What started out as a refreshingly straight-and-to-the point tight 90-minute action movie starring Keanu Reeves shooting people has morphed into an expansive world of assassins with a whole bunch of lore and special coins. The latest installment in the franchise is John Wick Chapter 4, clocking in at a wild 3 hours of runtime.
John Wick Chapter 4 definitely raises some questions. Like how does John keep surviving the impossible? Do the cops really not care about all this public bloodshed at highly recognizable locations? How does John manage to travel internationally as he does? Is he really gone, or are we going to bring him back somehow?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to John Wick Chapter 4!

“He’s a valued customer of Offscreen Airlines” 🤣💀
Best line easily!!! :D
The best Airline out there, when you want to travel somewhere, but don't want to explain or pay anything. They also do not check for any weapons or other restricted items - if you need it at your destination, you can take it with you.
Everybody in this world is an assasin...except airline employees...and people who travel by flight...and flight crews...and...
That's a thing they said in the pitch meeting!
@@KenLieck wow wow wow...wow
"So he's chosen death" is just the best way to describe anyone that chooses to fight John Wick 😂
Unless it is Chuck Norris. Then Death chooses him. And loses. But John Wick still lives. Because Chuck Norris killed Death. And then both live happily ever after.
We must join him Gandalf, we must join Sauron
"Bags of meat"...... 🎯😂
Totally
True
I love how everyone in the movies progressed from "OMG you killed JOHN WICK's dog?! You're toast!" to "Hey let's try killing John Wick, gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
It's been long enough that all the people who said stuff like "OMG you killed JOHN WICK's dog?! You're toast!" have had time to fake their own deaths and retire to tropical islands (except for that one guy who moved to Scotland because to heck with ever going a day without rain again). Meaning only the dumb assassins who think they can take John Wick are left.
“Forget it. John Wick is invincible”
“I will pay you $1,000”
“Consider it done”
Anybody notice how there are countless movies of heroes girlfriends, and families being killed by villain, but no villain was hated more by the general public than the villain that would dare kill a dog. You can blast through family members all day, but as soon as you shoot a dog, you are the most hated being in the universe!
@@DustinBarlow8P Yeah, Screenwriter Guy mentions that people like dogs much more than they like humans in the pitch meeting for the first John Wick movie!
I guess it kind of makes sense. The wife of an assassin must be at least kind of okay with his previous job, even if he wanted to quit, but a puppy is pure love and definitely doesn't have a choice.
I'm surprised there was no mention of every character deciding to shout "Aahhhhh!" before attacking the blind guy, just to make sure he'd know they're about to hit him. Very nice assassins.
Shouting "Aahhhhh!" before attacking a blind guy is TIGHT!
that is common courtesy when fighting blind people!
Oh, VERY courteous assassins!
There exists an old tradition when engaging blind assassins that one must shout or scream “Aahhhh!” before attacking.
Not sure why they made him blind when they basically ignored it half the time or made silly, elaborate ways for him to stand a chance.
His blindness added nothing to the character or much of the action other than making me think 'well ok, I guess I'll just go with it'.
I think John Wick 3 is still the perfect blend of OTT action, choreography and simple but effective plot. This one went to far. The story was a bit crap and the action was either overlong or just downright ridiculous.
Not knocking the work that went into the action scenes. They look great and they all have highlights for me. Just didn't flow into a cohesive whole for me like the other movies.
The runtime is just too much too. These movies lend themselves to being in and out. I can rewatch the others over and over because they are no nonsense. This was bloated next to the others.
"If the scene looks cool, you must allow the writer to get there by any means necessary"
Every single action movie ever.
Except action scenes in some movies are just not cool enough to invoke the Rule of Cool.
So the movie can happen
Yeah. That's the point. Of the joke you're quoting. What?
Some movies are so clearly just two cool scene ideas with a bunch of filler in between 😂
this rule is the reason how we got that warehouse fight scene with batfleck.
I can just imagine the actual producers saying every time "how can we basically kill john wick but still allow to come back in the next one"
Even within an individual movie, the John Wick series is full of "but I thought we established that..." "I don't care, do it anyway" situations.
