The action was awesome! But that ending....... do you want John Wick 5? It looks like the studio is trying to make it happen. What was your reaction?

I think if they do the 5th (and I mean once Reeves and Stahelski confirm a story), it is a golden opportunity to bring it back down to the smaller scale of the 1st movie. Be a great way to round out the series. But if it ended here, great swan song.
33:02 it's what they both represent that matters. Taking the finger and ring means John will live but at the cost of never having a normal life again. Caine giving his eyes means he'll retire but at the cost of never seeing his daughter grow. They both get what they want, but are not able to fully enjoy it.
John dying at the time he did was his perfect ending. He never could have gone back to a normal life without his wife, but wanted to die a man who loved and was loved, and not as Baba Yaga. He did the impossible, he got out again, and he had nothing left to fight for. Everyone kept asking where does it end, and that was where it ended, with him finally out from under The Table.
100% agree!! All of those somewhat subtle, specific little physical details/actions/movements that Donny added to show us how his character can still be a highly skilled deadly assassin despite being blind. It was a masterful performance.
I'm so lucky I saw this with my mom in the movie theatre when it came out. The punches in the beginning were so loud in the theatre. It was gorgeous. The action is brutal and beautiful.
In fact, the actor who plays Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson) said in an interview that he received the opportunity to play this character thanks to Halle Berry , since after she participated in the John Wick movie 3 Lionsgate informed her about that character and she gave his name
Loving the great suits Gentlemen, also this movie has to be one of the best Action Movies of all time with how much work everyone put into it, and forget Sven for his excellent performance as Klaus 😂 I am Klaus...
i think the table taking body parts to get out is more about symbolism. like the one guy cant see his daughter without eyes and John cant wear his wedding ring without the ring finger
John Wick Chapter 4 is honestly the best movie of the franchise I loved all the chapters but this one is definitely up there the action, choreography, colors, and characters is what makes the films great along with the storyline Keanu Reeves is the best actor who portrayed the role of John Wick very well thank you for giving us such a good iconic character over the years.
Apart from Mission Impossible, I think John Wick is the only other action movie that keeps getting better. John Wick 4 was a beautiful crafted piece of art. Set pieces and visuals were stunning, stunts and fight choreography were innovative and jaw dropping, amazing cast where everyone gets a chance to shine. My favourites were Scott Adkins(Killa Harkan), Donnie Yen (Caine), Rina Sawayama (Akira).
The big guy with the surprising martial arts skills is Scott Adkins, one of the most impressive and underappreciated martial artists in Hollywood. If you want to see monsters of men beating the crap out of each other in some of the most entertaining choreography, watch him and Michael Jai White in "Undisputed 2." Simple plot, phenomenal action!
Winston cried when John said take me home, he said Farewell my Son to the grave. King had John's dog with him at the grave, I 100% believe John is dead after that beating he took throughout this movie and because he'd never give away his dog
What an intro!!! Cinematography & Choreography was on point with the Osaka & Paris house sequences (with the overhead shots) the highlights for me in a long movie that needed a little trimming down along with slightly better line readings from Keanu :) Why does the amazing Hiroyuki Sanada die in almost every Hollywood project he gets cast in?! Rina Sawayama who played his daughter and of course Donnie Yen were also fantastic! Should leave on a high at 4 movies with Stahelski & Keanu moving on to new projects as Len Wiseman shoots the Ana De Armas 'The Ballerina' spin-off & the 3-part 'The Continental' TV Show comes out later this year. RIP Lance Reddick!
The director Chad Stahelski and Keanu initially affirmed that John is dead, but Stahelski later stated that the ending was intentionally left ambiguous and open to interpretation.
Like Cowboy Bebop. Both John and Spike died on some outdoor steps after a fire fight. At one point, Keanu was supposed to BE Spike in a movie. Years and years ago.
@@bingsterc7621I wouldn't say it's "SO OBVIOUS." Why would they frame the ending like that to give him a dramatic, peaceful death, if it was fake? Why would the Bowery King keep his dog if John survived? It's certainly possible but it's not at all obvious, as in my opinion it makes more sense that he's dead. Give him some actual rest finally. We all know that if he actually survived, someone will still be coming after him eventually for whatever reason. And most importantly, for those that want John Wick 5, why would we WANT him to come back again? After a finale like this, how do you just bring him back to life revealing his death was fake, just for more action? How do you top Chapter 4, it would only sour this ending. Let characters stay dead, please.
