CGI fight scenes could become a new trend as Road House director Doug Liman defends the technique from the myriad of criticisms that have since been leveled against it. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton, a former UFC-fighter turned bouncer, who is hired to protect a Road House in the Florida Keys from increasingly violent customers. The remake of the beloved original (starring Patrick Swayze) co-stars real UFC fighter Conor McGregor as the movie’s main villain, Knox, and, as a result, features relentless action and fight scenes. However, Liman used a relatively new and experimental technique to capture the fight scenes. While some fans hated the end result, the director says there is no going back.
