This is officially our 100th video upload! Woo! 🎉 It’s perfect timing that John Wick would be our 100th video since you all voted for this to be the next movie we watch! 😊 We had so much fun reacting to this movie but to be honest we are still contemplating if we should react to the rest of the JW series since there are other movies/shows we want to jump into. Let us know in the comments if you want us to finish this series! PS - We’ve already posted our Full Reaction & Unedited version on our Patreon, so check it out if you want to see more! 🤩 www.patreon.com/meeshanddee
The rest of the series is really just non stop amazing action. Not much story, just straight amazing action and choreography. I'd recommend but wanted to set expectations. Either way, enjoy your reactions ❤
To be honest there aren't many emotional pulls in the Wick series, it's mainly Wick trying to get back out of the "game." They introduce new characters who are either trying to kill Wick, are old friends of his, or both. The series is mainly all about flashy action sequences and great stunts. If this one wasn't your cup of tea, the others probably won't be either, as this is the best one, followed by JW4.
Alot more of the "story" part comes out in next movie. It's a very large, very involved world that these people live in...and as you heard in this one, there are rules...and those rules can't be broken without consequences.
The dog dying is a huge part of the movie, literally his wife’s final gift to him. I can’t believe they would put that in the synopsis 😭 not your fault though and still loved the reaction!
Yup... I stopped watching the reaction after less than a minute. One of the main reasons anyone watches reactions to this film, and they basically ruined it before they even started. They may as well wade into Star Wars knowing who Vader is.
@@MeeshDeeReacts. If you ever get around to watching The Departed....do not watch synopsis, do not watch other reactions beforehand. It is singlehandedly Martin Scorsese's best film.
IKR!?! I was thinking the same thing. The dog's death has a MUCH bigger impact emotionally if you don't know it's coming. Good lesson, NEVER read the synopsis!
@@Mr.Ekshin Okay dude we get it people like a complete blind reaction that doesn’t mean you gotta shit on them so fuckin’ hard bruh, don’t be such a fuckin’ dickhead
John Wick was so refreshing. In an era of action movies where every fight scene was shaky-cam and nonstop cuts, here was a movie that was well choreographed and actually let you SEE the action.
Fun fact, there was a piece of paper on the cage of the dog at the end in the shelter. On the paper it said "To be put down", he couldnt save his own dog, so he saved his new one from death. Now they both have a second chance.
Marcus asked if the contract was closed... He was told no, so he knew assassins were hunting his friend. Accepting it put him in the mix for protecting John.
I disagree. The dog was placed in front of John so it was the first thing he saw when he came to. The trail of blood was there because it was dripping from her broken skull. IMHO
@@VF31Rules The dog did crawl (in the script), they just couldn't show it because the puppy couldn't be trained to do it and CGing it was cost prohibitive.
@@maurer3d I just read the script. Cool. But if you actually need the script to know that's what happened, then thinking the puppy was intentionally put in front of John is a valid conclusion based on what was shown. Peace out.
@@VF31RulesThe blood trail is too thick & constant, meaning the dog crawled to him! It shows us how the dog loved his owner as much as John loved Daisy;). If they picked her up & placed her there, the blood would be very sporadic, thin & in drops. This blood trail shows she was lower to the ground & u can tell she crawled/dragged herself to him by the drag marks. Also, if they picked her up, most of the blood could’ve/would’ve ended up on themselves instead of the floor. So in my opinion, she crawled to the owner she loved & loved her back. It also has a far greater impact, adds another level, to the story:)
He actually trained for 6+ months for this film and that's pretty much all him doing all stunts. The director was his original stunt double on other films lol
Synopses, despite them being public, are not intended for the future audience at all. So, you can't really blame the filmmakers. A synopsis is meant to serve as a hook for producers, studio readers, etc., before they read the full-length screenplay. As a screenwriter myself, I'm not thinking about the audience at all when I'm writing a synopsis. I'm trying to get my script sold and produced. And in order to that, you have to include the juicy parts of the story in your synopsis. They don't mention the dog at all in the actual marketing logline for the film.
@@ToastyZach they read exactly what's written on the film's imdb page tho...can't be caught up in the semantics of what a synopsis is supposed to be on this one I'm afraid. That information should never have been on imdb.
