Jake concluded, “We’ve made a different RH this time around, but hoping it’s one he would’ve had fun watching!” Patrick starred in the original Road House back in 1989, which followed a professional bouncer who relocates to Missouri to help clean up a rundown club. In the 2024 remake, Jake plays a former UFC fighter who becomes a bouncer at a dilapidated bar in the Florida Keys. Patrick died after a battle with pancreatic cancer in 2009. He was 57. The Road House remake will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting on March 21. Watch the trailer here!
