the respect between these characters is amazing. Half the reason why John doesn't die is due to people respecting him enough to not kill him off and plot armor.
That's why I didn't like these movies. In real life the first time ninja Gaiden there took his back that blade would be spot into his spine. Movies may be entertaining but typically they are really dumb, illogical and require you to forget the actual world and everything you know to enjoy it. If you really want the impossible challenge....only watch movies that are realistic and don't require a suspension of reality.
@@scottwall8419 it seems clear these movies aren’t for you, but I found them a lot of fun (especially 4). They’re not trying to be realistic. Just trying to give a hell of a good time.
Tired of people coming to these clips to talk about how badly John is fighting here. For context John has been fighting and running this entire movie since he's ex-communicano. And you know what else? the timeline of John Wick movies is like so: John Wick 1- one week later- John Wick 2- Immediately after- John Wick3 Meaning the dude has been fighting and running around for two whole movies. He doesn't get any time to heal or rest. Its just non stop. He also had to take on two very skilled fighters just before this fight. It's a bit insane to see that folks refuse to acknowledge this. After this fricken fight, he ends up battling heavily armed soldiers of the high table with his friend Wilson. Needless to say, John totally deserves the right to be tired.
whether it makes sense for him to be tired is one thing, whether he should keep winning these fights when they show a hundred moments where he should have died isn't another. from 0:15 to 0:45 alone there are like 4 different points where he should have died, and to say the bad guy was just playing takes all the tension out of the scene. like ok sure everyone just wants to die to wick, aight whatever
@@MenachemSchmuel Respect given is respect earned. The world of John Wick is clearly not reality as we know it. I mean have you noticed there are next to no police or swat threats in this movie? Its never even a passing thought. Then theres John. An entity that is constantly taking damage, running around, doing intense kills and still manages to have the energy to proceed to the very next fight. 3 movies worth of fights that span canonically between week 1 and 2. No one has the ability to do that. The honor system of killers is the least unrealistic thing about the series. John is feared, respected and creates levels of jealousy among killers. He has plenty of fans and critics that want to prove something. John is always given the opportunity to use his skills to turn the tide in an engagement. The killers rarely attempt to kill John from afar. Its weird but that's how people work in this.
I believe John is made to look weak and slow on purpose, because he is not a 100% atm, ffs he's been on the run for how long? Sleep deprivation, not eating properly and being out the game for so long without his training regiment all hindered him so I know when I see number 4 tomorrow he will be baba yaga at full potential
I feel like when it comes to armed weapon combat (or anything that can be used as a weapon in hands) he’s a professional at. But when in hand to hand combat it’s mostly defense or quick altercation. Most of the time he gets his ass beat down but never actually throws hands or deal a offensive blow. So whenever he finds something he can use as a weapon, the battle is over for his opponents but if it’s throwing hands. He’s mostly trying to find a way out.
On top of that in the first film he was mostly up against mooks and henchmen. In each sequel he squares up against more pros of his caliber. No one is nearly as determined as John, but they're just as skilled.
3:28 I LOVE these little nonverbal dialogue bits in the John Wick movies. John: I took your sword. I took your leg. This fight's over. Zero: I still have this fist. John: Fine then.
The turning of the sword as well, if I recall. It is a non-verbal sign that you are willing to show mercy, out of respect. Zero refused to let that be the case.
John Wick 3 takes more than a week alone. There's a seven day time gap between the Adjudicator telling the Bowery King and Winston to resign and the Adjudicator having the Bowery King cut 7 times.
Yeah, and JW2 takes place a while after the events of the first. John is settling back down after avenging his dog and taking back his car before Santino arrives.
Remember, though, if you ever find yourself in a sword fight for whatever reason, reverse grip has absolutely no tactical advantage and puts you in a worse off position than in foregrip. More movement and awkward power is needed to get any hits in, and you've left your front completely undefended
If you've got the manual dexterity for it, I imagine a quick flip of the fingers and wrist rotation would let a reargrip pull off some nasty backswings- especially since a stab is alot easier to put force behind when pressing down rather than pushing forward
@@bepting yeah definitely. the "sharp" side of the sword is facing towards the fingers, with the back away from them. It is very very difficult to resist a pressing force from, say, a clash of swords or even a strike itself when you have no physical hand-meat there to resist the motion with XD
I have this weird knife that seems to be designed for reverse grip. It's a curved blade, but near the handle, there's like a sharp fish hook point, so if you hold it in reverse and swipe across it could rip through flesh.