@@bardust "IMDb" stands for "Internet Movie Database." That's exactly where that information belongs. Their job is to catalog every single detail about a film. Including the original synopsis. IMDb is an amazing learning tool for amateur filmmakers like myself. They're not going to change how they operate to just to avoid spoiling. It should be common sense that the "Internet Movie Database" contains spoilers...
Hi ladies. So no spoilers from me but these movies are done like a series. That's why they are called chapters. Each one picks up where the last one left off. The doorman at the club was indeed Kevin Nash the wrestler. When John asked about his weight loss he was asking how many security people at the club protecting the kid. Francis answered 60. The series gets better and better and there are new guest stars who are top flight also. Hard to know if you would like the rest of the series. I've never seen anyone not like this one lol. Whatever y'all decide, it was fun watching you on this one. Stay safe and well.
25:02 "Catch and Release" isn't a code name, he's asking about the parameters of the job John just offered him. It means he doesn't have to end her life, John just wants him to babysit her so she doesn't get in John's way. She's been caught, and John plans to release her.
John Wick has a special place in my heart because I watched that movie with my uncle (Dad's older brother) when he was came over to visit. This was waaay back in 2015. He lived out of state and we were never really close, but I had just put the movie on and he asked if he could join me; I said sure. We bonded over this movie and talked action films, his time in the army, places he'd been to, music, sports, my dreams in life, for hours after. He passed away the very next week.
Yesss, so excited for this! Keanu and the director, Chad Stahelski, really care about these films and it shows in all the installments. Can’t wait to see your reactions to the series. And congrats to your engagement!
@@MeeshDeeReactsit keeps getting better with every film! John Wick 4 has a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes! Highly rated by everyone in the film industry!
As far as Jimmy the patrol officer goes, it's not that John has the cops on his side, it's that he knows who John is and is just like "What the hell am I going to do? Try to arrest John Wick?"
The moment John Wick’s name was spoken Vigo knew death was coming. His son didn’t just wrong an ordinary man he angered a grieving demon that brought hell with him for revenge.
He can’t take down the old guy so easily because he took down everybody else and he’s kind of tired, LMAO, kind of wounded and kind of drugged up. Great reaction.
Dee: wow John Wick just can't catch a break Me: Oh you have no idea 😂😭😭, also yes the mythology and lore get way way deeper in John Wick 2-4 like it's not just a simple revenge action flick in the sequels oh definitely not that
John Wick is a peak into the life of professional assassins. Even in their business, there is a code of conduct. - You don't steal another assassin's contract; - You never re nigh on a contract (don't fulfill); - You never violate neutral territory (The Continental Hotel; - All transaction are paid in gold coins. - It's only business; never personal; unless someone makes it personal. The film John Wick is about someone foolishly violating Wick's private life, and making it personal.
There's some videos on taran tactical's youtube channel of Keanu Reeves doing all the training. He pretty much did all of the stunts and spent months weapon training to make it all look legit. Like speed reloads. Since typical action movies have unlimited ammo cheats this is basically the first one where people saw tactical reloads.
Came here for this comment. Not sure if it's 100% accurate or not, but I saw someone who said you can actually count the # of bullets he fires before needing to reload. AMAZING!
I actually read once, that when they did the scene where they killed the dog, one of the actors who played one of the Russian thugs in the movie, I think the one who killed the dog of Daisy in the movie, felt so bad for hurting the dog for the movie scene, that when they yelled cut, he picked up the dog, to make sure that the dog who played Daisy in the movie, wasn’t hurt, trying to be sweet and to give the dog love. So, I think that, behind all 4 of the John Wick movies, that they all love dogs, especially the actors from the first movie, and from the sequels, with John Wick 2, 3, and 4. And well, I also don’t know, if you guys did or didn’t know this. But 2 actors from the John Wick franchise, who helped bring the franchise to life, 2 John Wick stars have passed away, and we will never see them again, in any other movie, as they had immense talent who helped bring, the John Wick franchise to life. And the first John Wick star to pass away, his name was Michael Nyqvist, he played Viggo in the first John Wick movie, and he passed away in June of 2017 at just 56 years old, within 4 months after the second John Wick movie was released here in the USA in February of 2017. And over a year ago, we lost another John Wick star, who played the desk clerk at the hotel of the continental, and his name was, Lance Reddick. And the movies of John Wick, helped him stand out as an actor, and he passed away in March of last year, literally one week before, John Wick: Chapter 4 was scheduled to be released.
