Jimmy and Francis are two of the smartest characters in this movie. John Wick is working again? Be polite, stay out of his way, and gracefully accept his offer to walk away.
Just so you know...I'm sure others have and will mention it also...Keanu is actually that good a shot, and handles the weapons that well. He'll personally never admit to it, but everyone involved in his training, and professionals who've seen him train in videos, all acknowledge that he's easily shooting at a top-tier competitive level. The same is true of his hand-to-hand capabilities. When he trains for these sorts of roles, he's like a machine. Training and practicing on a grueling schedule by choice, and soaking up knowledge like a sponge when doing it. But, most importantly, he's not arrogant enough himself to assume he'd be able to use his skills in a related situation. He trained for a movie, he KNOWS he trained for a movie, and unless he had absolutely no other choice, he'd run from such a situation just like everyone else...because THAT is the smart thing to do. But make no mistake, were he trapped in such a scenario with no escape, he'd be an absolutely and sincerely deadly threat. Thankfully, he's extremely humble, and peaceful.
Smart men will tell you , let her pick it out , buy the wrong one could bite you in the ass , I'm married to a crazy redhead for 35yrs and learn the hardway , lmao ,
Keanu actually came up with the method he uses to switch an empty pistol magazine for loaded one. It was never done that way before. By anyone!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian- No he didn’t. I’ve been shooting competitions since 2010, and it’s a common method of forcefully ejecting a magazine from a gun.
I'm not sure I agree. I think he realized the gravity of the situation, but I think he felt there would be a way to work it out, at least in the beginning.
@@toddlower5546 U think he realized the gravity of the situation statement says it all.. :P "oh" He knew he was fked, but he still tried to fight for it, for his stupid son of his even.. He did try call Wick, to mellow things out, but u know how it went from there.. :p
So, a few things: The scene with the cop - The cops know who Wick is. They know what he did (or used to do), hence "Uhh...you workin' again?" They know that he's retired, so if there's dead bodies in his house wearing ski masks, they had it coming. And, most importantly, they know there isn't a damn thing they could do about it anyway, so unless he starts going after innocents, why put themselves in his crosshairs? The gold coins - You nailed it. Every coin represents a favor in the underworld, no matter how big or small. It's not about how much the gold is worth. The scene in the Red Circle - Notice how Wick, who is as you put it "SUCH a good shot", stared daggers at him while he casually executed one of his bodyguards, and then fired multiple shots at Iosef and missed? Yeah, that was DELIBERATE. He doesn't just want Iosef dead, he wants him terrified, he wants him running for his life, he wants to completely kill all of the hope he has inside him (just like Iosef did to John), and then once he's taken everything from him, he has no further use for him, not even to let him finish his last words. If he just wanted him dead, he had ample opportunities. It's personal. The fight with Vggo - The knife wound is 100% fatal. The subclavian artery runs through there. Severing that would cause someone to bleed out within seconds to minutes, depending on how badly it got hit. And unless you have immediate medical attention on site when it happens, there's not much you can do to prevent it. The dog at the end of the movie - Not only is that Keanu Reeves' actual dog, if you look very closely for the instant that it's visible, the paperwork indicates that the dog is scheduled for euthanasia. So in a movie all about John tearing a swath through everyone who wronged him, the movie ends with him SAVING a life.
His wound was where he got stabbed by the bottle just beneath the vest. When he fights Viggo, he pulls the knife into the same wound to minimize the damage to get control of the knife. Then he stabbed him in the base of the neck where there are multiple veins and arteries.
@@stevedavis5704 Yes it can, and it would not have to be a lot. All that needs to happen is for the sack of tissue that surrounds the lung to be pierced and to allow air in, then the lung can collapse.
also to be able to hyper extend Vigo's arm and break it. 1 stab vs an arm for the rest of the fight is a fair deal since as you say it was the same area the bottle got him. it still was a gamble tho XD
@@hylius5780 - The math gets much simpler when you include the knife. Before that move, John has a stab wound and no knife, while Viggo has a knife and no injuries. After that move, Viggo has no knife and a broken arm, while John ends up with the same stab wound and a knife.