Man I really wish more people recognized Scott Adkins, from the trailer I recognized him through the prosthetics. I love him as Yuri Boyka, the most complete fighter in the world. Him and Donny Yen were my hype reasons for seeing this And that overhead shotgun scene was straight out of videogames, the birds eye third person/top down view. It's such a distinctly recognizable view in certain games since the 80s
I'm so glad that shotgun scene was not shown in the trailers. Just one shot with the gun before the camera went up, but that's it. It was absolutely insane and needed to be seen with no expectation. The fact everyone thought the nunchuck scene would be the ultimate scene is just telling how damn good these movies are.
According to the movie's writer, Akira actually managed to kill Caine in their confrontation, but they chose to leave it out of the film both for running time and added suspense. The fact that they're working on a spin-off AND are apparently working on John Wick 5 suggests we'll eventually learn whether or not that's canonical or not.
I massively disagree with you guys. I want this to be the last John Wick movie and thought it was a perfect ending. Just because you've gotten so suspicious of characters not actually dying in movies, does not mean that the film left it "open for interpretation". What would John even do with his life after that duel? Everything he's ever loved is gone. Him dying was the only sensible way to end this series. And I'd be slightly disappointed, if they chose to go on with a fifth installment. After all: Rules, consequences.
Wick's poker hand was the Ace of Clubs and Spades, with the 8s of Clubs and Spades. This hand in poker is also known as "The Dead Man's hand." It is rumored to be the hand of poker that Wild Bill Hickock had when he was shot and killed. Some who believe in this "curse" will even fold the hand rather than play it.
I just needed to see the beginning of this reaction to love and like the video. I loved the suits (and I cracked a laugh when I noticed Mason has the Toretto white t-shirt beneath the coat) it makes me happy that you guys do what you like and are free to enjoy making introes like this one, just because you love it. I really like how original and real you are. Also, love your dynamic as friends and how you get each others phrases and get what the other is saying. Again, you're awesome!
I absolutely loved the Caine/Koji fight. Just going from the loud chaos before the scene, compared to Caines quick, almost silent strikes was so good. Also, putting Scott Adkins in a fat suit 😂
R.I.P. Lance Reddick who played Charon the Concierge! Greetings from Germany❤ PS: Klaus is a very famous club security in the Berghain Club you see here in Berlin, Germany! Cool location for the fight scenes!
The thing is, though, this franchise as a whole, delivers the perfect Hollywood stories ever. The stakes are higher, and it’s not one hundred percent about this repetitive, non-stop killing spree of violence. No. It solely focuses on how these three assassins, under the High Table, trying to get out of this mess they’re in. But here’s when this quote comes in, “Those who cling to life, die. But those who cling to death, live.” It’s very poetic and symbolizes Shimaze, Caine, and John’s destiny. It even comes full circle by the end.
What's really cool is the John Wick franchise will hopefully result in recognition by the Academy Awards of stunt work and win an Oscar. Keanu Reeves has made an emphatic distinction in interviews between what he does, performs--safe action, and what the professional stunt workers--do-dangerous skills. Not that I've seen many other movies, but John Wick 4 should win an Oscar for cinematography. John Wick 4 has a world-wide box office of over $430 million as of today at the box office; waiting to see how high sales takes it.
I always understood that last exchange between Reeves and McShane as a return to the last measure of peace and freedom John had truly actualized with his wife Helen. Asking Winston to return him home by his "loving wife" Helen. My heart broke there seeing McShane swell with emotion at his request. What an unbelievable culmination to an unbelievable franchise.
What got us when we watched it: the call back to the movie "The Warriors" at the end with the DJ. The fact that the person in the first movie who led the clean up crue was one of the main characters in that movie and the action geared towards John the whole series amazing!!
The scene at the beginning of the film in the desert was done without digital enhancement. The place where John Wick meets the Elder is an actual rock where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed.