"For being an ex assassin , you'd think he'd have better security in his house" *Little girl... John Wick is the man you call , when your security... NEEDS SECURITY*
I don't even watch trailers for longer than 30 seconds anymore, everything after 30 seconds is the plot of the movie lol... Sometimes my wife and I will be in the room when Netflix autoplays trailers and when it's over we always go, "Well that was a good movie" lol no need to watch it anymore, saw literally everything that happens.
In response to being stabbed being unnecessary When Viggo pulled out the knife, the advantage was in his favour. So, to turn it against him, John had to disarm him and have a hold of it. During the grapple, Viggo had his left arm to John's shoulder, preventing him from headbutting and John's hands were on Viggo's arm, not allowing John enough leverage to maneuver the knife out of his hand. The moment he lifts even one of his hands meant he would be stabbed as he's holding back the knife with full force from both hands. Their positions were too far for him to kick Viggo, moreover, it would make John lose his balance, get stabbed. The only way out of the grapple would be him being stabbed, so John pushes Viggo's arm towards a non-vital region, the previous wound (the bleeding would have killed him but it wont be as serious as internal bleeding in a vital organ) in order to readjust his hold on Viggo's arm, dislocate the elbow and take the knife, giving him the advantage Nice reaction btw
Oh also if it would help to ease the pain a little, obviously no animals/pets really gets harmed in films but the guy that "allegedly" you hear kill the dog, well he cried so much that he couldn't sleep, eat or anything so he adopted that Beagle that was used for his new pet.
Big congratulations on the 100th video girls! 🎉 And of course you picked the best movie for it 😁 John Wick series it's absolutely dope! Looking forward to future videos on this series ♥️
Heartbreaking fact but in Daisy’s dying moments she slowly crawled her way back to John to be with him…there’s a little blood trail in that scene… Out of all the John Wick movies, this one is my least favorite. I have a few dogs at home myself and I can’t watch or even try to think of the movie and that scene anymore because I’ll hyperventilate and have a panic attack. I love dogs period and seeing an innocent sweet bean puppy being killed in cold blood is agonizing to watch, I just can’t do it. It doesn’t help the fact that when I was a younger I had a Shi Tzu named Daisy for two years, my Mom gave her away and after that I never saw her again. That was over 14 years ago, I’m sure by now she’s long passed, but from the bottom of my heart I hope that her new owners gave her a wonderful life. I’m sure she forgot about me, but I’ll never forget her Spend everyday with your dogs, cats, gerbils, snakes whatever pet you have as if it were your last. You never know when they’ll be taken from you one way or the other.
Meesh & Dee Beagle puppy, "Daisy" is male dog named Andy. During filming horrible scene of Daisy's death, one (actor) of Iosef's goons was in tears that Chad had to stopped filming. Actor holding and hugging Andy after each take. Someone mentioned Andy's name was switched to Wick. Someone adopted Andy (Wick) after scene was completed. Last that I heard of Andy (Wick), he is still living well today.
Gold coins are the currency for John Wick's world of assassins. Hotel is Continental Hotel, place for those who worked in business of assassin. Winston (Ian McShane) stated major rule at Continental, "business done on the property" Penalty for violation is Perkins faced her execution for violating that rule.
"They can't make 4 movies of pure action" Yes they can but also they have incredible world building and character development while also making 4 movies of pure action.
Fun fact. The little guy who plays the head of the cleaning service was in the iconic 70s NYC gang movie called The Warriors. Even if you don't review it for the channel, you'll want to see it just for the entertainment. John Wick isn't high cinema, but each movie is very entertaining and a fun thrill ride. If you want to see his origin story and his eclectic friends and villains, please see the other three.
It's called "Sheathing the Sword". John pulled the knife into a non-vital spot... a spot he had already been cut bad. It was less of a sacrifice than you think
14:19 nope, wick doesnt cops on his side, but if you find an assasin with the reputation of John Wick in a killing spree you just walk away to be alive one more day
Idk if they still read these comments, but a good general tip for all reaction channels is to not read the synopsis before the reaction. Blind reactions are better and more authentic.