I can’t wait until some random assassin walks into a room full of the high table people and says “somehow, John wick returned”
He comes back as a dog
He has enough plot armor for every super hero from dc and marvel combined. atrocious
Time travel!
His tonality on “Oh no! That’s where the killers like to sleep!” is an impeccable comic touch. I had to rewind that several times.
Every joke was so on point I rewatched the whole thing again. The saying someone's name isn't cool back and forth killed me!!!😂
“Some bags of meat over…Sorry some assassins that John Wick is going to kill”
and
“He’s a valued customer of Off Screen airlines”
😂😂😂
No joke, Ryan should pitch his own action parody movie.
“Oh, he’s a valued customer of Off-Screen Airlines”
Fantastic work as always, Ryan.
The best line
Cracked me TF up.
Killed me. Just perfect.
The great thing about flying OSA is that you get to where you want to go in no time and at no cost. And you never have to worry about lost luggage because you never bring any. Also, no pesky TSA or customs to get through. Fly OSA... the preferred airline of movie action heroes (and villains) the world over!
John is the only person who travels to Rome by taking the subway train
"That's where the killers like to sleep!"
I love your ability to state simple things in hilarious ways.
It’s tight
So the movie could happen!
It works!
"Donnie Yen as a blind guy who's good at fighting that sounds familiar"....... This was pure gold!!!!!!!
I typically don't know who an actor is in any given movie... What movie is this a reference to? My first thought was Stick in Daredevil being a blind guy that's good at fighting, but I'm getting the feeling it's a reference to another part played by this actor.
@@giin97Star Wars Rogue One.
@@giin97Surely, you can't be serious!
@@joelellis7035I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley.
Somebody had to do it.
The “…okay” after the falling down the stairs explanation was perfect 😂
Genuine goosebumps when producer guy said "screenwriter guy"
Since everybody in the movie is named after some characteristic they have, they should all be "_________ guys" too...
Edge of my seat.
This is one of the pitch meeting moments of all time
I liked the part when Screenwriter Guy said "Producer Guy."
Chills.
@@Afterword. None of you understand what this all lead to, in the Ryanverse. ...
In the Ryanverse, there is, sadly, no camera man...
But there sure is a CAMERA GUY!!!
I was shocked by how cool that scene was where he invoked the Rule of Cool then they said each other’s names.
But they still don’t think they’re related…even with the same last names 🤔
@@knightlight5497They're basically the equivalent of Babs and Buster Bunny: "No relation!"
@@knightlight5497The fact they have similar surnames and appearances is super strange but barely a coincidence.

"That's less dogs!" Line was said with so much passion for 😂
Ryan appreciating that we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing is so caring.
Time is valuable, but I've given the Internet a lot of it :|
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge this.
When, you know, you could have been doing so much more.
I was literally procrastinating right now... I've never been so called out!
That tradition of keeping a scene only because it looks cool is absolutely a real thing.
They should stop it
It's literally why Michael Bay and JJ Abrams even have careers.
@@zaiENT1Agreed. Scenes in movies should never be cool.
It's absolutely the best tradition
@MrMajestix13 they should all be cut for 10 hours of paint drying
I love how in the first movie it was like a hidden world of assassins and by the fourth, not a single car stopped or tried to run away in middle of warzone at the gate in Paris.
And apparently all of the dancers at that German rave were so high on X they didn’t notice a shootout and kung fu fight.
orange speed sign: DUEL AHEAD
person late for work: 😠
My theory is that John Wick has released so many souls by himself that the rules that govern the reality of his universe are starting to shift. Berserk rules.
@@Alias3141 That happened with the F&F franchise. They existed outside any laws governing the universe we all live...but, ya know, family. So it's cool.(?)
@@franciscodanconia4324 why would all the German ravers be high on Twitter?
4:22 I was laughing so freaking hard at this scene. felt like hot rod when he fell down a mountain. The entire theatre was quiet and serious and i was just hysterically laughing
so hot rod takes place in the john wick universe? sounds good.