“Who knows?” When asked if John is in heaven or hell. The King laughing after he says it. And then John’s dog looking off in the distance right before the camera cuts. Whether we get a John wick 5 or not, I’m gonna believe he’s still alive
@silence3314 I noticed the dog looking off into the distance as well!!! That dog was always attuned to John's presence...so I thought the camera would pan off to the side and show John (watching from afar), but the cameras did not show him. I still hold out hope that he is alive but hiding out somewhere. I am glad the Bowery King is taking care of the dog, too.
Incredible movie that went beyond my wildest expectations. So much so, 3 seeings in IMAX wasn't enough. Great reaction as always with a Killa Opening Guys.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can't tell you guys how much I love the channel and videos. I watch a video each day if I can. Love revisiting older videos and look forward to all the new ones. On days like today when depression has clouded most of the day, just getting to relax and enjoy a video from my favorite channel helps calm the mind. Thank you guys for continuing to be a positive light for many.
OH MY! that intro was...*chef kiss.* I was hoping for a reaction from you guys, John wicks universe is so amazing I would watch every movie. It's always fantastic to join you guys in a reaction, The Oaks expressions are always on point.
How dare you guys release this on a Tuesday morning while I'm at work. I need to be home, on the couch, with a beer and some snacks ready willing and able to watch this 🔥reaction.
This movie hit differently with the death of Lance Reddick (Charon) right before the film was released. Similar to what happened with Ledger passed away before The Dark Knight was released.
Actually, Lance Riddick will appear in the spin-off Ballerina. He had filmed his scenes before his death. Something that really caught my eye. Winston speaking Russian, referring to John as his son and the tattoo above his thumb.🤔
Everything with Mr. Nobody and Caine were my favorite moments besides John Wick himself of course. My all time favorite scene of the entire movie was the 1 shot with the dragon's breath. My jaw was literally on the floor for that sequence and then of course the Mr. Nody scene to follow it. He was my favorite on top of Caine and John Wick's relationship. I want a Mr. Nobody, Caine, John Wick, and Akira film so darn badly! The only gripe I had about the film was the sequence when Winston was walking with the giant paintings behind him. It just felt longer than it needed to be to get the point across that it was trying to make. It took me out of the film because I was just like dang he's still walking. And the falling out the window as you mentioned for the same reasoning you all stated. Also, very random and I don't know if you all would even do it as a reaction, I'm not even sure if it has any reactions on RUclips at all. But I would love if you all could check out the film Super Dark Times and at least let me know what you all thought of it
Ever since y'all reacted to John Wick (and I've probably replayed that a dozen time), I've been waiting this group to react to John Wick 4 ever since i've seen it in the theatre.
The director mentioned that the over head shooting scene was inspired by Hong Kong Massacre after watching gameplay or a trailer for it if i remember correctly but yea i can see MGS non stealth option.
The guy in the fat suit is Scott Adkins and is a phenomenal martial artist, and an actor to boot. I think you guys should check out the Undisputed (Boyka) movie series. He's not in the first, but is in all the rest, taking over the franchise.
I've seen this great piece of action entertainment 5 times in the theater, and about 7 at home. It's just so good, and probably my favorite so far this year. Was looking forward most to Donnie Yen, and he didn't disappoint.
I took Caine as someone who the table said he couldn't SEE his daughter anymore so he willingly gave up his sight to be able to still sit from a distance and hear her play music.
yall mentioned the silence while filming the dancing in the club, and you’re completely right. i did background acting as an extra in a club scene for a show and for two days straight we were just jumping around and dancing in total silence it was sooo awkward haha
29:31 AA88 (kicker unknown but Queen is the most speculated on ) is actually known as the Dead Man`s hand ( Wild Bill Hickok was shot while playing poker and later they saw he had this hand ) it is a very well hidden hint for the ending.
I always thought that John Wick was a ‘low magic’ setting. As in, John literally can not get injured, unless it’s for an ‘important’ reason. That the Table’s thing with ‘deals’ is that they’re magically enforced. It’s what would happen to a modernized magical setting, with hardly any magic in it. It’s a masquerade, and nobody ‘calls it magic’, but once you start looking, it’s all over the place.