The whole dynamic between John, Vigo and his son was well played. Vigo, as the local boss was put in a very bad position when his son antagonized John. If Vigo had offered John restitution of any sort at the beginning, he would look weak and scared of John (which he was). As a matter of face, he had to protect his son and send a team after John. When John burned his stash he was sending the message that this was personal. If he had taken any of the money or gold, it would have muddled the message and made it seem that he could be bought off his vengeance. And when Vigo captured John, he couldn't just shoot him in the parking lot, because again, that would have made it look like he was scared of him. And that would weaken his image in front of his men, and those he is extorting. So he had to capture him, torture him and kill him in the manner of a prisoner. At the end, when John had the shotgun pointed at his face, he gave up his son, because it was Vigo or him. At this point, he had made a reasonable effort to protect his son and business and few would fault him for turning him over at that point. His protection of his son was far more about protecting his image and reputation than protecting his son. And his killing Marcus was another matter of face and pride. If he let Marcus get away with betraying him, he looks weak...not to mention Vigo is a vindictive bastard.
Knockoff Ron Pearlmen is actually Kevin Nash, former wrestler. When he said to John he lost 20 kilograms he actually told him there is 20 people guarding Josef and thats why John let him go, cuz he gave him good info. *Edit: just realized u didnt had translation so u didnt know what they said. John asked him if he lost weight and he said yes 20 kilograms-code for 20 people inside guarding josef
In actually 20 kgs converts to about 66 lbs, 66 men in the Red Circle .The gold coins are basically 1oz , basically American Golden Eagles or South African Krugerrands. So what ever the exchange rate is anywhere between $2000.00 to $2400.00
@@raymonddevera2796 no.. 20 people.. he killed 77 people in whole first movie. Kevin Nash himself told the story that "yea i said i lost 20kg so he knows there is 20 people inside"
@@JessAndTessIdk why yours didn't have subtitles but next time you should try to find the other John Wick movies with subtitles if possible. I loved y'all's reaction to this movie by the way. I hope y'all will enjoy the next movies.
Something that I did not realize until it was explained later is that when John asks Francis how much weight he had lost, it was a form of code where Francis was telling him in the number of kilos lost how may men he was facing inside Red Circle. Francis repaid John's kindness with valuable intel.
Fun fact: The "bald headed dudes" protecting Josef are the same stunt actors throughout the movie, they just removed hair for every scene to reuse them.
One of the things I missed was jimmy immediately let John know he wasn’t going to do anything by taking his hat off. It’s a sign as if he’s not a cop in that moment.
John guided the knife at the end into his already stitched wound. So technically (by movie logic), John doesn't get a new injury, he just reopened his old wound.
Glad to hear the sequels continue to be strong! Hard to imagine being even more badass lol. Be sure to subscribe to get notified when we react to the rest of the series soon!
46:58 John didn’t miss, the windshield is made of bullet resistant glass. 49:45 The dog was scheduled to be put down (sign on the cage), so John rescued the dog.
it may not be bullet resistant. windshields are hard enough to deflect bullets. especially with a slower moving bullet like a 9mm. so he could have had good aim but when the bullets hit the windshield it may have deflected the bullet just enough to miss him
Fun fact: Marcus (William Dafoe) asked Vigo if the contract is exclusive to know what he should do. When he found out it wasn't he decided to take it but to protect John
Idk if you noticed, but the doorman of the Red Circle, where Yusef hid, the actor was Kevin Nash... A former WWE Superstar....he also played "The Russian" in a Marvel movie named The Punisher (2004)
I'm sure you know this, but he gets stabbed in that movie and someone messed up a prop, so he got stabbed for real and just rolled with it... seems like a good fella...
You are 100 % correct. I work at a perpetual care cemetery and it is so peaceful and serene. It's not the dead that we should fear. IT is the living that will deceive you!!!
From my understanding Keanu trained stupidly hard in martial arts & firearms so he could do as many scenes as possible & still does competitive shooting!