The most realistic thing in the whole franchise is the depiction of the way Parisian people drive in the scene at the Triumph Arc roundabout
I like how nobody ever speaks about how John managed to make it all the way up the stairs the second time with only 2-3 minutes left when it took a whole 10 plus minutes to get up the first time.
Because.
im gonna need you to get way off my back about this sir
Rule of cool I suppose lol
Everyone knows stairs get easier with practice. What do you think step training is for? People put baby gates in their houses mostly so their infants can't learn to climb stairs too early and escape the house before they've learned to poop correctly, because your poopy runaway kid out in public would be an embarrassment.
That was actually my one moment where I felt they took it too far.
Coincidentally, the duration of this pitch meeting sketch is also the duration of John Wick 4 if you skip the fight scenes.
Truer words have never been spoken lol
But you watch John Wick for those fight scenes, otherwise why do you watch it? For Keanu. I even want to learn some of his moves.
@@qiamylovestitch3570 Actually, I don't 😊 but they were a cool addition in the first movie, and I enjoyed them there.
@@qiamylovestitch3570 Funny thing. In John Wick 1, I watched for the story and characters.
So like the dog, we killed those off and replaced them with replicants when we made JW 2, 3, and 4.
“He’s a valued customer of the offscreen airlines” got me big time
5:12 Damn it, Ryan! You had to drop that truth bomb in the end, didn't you?
'Donnie Yen as a blind guy who's good at fighting, that sounds familiar.'
'No it doesn't.'
Glad we got that cleared up, LOL
Which movie is that
@@newsrapperRogue One
@@newsrapper Rogue One
Rogue One I believe. @@newsrapper
Thanks, people. I was wracking my brain trying to come with whether Donnie Yen had ever portrayed Zatoichi (the blind swordsman). My mind just doesn’t easily go there to a modern Star Wars travesty. Thank goodness for mental blocks.
Ryan, you should do some pitch meetings for classic movies. Dress up like a 1930s producer and do Wizard of Oz or something.
I think that's a brilliant idea!
nice!
I would love it if he did the Shining or The Good The Bad & The Ugly etc...
You’re a good boy
Yes, do older movies, I don’t watch newer pictures.
I love that this is the first time Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy's names have actually been revealed on-screen. And they're just Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy. I like to believe Ryan is listening to the community. After all, taking input from your viewers is super-easy, barely an inconvenience.
Tell that to disney
Hey, those are their names from the OTHER pitch meetings!
4:04 He's s describing México. How accurate
With all of the amazing naming of characters, I'm not 100% convinced John Wick is not just a candle with a wig.
I refuse to check to make sure, but they missed the opportunity to call the hired murderer Caine instead of Cane, or the movie villain Marqee instead of Marquis, didn't they? It still wouldn't have been actually clever, but at least marginally less boring.
Homophones are *tight*!
Actually, he's a paraffin toilet with a wig. "Candle With A Wig" will be Elton John's megahit tribute song when Wick does die.
🎵 "Candle with a wig" 🎵🎶
There's a very famous (in RPG circles) writer of tabletop games named John Wick whose been writing games since the early 90s. I like to imagine the movies are about him and between writing 7th Sea and Legend of Five Rings he was also a super assassin.
@@richmcgee434Not sure if I'm missing something about your comment but he was in fact called Caine lol. Also marquis is a title of nobility, not a name, hence why the character had it because he's, well, a snobby marquis, like somebody could be a duke or a count.
Only in John Wick movies does it make sense to see Civilians dancing and partying while people are getting brutally murderer right in front of them.
You're right. Because even in the Matrix they reacted to henchmen getting merced.
I only remembered two or three looks of confusion around the water scene. Must've been a great DJ 😂
Seems like now John wick is just like a video game and he kills enemies in front of pre-rendered/animated backgrounds. The scene at the roundabout was the most videogame movie scene i've ever seen. The cars just drive in circles completely unaffected by all those killers and cars on the side and shots fired. They don'T get slower, try to get arround them, just just fly by on a predefined path. Like in a videogame where you have to fight enemies and avoid passing cars. It's really a horrible scene, one car crashes and the camera moves and there is no driver in the car. And then there is this pretty cool scene in the building where the camera is on top and follows John Wick. Also very videogame like, but at least not super-super-stupid.
