To the people saying they were talking too much. Pipe down, some people actually enjoy hearing about technical aspects of filmaking. Skip ahead, watch the main part, clap, laugh and gawk, then fuck off

[@etgohome1343]

[@hrvojegaspar8039]

A true hero?? He just made you miss an awesome interview!

[@b_a_z_e_dv.2.067]

I can go back to the interview, I wished to see the reaction first.

[@b_a_z_e_dv.2.067]

Britt Dallyn hello.

[@maybetoby]

someone I know pointed this out: In one scene, Wick was putting in work with an AR-15. I decided I was going to count his rounds. He fired 26 rounds in about five seconds and I told my buddy, "He's got four rounds left." Another guy rounded the corner and Wick pumped four rounds into him, then discarded his empty rifle and conducted a beautiful transition to his sidearm. I'm declaring it now: best action film ever. That's going above and beyond for accurate depictions of firearms in film, as opposed to films where they use the same firearm without ever reloading.

[@atomicsquid9836]

maybetoby Check out Keanu Reeves running three gun drills. These guys really put in the time on these movies.

[@grunt-sw8si]

Yea, check out his Taran Tactical training videos...

[@LordBloodraven]

Sterling Malory Archer would be impressed by your bullet count. Apparently he find's repetitive tasks calming.

[@philipanderson7581]

THIS IS SAVAGE!

[@ifilmstuff4754]

That just goes to show such incredible involvement from the directors. Modern productions have SO many levels of processing to the raw shot, and it requires people enforcing consistency all the way from screenwriting to the final edit. So many kudos.

[@jakflasdick]

I never realised the directors are both stunt men. That makes so much sense

[@MisterX867]

Yeah one of them was even Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix

I love that most of their answers boil down to "It makes no sense, but it was cool!" That's not an insult. I love that they're so unpretentious.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

And committed to entertainment. People dont go to the movies for reality, but its appreciated.

[@chickenis1]

@@Katya_Lastochka dude for some reason somewhere down the line people forgot movies were for fun. Thats why it really is refreshing to hear these directors say things like that.

[@JasonKingery]

It's like Hollywood forgot that not everything had to be deep and gritty. I find myself watching more b 80's action movies now a days then any big budget extravaganza. I like a movie you can just shutoff your mind and enjoy. I know I'm not alone in this.

[@strangerjones5576]

These guys put so much into their craft, but they are so willing to accept genuine criticism and jokey nitpicks. It's like Sam Raimi's philosophy where it's just like "Entertain the audience. You've failed if you dont at least do that."

[@pinktrash2720]

I think it also got to do with how they were inspired from a lot of eastern action films like crouching tiger hidden dragon. It's not about making sense but more on making the actions look cool.

[@cristiansilviu3871]

The fact that they had a quick, actually believable response to that coin question, and continued to talk about how it works, that blows my mind. Not a lot of people worry about these kind of details, and backstories in today's movies. As a guy who is obsessed with movies, bravo! This kind of passion, and thinking through the elements of the movie, this is what makes actual art.

[@cd8467]

truly, a lot of people love the John Wick movies just as action movies and while they are absolutely amazing as that i also love and admire the world-building aspect of it especially because you can tell these guys put so much thought into it and truly did think about every detail but only actually put hints in the movie here and there and then expand on it in the sequels, i honestly look up to these guys as world-builders as much as I do stunt directors

[@Badz_B34chst4r]

When I first saw the movie I though to myself "Wow, what a great action film adaptation! The source material must be so rich. This level of world building in a movie almost always comes from the comic book series or novel it is based on". But holy shit cows! These guys blew the roof off, they did the complete opposite in such a fantastic way!

[@henryofskalitz5212]

I really want to buy into this but they already demonstrated that the currency does have intrinsic value. If it was truly about just proving you are in the know-how then he would have only had to give the one coin to the cleaner, instead, he paid a single coin per corpse.

