Had to learn so much about each specific firearms before actually figuring out the details. But it all paid off (hopefully). I did manage to find some crucial hidden details and I now have newfound appreciation for Keanu Reeves and Director Chad Stahelski. They've really done a wonderful job and I hope among the 31 details that I found, at least some of them will blow your mind.
They use plug guns, so they cycle and eject cases but nothing comes out the end so they can fire them at close range. he talks about it on a Joe Rogan pod cast
They actually invented a new type of prop gun, it cycles and ejects bullets but has 0 force coming out the muzzle of the gun. I couldn't find the exact link but the Director talks about it on one of the Corridor Crew video break downs.
The camera work, choreography, music, and overall execution of this movie was on a tier of its own. This was peak cinema, a perfect conclusion to John's story.
Can't agree anymore I heard they gonna have a sequel to John Wick with One of the female characters in the movie. Excited to see what they come up with.
My only complaint was the length. I’m the first 3 at the end of each fight I was left wanting more. I felt like most of the fights in this one about a minute before they finished I was ready for them to be done. Especially ones like the one in the road where it got kinda repetitive. There are only so many moves to do… over all tho still amazing
@@T-M-J98Wrong! He saw him watch a movie (while he was watching it). He didn't claim that he was present during the entire event. One can glimpse at an event without being present during the entire time.
4:00 the shell casings are not all CGI as the prop gun Keanu uses in most shots is a blank-firing pistol however it has what's called a "plugged barrel" meaning the muzzle end has been welded shut so that no concussive blast exits the barrel. This is very important because blanks actually have more gunpowder in them than live ammunition because a) blank guns need more gunpowder to function because they don't have the back pressure of a projectile leaving the barrel (blank guns also have modifications done to the locking surfaces so they have less resistance against the recoil) -- and b) to make the blank gun safe to use in close proximity to actors. The drawback of the plugged barrel is they produce no muzzle flash. Those are added easily with CGI in post. I've worked on several sets as a Film Tech and chatted up the on-set weapons masters to learn all this.
black-firing - you mean blank-firing, right? Yeah, I think I've seen some interview with the director (or maybe Keanu) and they were talking about exactly this you describe.
It's actually not even a blank gun. They use either some kind of electronic or co2 powered prop gun, which likely ejects shell casings and keeps the volume at a safe level. There's a clip of Ana de Armas using one for one of her scenes, and you can see the slide operating and hear a little pop each time she fires. Chad Stahleski also referenced the prop guns used in response to the Alec Baldwin shooting.
6:56 I assumed he lowered the motion sensor because he realised that the enemies would be crouching while moving. So he moves the device at a crouching level.
Or perhaps he uses motion sensors to shoot at the sound. Instinctively, he puts it at head height to shoot to kill, but due to his loyalty to Osaka and unwillingness to serve the high table, he instead goes for incapacitating shots, therefore he loweres the motion sensor. This works in conjunction with the cane height theory.
11:04 I've seen somewhere that the gun he disassembled is the Pit Viper pistol he got from Bowery King. Described to have "ferocious fangs". And here we actually got to see why it was described that way.
Exactly. The frame (not the barrel, which is what the Canadian Lad mistakenly refers to the weaponised portion as) has two sharp prongs right at the furthest end, which is what John uses to stab the last guy with.
Thank you TTI for this gun, i mean you can see it in the movie at normal speeds. As soon as i heard the name of the gun i looked it up in the movie theatre and saw why it was called the pit viper then i saw the price😢
@@2437omarf it is expensive (not sure if it is rare), that's why John reacted that way. Kind of like questioning way as if he never seen that gun personally before but knows about it. "How did you get this?" Then Bowery King went "I know a guy, who knows a guy, who shot a guy~" John Wick never questioned or reacted to the other guns he received in the previous movies. He's probably very familiar with them and now he's like "I finally got my hands on this snake" 😆
This movie came out at a time when other movies had no plot and were being released in a rush.. the conclusion to John Wick's story was really amazing and emotional Truly a masterpiece series
Kane lowered his motion sensors not only because of the height difference but because most enemies would be crouching. Most of all the bow users, you can see them crouching most of the time. Also with the sensors lowered, it will be less easier to spot and has higher chance of getting tripped.
2:10 I want to point out that while the Glock 17/Glock 34 does typically hold 17 rounds, the mags he is using have the Taran tactical +5 extension so more likely he has at least 22 rounds per mag and when he does a reload, it is a tactical reload for topping off your gun. Finally, you can actually see the old mag that he retains still has bullets in
9:09 those were not fabric pieces. Those were metal balls(shots) falling off him as he stands up since was shot with a shotgun. Even more incredible of a detail
I think it was not pieces of fabric that fell from John's bullet proof suit but rather the pellets from the double barreled shotgun that the Roska Roma priest used on him just like flattened lead when other guns were used..
