Road House is committed to a good time.
Summary Road House follows Dalton, a former UFC fighter struggling to make ends meet as he attempts to escape the violence of his past. Frankie, the owner of a roadhouse in the Florida Keys, recruits him to protect her establishment from a violent gang as the new bouncer. When Dalton proves to be impossible to beat for the gang crime boss, Brandt brings gun-for-hire Knox into play, making Dalton's life after his career in the Octagon more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
Jake Gyllenhaal: I loved Patrick and still do, and his wife Lisa is so lovely. They always have been supportive of me. They were at that time, and then after the movie. He's had a really big heart, and I love these movies - so many of them. Point Break, Dirty Dancing - all of those films. I was raised by him in the cinema.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, yeah. I don't think I need to answer that question. I learned a lot from him, and it was interesting because I was intimidated when we first started. The first scene we ever shot together was the headbutt in the movie. We were face-to-face and he does his line, and then he headbutts me and the fight starts. I remember thinking, "Oh, my God. It's Conor McGregor. Oh, God.
Conor McGregor: Let's see. Have you watched the movie yet? See what happens. I don't know. Let's see. It was a fun time. All of this is fun; all this is pretty cool. Late nights, early mornings, no sleeping. Throwing yourself off a speeding bow in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean at speed, and then holding on to an anchor as you get dragged under the sea. All that stuff is amazing, so let's see.
Lukas Gage: Prior to this? I'm not gonna lie, I saw it when I got the audition. I never saw it before, and I'm ashamed of it. I know everyone's gonna give me s--t for it. But we're all human. Now, I love the movie. I love it. It's an iconic film. Billy Magnussen: I think it's the most non-Hollywood Hollywood movie. That's what I love about it. It is just a good time. I think something happened, where the industry focused on coastal states or something. They forgot about middle . The entertainment industry, a little bit, has forgotten about it. That's what the original is. If you look at the story on paper, you're like, "What?" But then you just go on a journey for two hours, and you have fun.
Dominique Columbus: It's not a complete remake; it's a fresh take on it. I feel like a lot of remakes have come out, and nowadays, people still want that freshness. It's like, "Why are you giving us the exact same thing we already saw?"
