[@waterbeauty85]

4:49 It's not just because of the car. It's because John dared to stand up to Iosef by saying "no" and because John showed him up when he thought he was being sly by insulting John in Russian - all in front of Iosef's goons. Iodef needs to prove his dominance to John and to his own underlings because he's afraid of looking like the weak, spoiled brat that he is.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

True true!! 🚗 🔫 🐕 🕳 🎯!

[@przemekkozlowski7835]

Iosef fails to understand what real power is in the world he and Viggo operate in. It is implied that Iosef just killed a bunch of people in Miami so that Viggo could win a mob war and fully acquire a rival gangs territory and assets. They expanded their power considerably and moved up in the underworld hierarchy. They could buy dozens of vintage Mustangs with a portion of the money they just made. Yet Iosef has to prove himself to his buddies who are nobodies are already plenty impressed by Iosef being Viggo's son and heir.

22:27 John Wick's body count is 77 in the first film

[@archwayportraits]

Was about to post the same, glad I checked the comments first.

[@blakewalker84120]

Actually, I think that's the movie's body count. Marcus gets 3, Perkins gets 2, Viggo gets 1, and a group of dudes get 1 (Perkins). So I think John only gets 70. Unless he pulled the plug on Helen, in which case it's 71.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

@@blakewalker84120 i said John Wick's body count, not the entire movie's body count. John Wick kills 77 people.

[@archwayportraits]

@@blakewalker84120 I was intrigued and hate giving wrong information so I watched a bunch of kill count videos. The consensus is you are right... Kinda... He doesn't kill 77, he kills 76 (though there is some ambiguity on a few due to editing and reusing stuntmen). Almost all were explicit headshots, a few stabbing, and a handful when he blew up the cars, but the count did not include any deaths that weren't by his hands.

[@blakewalker84120]

@@-EchoesIntoEternity- If you say so. My 1 minute google search said 77 people die. Clearly John doesn't kill everybody who dies. Doesn't matter much to me. 70 or 77, still impressive.

[@phj223]

I was genuinely concered for Addie when she started crying at the first sight of the dog, and at all the cute little things the dog does. Oh you sweet summer child...

[@FutureBoy85]

The part where Viggo says, "Well, John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the f#%@$!& Boogeyman." Never fails to give me chills. As always I loved you reaction Addie! ❤

[@canadianicedragon2412]

At the three and a half minute mark... Addie crying over the sweet dog sent by the dead wife... and knowing what is coming I expect a need for more tissues. And then... addie skips the tears and goes straight to anger over the attack. I love the layer to this the code they speak, the "motivation" (for example Marcus asked if the contract was exclusive since the answer was no he agreed so he could be close enough to protect him.) you almost need to watch it several time to get it... even then you miss details. One detail it is easy to miss if no one explains it is Francis talking about "weight loss" while actually telling John how many guards are inside.

[@ObeyWannTK6960]

I never knew that thos conversation was code.

They messed with the wrong former assassin for hire in this action adventure thriller! When they killed the dog, it wasn't just a pet, it was supposed to represent John having a normal life, but when the dog died, they took away his one chance of happiness.

[@0okamino]

It seems like a poor choice to mess with any former assassin who still has capability, but I must agree that John tops the list.

[@Akaeus]

Yes, it's Wesley from Daredevil. Glad someone reacting to this movie finally caught it.

[@Kaylakaze]

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Nice reaction / review. There is conjecture that John's wife was a veterinarian. She had a dog sent to him. He knew exactly where he could get meds and everything needed for his wounds. He watched the phone video of her right in front of the place he went to for the meds. He picked a dog that was scheduled to be put down. And as he walks away with the new dog he is walking the same route where his wife collapsed in the beginning. You have an incredible rabbit hole opened before you now. Enjoy #2 and #3 soon. Each gets progressively better in a way. Number 4 is available now also. As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

[@brandonflorida1092]

Another great reaction, Addie. Thanks. Keanu Reeves performed about 90% of his own stunts in the film, including the car chases and fight scenes. He trained extensively in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for the film, and actually earned a blue belt. The movie was shot in just 33 days, which is a very tight schedule for a feature film. The Continental Hotel in the film is a real New York City location called The Hazelton Hotel. The dog that plays John Wick's beloved pup, Daisy, was a rescue dog named Andy. See you next time.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Please watch the rest of the series. It's totally worth it & Chapter 4 has a post credit scene as well 😀.