In 2023 there were many series, movies and animes with action scenes that I really liked but I think I still have John Wick 4 in at least the top 3 product with the best fights of the year, variety, creativity, use of scenery, choreography, photography, music , etc. In that sense this saga has never failed, my idols
John had extended basepads on the Glock mags so he probably had 22 (or maybe 23) rounds in each mag technically, BUT he still did a "tactical" reload proactively before the mag was empty. In either case, he retained the mag because it was not empty instead of dropping it to the ground like he would on an empty mag. Also after the priest at the church shoots him, the pieces falling were probably not John's suit, but were probably the lead birdshot from the shotgun round that didn't penetrate his "bulletproof" suit.
I have a few of those TTI basepads and they are compatible with both .40 and 9mm so it’s a +5/6 basepad depending on caliber. +5 for .40, +6 for 9mm. So the 17rd mag +6rds is 23 rounds. So you’re absolutely right
8:30 my fav detail from this movie, john is dealt the dead mans hand cuz he wants to "kill his way out" and also foreshadows his death, cane is dealt four 9s and a 4, 4 being a bad number in chinese/japanese like you explained, and nobody is dealt royal flush because he wants to "buy his way out", killa having five 2s shows that hes cheating and he had the weakest form of 5 of a kind
Also the Dead Man's Hand are a pair of black aces and black 8s with the 5th card always varying. The Queen of Hearts in Wick's hand as the 5th card can foreshadow a death besides his deceased wife.
Nice details you found. An opinion on why cane shoots his enemies even after they're dead is probably because there's no way for him to be sure they are. So as to prevent someone shooting him in the back, he makes sure they never get back up.
For shell casing, they actually develop a pistol so it ejects shells so that in the post production, it makes it easier to add muzzle flashes for the VFX department. Chad himself told this in a podcast with Joe Rogan
Ok fun-fact on the part 4:16 I remember where even if your dead some parts of your body cna still move. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "post-mortem movement" or "cadaveric spasm." While a person is dead, certain reflexes or muscular contractions can still occur due to various reasons, such as chemical reactions, rigor mortis (stiffening of the muscles), or involuntary nerve impulses. These movements might involve slight twitching or even significant spasms but do not indicate any sign of life. I know that it's a bit nerdy but that's my theory even though what you said where he move his leg so he wouldn't get hit is the reason
the VFX team blows! They completely forgot to animate the guns! YOu have szenes with blank guns, as in Osaka with the shell casings. There you see the slides move. Thne you have the bad CGI scenes, as in the beginning on the Horse or later in France, where the slides of the guns don't move. Also, you can see, that in the scenes with blank guns, the actors actually "aim" so stop the gun movement and pull the trigger, where in the crap CGI szenes the just point the guns. Which is incredibly obviouse in the behind the szenes videos.
Well, Canadian lad, I have a theory about John Wick not dying. so, in the 3rd part of the "JOHN WICK" series the doctor who helps John makes him shoot himself , at three specific spots which were the lower abdomen, the shoulder, and the elbow (not fatal areas) , the same exact spots where, Kane hits John with and John too shoots Kane at one specific area of his shoulder and he recovers fully..
I like how the armored grunts progressed like a video game enemy. In the previous movie they're portrayed as an elite type of enemy and you need special equipment or knowledge to kill them. But now, as John progressed or rather level up, the same enemy still exists with the same stats but easier to kill as if John leveled up way above the enemy level cap. This convinced me that John Wick is a movie written as a video game.
The only issue i had is surly it would have sense for John to at least attempt to get one of those suits The sheer panic and horror on everyones face when they realise the incredibly hard to kill mam is now armor plated
@@MrFuzzwuzzleMaybe, but I think he probably values the mobility and ability to see. He’s on the run and has limited resources. Armour like that would make sense if he was forced to post up and fight or if he was the aggressor to someone defending. His style seems to lean more to “shoot them before they shoot you” and he trusts his skills and in instincts enough. I think it’s more terrifying he doesn’t wear it.
11:56 sites are used to combat rack your gun also since he holds a cane in one hand and the gun another, he would need sites to reload the gun with one hand 11:56
9:07 Those things that fell out of John are the birdshot pellets from the priest’s shotgun. John wear a Kevlar lined suit so it catches the pellets but still forces him back and down onto the floor. 11:10 John threw away the slide and used the grip to fight. 11:44 Cane’s P365 is the Sig P365 SAS. It DOES have sights, but not the typical sights on every other handgun. It has Tritium and fiber optic sights sunk into the slide of the handgun. (I have this same handgun) Search P365SAS and you’ll see it has an atypical sights.
About the CGI shells, what's more likely is that the guns used in the fight scenes are "plug-guns" which is a kind of conversion done for use with blank ammunition to avoid injuring someone when shot at very close range. The gun's barrel is plugged and blanks with weak loads are used as ammunition, so in a way you can replicate the exact function of a gun with reciprocating slides and bolts and shell casings without risking anyone's safety. I think that the director Chad Stahelski talked about this when he went on Joe Rogan's podcast.
You did great as usual, you made one small error though, in the church when Wick gets shot, it is not pieces of fabric that we see falling off but pellets from the shotgun blast...it is meant to show us that Wick is wearing his bulletproof suit...cheers Sir and thanks for the great content and the hours of work you put in !!!