As a former alcoholic I could drink Vodka straight like I was drinking a Sprite. Keanu does do a lot of his own stunts and trained in ju-jitsu and took shooting lessons during this.
Not sure what version you guys watched but the version in movie theaters and the versions I've watched on the streaming services have the captions for the Russian lines. And not like closed captioning....they were graphics worked into the movie. And that shotgun is the Keltec KSG. In addition to being a bullpup design (allowing it to be fairly short with a full length barrel), it also has two magazine tubes allowing it to hold twice the number of shotgun shells as "regular" shotguns.
Came here to mention the captions. If they have a moment, they should try to find a proper version of it. The graphics in these movies for the subtitles were pretty important context.
If you notice @ 12:37 when Vigo Toasts his son with a glass of vodka he did not drink his but instead set it down and poured himself a different vodka into a different glass. Russian tradition I'm told is that if you disagree or have a problem with that person, You still raise the glass but you don't drink it . A small detail but raises the Authenticity .
That bit @ 45:44-45:49 ish It’s just absolutely freaking brilliant and whoever thought of that little bit right there is a goddamn genius! Idk why but it never ceases to put a smile on my face every damn time I see it ffs!? 😅 just beautiful 😉👌
The pitty at the end was scheduled to be euthanized because it's a dangerous breed. Jon said nope to that and gave it a second chance at life like he got.
Me at 42 breaking bones every time I breathe it feels like. Then there's Keanu doing majority of his own stunts at 59 lol. He must've hurt bad after these movies.
Fun Fact: The lead security guy that John kept fighting was the lead Agent fighting Morpheus and even Neo in MATRIX RELOADED. Another Agent who fought and shot Trinity in MATRIX RELOADED is in this film, too. And the doctor was the Keymaker in MATRIX RELOADED.
There are are a couple of major blood vessels in the shoulder, and being stabbed in that location has a decent probability of nicking at least one of them. Even if the knife stays in, you'll bleed out fast. Since Vigo's blood was probably already pretty thin from the copious amount of alcohol, and the fact that his heart was probably pumping like mad from the fight...in the rain...he'd have lost consciousness pretty quickly, and died shortly thereafter.
The scene when Marcus say "No my good sir! I'll go on my own" was just cold 🥶 I don't know whether you guys would give your reactions on other John Wick's parts but if you do I'm sure you would still say John Wick's first part was the best 🙌 Because in other parts it's just FIGHTING.... FIGHTING......& FIGHTING especially the very last part so far I watched all parts but still first one is my personal favorite 🔥 Loved your reaction 👏
Just to appreciate the films more you have to watch Keanu's Taran Tactical videos of him training with his livefire exercises....its some of the most impressive shooting. Its exactly what you see in the films, but without all the 'hollywood extra-ness'. Keanu is so dedicated to his profession.
No, it didn’t have only one shot, otherwise the bolt would have locked, which it didn’t. Mayhem dude was just thrilled he got a shot off, that’s why he started laughing.
@jessandness The doorman Francis is played by WWE Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash. When Francis was telling him about his weight, it was code for letting John know how many guards were inside of the club.
Funny story. There was one time that my old man hit me. Granted I was an adult and I did deserve it. But he was a judo master and I hesitate to say that we were in a "fight" because he just beat the shit out of me. At the time I was in my early 20s and he was mid 50s.
"That building" is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court. It is very similar in appearance to the Flatiron Building. So sometimes when you see "that building" it is the Beaver Building and sometimes it it the Flatiron. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the Flatiron has a much narrower front curve and has only one window on each floor on the curve whereas the Beaver Building has two side by side.
26:52 "This is a cool song, too." It's titled "Think" by Kaleida and is available for purchase individually from the John Wick original soundtrack. And yes, I bought the song. Also, if Tess is this squeamish, I wonder how she'll handle the fatalities in the sequels as they're far more brutal and graphic, especially one in JW3.
Normally there are subtitles on screen for Russian, I think on streaming it's removed. (Not Ron Pearlman doorman). Shoulder wound into the artery, you bleed out in seconds.