[@tsrgoinc]

Oh come on please, The slightly unbelievable moments in this film you can excuse in awe of the fight choreography and the camerawork, but chapter 4 is complete trash, unbelievable, unrealistic, the third act a rip off of The Warriors and John Wick is so much a shadow of himself, because Keanu Reeves is unfortunately now looking almost every minute of his 60 years! It’s just like deciding to have an 80 year old play a swashbuckling action adventurer but surely no one would be stupid enough to do that! 🤦‍♂️

When you watch it more than once, (and also if you continue the series as you should) you notice how big the John Wich world is. The coins for their currency. The coded language like, "dinner reservation for 12," meaning "clean up 12 bodies for me." It's all really amazing. I was sooo interested to see how sweet and soft Addie would handle The Boogieman.

[@FeaturingRob]

Hey Addie... The series only builds from here...and gets really wild, but still really awesome. - Keanu went through months of training for the role. Specifically, weapons training and there are videos on KZbin showing some of it. - These films use the best stunt guys as well as use many actors from 'The Matrix' franchise. Chad Stahelski, who is credited as the main director (although direction and producing were shared with David Leitch) was Keanu's stunt double on 'The Matrix', and was stunt coordinator on the sequels (he even shows up in a small role in the last 'Matrix' film). The Continental Doctor played by Randall Duk Kim was the Keymaker in 'Matrix Reloaded', and the main bodyguard Kirill was played by Daniel Bernhardt who was the "upgraded" Agent Johnson in 'Matrix Reloaded". More 'Matrix" cast members will appear in the next films. - The concierge of Continental, Charon was played by Lance Reddick. Tragically, Lance died just prior to the release of the last 'John Wick' film. RIP, Lance! - Viggo Tarasov was played by the late Swedish actor Mikael Nyqvist. Prior to 'Wick', Nyqvist was best known here in America for playing Mikael Blomquist in the Swedish film versions of the 'Millennium' novels by Stieg Larsson...'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', 'The Girl Who Played With Fire', and 'The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest'. If you are willing, watch these films...they are really good. They are intense as the subject matter is not for the faint-hearted, but they are solid mystery thrillers that topped the book best-seller charts for a few years, and the films keep the spirit of the novels. When 'Dragon Tattoo' was remade in English, Daniel Craig played Blomquist...which is also a decent version, I prefer the Swedish versions though. Noomi Rapace just kills it as the title character, Lisbeth Salander (aka The Girl of the title).

[@timokampwerth1996]

Fun little fact: Vigo gave his son the cheap vodka to drink so it'd burn more when he throws it up.

[@Ylyrra]

Pretty sure he gave him the EXPENSIVE flashily-branded vodka to him, because his son thinks it's a reward, but he wasn't going to waste the GOOD vodka, which is why he doesn't drink it himself. There's a few ways to interpret the scene though.

[@crankfastle8138]

I feel like I read an article that said that the original plan wasn't to kill Daisy, only hurt her. Keanu said that they had to kill her because his character would not have been as motivated if they'd only hurt her. Also, I think I read that the actor that had to "kill" Daisy was pretty traumatized by the scene.

[@SonicMegaKing]

That actor has something wrong with them to be traumatized from that. They didn't even show him hitting her. Must be a shot actor.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

@@SonicMegaKing It doesn't matter that they didn't show him hitting the pup. That just says what made the final cut. On the day of filming, they almost certainly had him pretend to hurt the dog over and over again.

[@randalthor741]

In an era with so many remakes and adaptations, John Wick was a breath of fresh air with a new original IP that was immediately gripping and entertaining as hell, while leaving you wanting to know more about the fascinating underworld that they built. Great movie, great franchise (I haven't seen Chapter 4 yet, but I've heard good things). IMO this movie really deserved to be a huge blockbuster, and it's nice that this was a case where creativity was rewarded and the box office justified the (excellent) sequels.

some fun info: -Each of the 4 movies has an overarching theme: JW 1 is Grief - that is why the colors are so muted, and john is reluctant to kill in the beginning. JW 2 is Retribution, JW 3 is consequences, and JW 4 is desperation. -The gold coins are not rated by monetary value, but by the holder, so if John uses 12 coins for the first cleanup scene, then someone of lesser status will need more. -The Continental Hotel is a character in itself with its many rules.(more are explored in the later movies) -The High Table (the ones running the assassins in this universe) are more involved in the later movies. -The doctor uses the same actor as the keymaker in the matrix movies. -John is the only one that addresses the managers of the Continental by their names. -the scene with the bodyguard was actually code for how many guards were in the building. -The dog john rescues is Keanu's actual pet dog.