I would recommend you watch the next three. You will be amazed at how the storyline changes. You get the entire background of the underworld how to operate the rules they have to follow without me giving away too much. I'm a first time watcher of your channel and I'm happy with your reaction but I would implore you to watch the next three.
There is one detail about the drifting scene at the air-strip that I havn't seen anyone notice. The dog stuff which are in the car when he is at the gas station are no longer in the car. While this is due to the stunt work and that they don't want anything flying around, it can be used to reason that he left the dog somewhere safe before he went crazy with the drifting. Great video. If you plan on watching the rest of them then you will get a nice surprise in the 4th. There are a lot of small callbacks to the previous three in that one
A couple of things most don't notice the first couple of watch throughs, when the guard at the Red Circle tells him how much weight he lost he is telling John how many guards are inside, and the Hotel Doctor played the Key Maker in the Matrix films.
Now I realize how well made the movie is, that in just those initial minutes, with flashbacks and no dialogue, the movie manages to move us for the death of his wife, and to make us feel bad for John.
You need to see John Wick 2, 3, and 4. There's a gunfight in 4 that is unlike any other in any movie - two LONG takes. Poke around RUclips and watch Keanu training at Taran Butler's shooting schools. Taran is a world champion professional competitive shooter, he taught Keanu in 3-Gun discipline (rifle, pistol, shotgun) including reloads, clearing malfunctions, and transitions between weapons. Total badass.
He looks natural because he trains in martial arts and has done a lot of actual training with professional shooters. He could actually compete in shooting competitions. He is one of the nicest people in Hollywood, but also one of the most dangerous
That scene where he stabs the guy in the jaw looking him straight in the eye watching the life go out of them has to be 1 of the coldest bad ass scene in movies, it just tells me that when assassins have a hit to do their personality just turns robotic & I don't think he sees them as people, he's just doing what needs done to get his target, he played this character so fucking good.
It's my first time watching your channel and I really enjoyed it. You are beautiful and funny, especially the right one, I loved your personality and your smile. Keep uploading more reactions 🙏🏾❤️
Welcome to the channel and we appreciate your support! 🥰🙏🏽 we hope to continue to bring more entertaining videos to yall and can’t wait to watch more together ❤️
The cop secene is a very important scene. Not only does it add an air of mystery but relieves the audience of having to wonder about the cops. It lets them get lost in the story
@26:55 "That one guy's really good - the one who threw him off of the ledge..." is Daniel Bernhardt. He's an actor, martial artist, and appeared with Keanu in "The Matrix Reloaded" (2003) and also in "The Matrix Resurrections" (2021).
Viggo Tarasovs accent is so Swedish it's actually funny to me lol.It's like they told him to not even try changing accent. Great actor don't get me wrong. (RIP Michael Nyqvist) But I know a Swedish accent when i hear one, I was born there haha. (Same city as him) Love this movie. Thank you.
Not sure if its been said but the lighting in this movie is also a massive factor. When its Green/Blue, John holds the advantage. When its red, his enemies hold the advantage. And when its blue and red/purple, John's fate is uncertain. Also the people who care about him or the ones he cares about, are usually in a golden/yellow light. With that being said, when he enters the Continental Bar for the first time, there are all types of reds/greens/yellows there. Meaning its a safe harbor but threat is still close.
I love that the Allstate Mayhem guy is in this movie. A great casting choice if you ask me. I wish that All State insurance would have had a John Wick themed commercial though.
#1 rule of this universe is that the grounds of the Continental are consecrated and killing someone on consecrated grounds incurs the death penalty. Thats why when viggo was told an associate was willing to break the rules, he doubled the bounty to $4mil.
16:17 I got the impression Winston and Marcus were John Wick’s mentors. Heck Winston considers him a son. So they always got his and each other’s backs.
You should see the video where he is at an actual shooting range, preparing for the movie... Let's just say he broke the record, in true John wick fashion, but real life... His gun play in off the charts.
This would have been an excellent movie to have "Murder on the Dance Floor" playing in the club crowd scene! Mr Reeves is actually a competitive shooter, he trained extensively for the roles. You make a great couple, BTW, as so many of your reactions are exactly the same, in perfect sync'.
