Dalton and Knox Hit It Off | Road House | Prime Video 

He was surprisingly good in that role. But the nature of his character, and the whole thing is more of an homage to the first film than anything else. Very "purposefully b movie" in tone. This movie makes a point to lead you into what looks like a dark moment and forces you into a comedic or light moment. Honestly the whole movie was refreshing. Movies are too gritty these days. they try to be too dark or too hyper realistic (focus on the "try to be" part). My partner and I really had a great time last night watching it. It was just "fun" and it's pretty self aware about that being the goal and focus of that script. This movie felt like a palette cleanser for the last decade of "MUST MAKE ALL ACTION MOVIES BRUTAL" films we've pretty much exclusively exposed to for the last few years.

a complete D Bag? no....he is just a punk

Guy ruined it for me. A terrible choice to do whatever he was going for. Austin Powers Bond villain type shit.

@@jatilq If you were looking for gritty realism, this movie goes out of it's way NOT to be that. This was an homage to the 80's action movie in how it was written. Purposefully light hearted. Go watch The Raid: Redemption if you want gritty realism in fights. That's not what this movie was supposed to be. The movie even has a running joke about how everyone goes to that bar to pick fights. Like someone put something in the water. Judge the movie on what it is, not what it isn't.

I don't even think they gave him a script. I bet the director just gave him a beer and said: think of it as a fight promotion.

Then why is he delivering every line like a shockingly bad actor that ruined a barely okay movie?

@@shakesfirst2443 he’s lived that life he needs no drama class for this 😂

@Zero8880 tough guy actors need no acting experience cuz their just playing as themselves

@@Angelo-yr1en Yeah he does. He's terrible. And you liked your own comment didn't you? It seems like the sort of thing a Conor McGregor fan would do.

@@Angelo-yr1en My god you are thick. He sucked in the role because he can't act. He isn't playing himself, he was playing a character named Knox really badly. His stupid chimpanzee walk and terrible delivery of his lines and that stupid look on his face he thought was menacing. All of it sucked.

Honestly I told my wife why is the band still playing despite the fights😂😂😂

Both movies too 😂

@@benjaminjibunoh7991 because the fights needed a soundtrack

As long as nobody calls them musicians.

@@CombatIneffective Wow.. You're a super cool anonymous music snob, and your musical taste matters

Yosemite Sam

That boat scne when he screams 😂😂😂

@@shubhamrana3606just watched the movie and have been laughing for 5 minut straight at his scream 😂😂…and the hospital scene at the end bruh lmfao

Real shit ​@@aseem2985

Monkey Island Game

i like the main badguy sees connor coming on his boat and even he is like "shit, this psycho, dont let him on the boat."

your a terrible driver , wrong side of the road , i liked this line better

​@@braydenchapman1 same lol

First off it's " who taught you shapes " and second the best piece of dialog is when Jake thinks the cop is gonna get short term memory loss and finds out he didn't.

Its been a while since I have been clubbin

Hell. this is a movie to turn brains off and just enjoy the small ride. Don't get all the hate. Yeah its no masterpiece, but it was surely enjoyable and funny at times.

But my memory of Roadhouse is that it's a documentary about a rough and tumble bar.

It's an entirely different movie from the original, in a good way, that they didn't try to copy it

@@Leprutz For reeal after how bad movies have been the last few years, I'm surprised people don't just let a good thing land.

He ruined the movie. When there's zero chance of any tension between the hero and protagonist, especially in a movie like this, there's no movie. How anyine could take Knox seriously with McGregor's woeful acting and chimpanzee walk is mindboggling.

i swear to god xD lost it!

Its only bussines 😂

I didn't understand at first haha I thought he was like trying to tell him not to kill him but he was still being passive aggressive

🤣🤣

He would probably be Mike Tyson in a new hangover reboot… if it ever happens

Facts

He was horrible

He was the BEST part of an otherwise forgettable movie. Hope he gets more action roles!

@craigchatterton4164 Best part if you're stoned out of your mind for 2 hours.

@goodbyebluesky43 and I was for sure stoned for the entire movie, everhtime he was on screen he was acting like a action figure and it had me weak asf idc what you say ITS ENTERTAINMENT

I don't get it?

It was a call back to the original. Dalton always said to "Be Nice."

That was Dalton who said not Knox

@@LOCKDOWN152 : Swayze's Dalton said it in the original movie, Knox said it in this one. A little nod to the old flick.

lol good flick..umm no, this remake is crap.. horrible movie

lol and he just turns and hit the closest guy prolly his bff

@@UpstateVarmageddon randomly clocking the nearest guy made me genuinely lol 😂

So stupid

Live action GTA Trevor lol

I thought the same thing at the end. We need the Knox origin movie or just a movie with him as the main character.