@@mr.joshua6818 So people don't stop partying when Keanu is "mercing"?
The dancers reacted eventually, so I figured they were all high as a kite
I like how the bad guys always come running up to him instead of shooting at him from a distance. They seem to think if they get within an arms distance from John they will be safe?
The magic bullet-proof suits that protect him from any attack outside of hand to hand distance have been established, so they don't really have a choice about the engagement range.
When Producer guy said “Screenwriter Guy” and then Screenwriter Guy said “Producer Guy” and then Producer guy said “Screenwriter Guy” and then Screenwriter Guy said “Producer Guy” and then Producer guy said “Screenwriter Guy” and then Screenwriter Guy said “Producer Guy” and then Producer guy said “Screenwriter Guy” and then Screenwriter Guy said “Producer Guy” and then Producer guy said “Screenwriter Guy” and then Screenwriter Guy said “Producer Guy”, I felt that.
Ryan really called me out about watching his Pitch Meetings at work. It was completely unexpected and filled me with anxiety.
At least he said thank you?
@@trikstari7687 That toned down the anxiety by at least 3 levels.
Yeah, but he released this on Friday, and I didn't notice it until Saturday, so I'm all good. Besides, I'm currently unemployed, so there's that...
I'm at home and even I got anxious
Ryan's voice fades to an echo as you hear blood rushing in your ears
I loved the opening already. “Double it!” 😅
💀 but tbh I don’t mind movies becoming longer again.. but then there’s directors who absolutely abuse the runtime with unnecessary shit (won’t name any names)
Zack Snyder.
@@firstlast9846you mean like this movie 😂
LOTR
I'll pass on the 32 oz drink.
The funniest thing about this is “the rule of cool” is an actual Hollywood rule. Absolute legend
This is a masterpiece. The timing, expressions, the jokes, my god he's reaching his final form.
Valued customer of OFF-SCREEN AIRLINES 😂😂😂😂😂 That one got me rolling more than John at the Vatican steps bruh 😂😂😂
3:39 That genuine knowing smile Producer Guy gives before uttering Screenwriter Guy's name.
1:28 You know, somehow that never occurred to me 😂
For as silly as the stair scene was, when he finally defeated the henchman and got to the top, the entire theatre cheered
For real lol
"producer guy. Screenwriter guy. OH THAT WAS COOL"
even cooler than it was in the movie 😂
lovelehstuff
For a moment there i thought we'll find out their actual names. Then I thought to myself, nah those ARE their actual names.
I wonder how long he originally had the scene going before he decided to edit it...
I agree. These “rules” always change in order to give John another chance.
Anywho, the stairs scene was the most absurd part from the whole movie.
Meanwhile, the woman in the first John Wick film gets instantly killed for breaking a rule. Then again, she wasn't Winston's friend.
@@Paulafan5and that's why Winston amd the Bowery King were still in trouble 2 movies later
It's absurd on purpose
I actually heard a few people in the theater yell “Seriously?!?” when Meatbag Cannonfodder #1 kicked John back down the stairs.
Yea, THAT was the problem with John Wick 4...... lol
It's a pleasure watching Ryan improve so much over the years.
I’ve been waiting for this one! My boyfriend came in and let me know it had finally been released and I said “oh, you have something for me!?” Haha
That bit about invoking the Rule of Cool was absolutely brilliant.
0:48 "So he's chosen death." Yes, that's my favorite line and I'm positive at some point during the writers meetings that was said because what's more fun than sending Death's Emissary to collect. That's a great premise for an action movie.
Makes me think of the old joke where the punchline is:
"You choose death? All right then -- death by Chi-chi!"
(It's dirty.)
@@KenLieckwhat's chi chi
@@bait5257 Okay, you asked for it...
Native: "You have choice - death or chi chi!"
Captive: "What's chi chi?"
Native: "Tribesmen all line up and one by one they **** you in the ***!"
Captive: "Then I choose death!"
Native: "Alright then -- death by Chi-chi!"
