00:02 -Ow! -I just slapped you. Are you all right?

00:07 The Roadhouse has massive scope,
00:09 amazing fight sequences,
00:11 and a great sense of humor.
00:13 Is that one in front of you?
00:14 No, I just broke his arm.
00:16 We are making a film that is going to be so much fun.

00:21 We wanted to shoot a fight like it's never been shot before.
00:25 It required that we get somebody who could actually fight.
00:28 So we got UFC fighter Conor McGregor.
00:32 I'm notorious for a reason.
00:34 I got a tip for you.
00:37 Don't let no one get this close.
00:39 [Grunts]
00:41 This is a straight-to-fight, raw fighting movie.
00:43 To do something like this, you'd be better off
00:45 doing it with someone like me who's skilled in it.
00:48 I am grateful to be working with him
00:50 and also equally terrified.
00:52 I don't want to see clean technique here.
00:54 I want to see chaos.
00:56 I want to see people barbaric.

01:02 We were looking at hundreds of videos of real fights,
01:04 bar fights, and watching what it looks like to take a real hit.
01:08 How could we put that in the movie
01:09 and still let me work the next day
01:12 and have a face that's usable?
01:13 Boom!
01:15 And so we came up with a whole new technique,
01:16 which is an A-B-C-D pass,
01:19 which is like four shots blended together.
01:20 [Grunts]
01:22 First, I have the person throw the punch.
01:24 The second pass, I have the person
01:26 have a big red pad in their hand
01:28 and, at the same timing, hit as hard as they can.
01:30 The third pass, the hand hitting the pad for real.
01:33 And then the final pass is just a blank background pass
01:35 with nothing in the foreground
01:36 so you can blend all those shots together.
01:38 [Grunting]
01:40 The style of the fighting was so unique and so different,
01:43 it was glorious.
01:44 [Grunting]
01:47 These fights are unlike anything you've ever seen.
01:50 ♪♪
01:53 Tell me about this bouncer.
01:54 [Grunts]
01:55 The guy's all nice and shit.
01:56 He beats the living shit out of you,
01:57 so really interesting guy.