“ Now they’re just ringing the doorbell now?“ I was not expecting that and I burst out laughing so hard.

Great reaction Addie! Luv daisy the dog and that scene gets me everytime! Im thinking John Wick is BACK!!😁 Luv ya Addie ❤💛

[@montysmegma4649]

I just started watching your reaction videos and subscribed. Here is why. You are exceptionally astute, smart and observant. No matter the movie….you get it. You miss nothing. You would be the kind of friend that I would want to go to the movies with and talk about it afterwards. Thank you Addie.

Marcus's always been there to help, that's why he asked if the contract was open or not, if it's open, then he has to step in to protect John. Same for the scene with Francis the bouncer, when John asked about his weight loss, he would say 27 kg to signify there are 27 bodyguards in the building, knowing Francis used to be John's driver, that's why John rewards Francis's loyalty by not killing him right off the bat and letting him go

Keanu Reeves is actually that good with a gun. There are videos of him training for this series of movies. The John Wick series delves into a world where hitmen and the Criminal empires are the mainstream and civilians stay out. It's all controlled by a mysterious group called "The High Table".

One thing must be made clear: the "management" of the hotel did not only do this for John Wick, no matter who violates the rules of the hotel, receives the same penalty.

[@fnglert]

"What do they do with the bodies?" Soylent gr - "I don't wanna know." Understandable, have a nice day.

[@dennisswainston411]

FYI Addie, the new puppy at the end of the movie is Keanu's pet in real life!

Watched this again just last night, I'd seen it once but it was a long time ago. I love the attention to detail, with the "cleaners," and how the Continental operates, and especially in the action scenes. Humans are fragile creatures, but we can survive some pretty incredible stuff. Almost everyone who goes down takes three or four shots, and it's kind of an open question if they're all actually dead, or just wounded enough to not get back up. The exception to that, of course, is the headshots, though people can even survive that, but since a number of these are basically coup-de-grace finishing blows, I'd wager most people shot in the head are actually dead. It's all very cool, stylized action scene stuff, but also paying attention to realism with how hard human beings can be to actually kill. Now, as the movie goes on, "Instant Death Bullet" gets played increasingly straight, but still. It makes for an interesting change of pace from the average action movie, especially when John is facing multiple opponents, needing to get multiple shots off at each to truly take them out.

OMG!! As soon as I saw you were watching this, I thought to myself, “Your followers are evil!!” We know how Addie feels about dogs!! 😳🥺

[@MarcoMM1]

Another great reaction you are gonna love the remaining John Wick movies its awsome, and answering to your question about how many people John Wick kill in this movie the answer is 77. Keep up the amazing work Addie take care

The scene where Vigo calls John and John just stands there silently…never has so much been said without saying a word.

Finally it is time for Baba Yaga.

John Wick is a great series of films. I love the fact that it starts out quite small, and each film builds on the previous. Well worth watching. I would also highly recommend Atomic Blonde (based on a graphic novel and staring Charlize Theron as, basically a female John Wick). "The Stairwell Fight" in that is one of the best fight sequences of modern cinema imo. Done by the crew that does all the best fight sequences in current movies - 87 Eleven.

[@waterbeauty85]

24:20 I've always wondered what Vigo meant by "the last of the old guard." It makes me imagine that way back in the day there was veritable civil war between crime organizations which required the services of a generation of hardcore war time assassins and that Marcus was the only one of them left.

[@Xman_supreme]

I didn't know about this series until Chapter 3 hit theaters. It blew me away, man. I freaking love John Wick.

[@veradex8016]

So glad you're finally starting John Wick! The world building only gets better as the series goes on. So excited for Chapter 2! Personal favorite 😃