Keanu did weapon handling and hand to hand combat for over 4000 hours for this film.. that is dedication and one of the reasons why the john wick films are soo great. lol "so many bald dudes" when i worked nightclub security i used to shave my head.. no hair to pull.
When I was only 19 years old... My family had make the decision to pull my brother off of life support.. and he was only 23 years old... Yeah.. Very hard choice to make!
The Doorman Francis was played by Kevin Nash (the former WWE wrestler). Interesting fact he also played Super Shedder in the 90s movie TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze.
The creator and writer of this film went on to create a second version of the same basic idea and general plot, Nobody, which came out in 2021. It's a different take on the same ideas and ended up being even better. They're filming Nobody 2 later this year.
Michael Nyqvist (Vigo) was only four years older than Keanu. Some people just age well. Nyqvist (RIP) was great in the Swedish versions of the "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" films.
The guns and gun training came from Taren Tachtical in California. Keanu trained in the 3 gun competition style. And did VERY well. Same with the driving. He trained with the driving stunt guys.
*OK, now you guys need do a reaction to the ScreenRants "John Wick Pitch Meeting" (comedy). They mention the puppy, of course, and the mis-use of "Baba Yaga". It's only 6 minutes long, but it's so funny. At least watch it, but a reaction to it would be great.*
I don't know if either of you have ever watched it but if not check out the film Platoon (Charlie Sheen & Willem Dafoe). That's the first film I ever saw him in. His performance in that is something else.
The guns in this movie are readily available at ANY gun shop, 1911 Colt .45 auto, Browning Hi-power 9mm, Rugar LCP, Sig 320. They are nothing special, just normal guns produced every day. It depends on who's hands they are in. Keanu Reeves is highly trained with weapons in real life and can do all the things seen in this movie, because he did.
Before anyone else gives you false information, the building used for The Continental is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court in NY. It IS NOT the Flatiron Building, as others seem to believe. (Guess they never heard of Google.)
Correct! Pretty easy to mistake at a glance, but very different in details. Two big giveaways are right at the front, with the more widely rounded corner (fitting two rows of windows), and steps leading to that entrance of the Beaver Building. However, the Flatiron Building lacks those steps, and that corner has one row of windows.
hi gun nerd here, that gun you asked about is a Keltec KSG. a pump action 12 gage shotgun. most tube fed shotguns just have one magazine tube, the unique thing about the KSG is that it has 2 magazine tubes increasing the capacity to 14. it also uses a bullpup design witch basically means that the bullet goes off behind the trigger. this makes for a gun that is more compact that is easier to maneuver but with a full length barrel that keeps the velocity of the bullet higher making a rifle more accurate at further distances and shotguns will take more distance for the pellets to spread.
I'd like to make 2 points, first John stabbed Vigo in the neck not the should, second there are actually a lot of arteries in your shoulder and if you nick one of them you're gonna bleed to death in about 2-3 minutes and John being a master assassin knows this. Anyway loved y'alls reaction to this amazing movie!
6:16 that’s a $5000 turd. They couldn’t get the puppy to do it so they CGI’d it. 23:26 they have a tv series on Peacock called “The Continental” which is set on the 70s before John Wick. It’s three episodes. 25:34 that’s Kevin Nash former wrestler (think he’s retired). He told John how many were in the club by code. 26:50 saw a Doctor react to this movie and he said that the knife up into the mouth would’ve been painful because of all the nerves in the mouth. 27:46 Keanu had a fever during this scene and still did an amazing job. He did all the moves except for the fall off the balcony. They had a stuntman do that cause it was dangerous for the stuntman to do. That’s how Keanu and Chad decided what Keanu could and couldn’t do by if a trained stunt person could get seriously hurt then he didn’t do it and he never called what he did stunts. He called them action scenes cause he wasn’t a stuntman and he respected his stunt team. He’s bought them watches and motorcycles as wrap gifts. 29:52 I believe he got a broken champagne bottle shoved in his side. 46:42 he realized that Viggo didn’t give him a fully loaded gun. Viggo used that gun to shoot Marcus and didn’t reload it. 48:44 yeah he directed the knife to where he was stabbed at the club. 49:58 that dog was scheduled to be put down. So he’s giving the dog a second chance at life that he’s hoping to get. 50:38 this actually happened to a Navy Seal in Texas and he chased the killers through four counties and let the cops have them. His comment was he’s not going to ruin his life for them and they’re going to have to deal with the consequences in jail.