[@DurealRa]

@@henryofskalitz5212 I think it's more like a tip. It's not that each body "costs" a coin; I think the guy would have taken one coin, but he came with a whole crew, on short notice and for a guy who was out of the business, so I think the presence and quantity of coins is more a social statement of esteem than an actual price tag. "John Wick just gave me 5 coins for this" is a thing that he can say now. The coins are gold and have value, but they also get a lot of stuff for free or broadly "included" with other services for 1 coin. I think the general idea is that it's kind of like money in that it holds some value to cover various expenses, but the far more important currency in that underworld is the acceptance and appreciation of the other professionals around you, which is the real value of a single (or multiple) coins.

[@1bendykat]

@@DurealRa I love the idea that the value isn’t just in the coin itself but also the story behind it

[@Death13Horseman]

These dudes are absolutely terrific, they understand what action is about. The fact that it's an extention of the story not a different aspect of the film. I mean they cite great refrences to french filmaking, asian filmakers like John Woo, 70's Martial Arts movies, and neo-noir korean movies. With refrences like these how could they go wrong. I'm an absolute fan of theirs and an absolute fan of John Wick.

[@panszuba]

After 1st John wick I was absolute sure they did understand it, but now I've seen 2nd chapter... I'm sad and disappointed. They took it all and Peter Jacksoned it.

[@blah55044]

+simpulator The fuck bro? 2nd chapter is better than the first, thats not a controversial opinion either, the movies great and almost everyone agrees

[@goodlife7138]

1 was better as there was a great surprise element to it. Also, it had a more emotional impact on the audience due to the motivation behind.

[@Ltp1305]

27:45 "When in doubt, put William Defoe on a rooftop" Fking best XD

[@PsychicGirl]

Recently I learned that these guys directed a lot of the action scenes in Winter Soldier. This makes so much sense because Winter Soldier was the first movie that made me believe that Captain America could actually kick ass. These two dudes have an amazing eye for action scenes!

[@chris6054]

Theyre both stunt doubles, Chad, the right, was even Keanus double in the Matrix! They definitely understand how it should look

Nah, First Avenger already made him badass

[@daniell5740]

@ no lol

[@dall1786]

Yup. I still contend that elevator fight scene is one of the best and absolutely coolest fight scenes in a movie ever.

[@angiem577]

Their action design company 87Eleven trains all the Marvel guys, so there's that additional element too.

[@BanditMan105]

"So there's always been the idea of a franchise" "No, it was always about the world" Love these guys, this is what filmmaking should be about

FYI - you're missing a great interview with two talented artists about how they developed the franchise, how action movies work behind-the-scenes, and some great insight into how the John Wick movies were made. Some people came here, I'm sure, to see what they had to say. You're welcome. - @murrelldan

[@andrewvasquez7490]

stop reading the comments dan!

[@MrRaposaum]

The directors were very honest, as opposed to a what a lot of other directors would do: they'd be trying to maintain appearances and get too defensive. Honest answers to the "honest trailers" makers, I liked it.

[@ImThe5thKing]

Same with the Deadpool director. I remember he was like "Yeah the villain plot sucked. The actor was awesome, but we could've wrote his plot better."

[@dylanleff373]

Yeah and like obviously there are a lot of things in honest trailers that are just jokes or wrong

[@californiacurt]

"Don't stop making films." My sentiment exactly. These guys are awesome. Great interview!

[@thetacticalexperience]

wow, they actually have working answers for their questions

[@canertwo]

would love to see michael bay do this LOL

[@scottwpilgrim]

I'm disappointed they didn't answer the point break question. 9/10 only because of that.

[@MarcelEnglmaier_1]

Hey Screenjunkies, I wanted to clarify that one point about Keanu holding the gun weird and doing that "press" move. It's an actual tactical thing called CAR(Center Axis Relock). It's designed to keep the gun close and under control in tight maneuvering spaces. it's pretty sweet, give it a google.

[@Darkclaw00700]

Saurutobi Glad you mentioned CAR! Some people in the audience were saying how he held the gun like a gangster.... I'm sure Mr. Castle would be pissed if he heard that

[@CalToxReaper]

holding the weapon and a 20-22 degree angle helps with recoil control and easyer on the rist.

[@abwrootbeer]

CalToxReaper that said John wick has to be deaf at this point...

[@MarcelEnglmaier_1]

That's the one thing in action movies I wish would be portrayed correctly for once. I shoot guns often. They are insanely loud, even the ones that shoot tiny bullets.