John Wick is a good action packed movie series. Seriously he always follows a code of his own. May you react to the rest of the movies. The action will be peaked after and after in 2 ,3 ,4.
The bouncer outside The Red Circle club is indeed a former WWE wrestler named Kevin Nash....he is also in the Marvel movie The Punisher (2004) where he played as The Russian....
After all that series of John wick movies, i more interested in the prequel, how he meet his wife, how ruthless he is when he's in his prime, young marcus and john friendship? All of that is interesting
@MeeshDeeReacts Fun Fact: The head security guy protecting Iosef was the lead Agent in Matrix Reloaded that Neo (Keanu) fought in the alley before flying away like Superman. Morpheus also fights him on top of an 18-wheeler.
_"Be seeing you."_ ...in Hell. Lots of interesting lore in the JW universe; that phrase is used in two scenarios: a threat of future violence, or an acknowledgment from one assassin to the next that they are all going to the same place. It’s this awareness that underpins the mutual respect most assassins share in John Wick’s world.

The storyline you’re looking for unfolds in 2, 3 & 4
That scene at 8:18, when you realize that the dog dragged itself to Keanu--that blood trail justifies everything that happens for the entire movie.
They did not end the movie with a cliff-hanger because if it had been a failure at the box office, they would not have made a second one.

- You don't steal another assassin's contract;
- You never re nigh on a contract (don't fulfill);
- You never violate neutral territory (The Continental Hotel;
- All transaction are paid in gold coins.
- It's only business; never personal; unless someone makes it personal.
The film John Wick is about someone foolishly violating Wick's private life, and making it personal.
There's some videos on taran tactical's youtube channel of Keanu Reeves doing all the training. He pretty much did all of the stunts and spent months weapon training to make it all look legit. Like speed reloads. Since typical action movies have unlimited ammo cheats this is basically the first one where people saw tactical reloads.
Came here for this comment. Not sure if it's 100% accurate or not, but I saw someone who said you can actually count the # of bullets he fires before needing to reload. AMAZING!
I actually read once, that when they did the scene where they killed the dog, one of the actors who played one of the Russian thugs in the movie, I think the one who killed the dog of Daisy in the movie, felt so bad for hurting the dog for the movie scene, that when they yelled cut, he picked up the dog, to make sure that the dog who played Daisy in the movie, wasn’t hurt, trying to be sweet and to give the dog love. So, I think that, behind all 4 of the John Wick movies, that they all love dogs, especially the actors from the first movie, and from the sequels, with John Wick 2, 3, and 4. And well, I also don’t know, if you guys did or didn’t know this. But 2 actors from the John Wick franchise, who helped bring the franchise to life, 2 John Wick stars have passed away, and we will never see them again, in any other movie, as they had immense talent who helped bring, the John Wick franchise to life. And the first John Wick star to pass away, his name was Michael Nyqvist, he played Viggo in the first John Wick movie, and he passed away in June of 2017 at just 56 years old, within 4 months after the second John Wick movie was released here in the USA in February of 2017. And over a year ago, we lost another John Wick star, who played the desk clerk at the hotel of the continental, and his name was, Lance Reddick. And the movies of John Wick, helped him stand out as an actor, and he passed away in March of last year, literally one week before, John Wick: Chapter 4 was scheduled to be released.
The blood trail indicates the puppy crawled to John wick ..,
That's exactly what I thought too, I'm happy john got his revenge on the guy who killed his dog
"For being an ex assassin , you'd think he'd have better security in his house"
*Little girl... John Wick is the man you call , when your security... NEEDS SECURITY*
Well, hopefully you learned your lesson… never read the synopsis! Spoilers abound!
Still enjoy your reaction as always!
I don't even watch trailers for longer than 30 seconds anymore, everything after 30 seconds is the plot of the movie lol... Sometimes my wife and I will be in the room when Netflix autoplays trailers and when it's over we always go, "Well that was a good movie" lol no need to watch it anymore, saw literally everything that happens.