That's not pieces of fabric falling off of John. It's bird shot. He just got blasted with a double barrel shotgun. Hence, why he flew backwards. Birshot spreads out the force and would stick in the coat when he flies back. Then it falls out of the folds in his coat when it straightens out when he stands up.
I have canes cane at home and it's kinda cool, cuz I had it independently of the role before seeing the 4th movie, just admiring how precisely the aesthetics within this universe influence one.
@6:22 I think he wasn't "measuring the cane height to aim properly", i believe he was was checking his surroundings cause it was a boiler/steamer. I remember the scene right before this, while he's planting sound devices, he felt a hot surface before placing the 3rd.. so the 4th sound device, he uses his cane first to touch the surface in doing so achieve 2 things; 1) hard surface and smooth surface 2) he feels the temperature on the ball of the cane and confirms its another boiler/steamer thing.. so its just to be aware of his surroundings. his "cane" has a hidden blade, and I'm pretty sure he already well aware of the cane's length to the millimeter (proven from those precise stabbings).. yes, he can use for extra stability to aim of course.. but not much for "aiming properly" just my 2 cents~ great vid as always~
11:11 this scene was actually inspired by Taran tactical, Taran designed the pit and sandviper with the “butler cut” in the frame to be pointed. And I quote from Taran “Incase I run out of bullets I can stab someone with my gun” he said that when the first sand viper came out years before John wick 4. It’s a great attention to detail and unfortunately I’m not the biggest fan of Taran I just wanted to add that piece of info in for you guys.
@@TheCanadianLad anytime, when you said stabbed people with the barrel of the Gun he actually dissembled the slide and barrel and stabbed him with the frame of the gun. But it’s all good it’s small things, I really enjoyed your video. I actually did the first ever RUclips video on that pit viper it’s on my channel, I specialize in guns so I wanted to add my two cents. Keep making bad ass content my friend 🙏🏽
The scene at the church with the priest it’s not fabric. It’s shotgun pellets. When shotguns shoot they shoot out a bunch of little pellets, those little balls you called fabric are actually shotgun pellets!! Judging by the size of the pellets I’d say he got hit with birdshot. Just thought you should know!! Awesome video
3:57 i remember seeing an interview with the director, where he says that most of the guns are firing blanks with a plugged barrel in order to get a realistic cycling of the weapon and to eject real shell casings. Only the muzzle flashes were added with CG in these cases
12:18 In this scene when Winston and King went to his grave there was scene where his dog looks away in distance (wagging his tail) indicates the audience that John is alive (not dead but living as dead in the eyes of high table, so he can leave in peace). Because John was the only one who beat the high table with its own rules and payed the consequences of "Death" which hinted at the beginning of John Wick 4 where he killed the elder in the desert. Leaving the door open for future franchises like *Ballerina* which will happen this year.
I love your content!! In the scene where John disassembles the gun, I believe he is using the TTI Pit Viper. It has a really pointy metal frame at the muzzle end, so he’s actually stabbing the guy with the frame of the gun, not the barrel.
You nailed exactly why I love John Wick movies when you were talking about Mr Nobody's book, and Daisy. Everyone involved with this movie trusts the audience to be smart enough to be shown and not told, and it's so refreshing to not have everything over explained. And because Keanu trained so hard and does almost everything himself, proving why he deserves all the credit he gets for playing John Wick
That Combat Master comes with extended mags which increases the capacity to 22-23rds. He reloaded anyway because he was smart but his mag still had several rounds in it.
@@calebfontanez1196 i love canadian lad's videos but there are times where his gun info obviously comes from google research. which isn't a big deal at all, but it still causes some slight inaccuracies.
Great video! Theatrical armorer and professional stunt performer here: At least some of the John Wick films used "full plug blank fire modified weapons" which is a fancy way of saying they took a real gun and plugged the barrel so they could fire low power blanks without any bullet or gases coming out the barrel. This allows them to fire the guns in close proximity to stunt performers without (much) risk of injury, and these types of blank fire weapons do eject shells just like the real thing! Without being on set for the filming of each specific scene it's nearly impossible to say if they were using blank weapons or a rubber dummy gun that they touched up with CGI after the fact, but it's very possible that those shell casings were real.
Those aren't 'pieces of fabric' at @9:07 , those were birdshot shotgun pellets, or similarly sized BB's. They are a good bit of attention to detail, as they show that most rolled off, but some sort of stuck to his suit for a moment. A key detail being that John wasn't turned to swiss cheese. Instead, it just stung real good.
Amazing discovery of these details! I watched it twice/thrice, and I didn't noticed the CGI bullet or the dude moving his leg! Goes to show 0.25x can really reveal details! So thankful for your channel!
The debris that fell off John after the priest shot him were not pieces of fabric, they were pellets from the shotgun that the jacket stopped. Also when John strips the slide from his pistol he is not stabbing the bad guy with the barrel. The front of the frame has two sharpened points that are used for melee. Taran tactical calls them fangs to go along with the snake theme of the gun. The gun itself it called the pit viper.