Fun fact: The guy who plays "Killa" is martial artist Scott Adkins in a fat suit. He's said that most of his fight with Keanu was barely rehearsed at all. Reeves, at that point was so proficient in the ways of various martial art's that the two of them were just able to go at each other freely.
Something I noticed about the series is that each film represents one of the Five Stages of Grief; Ch. 1 is Denial; John tries to go back to how things were when he adopted the dog. Ch. 2 is Anger; Admittedly, this one fits best because it is the next in the sequence, but John's anger towards Santino is a driving force Ch. 3 is Bargaining; The entire film, John is making, or trying to, deal with people (Earnst, Doc, Sofia, Berrada, The Elder, and Winston), and even Winston makes a deal with the Adjudicator to keep his position. Ch. 4 is Depression and Acceptance; The entire film is about John and his friends being hurt or killed until the end, where John accepts death. Something else I noticed: The card game symbolizes every character's fate in the film. John gets the "Deadman's Hand" and is the second to die of the four players. Caine gets a good hand with 4 Nines and 1 Four, but Four is associated with death in Japanese culture. The final credit scene shows his fate is uncertain. Tracker gets a Royal Flush, and he and his dog survive the film's events. Killa gets the best hand, "5 of a Kind," but he cheats; and has the weakest form of that hand; 5 Twos. He dies first because he broke the rules of his own game.
All of these movies John has survived despite losing everything and everyone he cares about. I hope it ends there. He deserves peace. And peace only comes to the dead in this world. Let him be with his wife…
32:27 Fun fact: one of those takes he accidentally pulled Scott’s lip. Since it hurt him really bad the second day, he pulled back his upper lip, exposing his teeth just like you see in this clip so Keanu won’t pull his lip again. The Director called Scott back to see the monitors and Scott believed that Chad was going to tell him off but instead, he said to do it again😂😂😂
39:46 to 39:47 that pistol the 9mm Pit Viper from Taran Tactical Innovations looks really powerful and intimidating. It looks perfect for an original hero of your own creation in the Video Game Universe of Resident Evil.
That was a very good point, that some of the hijinx in the later John Wick movies is just as unrealistic as anything in the Fast & Furious movies. However, I'd disagree that you don't go into a John Wick movie wanting it to be realistic, since the big reason the first JW movie was so successful was how grounded it was.
Oh WOW! I absolutely LOVED that fantastic intro! I rewatched that quite alot of times! You're all sharp dressed men looking very nice in your suits (Quinn looking especially dashing!😍) action & storyline still top notch & was cool to see Clancy Brown guest appear! & it's a euphoric feeling getting lost into a fantasy world & storyline, so I completely agree with Quinn about watching them. Excellent content guys! 😎
Did anyone catch that Winston said "Goodbye my son". In the Trailers they used Terry Jacks song Seasons in the Sun, which has the line, Goodbye Papa it's hard to die.Winston was the substitute Father to John. Currently Keanu is filming Constantine 2 and he finished a spin-off Wick movie called Ballerina, which connects to the Ballerina of JW2 of the Romani Ruska.
Who else was waiting for the dragon breath fight whenever they kept bringing up video games? The director said he played a lot of Hotline Miami in between making the movies, and that scene was partially designed by a game designer. If anyone remembers John Wick Hex that came out after Chapter 2, some of the moves were even inspired by that game.
Earlier on I never really caught the theme of bodily harm as consequence for assorted people. Reminds me of what my dad always told me, "You only own your body, and your word" So, there's really only one thing the Table asks, which is...all of you.
The way they've weaved Greek myths into the John Wick universe elevates what would usually be "just an action movie" into Art with a capital A. Amazing story-telling with beautiful cinematography and choreography. *Mwah* 🤌🏻
The action was awesome! But that ending....... do you want John Wick 5? It looks like the studio is trying to make it happen. What was your reaction? Where does this Wick film rank out of the 4 films?

Absolutely yes! Love seeing my celebrity husband on screen 😚
I think if they do the 5th (and I mean once Reeves and Stahelski confirm a story), it is a golden opportunity to bring it back down to the smaller scale of the 1st movie. Be a great way to round out the series. But if it ended here, great swan song.
my rank would be john wick 4,3,1 and 2. The reason i put 2 on last because it has less good fight except the pensil one.