@JessAndTess It looks awesome, however, in real life, some times has some quality control issues. Or parts or accessories have been known to break. Some swear by it while others swear AT it...lol. John Wick movies all have some really cool guns.
Thanos: Where is the soul stone?!? Strange: (holds up a dog) It's inside this dog. Thanos: (kills dog) Ha! That was your plan? Strange: Wait for it..... John Wick: Hey, have you guys seen my new dog?
The thing that bothers me about this movie is that josef should've heard about john long ago. Even if he was very young. John should've heard of viggos son if not met him.

Just so you know...I'm sure others have and will mention it also...Keanu is actually that good a shot, and handles the weapons that well.

Clearly, John has read _How To Win Friends, and Assassinate People._ Valuable lessons there.
To answer your question at 39:00, that is a KSG shotgun. 14 shell capacity model, pretty affordable and reliable
It looked awesome!
@@JessAndTess it did indeed! I got the same model not too long ago, and barring the scope on top I made it look the same. It was a joy to shoot
Very stable as both grips are on either end.
fun fact - jim carey was interested in the role of john wick, what a movie that would have been
*Shoots like 10 dudes*
"SOMEBODY STOPPP ME"
He doesn't have the gumption nor the skillset. Would end up being a comedy which is...ridiculous
Hey, Bob Odenkirk was able to pull it off quite well, so that’s an idea I can entertain.
Not sure what version you guys watched but the version in movie theaters and the versions I've watched on the streaming services have the captions for the Russian lines. And not like closed captioning....they were graphics worked into the movie.
And that shotgun is the Keltec KSG. In addition to being a bullpup design (allowing it to be fairly short with a full length barrel), it also has two magazine tubes allowing it to hold twice the number of shotgun shells as "regular" shotguns.
it’s the Peacock version
Came here to mention the captions. If they have a moment, they should try to find a proper version of it. The graphics in these movies for the subtitles were pretty important context.
If you notice @ 12:37 when Vigo Toasts his son with a glass of vodka he did not drink his but instead set it down and poured himself a different vodka into a different glass. Russian tradition I'm told is that if you disagree or have a problem with that person, You still raise the glass but you don't drink it . A small detail but raises the Authenticity .
So many small details in this movie!
When you see John Wick 4, there is a post credit scene.
That bit @ 45:44-45:49 ish
It’s just absolutely freaking brilliant and whoever thought of that little bit right there is a goddamn genius! Idk why but it never ceases to put a smile on my face every damn time I see it ffs!? 😅 just beautiful 😉👌
So good
The pitty at the end was scheduled to be euthanized because it's a dangerous breed. Jon said nope to that and gave it a second chance at life like he got.
Makes sense. John seems like he is always ready to help.
....that's not gonna kill him."
It's called the "subclavian artery" and it would ABSOLUTELY kill you.
The amount of pink mist in this movie is just crazy! I never get used to it.
I don't know if you noticed but the chart on the dog crate said "To Be Destroyed" so he saved the dogs life.
Me at 42 breaking bones every time I breathe it feels like. Then there's Keanu doing majority of his own stunts at 59 lol. He must've hurt bad after these movies.
Fun fact: the lighting at the Red Circle was green when John was safe, red when he was in danger, alternating when it was ambiguous.
such a cool detail
"Everyone on the bus looks like that." 🤣
😂
Fun Fact: The lead security guy that John kept fighting was the lead Agent fighting Morpheus and even Neo in MATRIX RELOADED. Another Agent who fought and shot Trinity in MATRIX RELOADED is in this film, too. And the doctor was the Keymaker in MATRIX RELOADED.