3:20 I think there's a different explanation for the light switching from red to green, which has to do with the way these different colors interact with our eyes. Red light is best for preserving night vision. This makes sense in the continental, where its guests are safe while inside, but they might have to be vigilant once they step out of the door. Getting ready to go out in red light will give them a leg up. However, once things heat up inside the continental, red light is a poor choice because we tend to see less contrast and detail in a red lit environment. This is however where green light is best, providing our best possible detail perception even in low light conditions.
4:07 - The guy was shot in the head, and while it probably was the actor/stunt man moving his leg so it wouldn't get hit, a very easy in-universe explanation is that he wasn't completely dead yet. A headshot is almost always incapacitating but it's not always instantly fatal. That could easily be chalked up to the random nerve impulses of a dying brain.
3:53 that's not CGI, they shot blanks for the filming and had the gun's altered to be safe to use as to not harm anyone since blanks can still be fatal at close rang. The muzzle flashes and shell casings are all real. Another little detail in the movie is at the end when we think John is dead, the dog for seemingly no reason perks up and looks off to the side. If they didn't want the dog to do that then they'd reshoot or probably cut that out. I think it's probably a good way to leave us open-ended for another movie which they're making, but maybe John was seen by the dog. Not dead.
They use either some kind of electronic or co2 powered prop gun, which likely ejects shell casings and keeps the volume at a safe level. There's a clip of Ana de Armas using one for one of her scenes, and you can see the slide operating and hear a little pop each time she fires. Chad Stahleski also referenced the prop guns used in response to the Alec Baldwin shooting.
I think the top down view action scene was very cleary done as a homage to the game hot line Miami. From the view, the action, and even down to the music. Just beautiful.
11:45 I belive that gun is actually the p365 SAS model, its a fairly new type of sight that recedes into the rear of the slide slide making it seem like there is no sights
Thank you for those translations! They add to the movie, and there was no way that I could have made them in real time while watching it! I appreciated the added details from the personal diaries!
9:04 I think that when the guards pick up John that its not pieces of faabric but pelets from the shotgun. That would also make sence because we see him shaking out the 9 mm bullets from his suit.
A detail about john wick chapter 3 . The side arms guns he uses which have magazine uses 19x9mm parabellem bullets . And only side arm which whiston shots doesnt have the same bullets .
3:56 the casings actually arent CGI from what I've heard. The guns they used fired blanks and had plugged barrels, so they ejected actual bullet casings
Fantastic review!!! While it doesn’t in any way take away from your analysis, I think his p365 is the SAS version, it has sights but they’re “in” the slide. I’m sure they used that version so as to make it seem like it had no sights
The Glock 34 combat master comes with 23 RD extended base plate magazines as shown in the movie. He does a tactical reload to retain the leftover rounds. Caine’s Sig P365 with custom (unique) muzzle device is a P365 SAS (Sig Anti-Snag). It has sights integrated and recessed into the slide. Sig made this model for carry concealed or pocket carry without anything that could potentially snag upon drawing from concealment. The FX team adding the shotgun pellets shows that the shell fired was #1 buck or 3” magnum #00 buck, good catch. Go back and do a check in the alcohol bottles. Do a price check on some of those. The 2016 Yamazaki aged 20 year single malt whiskey is worth a few thousand, same with the bottle shown with Killa at the poker table.
Great Vid! Those were birdshot bbs falling from his jacket. For how the shotgun blast knocked him and how they fell everywhere it must of been cut loads flying as a chunk.
#26 Kanes p365 is an sas (sig anti-snag) which does have sights. They’re just in the back of the slide and can only be seen from the back. It’s purpose being to be used as a pocket pistol that won’t catch any fabric when drawn.
I didn't notice the missing sights ands it's such a great touch. Removing the sights makes the gun less likely to snag on clothes or skin. Helpful for a blind guy.
I m with a theory that I really wanna start from your's channel - my theory is that every time when snap happens the infinity stones gets chipped down or to say shrink down if you pay very close attention, it also gets cracked
9:05 a little something you said wrong here, what falls isnt the fabric of John's bulletproof suit but rather the pellets of the shotgun round he took before. Normally movies get to turn bland and boring the more it drags out, Fast and Furious, Resident Evil, Terminator but not John Wick, 4 movies in and it was still damn good. It's good they ended it rather than drag it out more, let it remain a really good movies.
First, fantastic analysis. Not CGI shell casing, but blanks. Also the 'bits of fabric' falling off Wick after he's shot by the priest with the double barrel shotgun behave more like bird shot. That would be far easier as a practical effect than in post with CGI.
*9:07** I think that are from the shotgun not from his vest, because his vest stopped the bullet from entering, and in the case of shotguns it always goes out like that*
3:54 i don’t think is VFX but there are copies that you can get shells that holds the bb’s and when you shoot then the shell comes out as the real gun does
At 4:46, where the person with the armor tries to pick up his armor, the piece bent like plastic. No chance for this to be visible while watching the movie on normal speed, but here I can see it clearly. It's not a big deal, just something I've noticed.