Definitely want a 5th
!!!!!!! Hiroyuki Sanada does LIVE IN BULLET TRAIN 🚄!!!???? Right !? RIGHT!? I think I’m right.
Oddly, I felt ok with John dying. He seemed at peace and ready.
However, in case he isn’t dead, I’m ready for the next movie!!!!
John wick 5 is confirmed i heard
33:02 it's what they both represent that matters. Taking the finger and ring means John will live but at the cost of never having a normal life again. Caine giving his eyes means he'll retire but at the cost of never seeing his daughter grow. They both get what they want, but are not able to fully enjoy it.
John dying at the time he did was his perfect ending. He never could have gone back to a normal life without his wife, but wanted to die a man who loved and was loved, and not as Baba Yaga. He did the impossible, he got out again, and he had nothing left to fight for. Everyone kept asking where does it end, and that was where it ended, with him finally out from under The Table.
And then JW5 was green lit 😂
Keeanu Reeves and Tom Cruise are the only OG who can still make actions movies that blow our minds
Bro how can you forget Jackie
Denzel is still up there with the Equalizer movies
@@yblackie Man is up in age, but still entertains.
@@yblackie Too old
@@usmanshaikh3935 I feel like Jackie would do great in more serious dramatic films at his age. He was great in the foreigner
Seeing Charon die hit hard, especially if you saw it opening weekend, barely a week after Lance's death.
The theater experience of this movie was just pure brilliance. By far the best action movie for me!
Donnie Yen was freaking amazing!
You guys have to watch Ip Man 1-4 they are goated
100% agree!! All of those somewhat subtle, specific little physical details/actions/movements that Donny added to show us how his character can still be a highly skilled deadly assassin despite being blind. It was a masterful performance.
He is always amazing
He is a master, no surprise there 😅
In fact he choreographed many action scenes in this movie
I'm so lucky I saw this with my mom in the movie theatre when it came out. The punches in the beginning were so loud in the theatre. It was gorgeous. The action is brutal and beautiful.
If your mom wasn't overloaded with the action and violence and actually loved it, then she's a certified OG 😊
@@hippityhoppitus my mom loves action movies. She always goes with me. We had a good time watching JW4.
@@teresaluz975 Your mom is officially cool in my books 😎
SAME I WAS IN THE IMAX. MY EARS WERE EXPLODING LITTERLY! (i was in the biggest movie theter in the world to watch it)
Those punches set the tone so well in the theater. It was like his fists were gunshots.
In fact, the actor who plays Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson) said in an interview that he received the opportunity to play this character thanks to Halle Berry , since after she participated in the John Wick movie 3 Lionsgate informed her about that character and she gave his name
Very few people have mentioned the fact that Winston says “Goodbye my Son” when he touches the headstone. Makes a whole lot of sense! 😁
That tattoo.... 😁😁😁😁
Loving the great suits Gentlemen, also this movie has to be one of the best Action Movies of all time with how much work everyone put into it, and forget Sven for his excellent performance as Klaus 😂
I am Klaus...
Haha I. Am. Klaus.
i think the table taking body parts to get out is more about symbolism. like the one guy cant see his daughter without eyes and John cant wear his wedding ring without the ring finger
John Wick Chapter 4 is honestly the best movie of the franchise I loved all the chapters but this one is definitely up there the action, choreography, colors, and characters is what makes the films great along with the storyline Keanu Reeves is the best actor who portrayed the role of John Wick very well thank you for giving us such a good iconic character over the years.
Absolutely love that you guys went all out for the John Wick 4 reaction by wearing black suits! 💯😎
🤜🤛😁

I came looking for the comment that shouted out that intro!! The boys have stepped up their GAME!
i think the reason the marquis went for blades in the first place is because he already planned to nominate caine
The director Chad Stahelski and Keanu initially affirmed that John is dead, but Stahelski later stated that the ending was intentionally left ambiguous and open to interpretation.
how the fuck is that open to interpretation. He's clearly dead
They say that but then admit there’s a fifth movie in production
Like Cowboy Bebop. Both John and Spike died on some outdoor steps after a fire fight. At one point, Keanu was supposed to BE Spike in a movie. Years and years ago.