Probably smart to work with people you've already know you got chemistry with, especially when doing a fight scene
@@JessAndTess Agreed. I produce indie horror films and tend to work with the same actors.
The prequel is called The Continental on peacock
There are are a couple of major blood vessels in the shoulder, and being stabbed in that location has a decent probability of nicking at least one of them. Even if the knife stays in, you'll bleed out fast. Since Vigo's blood was probably already pretty thin from the copious amount of alcohol, and the fact that his heart was probably pumping like mad from the fight...in the rain...he'd have lost consciousness pretty quickly, and died shortly thereafter.
Yeah, doesn't look like a fun time
That shotgun he used is a Kel-tech KSG bullpup shotgun...absolutely awesome weapon esp for home defense.
Yeah, looks awesome!
I pissed off alot of people in Call of Duty with this shotgun lol. Those were the days 😂
@@E85BAITOh yeah...back in OG MW3 in 2011 and a very good alternative to the Spas.
In case you didn't know: Avi a.k.a Tarasov thug #3. Is Ryan O'Reilly from Oz, 1997. And "The Vulture" from Brooklyn 99. A great character actor
Yeah! He cracks us up in whatever he does. Loved him in Brooklyn 99!
The scene when Marcus say "No my good sir! I'll go on my own" was just cold 🥶
I don't know whether you guys would give your reactions on other John Wick's parts but if you do I'm sure you would still say John Wick's first part was the best 🙌
Because in other parts it's just FIGHTING.... FIGHTING......& FIGHTING especially the very last part so far
I watched all parts but still first one is my personal favorite 🔥
Loved your reaction 👏
Appreciate it! We will be going through all of the John Wick's. We are uploading chapter 2 soon!
Looking forward to it ✨
Just to appreciate the films more you have to watch Keanu's Taran Tactical videos of him training with his livefire exercises....its some of the most impressive shooting. Its exactly what you see in the films, but without all the 'hollywood extra-ness'. Keanu is so dedicated to his profession.
The gun that Vigo gives the car insurance guy is a "self deletion" gun, Vigo only loaded one bullet, that's why Mayhem laughed.
That's hilarious lol. Makes sense with how Vigo was acting before he handed it over
No, it didn’t have only one shot, otherwise the bolt would have locked, which it didn’t. Mayhem dude was just thrilled he got a shot off, that’s why he started laughing.
All the questions you guys have mainly about the Continental/Hotel and the underground world yall can find these answers in the next 3 movies.
Awesome! That stuff was so intriguing
Ok first time here, you two are adorbs, you chilled out around the three minute mark and got invested, good stuff so far.
Thanks!
One of my first uni classes was on cemeteries. They are super peaceful and beautiful.
@jessandness The doorman Francis is played by WWE Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash. When Francis was telling him about his weight, it was code for letting John know how many guards were inside of the club.
The Triangle building is "The Continental Hotel". I believe it is a heritage building.
Keanu trained with Taran Tactical, they have multiple videos of him tearing thru shooting drills. Great stuff
What a machine
Funny story. There was one time that my old man hit me. Granted I was an adult and I did deserve it. But he was a judo master and I hesitate to say that we were in a "fight" because he just beat the shit out of me. At the time I was in my early 20s and he was mid 50s.
"That building" is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court. It is very similar in appearance to the Flatiron Building. So sometimes when you see "that building" it is the Beaver Building and sometimes it it the Flatiron. The easiest way to tell them apart is that the Flatiron has a much narrower front curve and has only one window on each floor on the curve whereas the Beaver Building has two side by side.
26:52 "This is a cool song, too." It's titled "Think" by Kaleida and is available for purchase individually from the John Wick original soundtrack. And yes, I bought the song.
Also, if Tess is this squeamish, I wonder how she'll handle the fatalities in the sequels as they're far more brutal and graphic, especially one in JW3.
Tess is probably more into gore than Jess honestly.
@@JessAndTess Good to know. I own all four JW films on Blu-ray and JW3 is probably my least favorite due to that one kill alone.
