The great thing about this film is that Keanu did the majority of his own stunts & there's video of him doing major gun training for these films. Also, the ending with the dog, it was going to be put down, which is why he picked that one.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Ohhh, good info thanke

[@juankusoff]

And it was a beautiful dog

[@Pecos1]

If you go back and watch the ending again, pause just before Keanu opens the cage door, you'll see the paperwork on the cage door reads, "euthanize". No, I don't recall the exact phrasing, just that word is on the paper.

[@Dilirium23]

This movie has the best one word description of how badass someone is. "Oh."

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

got it

[@DragonIsNotASlave]

Keanu got into a motorcycle accident a few years ago. He lost his front tooth, booth in his mouth, he was dazed and had road rash on his leg where he could see his white bone. And people ran up to him to help him then they realized who he was and people were asking him for his autograph. He just laughed it off. He’s such a kind, compassionate and decent human being in real life. He cut most of his salary for his movie so crew could be paid more and hire more people. He donates a ton to charity anonymously. These things weren’t really found out until a few years ago because he’s an extremely shy, private and introverted person in real life. The guy who wants the car, the bad guy’s son play Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones. He’s absolutely fantastic in that role. As you know in A Song of Ice and Fire, you know how hard that role would be to play.

[@cflournoy1529]

The exchange he has with Jimmy the police officer is priceless😂😂😂

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Love that

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

If you liked this one, you'll definitely want to see the sequels. They're just as action packed but they also explore the John Wick universe and how the assassin world works. The films get much more complex than typical action films. Keanu looks like he knows how to handle weapons because he does. He started weapon training 20+ years ago on The Matrix (another film you should see) and has kept learning and training for all those years. There are videos of him running shooting courses during his training for the John Wick films that show how good he is. As far as Wick stabbing himself, it's because it allowed him to control where the knife went which was into the wound he already had and that he knew wasn't fatal. It also allowed him to take the knife away from the other guy more easily.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I'm looking forward to the 2nd one

Opinions vary on Keanu Reeves acting throughout his career. But one thing everyone agrees on, is he is a fantastic human being in real life, especially extraordinary after what he has endured personally. The motorcycle story is just a sample of the what this man is about.

[@TheRealSevYT]

@@michaeljacyna1973 I have never once talked to anyone about The Devil's Advocate who thought or said Keanu's performance was bad or unintentionally funny; the only reviews I've seen saying things like that are from armchair internet movie experts on IMDB with names like Brawl666 whose 1 star reviews were blatantly biased, amateurish at best, incorrect/misinformative and not getting the point at worst, and whom themselves got *_at most_* 40% upvotes in agreement - the kind of review not even Roger Ebert would have agreed with regardless of how self-inflated he was. IMHO that movie is fantastic and the casting was phenomenal for literally *_every character._*

I was hugely surprised when I watched this I was expecting a decent movie and thought the name of the movie was generic but after watching it it became one of my favorite action movies next to Die Hard

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Yeah, I really enjoyed the gun play

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

I was also very surprised when I watched it. It was hyped so much, and I heard many people say it was one of their favorite action movies, but then I watched it and it seemed to me to be a very generic and somewhat boring action movie.

He isn't a normal Hollywood celebrity. Videos abound him just being a nice person. Giving up a seat on subways, eating lunch in the park, not getting mad at a woman who backs into his bike.

That's cool

[@Stephanie-es7wv]

Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon. His father is Hawaiian-Chinese, his mother is british. He grew up in Canada (he's got the Canadian citizenship) and lives in the US since 1986. Unlike many here claim, Francis didn't tell John that 60 bodyguards were in the club, but 27. They were speaking russian and he said he lost 27 kilograms, which is the actual number of the bodyguards inside the club.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Got it, love it. Thanks

[@e72882]

I love this movie. It is heart-wrenching at the beginning and satisfying at the end. This film brought back the action genre in a good way and they made Keanu Reeves a bonafide star again. You can feel his pain, his frustration, and his anger with every move he makes. However, it is his determination and decision to live at the end that truly makes this movie so good in my opinion.

[@valaport]

Sixth Sense!!

[@BigGator5]

Boom! HEADSHOT!! Fun Fact: According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed. Bonus Fact: The security guard who waves Wick onto the airport runway is reading the 1970s thriller novel "Shibumi" by Rod Whitaker, under the pen name Trevanian, also about a retired master assassin dragged back into the game. The story Viggo tells about how Wick once killed three men "with a pencil" is describing a crucial scene from the same novel.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

That is interesting thanks

[@BigGator5]

While I have your attention: Would you like to react to a sci-fi show created by Gene Roddenberry (but made long after his death), stars THE Kevin Sorbo, has a discount Alan Tudyk, is currently free to watch here on KZbin, and no one else is doing a reaction to it?