It’s SO OBVIOUS that they faked his death.

Keanu Reeves’ been slaying it as John Wick, as alway! The action sequences are just *chef‘s kiss*
Also, your outfits are amazing!

The fact that they're working on a spin-off AND are apparently working on John Wick 5 suggests we'll eventually learn whether or not that's canonical or not.
It probably won't be canon anymore, kind of like John Wick's origin in the spin off comic was invalid when Chapter 3 came out
I massively disagree with you guys. I want this to be the last John Wick movie and thought it was a perfect ending. Just because you've gotten so suspicious of characters not actually dying in movies, does not mean that the film left it "open for interpretation".

Donnie Yen was a amazing addition I loved his character. The water rave is my favorite scene in the entire series. Incredible in IMAX.
I absolutely loved the Caine/Koji fight. Just going from the loud chaos before the scene, compared to Caines quick, almost silent strikes was so good.
Also, putting Scott Adkins in a fat suit 😂
"He aimed for the bushes" 😂
R.I.P. Lance Reddick who played Charon the Concierge! Greetings from Germany❤ PS: Klaus is a very famous club security in the Berghain Club you see here in Berlin, Germany! Cool location for the fight scenes!
I get misty eyed when his character died. Such an amazing actor. Loved him in Fringe and Lost.
I love how Scott Adkins' death face is just him trying not to get his lip pulled accidentally by Keanu! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it when they do these cool intros!
Thank you for watching it! 🤘
The thing is, though, this franchise as a whole, delivers the perfect Hollywood stories ever.

The woman that took over John Wick's "family" is played by Tonks in Harry Potter - thought The Oak would like that :)
The scene at the beginning of the film in the desert was done without digital enhancement. The place where John Wick meets the Elder is an actual rock where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed.
There is a thing I only realized when I saw this reaction: Winston's tattoo.
He was a member of Ruska Roma this whole time!

People always forget how John survives all that falling. He toughened up by punching wood wrapped in rope.
“Who knows?” When asked if John is in heaven or hell. The King laughing after he says it. And then John’s dog looking off in the distance right before the camera cuts. Whether we get a John wick 5 or not, I’m gonna believe he’s still alive
I also like that the Bowery king is taking care of John's dog,
@@mckenzie.latham91 exactly
@silence3314 I noticed the dog looking off into the distance as well!!! That dog was always attuned to John's presence...so I thought the camera would pan off to the side and show John (watching from afar), but the cameras did not show him. I still hold out hope that he is alive but hiding out somewhere.
I am glad the Bowery King is taking care of the dog, too.
Y'all looking fresh and clean in those suits! 😂🙌🏻
😁🤘
Incredible movie that went beyond my wildest expectations.
So much so, 3 seeings in IMAX wasn't enough.
Great reaction as always with a Killa Opening Guys....
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At the cemetary scene the dog turns his head like looking at someone maybe, who knows maybe it was john
I can't tell you guys how much I love the channel and videos. I watch a video each day if I can. Love revisiting older videos and look forward to all the new ones. On days like today when depression has clouded most of the day, just getting to relax and enjoy a video from my favorite channel helps calm the mind. Thank you guys for continuing to be a positive light for many.
OH MY! that intro was...*chef kiss.* I was hoping for a reaction from you guys, John wicks universe is so amazing I would watch every movie. It's always fantastic to join you guys in a reaction, The Oaks expressions are always on point.
How dare you guys release this on a Tuesday morning while I'm at work. I need to be home, on the couch, with a beer and some snacks ready willing and able to watch this 🔥reaction.
😂😂😂 it will be here awaiting you
This movie hit differently with the death of Lance Reddick (Charon) right before the film was released. Similar to what happened with Ledger passed away before The Dark Knight was released.
I came for John Wick, I stayed to see the guys in suits. Everything about this reaction has a very cool aesthetic!