Normally there are subtitles on screen for Russian, I think on streaming it's removed. (Not Ron Pearlman doorman).
Shoulder wound into the artery, you bleed out in seconds.
Keanu did weapon handling and hand to hand combat for over 4000 hours for this film.. that is dedication and one of the reasons why the john wick films are soo great. lol "so many bald dudes" when i worked nightclub security i used to shave my head.. no hair to pull.
When I was only 19 years old... My family had make the decision to pull my brother off of life support.. and he was only 23 years old... Yeah.. Very hard choice to make!
OMG... I'm sorry to hear that... ❤️
@@JessAndTess Thank you!!❤
Don't know if anyone else has said it but there's a whole show about the hotel called the Continental
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not lol 🤣
I love that she exclaims "Its a dog" while I'm thinking wouldn't it be great if it was a bunny or a ferret. A slightly different movie.
The Doorman Francis was played by Kevin Nash (the former WWE wrestler). Interesting fact he also played Super Shedder in the 90s movie TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze.
A renaissance man
The creator and writer of this film went on to create a second version of the same basic idea and general plot, Nobody, which came out in 2021. It's a different take on the same ideas and ended up being even better. They're filming Nobody 2 later this year.
Yeah! We've heard of this, it's got Saul Goodman as the star, right? We've got it on our list of movies to watch. Hoping to get to it soon!
Michael Nyqvist (Vigo) was only four years older than Keanu. Some people just age well. Nyqvist (RIP) was great in the Swedish versions of the "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" films.
Nobody ages like Keanu. Bro is timeless
The guns and gun training came from Taren Tachtical in California. Keanu trained in the 3 gun competition style. And did VERY well. Same with the driving. He trained with the driving stunt guys.
It shows!
There is a tv series based on the beginning of the hotel system called the Contenintal.
*OK, now you guys need do a reaction to the ScreenRants "John Wick Pitch Meeting" (comedy). They mention the puppy, of course, and the mis-use of "Baba Yaga". It's only 6 minutes long, but it's so funny. At least watch it, but a reaction to it would be great.*
I don't know if either of you have ever watched it but if not check out the film Platoon (Charlie Sheen & Willem Dafoe). That's the first film I ever saw him in. His performance in that is something else.
This is one of the few cases where the sequels are better.
Really!? Now we're even more excited. That's a high bar.
Yes, there are people like this in NYC. Downtown, where the streets have no numbers.
Fun Fact - There is a movie or show I'm not sure which, of the hotel called "The Continental", forgot what streaming service it was on
The guns in this movie are readily available at ANY gun shop, 1911 Colt .45 auto, Browning Hi-power 9mm, Rugar LCP, Sig 320. They are nothing special, just normal guns produced every day. It depends on who's hands they are in. Keanu Reeves is highly trained with weapons in real life and can do all the things seen in this movie, because he did.
As a career criminal, I love one line..."they'll run"
They have a three part prequel show on peacock called the continental and it shows you how Winston got a hold of the hotel!
Can't wait to watch it!
"Knock off Ron Pearlman" was Kevin Nash. He's a pro wrestler and played The Russian in The Punisher movie.
Before anyone else gives you false information, the building used for The Continental is the Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court in NY. It IS NOT the Flatiron Building, as others seem to believe. (Guess they never heard of Google.)
Correct! Pretty easy to mistake at a glance, but very different in details. Two big giveaways are right at the front, with the more widely rounded corner (fitting two rows of windows), and steps leading to that entrance of the Beaver Building. However, the Flatiron Building lacks those steps, and that corner has one row of windows.
There actually is a limited mini series called ''The continental'' that is about the hotel, set in the 1970s that is in the john wick universe.
@jessandtess Make sure you guys watch THE CONTINENTAL after watching the 4 films. It's the prequel to the films.
Wick's back tat translates to "fortune favors the bold*
its completely normal to think a graveyard is peaceful, that's kind of the point. its meant to be a nice place to rest in peace.
