As Hollywood keeps churning out reboots and continuations of existing popular properties, Prime Video follows suit with a Road House remake. The new movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Elwood Dalton coming to the Glass Key in Florida to bounce at a bar called The Road House.This time, Elwood has a mixed martial arts edge to him as he is a former UFC fighter, compared to Patrick Swayze’s James Dalton from the original 1989 movie. While both heroes have different backgrounds, as the film unfolds, there are many tributes, similar scenes, and Easter eggs to the past.Similarly, the original movie’s villain was Brad, while the new one is Ben Brandt (played by Billy Magnussen) — which feels like a play on words. Wade was James’ mentor in the original film, and in the new one, Wade is the name of a cowboy from a novel that Charlie mentions to Elwood at her bookshop. Similarly, the original bar owner was a man named Frank, while in the new movie, it’s a woman named Frankie. Lastly, the original bar was the Double Deuce, which is now a restaurant next to Charlie’s store.