They both get opportunities to kill each other while the other was down, but none takes it. Maybe because they respect each other ? If that's what the film portrays, not stabbing in the back, fighting head on.
Full disclosure: this is all speculation on my part. I think there’s a certain code of conduct…uhhh, fairness, if you will, that is expected when youre not trying to kill someone as a kill contract. When youre trying to kill someone in a straight up fight, youre expected to shoot or stab your opponent from the front. With the bald assassin, Zero, he wants to defeat John in all his present capability because he’s such a fan. For John, however, he’s just trying to defeat anyone he cant dissuade from fighting him. But, he still wants to be out, deep down, he’s still a man who was loved by his wife and wants to cling to that part of himself and in so doing cling to the memory of his wife. Thus, he is giving everybody who approaches him the chance to walk away because he is done with that life. In John’s case, i think there’s a drastic reluctance to kill, but, from his perspective, every opponent who steps forth gives him no choice. Here, in this fight, Zero attempts to re-engage after John stabs him twice and cuts him once. However, he realizes he is mostly disabled and bleeding out. John turns the blade a little, implicitly saying something to the effect of, without words, “you are defeated. Surrender or walk away and you will live. Attack and you will die.” Zero gives a slightly defeated look with his head tilting to the side and then clenching his remaining unimpaired hand into a fist. This, implicitly saying without words something to the effect of, “im under contract to kill you. I have to keep fighting.” At which point, Zero makes his last stand against John and is defeated.
@@hush4522 This is my new understanding for the fight and makes me appreciate it a lot more than I did on the first viewing. I didn't have an understanding for the ethic both men seem to carry throughout their encounter. thank you.

@@hush4522 When John gives Zero a chance to walk away because he was too messed up to continue fighting it reminded me of the legendary The Way Of The Dragon, when Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) fights Colt (Chuck Norris). Tang Lung breaks Colt's limbs and gives him a chance to walk away because the fight is obviously done. However, Colt gives him a look that's basically saying "I can't just walk", makes a final stand, and Tang Lung kills him with great regret and sorrow. There's something special in a fight scene where both fighters respect and understand each other to the point of taking no pleasure in winning because it means killing the other person
@@pabloc8808 I REMEMBER THAT!!! MY DAD SHOWED ME THAT FILM WHEN I WAS A KID! THAT EXACT MOMENT! I remember cuz i walked into the living room and thats the moment i walked in on and my dad said that’s chuck norris just a lot younger. My favorite show at the time was walker texas ranger.
I love the focus on him not just trying to block the hand with the sword but to control it since despite everything else that the bad guy can do with him with his other limbs, the hand with the sword is obviously the most deadly
@Thawne as deadly as any other part of his body is, a sorter edged weapons specifically designed to hurt someone as much as possible with as little effort as possible. A puncture wound can result in an immense amount of blood loss in a very short time period.
@Thawne Are you really trying to get into an argument about how deadly a knife can be in a fight? I'm sorry but I don't have time to waste on arguing with someone when I was just making a comment on appreciating the attention to detail as a lifelong martial artist.
You can tell Wick doesn't view this man as a threat Because he spends a majority of the fight asserting dominance by kicking his ass with the inferior reverse grip
I think it was more that Zero was making him angry. There were so many times where Zero held back and didn't finish a cut or struck him with the hilt instead of stabbing him because he was showing off and wanted to draw out the fight to test himself against the legendary John Wick. This fight also make me wonder how well the bullet-proof jacket jacket can hold up against a sword thrust. I imagine it's probably better against a cut.