Keanu is Hawaiian & you mentioned his handling of the weapons, he hires firearm experts and spends months training on every weapon he's going to pick up during the entire movie. There's no doubt he could reassemble any one of them in the dark & as you mentioned, his proficiency shows. He does his own driving as well.

I remember seeing this for the first time. I dont generally like these kinds of movies, but i decided to watch it and i was hooked. The way he fights is incredible and i think the biggest thing i noticed is that he is always reloading. in a lot of these types of movies it seems the guy has unlimited ammo and they also have a tendency to shoot the other guys in the arms or even the chest but most dont seem to be kill shots, but John Wick shoots a lot point blank in the head leaving no doubt they are dead. IDK, something about the way this was made drew me in and have loved these movies ever since.

Kirill (the guy with the lean face who stabbed John with the bottle and threw him over the balcony) wasn't Iosef's brother. He was a bodyguard employed by Viggo. If you watch the first scene where John attacks Viggo on the street, it's Kirill who engages him first by taking calm, steady shots with a handgun and I'm pretty sure he's also the one who rams the car to spin it into him. He's also the last guy standing when John gets loose from the plastic bag, though John does manage to defeat and kill him at that point.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Appreciate the insight you have

[@scottalynch]

Not as much stole a dog at the end, John saved the dog. The dog was scheduled to be put down

None of what you said about his ethnicity is true. Keanu’s father’s side is Chinese Hawaiian. He’s not Japanese and Keanu is not a Japanese name, it’s a Hawaiian name.

[@Pecos1]

Yes, Keanu Reeves is part Hawaiian. The pistol he is carrying in the poster, it does not have a silencer nor a suppressor. It does have what is called a compensator on it, which h extends the length of it and provides more stability when firing. I know this, because I own the same pistol. It is a Heckler&Koch P30L.

[@CaptainAmercia]

Greatly inspired by John Woo's Heroic Bloodshed/Hong Kong action films known for highly chaotic action sequences, stylized imagery, Mexican standoffs, and frequent use of slow motion. The Matrix is another film inspired by this style of firearm fight scenes. If you loved John Wick I highly recommend John Woo's films such as Hard Boiled, The Killer, Supercop, and Face/Off to name a few. They all share a very noir feel combined with this style of chaotic action sequences with Hard Boiled being one of my personal favourites. If you do watch these movie's I recommend going for the non dubbed version as the English dubs are awful lol Face/Off on the other hand is a western film directed by Woo so it's in English and features some really good actors you may know. Overall John Wick is a great series of film you'll no doubt enjoy them all. There's also a game called Max Payne which draws heavily from John Woo's you'll right away see what I mean in the gameplay - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKLJqJqrj8Sfj68

Amazing action in this

I love this movie and I have loved Keanu sens I was a teen. My private Idaho with River Phoenix (RIP) is a favorite of mine. Speed is kind of corny but it's a guilty pleasure. I alsow love the movie he did with Joaquin Phoenix (Rivers younger brother) back when he's name was still Leif Phoenix. I think it's called Parenthood... It don't know I'm old..

I had heard others note the security' uniform look. Hearing you note it brought a thought to my mind. Could it be an homage to the original Star Trek series? It was almost a running gag that if there was an away mission, the red-shirted security people on the team were the first to die.

Nobody is another fun movie in this same universe (I think it's the same - if not it's very similar). It's much more lighthearted but still just as brutal if that makes any sense. I am probably in the minority, but I liked Nobody even more than John Wick - both are fantastic though!

Looking forward to the next one now that I know there are 3

[@adamshepard5977]

i agree w/you

[@armntic]

Yes, the writer wrote both John Wick and Nobody and confirmed in an interview that they were in the same universe.

I love the symbolism of him shattering the foundation of his new life, the basement floor, to re-enter his old life, the guns and violence.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

ohhh yeah, good one

Keanu Reeves never fails to deliver

[@michelletrainor7096]

The conversation with Francis was code telling him 60 guys in there.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

NOOOOO.... 60 guys???

[@Stephanie-es7wv]

Not 60, but 27. Their conversation was in russian and Francis said he lost 27 kilograms.

I think Speed is my favorite Keanu Reeves movie. Also, Dennis Hopper is captivating as the villain.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

That hotel is an assassin's hangout.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]