And the acceptance is not for John. It's for us to accept he's dead.
Kane lowered his motion sensors not only because of the height difference but because most enemies would be crouching. Most of all the bow users, you can see them crouching most of the time.
Also with the sensors lowered, it will be less easier to spot and has higher chance of getting tripped.
2:10 I want to point out that while the Glock 17/Glock 34 does typically hold 17 rounds, the mags he is using have the Taran tactical +5 extension so more likely he has at least 22 rounds per mag and when he does a reload, it is a tactical reload for topping off your gun.

I thought the same thing. Perhaps #4 buck
In 2023 there were many series, movies and animes with action scenes that I really liked but I think I still have John Wick 4 in at least the top 3 product with the best fights of the year, variety, creativity, use of scenery, choreography, photography, music , etc. In that sense this saga has never failed, my idols
That "Fuck off" from Cane is one of the most SATISFYING lines in movie history
I watched "I watched John Wick 4 in 0.25x Speed and Here's What I Found" in 0.25x speed.
Underrated comment
John had extended basepads on the Glock mags so he probably had 22 (or maybe 23) rounds in each mag technically, BUT he still did a "tactical" reload proactively before the mag was empty. In either case, he retained the mag because it was not empty instead of dropping it to the ground like he would on an empty mag. Also after the priest at the church shoots him, the pieces falling were probably not John's suit, but were probably the lead birdshot from the shotgun round that didn't penetrate his "bulletproof" suit.
You beat me by 2 days. LOL
Spot on, yessir. Dude was wrong about quite a few things in this video.
I have a few of those TTI basepads and they are compatible with both .40 and 9mm so it’s a +5/6 basepad depending on caliber. +5 for .40, +6 for 9mm. So the 17rd mag +6rds is 23 rounds. So you’re absolutely right
8:30 my fav detail from this movie, john is dealt the dead mans hand cuz he wants to "kill his way out" and also foreshadows his death, cane is dealt four 9s and a 4, 4 being a bad number in chinese/japanese like you explained, and nobody is dealt royal flush because he wants to "buy his way out", killa having five 2s shows that hes cheating and he had the weakest form of 5 of a kind
1) I would say the Dead Man's hand is only hinting at his death.
2) Genuinely asking, why do you compare the Royal Flush to him "buying his way out?"
Also the Dead Man's Hand are a pair of black aces and black 8s with the 5th card always varying. The Queen of Hearts in Wick's hand as the 5th card can foreshadow a death besides his deceased wife.
Nice details you found. An opinion on why cane shoots his enemies even after they're dead is probably because there's no way for him to be sure they are. So as to prevent someone shooting him in the back, he makes sure they never get back up.
For shell casing, they actually develop a pistol so it ejects shells so that in the post production, it makes it easier to add muzzle flashes for the VFX department.
Chad himself told this in a podcast with Joe Rogan
0:01 the opening caught me off guard and is fucking hilarious man😂
Just Keanu being Keanu...perfectionistic, compassionate and dedicated. Way to go.
Ok fun-fact on the part 4:16 I remember where even if your dead some parts of your body cna still move. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "post-mortem movement" or "cadaveric spasm." While a person is dead, certain reflexes or muscular contractions can still occur due to various reasons, such as chemical reactions, rigor mortis (stiffening of the muscles), or involuntary nerve impulses. These movements might involve slight twitching or even significant spasms but do not indicate any sign of life.
I know that it's a bit nerdy but that's my theory even though what you said where he move his leg so he wouldn't get hit is the reason
This movie litreally deserves an Oscars for the vfx related category…
And yes Lad hats off to you ❤
It's 2024 and is still nominated for nothing. I hate cancel culture but something needs to be cancel it's Oscars, Golden Globes, etc.
the VFX team blows!
They completely forgot to animate the guns!
YOu have szenes with blank guns, as in Osaka with the shell casings.
There you see the slides move.
Thne you have the bad CGI scenes, as in the beginning on the Horse or later in France, where the slides of the guns don't move.
Also, you can see, that in the scenes with blank guns, the actors actually "aim" so stop the gun movement and pull the trigger, where in the crap CGI szenes the just point the guns.
Which is incredibly obviouse in the behind the szenes videos.
Well, Canadian lad, I have a theory about John Wick not dying.
so, in the 3rd part of the "JOHN WICK" series the doctor who helps John makes him shoot himself , at three specific spots
which were the lower abdomen, the shoulder, and the elbow (not fatal areas) , the same exact spots where, Kane hits John with and John too shoots Kane at one specific area of his shoulder and he recovers fully..
I like how the armored grunts progressed like a video game enemy. In the previous movie they're portrayed as an elite type of enemy and you need special equipment or knowledge to kill them. But now, as John progressed or rather level up, the same enemy still exists with the same stats but easier to kill as if John leveled up way above the enemy level cap. This convinced me that John Wick is a movie written as a video game.