Bulletproof vests actually don't work properly against knives or cutting impliments. That's one of their biggest issues is that the design required to reliably stop bullets is drastically different from one needed to defend against cutting/stabbing impliments due to their vastly different methods of attack/inflicting damage.@@ErskineDevlin
I feel like there are many times John wick would’ve been killed but he either gets saved or his opponents don’t kill him when they have the chance out of wanting a longer fight
He had a sword to to Wick's throat at the start of the fight and just stood there having a staring contest. All of these assassins want to test themselves against Wick, but when they win and have proven themselves the victor, they don't finish the kill. They think it was so easy, they want to relish the experience since now they feel superior and want to show more of their skill. Then they die. Life is hard. But it's harder when you're stupid.
@@caffynated552 I agree. It's ego+rep. "I could just kill you, but that doesn't prove I'm your successor. I need to bring out the best of your skills and overcome them; only then will I be the one that defeated THE John Wick"
Besides John losing in the beginning, I think they show him losing for one to show how strong his opponent is and two, to show Johns ability to adapt and read his opponents. It’s almost happened is all his movies really
Imagine your having a nice leisure night in your apartment across the building in the background. Got a beer in hand ready to watch some tv and you look out your window seeing two assassins fighting. Immediately turn the tv off, grab some pop corn and get some binoculars and enjoy the show.
Damn he coulda gotten away with his 2 students. John gave him the chance at the end. But bro wanted to keep fighting. And john took him out quick after
Yeah it's like a couple of hours between 2&3, he did get a moment of reprieve when he met the king and proposed his plan for that douche santino. He wasn't as badly hurt at the end of 2 like he was at the end of 1
I'm aware of Keanu's age and Mark Dacoscas but it's still too slow and they could've easily worked around their real life limitations , tons of action stars never even knew how to fight , Hollywood can make anyone look good If done right but this was boring didnt flow or have any momentum like oldschool high intensity fights , even if those admittedly always had over the top sound effects in the power of hits/damage/reaction it made for great movie fight scenes when done right. Modern stuff like John Wicks fight here is so slow that makes it even more unrealistic than the older over the top films because it's too easily telegraphed , you need momentum and raw intensity in attacks and defenses or else it's not believable enough nor exciting , the moves/coreography are dull and uncreative.
The biggest thing for me, is them touching broken glass like it's nothing. I've has small bits of it stuck in me and it hurts like hell, so either John doesn't feel pain, or the glass in their world is made of glue 😂
@KeanuReeves-rvs I been a fan for years of Keanu Reeves since Speed since childhood The Matrix movies are freaking awesome all of Keanu Reeves movies are awesome been a fan of since the 90s.
Love how they brought back mark dacascos. Was a great 90's martial artist and i found the crow series with him entertaining. Dont know if should revisit or leave things in my memory though haha
Zero didn't instantly kill Wick because he knows he is dog tired after killing a dozen bullet proof Armored assassins and even beat four of the ninja students. So it's not a fair fight. Zero idolized Wick and even tried many times to assert that they are similar, so he wanted a fair and longer fight. Anyone who says Wick was lucky can suck it. He fought professional big timers while probably at 50% of his capacity only, and they decided to fight him at slightly even odds because they're extremely professional.
In some of the wide shots you think they could have gotten a stunt double and most people wouldn't have known but you can tell it's Keanu himself doing the stunts.
Dont take me bad, I love these movies very much, but... I always find hilarious how getting the knife immediately makes you weaker instead of stronger. they hit more each other with bare hands, the minute they get the knife the accuracy drops and the enemy defenses have a buff.
It wasn't a fair fight; John Wick was already exhausted before their fight, while the opponent was well rested and without bruises. Yet, Wick defeated him anyway. If it had been a fair fight, it would have lasted shorter, I'm sure ;)
If John is slow at THIS point and still respected and feared by others, imagine what he was like in his prime. We need a prequel movie to show how he got out of the game.
The Best thing of Keanu Reeves who played "Jhon wick" is he didnt played the role like a action hero. He played it like a Person who was a assasin but came back after 5 year and got rusty and Keanu played that little weak and vaulnrable which makes him more like normal human who get beaten up too and he played that part very convincingly...
What I hate about action films is when a true martial artiste be beaten by someone who knows some classic moves with a stupid manner, only because he is the principal actor...