That would be sick

There’s no way that he got into America legally that passport would have been flagged at customs

He was great tbh. I thought it was a plothole that a thug was able to fight evenly (in universe) the most dangerous, notorious UFC fighter of all time though. It kinda makes no sense

@@hansolo631 Interestingly this was addressed in Dax Shepard's podcast. That's why casting Conor was a good move. It helps the audience suspend that aspect of disbelief because yes it's obviously a movie and he's playing Knox, but you can't not see Conor McGregor in that performance.

@@hansolo631you’re trying to make sense out of this movie ? 🤣🤣🤣

He was shocking and ruined any chance it had of at least being okay.

This movie stunk. Hopefully Swayze doesn't have prime.

I wanna meet this guy .

⁠I second that 🇺🇸

looks like we gotta make a trip to london boys!

Ha ha.....I'd love to oblige him.

@@TattedTyphoon for sure . He theenk whiskey gonna help him

That's a pretty good description honestly

Every movie it's only Entertainent.

Issue is they didn't capture it. Just came off corny

Yeah, you're the only one. It would be a crime against humanity giving Conor another acting job.

@@gustenvarius80it’s his first role dude what’d you expect, I thought he did fine 😂

Movie was great Conor made it even better

​@@gustenvarius80he was funny af stop hating

@@gustenvarius80you’re the only one hating

Just watched it back and you’re absolutely right. I think that moment showed actual depth to his acting ability. Its like he’s on the verge of crying or he’s crying deep inside and you can see the deep pain in his eyes. It reminds me of that sense of helpless anger a person feels when they experience a tragic event and they can’t shake that pain

@@pablobrown6017 I feel he was made for the role. It’s like you can see the anger burning in his eyes. And what makes it truly great is that adrenaline expressed through his voice. His iconic voice really coming into a character of its own here. I could really see him doing other stuff now. Military special forces character. Viking. Irish mobster. Boxing movies. Small villain roles in popular action films like John Wick. Any “right hand to the villain” role. Like James Bond’s Oddjob and his debut here in Roadhouse. Any film franchises that seek larger than life people, like Fast and Furious with the Rock and Jason Momoa. The Expendables and the myriad of action stars. The sky’s the limit for him. I honestly don’t know why he even entertains fighting anymore. Enjoy the health, multi millions, and the family. Acting is where it could solely be for him now. And if Roadhouse is a true success, if more offers for him start coming in, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never fought again or only fought once more at most. Dudes gonna be 36 this year. That’s old in mma. He did it all, but the same can’t be said for his acting career. That could be the future for him. And with him seeming to enjoy his experience on roadhouse, I really believe he’ll transition into acting instead of fighting until the chins gone and the reflexes are too slow. His persona sells on him being a skilled combatant, to lose in that octagon could kill the hype of him starring in that next action movie. Talk that’s no longer walked. I’ve seen Mike Tyson in Ip Man 3. Ronda Rousey in The Expendables 4. GSP in the winter soldier. Conor’s acting right here in this scene is a cut above anything the others portrayed. And ngl, when I saw the trailer for this movie, and that he’d be a secondary antagonist, it automatically made me more hype. It’s the type of role I hoped he’d have, and seeing the director go with it made me have a good feeling even before seeing the film.

It's one line from one movie he's in it's hardly an Oscar worth performance Jesus🤦‍♂️🤣

@@City.1880 it’s his acting debut. Like I said, I’ve seen many other mma stars try to act. For a first outing, with such a big role, the fact he filled the shoes at all, had moments where I was impressed at all, is very impressive for someone who’s never acted in their life. As far as mma stars acting, I’ve seen way worse and not much better. And for someone who loves mma and has followed Conor’s career, they even payed attention to having him use his real life fighting styles. A POV part where he’s throwing punches at YOU. Things like that makes this movie like Transformers: more than meets the eye. At face value, it’s a cheese fest. But if you like mma, if you like hand to hand combat in movies, if you like movies where you just turn off your brain and smash popcorn, this movie did the job. I wouldn’t say it did the job and then some. It’s not an amazing movie. But I enjoyed it going in with the expectations I had, knowing what the OG roadhouses appeal was. And I like this one better. It does everything better imo. Main character having the ufc background is better. Conor as a secondary antagonist. No backwoods redneck backing tracks to go with every fight, whereas the backing tracks during the fighting in this movie is the literal band in the bar who gets screwed with too at times. These things put this movie above the original for me. It reaches creative heights the original never bothered to.