The only issue i had is surly it would have sense for John to at least attempt to get one of those suits
The sheer panic and horror on everyones face when they realise the incredibly hard to kill mam is now armor plated
@@MrFuzzwuzzleMaybe, but I think he probably values the mobility and ability to see. He’s on the run and has limited resources. Armour like that would make sense if he was forced to post up and fight or if he was the aggressor to someone defending. His style seems to lean more to “shoot them before they shoot you” and he trusts his skills and in instincts enough.
I think it’s more terrifying he doesn’t wear it.
at 9:05 thats not part of his suit its birdshot pellets from the shotgun, probably falling off of his suit
11:56 sites are used to combat rack your gun also since he holds a cane in one hand and the gun another, he would need sites to reload the gun with one hand 11:56
You can do it with just pressure on your thigh. Don’t need sights.
9:07 Those things that fell out of John are the birdshot pellets from the priest’s shotgun. John wear a Kevlar lined suit so it catches the pellets but still forces him back and down onto the floor.
11:10 John threw away the slide and used the grip to fight.
11:44 Cane’s P365 is the Sig P365 SAS. It DOES have sights, but not the typical sights on every other handgun. It has Tritium and fiber optic sights sunk into the slide of the handgun. (I have this same handgun) Search P365SAS and you’ll see it has an atypical sights.
About the CGI shells, what's more likely is that the guns used in the fight scenes are "plug-guns" which is a kind of conversion done for use with blank ammunition to avoid injuring someone when shot at very close range. The gun's barrel is plugged and blanks with weak loads are used as ammunition, so in a way you can replicate the exact function of a gun with reciprocating slides and bolts and shell casings without risking anyone's safety. I think that the director Chad Stahelski talked about this when he went on Joe Rogan's podcast.
Man!!! Could've posted it directly. Now I'll have to wait till morning. 😢
Its worth the wait
You did great as usual, you made one small error though, in the church when Wick gets shot, it is not pieces of fabric that we see falling off but pellets from the shotgun blast...it is meant to show us that Wick is wearing his bulletproof suit...cheers Sir and thanks for the great content and the hours of work you put in !!!
12:00 "I.P. Man" 😭😭😭
For real.
That's not pieces of fabric falling off of John. It's bird shot. He just got blasted with a double barrel shotgun. Hence, why he flew backwards. Birshot spreads out the force and would stick in the coat when he flies back. Then it falls out of the folds in his coat when it straightens out when he stands up.
I have canes cane at home and it's kinda cool, cuz I had it independently of the role before seeing the 4th movie, just admiring how precisely the aesthetics within this universe influence one.
Man the intro really got me 😂😂
Good work lad.
At 9:05 thats the buckshot from the shotgun, not pieces of the bullet proof fabric. Good video, keep up the great work
@6:22 I think he wasn't "measuring the cane height to aim properly", i believe he was was checking his surroundings cause it was a boiler/steamer. I remember the scene right before this, while he's planting sound devices, he felt a hot surface before placing the 3rd.. so the 4th sound device, he uses his cane first to touch the surface in doing so achieve 2 things; 1) hard surface and smooth surface 2) he feels the temperature on the ball of the cane and confirms its another boiler/steamer thing.. so its just to be aware of his surroundings.
his "cane" has a hidden blade, and I'm pretty sure he already well aware of the cane's length to the millimeter (proven from those precise stabbings).. yes, he can use for extra stability to aim of course.. but not much for "aiming properly"
just my 2 cents~ great vid as always~
11:11 this scene was actually inspired by Taran tactical, Taran designed the pit and sandviper with the “butler cut” in the frame to be pointed. And I quote from Taran “Incase I run out of bullets I can stab someone with my gun” he said that when the first sand viper came out years before John wick 4. It’s a great attention to detail and unfortunately I’m not the biggest fan of Taran I just wanted to add that piece of info in for you guys.
Thank you so much man, didn’t know that! Appreciate it. :)
@@TheCanadianLad anytime, when you said stabbed people with the barrel of the Gun he actually dissembled the slide and barrel and stabbed him with the frame of the gun. But it’s all good it’s small things, I really enjoyed your video. I actually did the first ever RUclips video on that pit viper it’s on my channel, I specialize in guns so I wanted to add my two cents. Keep making bad ass content my friend 🙏🏽
The scene at the church with the priest it’s not fabric. It’s shotgun pellets. When shotguns shoot they shoot out a bunch of little pellets, those little balls you called fabric are actually shotgun pellets!! Judging by the size of the pellets I’d say he got hit with birdshot. Just thought you should know!! Awesome video
3:57 i remember seeing an interview with the director, where he says that most of the guns are firing blanks with a plugged barrel in order to get a realistic cycling of the weapon and to eject real shell casings. Only the muzzle flashes were added with CG in these cases
9:03 it's not fabric, it's the shotgun pellets
12:18 In this scene when Winston and King went to his grave there was scene where his dog looks away in distance (wagging his tail) indicates the audience that John is alive (not dead but living as dead in the eyes of high table, so he can leave in peace). Because John was the only one who beat the high table with its own rules and payed the consequences of "Death" which hinted at the beginning of John Wick 4 where he killed the elder in the desert.