Master assassin fights in the shadows and he didn't fully took advantage of his opening. He wasted his chance a couple of times in the beginning and John Wick adapted which is why he lost.
For context, John has been fighting nonstop since the second movie since parabellum takes place immediately after it, meaning he is sleep deprived, physically exhausted and mentally drained here
Dude literally died couple of times in the first thirty seconds. He shouldn't have killed Zero out of respect for letting him live twice & probably more
He tried to, thats what happened after John got a few good cuts in and they both backed off. When John pointed the sword at the ground, he was offering him mercy and allowing him to walk away, but Zero wanted to continue the fight until he died (which he almost certainly knew he would, since he just got some fingers cut off and his leg slashed, among other things)
John here basically toyed with him, a little warm up, zero tried the hide and seek thinking he's good at it, John said two can play that game, and ended up destroying Zero, i think for a moment Zero underestimated John for a second
the respect between these characters is amazing. Half the reason why John doesn't die is due to people respecting him enough to not kill him off and plot armor.

The biggest thing for me, is them touching broken glass like it's nothing. I've has small bits of it stuck in me and it hurts like hell, so either John doesn't feel pain, or the glass in their world is made of glue 😂
Some types of glass, such as in cars, is designed to shatter into relatively harmless pebbles if broken, rather than slice-your-veins stabby shards.

Zero is a teacher while John is a practitioner. We can see the difference here. Experience is the point that makes the gap.
Fact: Keanu Reeves and Mark Dacascos are the same age, both was born in 1964.
Imagine trying to take a pen off a todler without getting any ink on you.
Hits Throughout The Fight:
John Wick Hits = 24
Zero Hits = 16
John Wick WINS!!!
It’s crazy to me that both respected each other so much because either one could’ve of killed the other one way earlier but didn’t
0:20 that subtext is definitely John going "come on cut me bitch!"
Putting a sharp weapon in the chest of his opponent is John's favourite MO.
What was that scenic cloud background they were rolling durning this scene? It was lovely.
Love how they brought back mark dacascos. Was a great 90's martial artist and i found the crow series with him entertaining. Dont know if should revisit or leave things in my memory though haha
Zero didn't instantly kill Wick because he knows he is dog tired after killing a dozen bullet proof Armored assassins and even beat four of the ninja students. So it's not a fair fight. Zero idolized Wick and even tried many times to assert that they are similar, so he wanted a fair and longer fight. Anyone who says Wick was lucky can suck it. He fought professional big timers while probably at 50% of his capacity only, and they decided to fight him at slightly even odds because they're extremely professional.
John needs a spa day
Strongest💪🏽 plot armor🛡️ I've EVER seen! 👀 The most plot-saved character I've ever seen!
Guy's come quick, Neo's fighting Iron Chef!
John Wick VS Bitconnect
Kung Lao vs Constantine...oh wait wrong universe lol. This was a cool fight!
Good movie, but I prefer the first and second .... Greetings from Angola 🇦🇴😍
john wick and freeman fighting !
“John Wick vs Final Boss” tf is this a video game? 😂
hes such a big fan of wick he could have slit his throat at the start but held back cause he loves him so much lol
It's been many years since I saw this martial artist in a movie, I can't remember the last time I saw him, probably over 15 years ago 😅
In some of the wide shots you think they could have gotten a stunt double and most people wouldn't have known but you can tell it's Keanu himself doing the stunts.
I love john weak.😊😊😊😊😊 are you like him.❤❤❤❤
Hope that they make an anime John Wick film like in The Animatrix. 😂
3:14 epic
Dont take me bad, I love these movies very much, but... I always find hilarious how getting the knife immediately makes you weaker instead of stronger. they hit more each other with bare hands, the minute they get the knife the accuracy drops and the enemy defenses have a buff.
John wick look menace when he comes out of the dark
the brilliant anti-kung fu trick….biting the hand 😂😂
I really love 2&4. Zero vs Caine would probably be interesting
If the opponent of john was scott Adkins or Jason Statham, then the result would be vise versa definitely..!!
Scott Adkins is actually gonna be in the 4th one
Uh huh
the reverse sword grip is the most badass shit ive ever seen
the thing i like about john wick... he isn't in it for the kill when he can..its to test his skills....
