Kate has a keen interest in volunteering for animal shelters and when she isn’t lifting weights in her garden, she can be found walking her rescue dog. Climbing up on a causeway, Knox carjacks a pickup truck and crashes into the Road House, leading to a brutal fistfight with Dalton. When Brandt orders him to kill Dalton, Knox snaps Brandt's neck instead. He prepares to finish off Dalton with a shard of wood, but Dalton gains the upper hand and repeatedly stabs Knox into submission, leaving him for dead. Stealing a bomb-laden motorboat to reach Brandt's catamaran yacht, Dalton finds him with the sheriff, who tells him the kidnapping was a lie to lure Dalton aboard.

The training that goes into this..." Jimmy Fallon said, as he showed a pic of a shirtless Gyllenhaal getting ready to fight in the ring. “I began to see how good all the actors are and how skilled they are and how believable,” McGregor says. “And then I thought, ‘Jeez, I'm not an actor here … It's going to stand out really obvious that I’m the new guy, or I just don't know what I'm doing. The first scene the two shot together is seen in the trailer when Knox headbutts Dalton at the bar.

With so much UFC street cred on board, the film is unsurprisingly going to great lengths to portray the mixed martial arts league with as much accuracy as possible. Jake Gyllenhaal is currently shooting a remake of “Road House,” the classic 1989 film about Patrick Swayze working as a bouncer at a small Missouri bar. The new, Doug Liman-directed film gives the story a modern update, with Gyllenhaal playing a former UFC fighter who takes over security for a bar in the Florida Keys. Gyllenhaal stars in the 2024 Road House as Dalton, a former UFC fighter who becomes a bouncer at a seedy roadhouse in the Florida Keys.

"The funny part is that he had unlearn how to fight," Gyllenhaal said. "To learn how to fake fight is a whole other skill. We had to even slow it down." McGregor shared an Instagram video of Gyllenhaal and him receiving a shout-out in the stands during the event. The “Ambulance” star, 42, made a surprise appearance at a UFC 285 event in Las Vegas on March 4. Gyllenhaal and Hieron also faced off in the ring, pretending to dodge and pummel each other as the director called out cues and the audience went wild. Another clip from the event shows a camera crew following Gyllenhaal as he strutted into the arena wearing UFC warm-up gear.

Like the source material, it features plenty of action-packed scenes, including one that led to Gyllenhaal actually getting punched in the face by McGregor. Gyllenhaal plays Elwood Dalton in the reboot, and looked absolutely shredded when he weighed in for his fictional middleweight title bout against champ Jax Harris, played by former mixed martial artist and UFC fighter, Jay Hieron. However, not all was as it seemed, as the 42-year-old actor was actually filming a faux fight for a remake of the 1989 cult classic film, Road House, starring Patrick Swayze.
Tempers flare as Knox approaches in his boat, but Dalton detonates the motorboat and finds Ellie below deck, attempting to smash a window. Fleeing the sinking yacht, Brandt recaptures Ellie while Dalton commandeers Knox's boat. Catching up to Brandt, Dalton and Ellie leap off as Brandt is launched on top of the Road House.
More From the Los Angeles Times
The UFC's involvement in the 'Road House remake' sets it apart from the original 1989 flick starring Patrick Swayze, however there is one key element that remains the same about the film and the UFC was close to not having it. The Nightcrawler actor was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 18 to talk about starring in a remake of the 1989 Road House starring Patrick Swayze. Not many people could go from fighting UFC Champion Conor McGregor to starring in Shakespeare on Broadway alongside Denzel Washington, but Jake Gyllenhaal has the range. While filming that first scene, McGregor kept brawling, unaware they weren’t being filmed.
While filming “Road House,” a remake of the 1989 hit film, Gyllenhaal walked to the octagon looking absolutely shredded while playing the character of Elwood Dalton. “There’s just a focus and you have that before any sort of live event. I just tried to emulate what I’ve seen and studied other fighters and studied those walkouts. They’re all so different, and then you start to realize it’s really about the individual, and each individual doesn’t need to come out as so tough. They come out however they want to come out, and they’re fierce however they’re fierce.
The action may have been staged, but Gyllenhaal and Hieron definitely made their fight look like the real deal, throwing punches and knocking each other down in the cage, all in front of the real-life UFC crowd. Nevertheless, according to the T-Mobile Arena website, this welterweight encounter is arguably the hottest fight of the summer. Along with Gyllenhaal, 43, Presumed Innocent stars Ruth Negga as Gyllenhaal's wife, Renate Reinsve as his mistress, along with Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard and O-T Fagbenle. "I can’t stop thinking about her," he says of Carolyn, his mistress, before scenes flash of police cars and a crime scene.

He is approached by Frankie, the owner of an unruly roadhouse in the Florida Keys community of Glass Key, who offers him a job as head bouncer. Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. "It was late because we shot a lot of these fight scenes at night so it was like 3 a.m. and he was talking to me really close," he continued. "And he was like, 'Yeah, that left hook looks good, but then when you do it' Boom! And he hit me by mistake." During UFC 285 in March 2023, Gyllenhaal made a surprise appearance at the weigh-ins and on fight night when he recorded scenes for the film with UFC veteran Jay Hieron in front of a live audience.
'Road House' is available to watch on Prime Video on Thursday, Mar. 21. "Over five months, every single day, twice a day you just start learning the techniques. It took me two months to get the speed bag and feel confident with the speed bag." While the Donnie Dark and Brokeback Mountain star is yet to divulge all the details about his approach for Road House, one look at his fanatical workout plan for Southpaw gives an insight into what it takes to be sculpted like a Greek god. Gyllenhaal is no stranger to putting himself through the wringer for a role, having allegedly ran 12 miles a day to get in shape for 2014's Nightcrawler. Footage even captured him securing a highlight-reel flying knee ‘knockout’.
Gyllenhaal also attended a weigh-in before the event with Hieron and Conor McGregor, an Irish mixed martial artist who’s also set to appear in the movie. Directed by Doug Liman, the upcoming “Road House” movie is based on the ‘80s cult classic of the same name starring Patrick Swayze as a bar bouncer with a violent past. Daniela Melchior and Billy Magnussen are also among the cast of the “Road House” revival. To make matters even more challenging, hotel room rates for the weekend of June 29, which culminates with UFC International Fight Week, aren't too kind either.
"The first line where he says, 'Do you have insurance?' I think, to me, is a genuine question, and it really made me laugh. (That whole sequence) is the reason I wanted to play the character." Jake Gyllenhaal is fully committed to his upcoming role as an MMA fighter.

At the movie’s South By Southwest festival premiere last week, Post Malone revealed to a packed theater his nerves about tackling the project, worrying, “There's no Auto-Tune for acting.” It’s a fear that McGregor shares for his first role. With UFC star Conor McGregor announcing from off-stage, the two actors followed the script and took their turns flexing on the scale and then faced off as fighters do. Hieron does some chirping before Gyllenhaal slaps him in the face and a scuffle ensues. You'll now receive the top MMA Junkie stories each day directly in your inbox. "He’s definitely kind of the stillest, and most confident in his stillness, that I’ve ever played," Gyllenhaal said. "One of the things I took from the original film and from Mr. Swayze was this kind of real confidence in observation.
UFC fans made their way to Las Vegas on Saturday night for UFC 285, an event headlined by the highly anticipated heavyweight fight between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane. But the sporting events weren’t the only action on display, as Gyllenhaal was seen shooting scenes from “Road House” against the backdrop of the UFC festivities. In addition to Gyllenhaal, the film also stars UFC legends Jay Hieron and Conor McGregor, who is making his screen acting debut on the project.