I never realised the first time that in the card game, John gets the hand of a pair of eights and a pair of aces which is known as a 'dead man's hand'
Actually, Lance Riddick will appear in the spin-off Ballerina. He had filmed his scenes before his death. Something that really caught my eye. Winston speaking Russian, referring to John as his son and the tattoo above his thumb.🤔
Everything with Mr. Nobody and Caine were my favorite moments besides John Wick himself of course. My all time favorite scene of the entire movie was the 1 shot with the dragon's breath. My jaw was literally on the floor for that sequence and then of course the Mr. Nody scene to follow it. He was my favorite on top of Caine and John Wick's relationship. I want a Mr. Nobody, Caine, John Wick, and Akira film so darn badly!
The only gripe I had about the film was the sequence when Winston was walking with the giant paintings behind him. It just felt longer than it needed to be to get the point across that it was trying to make. It took me out of the film because I was just like dang he's still walking. And the falling out the window as you mentioned for the same reasoning you all stated.
Also, very random and I don't know if you all would even do it as a reaction, I'm not even sure if it has any reactions on RUclips at all. But I would love if you all could check out the film Super Dark Times and at least let me know what you all thought of it
THE INTRO!!!! All the props for how good that is and using the theme music is great
I honestly think John Wick Chapter 4 is the best ACTION movie I've ever seen.
Ever since y'all reacted to John Wick (and I've probably replayed that a dozen time), I've been waiting this group to react to John Wick 4 ever since i've seen it in the theatre.
He died from finally being at peace and not fighting to live. He let himself die (we're led to believe) on his terms finally.
The director's choice of the top view actions scenes are like James Wan's Malignant! Please watch this film!
And they were actually inspired by a video game
The director mentioned that the over head shooting scene was inspired by Hong Kong Massacre after watching gameplay or a trailer for it if i remember correctly but yea i can see MGS non stealth option.
The guy in the fat suit is Scott Adkins and is a phenomenal martial artist, and an actor to boot.
I think you guys should check out the Undisputed (Boyka) movie series. He's not in the first, but is in all the rest, taking over the franchise.
the way caine moves is fascinating 17:08 trust john wick franchise to make a blind assassin visually epic to watch and believable
I've seen this great piece of action entertainment 5 times in the theater, and about 7 at home. It's just so good, and probably my favorite so far this year. Was looking forward most to Donnie Yen, and he didn't disappoint.
U guys are now my favourite reaction channel keep up the good work and love the intro at the beginning ❤
The cards John held in the poker scene were the legendary Dead Man's Hand. Look it up.
That ending is a pretty great homage to Cowboy Bebop ending. Brings tears to my eyes 🥹
I took Caine as someone who the table said he couldn't SEE his daughter anymore so he willingly gave up his sight to be able to still sit from a distance and hear her play music.
I loved your intro! Great reaction, as well.
As a Coney Island native I love the call back to the DJ in “The Warriors.”
This is definitely my favorite JW movie♥️
yall mentioned the silence while filming the dancing in the club, and you’re completely right. i did background acting as an extra in a club scene for a show and for two days straight we were just jumping around and dancing in total silence it was sooo awkward haha
29:31 AA88 (kicker unknown but Queen is the most speculated on ) is actually known as the Dead Man`s hand ( Wild Bill Hickok was shot while playing poker and later they saw he had this hand ) it is a very well hidden hint for the ending.
46:31 - wooow, I can't believe I'm hearing this old classic in a 2023 movie!!!
I always thought that John Wick was a ‘low magic’ setting. As in, John literally can not get injured, unless it’s for an ‘important’ reason. That the Table’s thing with ‘deals’ is that they’re magically enforced. It’s what would happen to a modernized magical setting, with hardly any magic in it.
It’s a masquerade, and nobody ‘calls it magic’, but once you start looking, it’s all over the place.
Fun fact: The guy who plays "Killa" is martial artist Scott Adkins in a fat suit. He's said that most of his fight with Keanu was barely rehearsed at all. Reeves, at that point was so proficient in the ways of various martial art's that the two of them were just able to go at each other freely.
@Badd Medicine That scene with the dragon's breath was straight from the John Wick video game. The camera movements and over-the-top shots.
Keanu Reeves is amazing as John Wick throughout the John Wick franchise.