Haha lesson learned here for sure 😅🙏🏽 thanks for watching with us! ❤️
In response to being stabbed being unnecessary
When Viggo pulled out the knife, the advantage was in his favour. So, to turn it against him, John had to disarm him and have a hold of it. During the grapple, Viggo had his left arm to John's shoulder, preventing him from headbutting and John's hands were on Viggo's arm, not allowing John enough leverage to maneuver the knife out of his hand. The moment he lifts even one of his hands meant he would be stabbed as he's holding back the knife with full force from both hands. Their positions were too far for him to kick Viggo, moreover, it would make John lose his balance, get stabbed. The only way out of the grapple would be him being stabbed, so John pushes Viggo's arm towards a non-vital region, the previous wound (the bleeding would have killed him but it wont be as serious as internal bleeding in a vital organ) in order to readjust his hold on Viggo's arm, dislocate the elbow and take the knife, giving him the advantage
Nice reaction btw
Oh also if it would help to ease the pain a little, obviously no animals/pets really gets harmed in films but the guy that "allegedly" you hear kill the dog, well he cried so much that he couldn't sleep, eat or anything so he adopted that Beagle that was used for his new pet.
I hope to God y’all never read a synopsis again. That spoiler was a tad bit disappointing 😭
Big congratulations on the 100th video girls! 🎉 And of course you picked the best movie for it 😁 John Wick series it's absolutely dope! Looking forward to future videos on this series ♥️
We appreciate your support!! 😍🙏🏽 hope you’re having a wonderful day/night wherever you’re watching from 🫶🏼
@@MeeshDeeReacts Thank you very much! ♥️ really wonderful night while rewatching this movie with you two 😊💪🏾🥳
"An opportunity to grieve unalone"😭😭
Heartbreaking fact but in Daisy’s dying moments she slowly crawled her way back to John to be with him…there’s a little blood trail in that scene…
Out of all the John Wick movies, this one is my least favorite. I have a few dogs at home myself and I can’t watch or even try to think of the movie and that scene anymore because I’ll hyperventilate and have a panic attack. I love dogs period and seeing an innocent sweet bean puppy being killed in cold blood is agonizing to watch, I just can’t do it.
It doesn’t help the fact that when I was a younger I had a Shi Tzu named Daisy for two years, my Mom gave her away and after that I never saw her again. That was over 14 years ago, I’m sure by now she’s long passed, but from the bottom of my heart I hope that her new owners gave her a wonderful life. I’m sure she forgot about me, but I’ll never forget her
Spend everyday with your dogs, cats, gerbils, snakes whatever pet you have as if it were your last. You never know when they’ll be taken from you one way or the other.
Beautifully said.
Meesh & Dee
Beagle puppy, "Daisy" is male dog named Andy. During filming horrible scene of Daisy's death, one (actor) of Iosef's goons was in tears that Chad had to stopped filming. Actor holding and hugging Andy after each take. Someone mentioned Andy's name was switched to Wick. Someone adopted Andy (Wick) after scene was completed. Last that I heard of Andy (Wick), he is still living well today.
Gold coins are the currency for John Wick's world of assassins. Hotel is Continental Hotel, place for those who worked in business of assassin. Winston (Ian McShane) stated major rule at Continental, "business done on the property" Penalty for violation is Perkins faced her execution for violating that rule.
"They can't make 4 movies of pure action" Yes they can but also they have incredible world building and character development while also making 4 movies of pure action.
Who in the right fucking mind thought that posting the entire story of the movie as the synopsis must be the best way to go about it?!
Fun fact. The little guy who plays the head of the cleaning service was in the iconic 70s NYC gang movie called The Warriors. Even if you don't review it for the channel, you'll want to see it just for the entertainment. John Wick isn't high cinema, but each movie is very entertaining and a fun thrill ride. If you want to see his origin story and his eclectic friends and villains, please see the other three.
It's called "Sheathing the Sword".
John pulled the knife into a non-vital spot... a spot he had already been cut bad.
It was less of a sacrifice than you think
Give him a kiss too is so- 😂😂😂😂😂 you’re so hilarious bruh
😂😂🙏🏽
28:45 - The steering wheel beep, straight to the dog bark...amazing. 😂 subscribed.
😂😂🙏🏽🔥
14:19 nope, wick doesnt cops on his side, but if you find an assasin with the reputation of John Wick in a killing spree you just walk away to be alive one more day
38:08, there is an old saying about marriage civilizing men. Without his wife Helen, John Wick is back out here wilding.
