Road
House
was
made
for
lovers
of
muscles,
mayhem,
and
Jake
Gyllenhaal
who
faces
off
against
former
UFC
superstar
Conor
McGregor
and
his
gang
of
goons
in
the
bonkers
trailer
for
the
buzzy
remake.
Check
it
out
below.
In
this
rowdy
reimagining
of
the
’80s
cult
classic
starring
Patrick
Swayze,
“ex-UFC
fighter
Dalton
(Jake
Gyllenhaal)
takes
a
job
as
a
bouncer
at
a
Florida
Keys
roadhouse
only
to
discover
that
this
paradise
is
not
all
it
seems,”
per
the
official
synopsis.
Directed
by
Doug
Liman,
the
latest
Prime
Video
blockbuster
boasts
an
ensemble
cast
including
Jessica
Williams,
Daniela
Melchior,
Billy
Magnussen,
Jessica
Williams,
Joaquim
de
Almeida,
Conor
McGregor,
Lukas

“Road
House
tested
higher
than
my
biggest
box
office
hit
Mr.
and
Mrs
Smith,”
said
Liman
in
an
interview
with
EW.
“It
tested
higher
than
Bourne
Identity,
which
spawned
four
sequels.”
“I’m
told
the
press
response
has
been
Amazon’s
best
since
they
bought
MGM.
Road
House
has
a
strong
tie-in
to
the
UFC
which
has
a
rabid
and
loyal
fan
base
that
has
spawned
over
1.5
billion
social
media
impressions
for
the
film,
and
marketing
hasn’t
even
started
yet.”
Liman,
who’s
known
for
his
sharp
action
sequences,
also
had
sharp
words
about
the
film
not
being
shown
in
theaters.
“If
we
don’t
put
tentpole
movies
in
movie
theaters,
there
won’t
be
movie
theaters
in
the
future,”
he
added.
“Movies
like
Road
House,
people
actually
want
to
see
on
the
big
screen,
and
it
was
made
for
the
big
screen.
Without
movie
theaters,
we
won’t
have
the
commercial
box
office
hits
that
are
the
locomotives
that
allow
studios
to
take
gambles
on
original
movies
and
new
directors.
Without
movie
theaters
we
won’t
have
movie
stars.”

House
