six, that drowned at the box office Other eagerly anticipated summer releases include Great Balls of Fire in which Dennis Quaid plays wild rocker Jerry Lee Lewis, Dead Poets Society, starring Robin Williams as an inspirational teacher, and casual ties of War, which teams Canadian: born Michael J, Fox and Sean Penn in a Vietnam War drama Cable 10 TV SHAW CABLE 10 SCHEDU May 31 June 2, 3, 4 5 p.m. (Wed) 9 a.m. (Fri) 3.30 p.m. (Sun) Columbia River Treaty RICHARD PRYOR a NO EMIL, Sometimes dead is better. ke ne WN Seminar — This seminar was presen ted to the City of Castlegar by Conrad Guelkie, Tim Newton, Ralph .gmge and John Irvine all of whom : B.C.

Imperial Tobacco denies disguising warning label OTTAWA (CP) — Imperial Tobac- co has denied it is trying to play down a health warning it must put on cigarette packages Health groups have complained the color chosen for the new warn- ings on packages of Medallion brand cigarettes make them difficult to read. The warnings ate printed in gold against a pale yellow backgro- und A spokesman for Imperial Tobacco said the warning scrupulously res- spects requirements of the Tobacco Products Control Act “At the time the regulations came out, we asked government officials as to what contrasting colors could mean,” explained Michel Descote aux, Imperial’s director of public relations We were told that as long as we were using one of the other colors that appeared on the package ... it would be appropriate.”’ The newly-designed package drew the ire of groups fighting for stricter regulations on tobacco products “The package has been designed to make it (the warning) hard to see as opposed to designed to make the warning prominent,"" said David Sw eanor, a spokesman for the Non smokers’ Rights Association Regulations of the Tobacco Prod- ucts Control Act require that tobacco companies place prominent health warnings on cigarette packs. in colors in contrast to the package The warnings spell out in blunt terms the dangers of smoking. Four separate warnings — each package must bear one — state that smoking is a major cause of heart disease and lung cancer, reduces life expectancy and can harm a fetus during preg nancy “They're obviously trying to dis- guise this warning, because it's a major shocker."’ said Ken Kyle director of public issues for the Canadian Cancer Society Was Imperial trying to play down the warnings? “All I can say is that we respect scrupulously the text of the regulat- ions, Descoteaux replied The meaning of corttrasting colors is open to interpretation, he said LEGION BRANCH 170 BINGO THURSDAYS Lic.