There's no reason to hold your sword upside down
Mark Dacascos ,such a underrated Martial Star XDXD 🤦🤦🤦
No joke I absolutely loved him in this movie.
It wasn't a fair fight; John Wick was already exhausted before their fight, while the opponent was well rested and without bruises. Yet, Wick defeated him anyway. If it had been a fair fight, it would have lasted shorter, I'm sure ;)
John offered to let him go at the end. That man was ready to die.
title should be "John Wick vs His biggest Fanboy"
After 100 Enemys still fit vor the Boss Fight, Love Hollywood,✌️
John be nimble John be quick John jumped over the candlestick
If John is slow at THIS point and still respected and feared by others, imagine what he was like in his prime. We need a prequel movie to show how he got out of the game.
Marc looking like the six flags guy
John Wick vs. Wo Fat 🔥
How is it possible that there is no John Wick game yet?
Best 1v1 ever
1:56 I am batman
Easy to kill wick but the movie made it look like ..
I would expect him to be fencing against lethal attacks from the other side throughout the fight, because that's how we know this guy.
I love to think that they like to put on a good long fight before they kill. because there were so many chances for john to get sliced up and stabbed
John keeps getting thrown through glass. I'm starting to think he causes more costs to property damage than health insurance
3:10 foreshadowed training with Mr.Nobody?
How so? Nobody doesn't use a sword.
@@stormichow5325 not bobs nobody
He finally defeated the double dragon
mark was just having fun with wick.
he had several opportunities but probably idolises wick too much to kill him
and Jon returned the favour
Funny how they beat each other and then play hide and seek
Hahaha so weird
I like the way john is precise, he'd make a good herald in shadow fight hihi
Zero could have killed John few times already in the beginning. John would not kill him if he stopped.
This is the guy who was the announcer for Iron Chef in case anyone didn’t know
The Best thing of Keanu Reeves who played "Jhon wick" is he didnt played the role like a action hero. He played it like a Person who was a assasin but came back after 5 year and got rusty and Keanu played that little weak and vaulnrable which makes him more like normal human who get beaten up too and he played that part very convincingly...
What I hate about action films is when a true martial artiste be beaten by someone who knows some classic moves with a stupid manner, only because he is the principal actor...
I don't understand how Wick had trouble fighting a blind man but could keep up w/ a master assassin...
Master assassin fights in the shadows and he didn't fully took advantage of his opening. He wasted his chance a couple of times in the beginning and John Wick adapted which is why he lost.
For context, John has been fighting nonstop since the second movie since parabellum takes place immediately after it, meaning he is sleep deprived, physically exhausted and mentally drained here
The problem with the blind man was that he was better than the master assassin
The problem is if the blind assassin had eyes he’d be more dangerous then John wick
The blind man was significantly more skilled and more dangerous than the assassin. If Caine had eyes Wick would have died in their first encounter
Thanks to d bald guy for not killing wick in d start otherwise there wouldn't have been John wick 3 & 4
I like this scene a lot still
Dude literally died couple of times in the first thirty seconds. He shouldn't have killed Zero out of respect for letting him live twice & probably more
He tried to, thats what happened after John got a few good cuts in and they both backed off. When John pointed the sword at the ground, he was offering him mercy and allowing him to walk away, but Zero wanted to continue the fight until he died (which he almost certainly knew he would, since he just got some fingers cut off and his leg slashed, among other things)
After seeing John Wick 4 it makes this seem less exciting. Shows how good John Wick 4 is.
I don’t think you understand.
John wick is the final boss
Jw3 is my favourite...
How did this guy go from presenting the Iron Chef secret ingredient to fighting John Wick
John here basically toyed with him, a little warm up, zero tried the hide and seek thinking he's good at it, John said two can play that game, and ended up destroying Zero, i think for a moment Zero underestimated John for a second
In reality never attack someone who’s holding a sharp object, it’s a no no no.
How does both of them keep disappearing in an open space…hmm😂
i thought that it was the Bitconnect guy
You mean , the shinobi assassin vs THE FINAL BOSS