[@DJTinyTim13]

In the Bengazi movie (forgot the name right now), one guy sets up a machine gun next to another, and the dude asks if it's loud. Then he bitches that he didn't bring his ear plugs and wads paper into his ear. It's based on real events, but I still thought it was cool that they chose to leave something accurate in the film.

[@OpenMind3000]

Okay so the one issue I had was the gold coins not being consistent but I love his reasoning that they're more like business cards. It's so much cooler.

[@NexApex]

Hi , are you still alive ?

[@scottwpilgrim]

It doesn't have to be consistent. It's like debit cards. The value of the card itself is insignificant, it's the amount the bank stores. Here, you earn coins for the jobs you do so you can spend them on the Continental and it's associations. The coins are clean circulation of the dirty money that's being moved from hidden bank account to hidden bank account. You can lose a continental coin, but you will never lose the money behind it.

I love that the only way to explain john wick to people is "they killed his dog so he kills them all". But its extremely clear that when john lost his wife he was barely holding on to his will to live, so when they kill the last remaining thing in his life that he cared about - the dog that his wife specifically got him so that he would have at least one emotional connection left in this world and one thing that would depend on him - he is now in a state of mind where he doesn't care about his own life anymore, and hes tired of the things he loves being taken from him and being powerless. By killing the person responsible, and taking back his car (even if its worthless and completely trashed) he is able to regain the feeling of being in control of his life.

[@wihtdeva1320]

The 'sideways-pistol thing' is called Central Axis Relock

[@thegrayyernaut]

They meant the way Wick flicks his pistol sometimes while he was assuming the Central Axis Relock. The directors said they want it to feel kinetic so it was a design decision to make him sometimes flick his pistol sideways like that.

[@scottwpilgrim]

@@thegrayyernaut The directors may have chosen it, but it's an actual tactical technique that allows you to center your firearm faster, this increasing your accuracy and kills per round. Look up Taran Tactical on KZbin to see it in action.

You really think a director would be willing to do that? lol.

[@pchiare]

And thats why its such a great movie: made by people who love their craft, like working with each other and know what they want, never reaching for more than their vision because theres no studio pressure to be "bigger". I LOVE how they turned all their limitations into strengths of the movie. True artists devoted to their art.

One issue I have is the directors didnt know that Keanu's pistol techniques are not just to look good and is indeed a real tactical system for gun fighting.

[@aniruddhom]

Yeah, Center Axis Relock. It's been driving me nuts that they don't know that/didn't say it.

[@joonatuominen7844]

@mother earth have you not seen the video of him training for john wick 2

[@sreevidya7299]

How is that an issue??? I don't see the issue...

[@cristian-si1gb]

Watch the video from the beginning, it's worth listening to what the director has to say. If you're an impatient brat just don't watch the video.

[@blablatarantino4718]

cristi1990an Your profile pic fits your comment perfectly

[@iwillheadlockyournan731]

cristi1990an your pic

[@wowomg1980]

I found it interesting he doubled for Keanu in the Matrix

[@jacobaarum]

It's interesting, especially when you want to be a director

[@iwillheadlockyournan731]

cristi1990an stupid post with even more stupider people biting

[@bozitojugg3rn4ut]

Holding the gun like John Wick does is a real thing. It is called Center Axis Relock. The same shooting technique can be seen in the video game Splinter Cell Blacklist.

[@kylekohler3963]

100% nailed it

[@CrazyGoat991]

I keep waiting for a John Wick: Chapter II honest trailer before number three out. But nothing .... =(

[@PrinceMandal]

Please bring Chad Stahelski back for John Wick: Chapter 2 - Honest Trailer, and it would be great if you can bring Keanu Reeves.

[@jjpesek87]

I love it when directors/actors come in and have fun with Honest Trailers

[@Ticklish_stache]

I'd love to see Zack Snyder's reaction to 'BvS honest trailer'

[@jonahjameson1866]

Salah Al-Bloushi halfway through the trailer I made it for the fans.

