John wick threw him at the book

[@dkgaming531]

Well, you can see Ernest ( I believe its the guys name) holding the book for Wick to finish him. What a gentleman he is 🥹😍

[@anthonytajonar9488]

I didn't even peep that, very astute observation.

[@j.jmilan551]

In a short moment of clarity, Ernest knew he broke the rules and even if he managed to survive this encounter with John Wick. He knew the High Table would come after him for breaking the rules of engagement. So he might as well let John kill him first.

[@UnsaidHealer]

was looking for someone else who saw that

[@benjaminc.3851]

Saw that when I first watched the movie and when it happened it kinda took me out of the moment.

[@bethanydavis9023]

[@ScenicFights]

An eraser

[@cjec21]

a desk, he's going for the full set (pencil, book and desk)

[@flexchan]

@@cjec21 I say a bottle of ink he gets in his opponents eyes.

[@KePzez]

Just watched the movie, perhaps the best improvised bulsshits he pulled off is the Nunchucks and a pistol, remember those armored bastards in the 3rd film, the entire sequence with them is literally just John giving them a bad case of head trauma and basically dazing them so bad, that everytime they tried to get up John will be there to give them another dose before finishing them off, one guy got hit in the head by a well placed pistol shot, knocking him down, and when he tried to get backs up John gave him another bullet induced concussion, while he beat the shit out of another guy with Nunchucks.

[@MithridatesEupator412]

​@@KePzez John Wick 4 was a great movie

[@upalhasan]

This is why “Education is the most powerful Weapon”

[@theGprojectHub]

Boban is holding the book, helping John Wick to break his neck, focus on the book when John Wick is going to break his neck and see Boban's hand holding the book to stand.

[@sullivandmitry1416]

Well that can also be chalked up to him being disoriented and in pain, and he’s not holding the book but trying to reach for it with his last pits of strength. He attempts to get the book but is too weak to do so and dies.

[@maxm.m.7219]

​@@sullivandmitry1416 Someone else argued that he had a moment of clarity, and realised he broke the rules, meaning even if he managed to still get the upper hand and kill John, he knew The High Table would come for him, so he might as well let John kill him.

He's John Wick. Physics doesn't apply to him. I think he got ran over by a car about 5-7 times and got up like it was nothing.

[@ItApproaches]

Stuntmen do that and are fine. You can learn to get hit by a car up to a certain speed and walk it off.

[@KZoroG]

Somebody please get this man a book😂

[@kavitagangurde832]

Book is powerful for mentally and physically

[@yoshigottagun]

I think thats part of what makes john wick so good. The movies always barely cross the line of plausibility. If you look at scenes in retrospect you can see how things can be unrealistic, but in the moment, it all seems so real and badass.

[@ScenicFights]

💯