Btw there's a series on Prime about the hotel, it's called The Continental, with Mel Gibson and some lesser known actors
hi gun nerd here, that gun you asked about is a Keltec KSG. a pump action 12 gage shotgun. most tube fed shotguns just have one magazine tube, the unique thing about the KSG is that it has 2 magazine tubes increasing the capacity to 14. it also uses a bullpup design witch basically means that the bullet goes off behind the trigger. this makes for a gun that is more compact that is easier to maneuver but with a full length barrel that keeps the velocity of the bullet higher making a rifle more accurate at further distances and shotguns will take more distance for the pellets to spread.
Very cool! Thank you!
i like the part where the cop looks inside sees the dead body and thinks i saw nothing i'm leaving
We loved Jimmy!
I'd like to make 2 points, first John stabbed Vigo in the neck not the should, second there are actually a lot of arteries in your shoulder and if you nick one of them you're gonna bleed to death in about 2-3 minutes and John being a master assassin knows this. Anyway loved y'alls reaction to this amazing movie!
Appreciate it!
this movie turned a generation of pet owners into john wick lol
Tess would go full Wick if they did anything to our Volibear 🤬
6:16 that’s a $5000 turd. They couldn’t get the puppy to do it so they CGI’d it. 23:26 they have a tv series on Peacock called “The Continental” which is set on the 70s before John Wick. It’s three episodes. 25:34 that’s Kevin Nash former wrestler (think he’s retired). He told John how many were in the club by code. 26:50 saw a Doctor react to this movie and he said that the knife up into the mouth would’ve been painful because of all the nerves in the mouth. 27:46 Keanu had a fever during this scene and still did an amazing job. He did all the moves except for the fall off the balcony. They had a stuntman do that cause it was dangerous for the stuntman to do. That’s how Keanu and Chad decided what Keanu could and couldn’t do by if a trained stunt person could get seriously hurt then he didn’t do it and he never called what he did stunts. He called them action scenes cause he wasn’t a stuntman and he respected his stunt team. He’s bought them watches and motorcycles as wrap gifts. 29:52 I believe he got a broken champagne bottle shoved in his side. 46:42 he realized that Viggo didn’t give him a fully loaded gun. Viggo used that gun to shoot Marcus and didn’t reload it. 48:44 yeah he directed the knife to where he was stabbed at the club. 49:58 that dog was scheduled to be put down. So he’s giving the dog a second chance at life that he’s hoping to get. 50:38 this actually happened to a Navy Seal in Texas and he chased the killers through four counties and let the cops have them. His comment was he’s not going to ruin his life for them and they’re going to have to deal with the consequences in jail.
Wow! lot of cool insight here! Thanks!!!
My fav. of John Wick's movie was all the of them and I'm looking forward for the next one cuz I love John Wick's Movies
Same!
he let him stab him to 1 extend his arm to be able to hyper extend and break it and also to get the knife XD John is a machine
💀💀
33:01 The is a 3 episode miniseries called "The Continental" (on Peacock).
Yep! going to check it out once we get through the movies!
You absolutely were supposed to have captions! I saw this in theatres and they translated the language on screen with fancy fonts
There is a series about the hotel called the continental. Not sure if it was on Netflix or Peacock.
That "insane shotgun" is a Keltech KSG with what looked like an Eotech red dot sight. It holds 14 + 1 shotgun shells.
It looks awesome!
@JessAndTess It looks awesome, however, in real life, some times has some quality control issues. Or parts or accessories have been known to break.
Some swear by it while others swear AT it...lol.
John Wick movies all have some really cool guns.
Thanos: Where is the soul stone?!?
Strange: (holds up a dog) It's inside this dog.
Thanos: (kills dog) Ha! That was your plan?
Strange: Wait for it.....
John Wick: Hey, have you guys seen my new dog?
🤣
There's a series called The Continental about the guy that runs it. When he was younger.
The thing that bothers me about this movie is that josef should've heard about john long ago. Even if he was very young. John should've heard of viggos son if not met him.
That's a good point. Maybe he's heard the rumors, but didn't know what he looked like