[@qkspyder6842]

Salah Al-Bloushi tbh the basement Batman fight scene was the best fight scene from all Batman movies

[@greens294]

That would be brutal

[@esmeme69]

Salah Al-Bloushi he would get mad hes kinda a dick

[@footballgeneral1026]

Let's face it he'd cry

[@Fools_Requiem]

I feel like if they tried to make a movie around the "Impossible task" it would be underwhelming. It's better if we don't know what the "impossible task" involved, because nothing could possibly exceed the expectations that comes from someone accomplishing something that is supposedly "impossible".

[@JohnReedy07163]

Oh how so wrong you turned out to be.

[@haris9649]

John Reedy a When did John wick even do the impossible task? Did you not understand him?

[@JohnReedy07163]

@@haris9649 No you didn't understand him. The impossible task was the entire building blocks of the second movie, the expansion of the John Wick Universe and the set up of the 3rd movie. No we did not visually see the impossible task but we do know what it was, who helped him with it and the consequences that John went through because of it. My point still stands.

[@haris9649]

John Reedy You still don’t get it. The impossible task he meant was the one Vigo said. He said that he did an impossible task that no man can do and finished it. The op says that it would be less interesting if we know the impossible task. So there need not be a movie on it.Get it right!!!

[@Tovek]

Man those two guys are awesome.

[@xF3arl]

How JW2 is making less money than Shades of Grey 2 is beyond me. Two, truly passionate people about their world and their fans and their actors, not just looking to make a quick nickel. It's a real shame it isn't getting more recognition.

[@shritansrivatsavai3312]

Fearl yeah it hurts

[@iz723]

sex sells more than talent

[@marshallalam889]

Fearl sex sells better sadly...

[@infinitygauntlet101]

Just like hoes and prosties ... sex is much more important to them than the actual character and talent ..

[@ctsteelers97]

Yeah it suck but look at it this way. John Wick 2 made more that double what the first one did. And Fifty Shades Darker only made a little more than half of what the first one did

[@JazzyNym]

I call them "man fight"s when they fight like that at the end, because for some reason men always feel the need to drop their weapons and fist fight. I honestly don't mind them, especially if they're done well, I just always found it amusing that at the end of films they were like 'we must let fists decide this!' So I'd sit back in my seat and think to myself, 'man fight time!'

[@RichBrown_SheepdogAlpha]

A lot more insight than I expected. More of these please.

[@johnme60]

22:20 tilting the gun sideways was not only for showing him badass or aggressive . It is a habit of checking "gun safety state" usually soldiers have . I'm sure tactical team taught this to keanu in his training session .

[@apolloaero]

Those directors are really cool and chill.

[@jaahstarx]

39 minutes... *GRABS POPCORN*

[@kenedwards849]

exactly

[@notbahhhdgoodsize5793]

Ken Edwards more like turns video off

[@ijaxhen5277]

I think they should give the directors the pause button!

[@gokul922]

They actually put an uber assassin in chapter 3 😍🤩

[@danieldunlap4077]

I think it's great that they were able to laugh at the stuff they knowingly put in that was cliched.

[@darrennewton4404]

I think it is fun to hear like "big" people talk about how much they watch or are fans of KZbin channels it makes me so happy that KZbin is getting some of the well deserved attention

[@iz723]

Pfft, I bet even the Queen uses KZbin

[@Xanatissimo]

Awesome!!!! Love the honesty and the good vibes in that room. You really feel Chad and Dave are saying things on the spot, not the often already "grab & go" answers that you get from actors and directors that are always asked the same questions over and over. The light and honest vibe is really what creates value to this vid. My first Screen Junkies vid, definitely not my last, binge watchnig those honest trailers now. Great job fellas!

[@miam4639]

This was soo much fun listening to! Thanks guys for getting film people talking straight about their craft with humour and, well, honesty!!!

[@redfeenix]

Thanks so much. These director interviews are really showing the behind the scenes of the movie. Great work guys!

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Fuck yes, Speed Racer. What a damn good movie it was. The only reason it bombed was that it was 100% marketed to kids, even though the story was literally industrial espionage.

[@wolverine8105]

smokebomb.exe execs are very stupid. its a live action anime movie. by reasoning it should've been aimed at teens & older. just because its colorful doesn't its for kids..