Leaving the door open for future franchises like *Ballerina* which will happen this year.
Your work is second to none. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
I love your content!! In the scene where John disassembles the gun, I believe he is using the TTI Pit Viper. It has a really pointy metal frame at the muzzle end, so he’s actually stabbing the guy with the frame of the gun, not the barrel.
6:45 Nah Man, not talking about that Smooth ass wind up punch is a Crime
blind man still has flair...
You nailed exactly why I love John Wick movies when you were talking about Mr Nobody's book, and Daisy. Everyone involved with this movie trusts the audience to be smart enough to be shown and not told, and it's so refreshing to not have everything over explained.
And because Keanu trained so hard and does almost everything himself, proving why he deserves all the credit he gets for playing John Wick
i think john didnt die at the end they only created a grave so that his enemies stop looking for him
the overhead scene is literally the best scene in any John Wick movie. dude was moving so professionally and accurately, beautiful work
Love your videos been watching since 2020 keep up the good work 👍
2:48 this isnt just for japanese. in chinese, the number 4 is also thought of as a bad number.
0:01 😂 that was a masterpiece
Very cool! Love the catches man. I believe the shot in the church with that debris falling was actually pellets from the shotgun shell he was hit with
That Combat Master comes with extended mags which increases the capacity to 22-23rds. He reloaded anyway because he was smart but his mag still had several rounds in it.
Exactly. And in the detail #25 he didn’t use the barrel to kill , he used the frame(lower part)
@@calebfontanez1196 i love canadian lad's videos but there are times where his gun info obviously comes from google research. which isn't a big deal at all, but it still causes some slight inaccuracies.
Great video!
Theatrical armorer and professional stunt performer here: At least some of the John Wick films used "full plug blank fire modified weapons" which is a fancy way of saying they took a real gun and plugged the barrel so they could fire low power blanks without any bullet or gases coming out the barrel. This allows them to fire the guns in close proximity to stunt performers without (much) risk of injury, and these types of blank fire weapons do eject shells just like the real thing! Without being on set for the filming of each specific scene it's nearly impossible to say if they were using blank weapons or a rubber dummy gun that they touched up with CGI after the fact, but it's very possible that those shell casings were real.
Love your work sir, and now you are making a video on our best action movie series for me and lots of people, ❤Lots of love from India❤😊
Those aren't 'pieces of fabric' at @9:07 , those were birdshot shotgun pellets, or similarly sized BB's. They are a good bit of attention to detail, as they show that most rolled off, but some sort of stuck to his suit for a moment. A key detail being that John wasn't turned to swiss cheese. Instead, it just stung real good.
Family guy funny moments
American dad funny moments
The Cleveland Show funny moments
The Orville funny moments
Ted funny moments
Amazing discovery of these details! I watched it twice/thrice, and I didn't noticed the CGI bullet or the dude moving his leg! Goes to show 0.25x can really reveal details! So thankful for your channel!
First maybe
Hello there! Are you a variant of mine?
8:09
The hell heaven line can also be a easter egg to Keeanu playing Constantine once
I'm your third like pls pin me 😊
The debris that fell off John after the priest shot him were not pieces of fabric, they were pellets from the shotgun that the jacket stopped. Also when John strips the slide from his pistol he is not stabbing the bad guy with the barrel. The front of the frame has two sharpened points that are used for melee. Taran tactical calls them fangs to go along with the snake theme of the gun. The gun itself it called the pit viper.
John Wick franchise fake asf, how tf this mofo kill 50 people in one day
Ofc it's fake it's called a movie
They killed his dog.
@@jouboujeinh3468 more realer movies exist chief
@@Iam_inevitabIe I'm aware
3:20 I think there's a different explanation for the light switching from red to green, which has to do with the way these different colors interact with our eyes. Red light is best for preserving night vision. This makes sense in the continental, where its guests are safe while inside, but they might have to be vigilant once they step out of the door. Getting ready to go out in red light will give them a leg up. However, once things heat up inside the continental, red light is a poor choice because we tend to see less contrast and detail in a red lit environment. This is however where green light is best, providing our best possible detail perception even in low light conditions.
4:07 - The guy was shot in the head, and while it probably was the actor/stunt man moving his leg so it wouldn't get hit, a very easy in-universe explanation is that he wasn't completely dead yet. A headshot is almost always incapacitating but it's not always instantly fatal. That could easily be chalked up to the random nerve impulses of a dying brain.
3:53 that's not CGI, they shot blanks for the filming and had the gun's altered to be safe to use as to not harm anyone since blanks can still be fatal at close rang. The muzzle flashes and shell casings are all real.
Another little detail in the movie is at the end when we think John is dead, the dog for seemingly no reason perks up and looks off to the side. If they didn't want the dog to do that then they'd reshoot or probably cut that out. I think it's probably a good way to leave us open-ended for another movie which they're making, but maybe John was seen by the dog. Not dead.
They use either some kind of electronic or co2 powered prop gun, which likely ejects shell casings and keeps the volume at a safe level. There's a clip of Ana de Armas using one for one of her scenes, and you can see the slide operating and hear a little pop each time she fires. Chad Stahleski also referenced the prop guns used in response to the Alec Baldwin shooting.
