See a tattooed Jake Gyllenhaal fight dirty in the ‘Road House’ remake.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a very believable bar ball.

The first trailer for “Road House,” an “adrenaline-fueled, high-octane reimagining” of the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic, shows a beefed-up Gyllenhaal ready to take on some local bad boys in the Florida Keys. He stars as ex-UFC fighter Dalton, who “takes a job as a bouncer at a house in the Florida Keys, only to discover that this paradise isn’t all it seems.”

The late Swayze, who died in 2009 of cancer, played the famous role. The remake is directed by Doug Liman, who also helmed the “Bourne” franchise, “Edge of Tomorrow” and many other blockbusters.

On Monday, Gyllenhaal teased the film, sharing the official “Road House” poster and announcing that the trailer is coming.

“In the studio putting the finishing touches on @roadhousemovie and feeling lucky to have worked with so many talented people throughout the making of this film,” he wrote. “Over the next few weeks, I can’t wait to share some of the preparation, people and moments that made this one so much fun!”

The film also stars Jessica Williams, Lukas Gage, Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Joaquim de Almedia, Arturo Castro, BK Cannon, Beau Knapp and Darren Barnet. It is the first film role for MMA fighter Conor McGregor.

“Road House” will premiere on Prime Video on March 21.