Something I noticed about the series is that each film represents one of the Five Stages of Grief;
Ch. 1 is Denial; John tries to go back to how things were when he adopted the dog.
Ch. 2 is Anger; Admittedly, this one fits best because it is the next in the sequence, but John's anger towards Santino is a driving force
Ch. 3 is Bargaining; The entire film, John is making, or trying to, deal with people (Earnst, Doc, Sofia, Berrada, The Elder, and Winston), and even Winston makes a deal with the Adjudicator to keep his position.
Ch. 4 is Depression and Acceptance; The entire film is about John and his friends being hurt or killed until the end, where John accepts death.
Something else I noticed: The card game symbolizes every character's fate in the film.
John gets the "Deadman's Hand" and is the second to die of the four players.
Caine gets a good hand with 4 Nines and 1 Four, but Four is associated with death in Japanese culture. The final credit scene shows his fate is uncertain.
Tracker gets a Royal Flush, and he and his dog survive the film's events.
Killa gets the best hand, "5 of a Kind," but he cheats; and has the weakest form of that hand; 5 Twos. He dies first because he broke the rules of his own game.
All of these movies John has survived despite losing everything and everyone he cares about. I hope it ends there. He deserves peace. And peace only comes to the dead in this world. Let him be with his wife…
32:27
Fun fact: one of those takes he accidentally pulled Scott’s lip. Since it hurt him really bad the second day, he pulled back his upper lip, exposing his teeth just like you see in this clip so Keanu won’t pull his lip again.
The Director called Scott back to see the monitors and Scott believed that Chad was going to tell him off but instead, he said to do it again😂😂😂
Love the outfit guys!😂 Let's gooo!
LETSS GOOOOO
😱 damn guys, what a intro!!! 😅😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the Warriors nod with the DJ calling out the boppers
Guys, you all looking AMAZING in the suits haha...
😁🤘🤜🤛
39:46 to 39:47 that pistol the 9mm Pit Viper from Taran Tactical Innovations looks really powerful and intimidating.
It looks perfect for an original hero of your own creation in the Video Game Universe of Resident Evil.
That was a very good point, that some of the hijinx in the later John Wick movies is just as unrealistic as anything in the Fast & Furious movies. However, I'd disagree that you don't go into a John Wick movie wanting it to be realistic, since the big reason the first JW movie was so successful was how grounded it was.
Oh WOW! I absolutely LOVED that fantastic intro! I rewatched that quite alot of times! You're all sharp dressed men looking very nice in your suits (Quinn looking especially dashing!😍) action & storyline still top notch & was cool to see Clancy Brown guest appear! & it's a euphoric feeling getting lost into a fantasy world & storyline, so I completely agree with Quinn about watching them. Excellent content guys! 😎
Did anyone catch that Winston said "Goodbye my son". In the Trailers they used Terry Jacks song Seasons in the Sun, which has the line, Goodbye Papa it's hard to die.Winston was the substitute Father to John. Currently Keanu is filming Constantine 2 and he finished a spin-off Wick movie called Ballerina, which connects to the Ballerina of JW2 of the Romani Ruska.
Who else was waiting for the dragon breath fight whenever they kept bringing up video games? The director said he played a lot of Hotline Miami in between making the movies, and that scene was partially designed by a game designer. If anyone remembers John Wick Hex that came out after Chapter 2, some of the moves were even inspired by that game.
Earlier on I never really caught the theme of bodily harm as consequence for assorted people. Reminds me of what my dad always told me, "You only own your body, and your word"
So, there's really only one thing the Table asks, which is...all of you.
this may be the best intro you have ever done. I applaud you all
Wow you guys really brought out the swag for John Wick 4: Ready, Willing and Able
This is why i love this react channel, so dedicated, feels like you guys are part of the High Table organization too!!!
🤜🤛🤘😁 we appreciate this!
The overhead shot, tactical team going room to room: the Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise classic Minority Report.
The way they've weaved Greek myths into the John Wick universe elevates what would usually be "just an action movie" into Art with a capital A. Amazing story-telling with beautiful cinematography and choreography. *Mwah* 🤌🏻