I think the top down view action scene was very cleary done as a homage to the game hot line Miami.
From the view, the action, and even down to the music. Just beautiful.
4:20 it is a mistake but it isnt when a person dies after death some nerves can move so it is mistake but not at the same time
11:45 I belive that gun is actually the p365 SAS model, its a fairly new type of sight that recedes into the rear of the slide slide making it seem like there is no sights
My favorite detail you mentioned is that Caine's pistol has no sights...... that's just perfect. Thank you for all your efforts!
Because of all this work they put in JW franchise, the details, stunts, accuracies and keanu's training etc.
It is, my favorite series of all time.
Thank you for those translations! They add to the movie, and there was no way that I could have made them in real time while watching it! I appreciated the added details from the personal diaries!
9:04 I think that when the guards pick up John that its not pieces of faabric but pelets from the shotgun.
That would also make sence because we see him shaking out the 9 mm bullets from his suit.
A detail about john wick chapter 3 . The side arms guns he uses which have magazine uses 19x9mm parabellem bullets . And only side arm which whiston shots doesnt have the same bullets .
9:05 That's not pieces of Wick's suit, those are "bird-shot" pellets from the shot gun shell falling off his suit since it's bullet proof.
3:56 the casings actually arent CGI from what I've heard. The guns they used fired blanks and had plugged barrels, so they ejected actual bullet casings
4:15 things twitch and move around after dying 🤷🏻♂️
This is freaking detailed. You have earned your likes. You did a lot of homework. I am impressed. These details blew me away.
Fantastic review!!! While it doesn’t in any way take away from your analysis, I think his p365 is the SAS version, it has sights but they’re “in” the slide. I’m sure they used that version so as to make it seem like it had no sights
Agreed. It’s designed to be smoother and less likely to snag on clothing.
The Glock 34 combat master comes with 23 RD extended base plate magazines as shown in the movie. He does a tactical reload to retain the leftover rounds. Caine’s Sig P365 with custom (unique) muzzle device is a P365 SAS (Sig Anti-Snag). It has sights integrated and recessed into the slide. Sig made this model for carry concealed or pocket carry without anything that could potentially snag upon drawing from concealment. The FX team adding the shotgun pellets shows that the shell fired was #1 buck or 3” magnum #00 buck, good catch.
Go back and do a check in the alcohol bottles. Do a price check on some of those. The 2016 Yamazaki aged 20 year single malt whiskey is worth a few thousand, same with the bottle shown with Killa at the poker table.
He moved his legs so that he doesn’t die again
4:13 TBF getting shot in head doesn’t necessarily mean dead instantly. Also body spasms after death could happen to explain that leg movement.
Great Vid! Those were birdshot bbs falling from his jacket. For how the shotgun blast knocked him and how they fell everywhere it must of been cut loads flying as a chunk.
#26 Kanes p365 is an sas (sig anti-snag) which does have sights. They’re just in the back of the slide and can only be seen from the back. It’s purpose being to be used as a pocket pistol that won’t catch any fabric when drawn.
I didn't notice the missing sights ands it's such a great touch. Removing the sights makes the gun less likely to snag on clothes or skin. Helpful for a blind guy.
I m with a theory that I really wanna start from your's channel - my theory is that every time when snap happens the infinity stones gets chipped down or to say shrink down if you pay very close attention, it also gets cracked
9:36 He is a lone wolf waiting for death to get him😢
4:15 you could play it off as his body twitching after being shot because that does sometimes happen when people die.
Splendid work man, fantastic recap to watch after 11 months of watching john wick 4 on release
9:07 - its not a fabric. they are pellets from shotgun shell. they stopped because of the suit
9:05 a little something you said wrong here, what falls isnt the fabric of John's bulletproof suit but rather the pellets of the shotgun round he took before.
Normally movies get to turn bland and boring the more it drags out, Fast and Furious, Resident Evil, Terminator but not John Wick, 4 movies in and it was still damn good. It's good they ended it rather than drag it out more, let it remain a really good movies.
Almost none of these things required watching the movie on 0.25x speed. Maybe playing less subway surfers on the side would help
I swear man what short form content has done to our brains lmao
First, fantastic analysis. Not CGI shell casing, but blanks. Also the 'bits of fabric' falling off Wick after he's shot by the priest with the double barrel shotgun behave more like bird shot. That would be far easier as a practical effect than in post with CGI.
*9:07** I think that are from the shotgun not from his vest, because his vest stopped the bullet from entering, and in the case of shotguns it always goes out like that*
glad to see and hope you keep doing this kind of breakdown for every movie outside MCU.
3:54 i don’t think is VFX but there are copies that you can get shells that holds the bb’s and when you shoot then the shell comes out as the real gun does
At 4:46, where the person with the armor tries to pick up his armor, the piece bent like plastic. No chance for this to be visible while watching the movie on normal speed, but here I can see it clearly. It's not a big deal, just something I've noticed.
