The Road House remake is a pretty dumb and cheesy but self-aware movie, which I think is about what everyone expected from it. Whatever you thought about it though, this is a pretty cool behind-the-scenes look at the final fight scene between Conor McGregor and Jake Gyllenhaal, and an interesting look at how they make action movies in general:

Nice to know Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor could handle their own stunts, and cool to see them improvise some moments that made it into the final cut too. Reminds me of the sort of behind-the-scenes bonus footage we used to get on DVDs of movies back in the day. Plus, one of the stunt coordinators has an eye patch! Doesn’t get much more bad@ss than that…
I won’t spoil the movie for anyone but it’s pretty much what it says it on the tin if you want something fun and unserious to watch for a couple hours.
