Prime Video's action-packed remake, Road House, from director Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow), brings the pain with larger-than-life characters inspired by the '80s classic starring Patrick Swayze. This reimagining offers fans of the original a stylized fight movie that doesn't hold its punches, and Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to sit down with Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Elwood Dalton this time around.

In the movie, Dalton is a UFC star who's fallen from grace. Down on his luck, he's offered a position as a bouncer for a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. Frankie, played by Jessica Williams (Shrinking), needs someone to defend her bar from the local motorcycle gangs. The violence goes beyond roughhousing and rough-around-the-edges characters, and Frankie will need Dalton's help to secure her establishment from Ben Brandt's (Billy Magnussen) criminal empire. Road House also stars real-life UFC star Conor McGregor, award-winning rapper, singer, and producer Post Malone, Daniela Melchior (Fast X), and more.

Check out the interview with Gyllenhaal in the video above or in the transcript below to find out who the actor believes would win in a Dalton face-off, him or Swayze. He also discusses training, working with McGregor and what they learned from one another, how filming this compares to Antoine Fuqua's Southpaw (2015), and if he'd return for a Road House sequel.