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Exactly! Look at what Pixar is doing... they literally have toys as main characters and adults absolutely love their movies! I'm never ashamed to tell people Speed Racer is one of my favorite movies of all time

[@wolverine8105]

smokebomb.exe I love Pixar, especially The Incredibles, Toy Story, & Monsters INC. I agree with with what you said. Sometimes execs don't understand a the tone of certain films. Just look at how it took Deadpool to get made. The reason it took so long is the studio execs didn't think people would go see a rated r superhero film when they already had exampled like Watchmen & Kickass.

[@SNSWoTClan]

This is BY FAR my favorite Honest Reactions video. You get such amazing insights to the making of the movie.

[@bradwalsh9227]

These creative guys are so damn underrated. These two movies have pretty much saved action movies for me.

[@forentertainment3259]

Everyone else: Trailer Hal: Traeler

[@virginiar7692]

He also says Elle-yens instead of Alien

[@AlexLove631]

Yes I love these! John Wick is one of the best action movies ever made and the sequel is no different. Please keep doing these with other filmmakers

[@toillenesredla3751]

These guys are so humble of how great the movie was, they even went to "Honest Trailer" their own creation. This is my favorite episode of Honest Reaction so far. By the way, they didn't talk about that John Wick killed dude's in a bar with a FUCKING PENCIL!

[@adamant4107]

This video is way more entertaining than I thought it would be. I hope you do more of these.

[@Meme033094]

when marvel does a Black widow movie have these guys direct it!

[@TheNativeEngine]

YES!

[@Hashbrown1682]

Please don't. Don't give me hope.

[@Hashbrown1682]

Please don't. Don't give that hope.

[@wafflelord1558]

Hoshang Raj they made a black widow movie

[@antokun52686]

These kinds of videos are awesome. Love getting into the heads of directors whenever possible.

[@DangerLevel10]

John Wick is the only thing going for Hollywood right now. It's 2 for 2 in my book, and as pumped as I was at the end of part 2; the third movie will be the best yet.

[@HoneyDog]

I thought it was pretty good, probably my second favorite. What about you?

[@kunalmadan]

RIP Michael Nyqvist :-(

[@trinidadbotello9906]

I hope John Wick 3 happens.

[@shritansrivatsavai3312]

Trinidad Botello it will..the second film waa entirely a set up

[@jessicapulley4663]

Trinidad Botello from what I hear, there will be a 3 and a prequel which dives into the impossible task. So 4 movies would be amazing!

[@marshallalam889]

Jessica Pulley gotta loves the impossible task

[@I3urton]

I _soooooo_ wished for a prequel displaying the impossible task! Really hope they'll pull through with it. Four movies will suffice though. I wouldn't want this to become another Fast & Furious-Fuckfest. The original trilogy goes super nice so far and I'm excited for the final chapter, but after that (and the prequel, heh) I really hope they'll put it to bed and don't try to milk it just because it goes well. But after seeing this interview and kinda getting a grasp on their characters, I highly doubt they'd exploit this passion for mere money, so that's good. They'll just come up with something else.

[@Yvaelle]

John Wick 3: Ragnaglock - John Wick kills the world

[@donnathelightningbug]

Hey, studio PR and marketing executives: this youtube clip is wanting to make me watch John Wick 2. Take note.

[@jamesnieves1216]

These guys took the suggestion of assassin uber quite seriously. Now John Wick 3 has a taxi driver who's a part of the assassin world. Awesome!

[@pantherofcarantania]

If you noticed, the taxi was an old car model and not a new one, like usually are in New York, so John Wick knew that the driver is a part of "their world". I love director's care for details in John Wick trilogy (can't wait for John Wick 4), like bullet counting, reloading,...

[@lewst]

wow really cool interview! was expecting a reaction vid and got a lesson on shooting action instead!

[@julianbeek]

Did you make Hal Rudnick stand outside the building the entire time?

[@RegulatorJoe]

I love this I hope more directors to this

[@ledagocheva1821]

that was an incredibly fun interview, what cool guys these two are. and it was so interesting to hear about all these aspects of the second units work, not something you get to hear about often. i hope more filmmakers start being game for these type of HT-watchthroughs. it's pretty great.

[@AstenRegisTheFlipside]

2 directors in Hollywood right now who know how to shoot martial arts action!
