Jake Gyllenhaal is opening up about the challenges he faced while filming the remake of Road House, due out this Thursday.

Appearing on this weeks episode of the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, Gyllenhaal recalled cutting his hand while working on a fight scene in the movie, which co-stars Daniela Melchior and Conor McGregor.

Were fighting on the floor, were fighting around tables. Were fighting around glass, even if its breakaway glass, he explained.

I put my hand on the bar, fucking straight glass. ... I felt the glass go into my hand.

Over time, Gyllenhaal said, his whole arm swelled up, which was the result of a staph infection possibly suffered after cutting his hand or during another physically demanding scene.

There were things like that that happened all the time, he added. But gratefully I was really, really trying to take care of everything that we did and my body while were doing it. I didnt sustain any major injuries, which is a testament to the team I was working with.

Directed by Doug Liman, Road House is a remake of the 1989 action thriller starring Patrick Swayze . Gyllenhaal portrays Elwood Dalton, a reimagined version of Swayzes character who is a former UFC middleweight fighter.

The original Road House debuted to mostly negative reviews but, perhaps buoyed by Swayzes star power at the time, turned out to be a surprise hit on home video.