Man, you are reaching new heights with these PMs. I love all those instant denials that get a pass :) "no, it's not" , "no, it IS cool" , absolutely brilliant. Super easy and not inconvenient at all.
Edit: Offscreen Airlines. Dude. You're killin' it.
"He's a valued customer of Off Screen Airlines" LOL
3:30 😂😂the Rule of Cool🤣🤣
Ryan is the most appreciated movie reviewer on RUclips!
ironic that he starts off ripping on the length of the movie but 5 and a half minutes is pretty bloated for this kind of content, gets boring and samey past the 2-minute mark
@helvete_ingres4717 you came within the first 20 minutes, you are his biggest fan.
He's not a movie reviewer.
He’s the most entertaining I think.
@@DoctorJammerthe review is implied by the tone and lines and that’s the entire joke premise of this channel.
“”Three hour movies are tight” is one of your best lines, Ryan.
You’d think you can get John Wick when he’s reloading but he’s just so freaking good at it
"I know you're probably supposed to be doing some kind of work right now." He really knew how to call me out.
"Off screen airlines!" 😂 Simple yet brilliant! As always Ryan delivers another fantastic video! And yes... I was supposed to be doing work when I watched this but somethings are more important than work.
My favorite line in this one.
Yes I was enjoying it and giggling, then this line hit and I had to rewind the video because I didn't hear the next few lines over my laughing.
I agree! This line was fabulous!
They're the best airline ever: always ready, always a direct flight, no lines, no security check, no baggage, no money changing hands. If this were "The Seinfeld Action Movie" we'd see him waiting, waiting, waiting and all the action is offscreen.
No matter what you feel about the John Wick films, we can all agree that this instalment has phenomenal photography.
so did Game of Thrones season 8....
That's FEWER dogs, not LESS dogs. [shoots all guns into space while yelling HEEHAW!]
1:52 the sheer joy on producer guy's face made me happy.
Making a pitch meeting for the Amazon show "The Boys" is super easy, barely an inconvenience. You should do it!
Or for the comic books -- I'd love to see the screenwriter guy and producer guy deal with reading...
@@KenLieckHe already said he won't do those
@@professorx3060 I wasn't really serious The reading bit would probably be the only joke in the whole video...
Oh really !?!
I am amazed that, after all these episodes, he's still coming up with new jokes (besides all the recurring ones of course).
Shots fired in that outtro tho.. I feel personally attacked😂
3:48 "Donkey!"
It felt like Ryan was speaking directly to me at the end
Best lines: wow wow wow wow and dog playes peekaboo 😂
That was cool 😅
1:37 this had me smash that like button immediately. Well done, Sir! Lmfao
Me: I'm definitely not not-working just to watch a Pitch Meeting
Also Me: (oh god, he knows, he knows!!)
3:26 this is among the top bits ever done here. In the good company of bits such as the "floating head," the "eyes turn into dollar signs," and "ditto eyes" that forever haunts my dreams.
'Valued customer of offscreen airlines' 2:42 real gold Ryan. I'm gonna keep saying that one when I watch movies
"Valued customer of offscreen airlines" , "he does this thing where hes, hes John Wick"😂😂😂😂❤
The outro felt like an attack on me personally. I was at home AFTER work THINKING about working over the weekend. You did a really good job there Brian Jorge.
Not me at work opening the notification of a new pitch meeting and dropping everything to watch it immediately
A man with proper priorities 👏 👌 🙌
“He’s a valued customer of offscreen airlines.“ 😂
Ryan had a hard time keeping a straight face on this one. love it.
“That’s less dogs” absolutely and completely sent me 🤣
Come on, it's only _mathematically_ less
You really nailed it with your two characters on this one. Often enough they’re pretty interchangeable in their respective reactions toward each other (which is still hilarious af, don’t get me wrong), but from time to time they feel more fleshed out, like on this one. Keep up the good work, man!
0:34
"Super barely inconvenience really yeah well see he did this thing where he he he was John Wick".
"That'll do it".
forgetting the entire plot of a movie by the time the pitch meeting comes out is tight!
This pitch meeting came out at exactly the right time. People are just excited because seeing great content is tight!
WOWWOWWOW ... WOW!