Exactly why she arranged for him to have Daisy. He still needed that loving influence.
Idk if they still read these comments, but a good general tip for all reaction channels is to not read the synopsis before the reaction. Blind reactions are better and more authentic.
The pool/club scene is the best scene in the franchise. Score was so much better in this movie over the others. But all movies are so good.
Be proud of how empathetic you are. It's an awesome trait to have.
ahh hell nah we cant be reading the plot before a reaction 🤣🤣🤣
I would recommend you watch the next three. You will be amazed at how the storyline changes. You get the entire background of the underworld how to operate the rules they have to follow without me giving away too much. I'm a first time watcher of your channel and I'm happy with your reaction but I would implore you to watch the next three.
I would highly recommend not reading the synopsis before. Going in blind is better
There is one detail about the drifting scene at the air-strip that I havn't seen anyone notice.
The dog stuff which are in the car when he is at the gas station are no longer in the car.
While this is due to the stunt work and that they don't want anything flying around, it can be used to reason that he left the dog somewhere safe before he went crazy with the drifting.
Great video.
If you plan on watching the rest of them then you will get a nice surprise in the 4th.
There are a lot of small callbacks to the previous three in that one
A couple of things most don't notice the first couple of watch throughs, when the guard at the Red Circle tells him how much weight he lost he is telling John how many guards are inside, and the Hotel Doctor played the Key Maker in the Matrix films.
Now I realize how well made the movie is, that in just those initial minutes, with flashbacks and no dialogue, the movie manages to move us for the death of his wife, and to make us feel bad for John.
KUDOS From Canada. . . Ladies, prepare yourselves to whats coming. The stunt guys deserved a raise.
Love our Canadians!! ❤️❤️
I still love his older movie "BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES. It is still one of my favorites!!!!
Great reaction ❤❤❤❤❤ Why don’t u guys do more movies. You have a winning formula 😊😊😊
You need to see John Wick 2, 3, and 4. There's a gunfight in 4 that is unlike any other in any movie - two LONG takes.
Poke around RUclips and watch Keanu training at Taran Butler's shooting schools. Taran is a world champion professional competitive shooter, he taught Keanu in 3-Gun discipline (rifle, pistol, shotgun) including reloads, clearing malfunctions, and transitions between weapons. Total badass.
I think moving to black and white for the gruesome scenes made it look 1000% cooler.
Literally ruined the movie by reading the synopsis 😂 😂 1st John wick reaction I've seen where that happened.
He looks natural because he trains in martial arts and has done a lot of actual training with professional shooters. He could actually compete in shooting competitions. He is one of the nicest people in Hollywood, but also one of the most dangerous
As usual, great reaction, don't mess with Dee and Meesha's reactions!!
Its impossible to not love or at the very least like Keanu Reeves
Please do all chapters
Love your reactions 🔥
Ok, I've been waiting for this! You guys are awesome!!
John Wick 2 has a LOT of world building in it. They show you just how extensive the world of "John Wick" really is.
Ooo that’s dope!!
He even did his own stunts. LOVE all of the movies
Meesh & Dee Awesome 100th Video Anniversary Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
That scene where he stabs the guy in the jaw looking him straight in the eye watching the life go out of them has to be 1 of the coldest bad ass scene in movies, it just tells me that when assassins have a hit to do their personality just turns robotic & I don't think he sees them as people, he's just doing what needs done to get his target, he played this character so fucking good.
It's pretty cool that, Allstate was able to hire the guy who played, "chaos" in all the commercials, to make a cameo for this movie.
It's my first time watching your channel and I really enjoyed it. You are beautiful and funny, especially the right one, I loved your personality and your smile. Keep uploading more reactions 🙏🏾❤️
Welcome to the channel and we appreciate your support! 🥰🙏🏽 we hope to continue to bring more entertaining videos to yall and can’t wait to watch more together ❤️
The cop secene is a very important scene. Not only does it add an air of mystery but relieves the audience of having to wonder about the cops. It lets them get lost in the story
@26:55 "That one guy's really good - the one who threw him off of the ledge..." is Daniel Bernhardt. He's an actor, martial artist, and appeared with Keanu in "The Matrix Reloaded" (2003) and also in "The Matrix Resurrections" (2021).