​@@warhead5225have you thought about a career in writing? Holy shit what long paragraphs for something so mundane

kinda ruined it

No he didn't at all. Awful.

The haters just dont like him as a celeb/fighter…only reason they hate on him in the role. He did great for his first time acting.

@TSimonelli08 It's nothing to do with that in the slightest. I don't have a strong view on him as a fighter/person the film was just truly shit

He was horrible. I am not a UFC fan, he just can't act

I came here looking for this comment.

I think it’s the other way around. He looks actually a bit calmer than he does in real life . His body language , his voice and his mannerisms look more agressive in real life I think . Connor said that the movie production told him to calm down a bit , because he was too unhinged at first.

@@jaiiunreve can’t disagree with u to b honest he’s a crazy guy

😂😂​@@jaiiunreve

On God bruh was on 10 the whole movie yo

I thought the pool fight was the coldest. Talking to that dude in the pool was ice cold.

What means cold?

Honestly dude! I am fucking loving Conors acting in this movie! People just can't let go of their hateeee

@@thejaded I don't like Conor. Never have. But I freaking loved him in this Film. The whole movie is silly so bringing an overly silly Villain in there just fits the tone. I don't see how people have forgotten to watch movies and take them for what they are.

That dude made the movie for me lol every scene was just funny

I was cackling each time Connor came to the screen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

Knox died

@@kenny_flo You should really watch the mid credits scene.

​@@BPS3519 wow I turned it off when the credits started tanks for letting me know imma watch it. Since I was kinda disappointed they killed him off.

@@BPS3519 Dang i thought he died lol. Woulda been a shame. Just watched it now. Definitely sequel is coming

Thats just a typical Saturday night making new friends fight in Ireland. A lot of my good friendships started exactly like this. Fight on a Friday night and best buddies on Saturday night. Great fun.

Same I knew roadhouse was to have fun with , I enjoyed it I just couldn’t watch the entirely due to work

😂

Omg. How did I not clock that

Continuity error 😂

It's a movie

Good catch

Conor magic. :p

My opinion exactly

Lol. I like Nick Cage but he's not great despite making 500 movies. Even his drunk in Leaving Las Vegas was over the top suicidal. He's always got to be over the top like a Pacino impression

I agree , I had a lot of fun with this one next to gxk new empire

Not tall, not short. He's average height.

He's 5 '9

He's 5'9 and probs looks taller with all that muscle.

Probably just put him in some lifts, Conor isn’t short but not tall either same goes for most Hollywood actors. Conor was also like 200lbs for this movie and juiced to the gills, his head looks ginormous compared to Jake’s which just makes him appear even bigger.

@@MattSigmaXhe’s actually 5ft8, he ain’t average height. I’m 5ft10 and I look like a child walking down the street

A wise man once said you don't always get what you want junior

But outside cage this is what happens he was hiding inside bus 😂

​@@Octonex-2022 Yeah... conor with gangs...thats will be a fair fights.

Yeah and conor would be on the receiving end. He's lucky khabib didn't get out of the bus or else conor would eat food through a tube for the rest of his dirty life😂😅😂😂​@@Octonex-2022

@@timdrake8972yea, sure thing buddy 😂😂😂

Right I was having a lot of fun with his character especially

Bro, please let me know where you’re getting your weed from. I need that good stuff😂

lol

Are you high 😂😂😂

I think he'd make a pretty good bond

He can't act

Womp womp

The actors aren't going to actually beat the shit out of each other, so all of that editing is necessary

I liked it. Felt I was really there

Actually the cuts are very minimal compared too other action films. You can actually see what’s going on.

It's not the actors fault its the writers fault

The director is Doug Liman who famously directed the first Bourne Identity movie so this camera movement for action is expected from him

You don’t get out much do you ?

@@brvwolf63 Yes!

It was better than original

@@Janiece-om7mv not even close.

Bro Fr, I wish they had made it as a stand alone and released on theaters! It was a good movie but I’ll always love road house double deuce! It’s got the perfect mix of everything.

I agree, if he genuinely works on his delivery and execution he could be a decent action star. He had great screen presence. You can tell from the interviews about the movie that he himself was actually nervous and admitted he was a complete novice when it came to acting. His acting was cringe at times, but Conor has that charisma and aura that still made him such an unforgettable character. I hope to see him continue with action movies and improving on his acting a little after another fight in the UFC.

@@giants2k8after watching the movie, surprisingly, I have to say I agree. Bad acting or not, the movie got a burst of energy everytime he showed up.

This movie was great