I've been enjoying your work for many months now... Can't help but binge-watch frequently :)
Please consider doing one of your Pitch Meeting videos on "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension"
Besides being a fun film, you mentioned once that your really try to get the background to match the time period in which the film was produced; I'm thinking mid 1980's would be interesting... Cheers.
Was literally sitting outside of work watching this! Haha
"No it doesn't" needs to be a new tag line. It was so well timed and performed.
Actually my favourite is always his use of ‘Interesting choice!’ which sadly doesn’t get enough use! It applies well to so many dumb decisions made in movies!
One of the best pitch meetings in a while - double it!
4:49 🤣😂
1:37 "Hey! You did a *Star Wars!"*
"Then there's Puppers."
"What's he do?"
"He's a puppy."
I would love a pitch meeting for UHF. The zaniest of Weird Al might break Ryan's brain.
This is brilliant
Yes! I love UHF! Let’s go to Spatula City!!!
Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?
"valued customer of offscreen airlines" is my favourite line in forever
Was waiting for this! Ryan never disappoints
5:16 hey shut up… I already made two sales today so I’m gonna need you to get allllll the way off my back
Make that three I was on a roll 🤑
The "rule of cool" should become a Screen Rant catchphrase
"He's a value customer off-screen Airlines"😂😂
Thanks for that anxiety trigger at the end. Loved it. 🤣
Yeah, that was a thing to put it lightly. Feeling quite attacked right now and I'm not okay.
I love the John Wick movies but the problem with having him survive so many ludicrously certain death injuries (including the staircase scene in this movie alone) is that when he was shot just once at close range, I fully expected him to be totally fine. And even when a grave was shown, I kept expecting the camera to pull back and show John alive, or a character to smirk indicating he wasn't really dead etc. It rather robbed the ending of its emotion for me, cos I had no idea he'd died till the credits
I'm okay with all of that until the ending of the 3rd movie. That fall should've crippled him at worst. He should've been laid up for 6 months. And then the first 3 movies happen over a period of something like 2 weeks, so surviving each movie on its own is fine to me, but in combination, it's practically impossible. Then 4 comes along and it has the stair sequence. Why not show him getting shot in the head point blank range and have him survive that? Why not chop his head off and he sews it back on his shoulders? I mean, if you're not going to be somewhat realistic, then get really crazy with it. This is also why Nobody is a far better movie than the Wick ones, it's way more realistic.
Lol prior to this John only got flesh wounds and hit in non fatal areas.
Also the fight scenes, they're cool but some lasted far too long and the entire race to the church was unnecessary at this point because we all know by now john can kill entire armies by himself, and did we really have to see all those disposable goons get killed for another 20min
@@jackcassidy9963 that dive off the building where he smacked his spine and head repeatedly on the way down was more than enough to kill him. So was falling down that many stairs repeatedly in this movie. You don't need bullets for an injury to be fatal. John was inhuman with how much he survived. So it was logical to think he could survive those bullets too within the rules of this movie universe.
The whole third and fourth movie felt like watching someone play a computer game with a dumb story and invincibility cheat activated... yawn
I only recently learned of the passing of Lance Reddick and I assumed it happened somewhere during the filming and so they added his character's funeral scene to the movie as a way to pay respect BUT NO! they did that before it happened! and that's just.. incredibly unfortunate. RIP
It’s kinda eery when that happens. Like Chadwick Boseman was sent to the spirit realm in Black Panther and ended up coming back but then in real life he passed and it reminded me of all those scenes.
Producer Guy at 3:35: "You know, the funny thing is, I know you're playing me...but you're right."
Watching it seconds after it releases is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
They need to put this phrase into films
It's actually 'tight'.
@@AdiNarayanMandalemula851 Hey, shuddup!

Oh wow wow wow

How could Ryan miss having Clancy Brown overseeing the duel and telling them only one can survive, similar to his "There can be only one!" in Highlander?
"Donny Yen as blind man who's good at fighting, it sounds familiar" I died
OFF SCREEN AIRLINES!!! lmao. dead.
"He's a valued customer of Offscreen Airlines", best line