Viggo Tarasovs accent is so Swedish it's actually funny to me lol.It's like they told him to not even try changing accent. Great actor don't get me wrong. (RIP Michael Nyqvist) But I know a Swedish accent when i hear one, I was born there haha. (Same city as him) Love this movie. Thank you.
Not sure if its been said but the lighting in this movie is also a massive factor. When its Green/Blue, John holds the advantage. When its red, his enemies hold the advantage. And when its blue and red/purple, John's fate is uncertain. Also the people who care about him or the ones he cares about, are usually in a golden/yellow light. With that being said, when he enters the Continental Bar for the first time, there are all types of reds/greens/yellows there. Meaning its a safe harbor but threat is still close.
Damn got to rewatch for this
I love that the Allstate Mayhem guy is in this movie. A great casting choice if you ask me. I wish that All State insurance would have had a John Wick themed commercial though.
#1 rule of this universe is that the grounds of the Continental are consecrated and killing someone on consecrated grounds incurs the death penalty. Thats why when viggo was told an associate was willing to break the rules, he doubled the bounty to $4mil.
Chapter 4 is the best! Not a big Drama story, but best Action and I like the Myth in the Underground world. Greetings from Germany❤
Noted! Thanks for watching with us from Germany! ❤️🤩
8:14 I read somewhere that, although they didn’t show it in screen, she actually crawled over to him and THEN died! 💔
16:17 I got the impression Winston and Marcus were John Wick’s mentors. Heck Winston considers him a son. So they always got his and each other’s backs.
There is a fan theory that Winston is Helen's father, which is why he is so protective of John
You should see the video where he is at an actual shooting range, preparing for the movie... Let's just say he broke the record, in true John wick fashion, but real life... His gun play in off the charts.
This would have been an excellent movie to have "Murder on the Dance Floor" playing in the club crowd scene!
Mr Reeves is actually a competitive shooter, he trained extensively for the roles.
You make a great couple, BTW, as so many of your reactions are exactly the same, in perfect sync'.
John Wick is a good action packed movie series. Seriously he always follows a code of his own. May you react to the rest of the movies. The action will be peaked after and after in 2 ,3 ,4.
I always say if they bring a pet into the film, then there's the plot. 😂 promise I'm not laughing for the murder of the dog but knowing the plot.
You should do the Firefly episodes. Think space cowboys. You will end up loving the show and hating FOX.
The assistant of Viggo is the mayhem man in the All-State commercials. And he played Brian Cassidy in Law and order svu since 1999
The bouncer outside The Red Circle club is indeed a former WWE wrestler named Kevin Nash....he is also in the Marvel movie The Punisher (2004) where he played as The Russian....
Marcus took the job because he knew that it would just be offered to another sniper. That's what my head canon tells me anyway.
Hiding in plain sight. That way he could keep an eye on John, and give him a hand, with no suspicion from Viggo.
After all that series of John wick movies, i more interested in the prequel, how he meet his wife, how ruthless he is when he's in his prime, young marcus and john friendship? All of that is interesting
I love these John Wick movies and I’m looking forward to see y’all’s reaction to the others. Also, never mess with Dee, she’ll cut your jewels off 😂
😂😂😂🙏🏽
Loved it! You guys enjoyed the story and the violence! Lol and just a 7? Love that as well!
@MeeshDeeReacts Fun Fact: The head security guy protecting Iosef was the lead Agent in Matrix Reloaded that Neo (Keanu) fought in the alley before flying away like Superman. Morpheus also fights him on top of an 18-wheeler.
_"Be seeing you."_ ...in Hell.
Lots of interesting lore in the JW universe; that phrase is used in two scenarios: a threat of future violence, or an acknowledgment from one assassin to the next that they are all going to the same place. It’s this awareness that underpins the mutual respect most assassins share in John Wick’s world.
You guys should check out the special features and watch how Keanu trained for this and the rest of the movies
The second was ok, but the third was amazing. Haven’t seen the fourth yet.
Congratulations to you both!
"there must be more to the story right?"
You dont know what a man who has nothing to lose can do
