Having lost my wife to cancer, you can well imagine how the opening of this 'action' movie tears me apart every time I see it. And I also think that someone involved in writing this has lost someone dear to them, as that scene where John is driving his car *at* the trucks rings very true from my own experience.

[@billballhorn3129]

To put a bright spot onto puppy dogs, the Pit Bull that John took in the end had a clipboard on the kennel with paperwork that said 'To Be Put Down'. So John rescued his new dog from euthanasia.

[@danielschaeffer1294]

And note that the dog was a full-grown pit bull. Pits are better at defending themselves than beagle pups.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

That sniper shot into the pillow next to his head was to alert him of nearby danger. You can see his skill with the longer range shots in both of the warehouse taking out the body guards holding him or the people protecting the son, not missing a single time. He was John's friend and gave his life up knowing the other crowd would be out to get even with him too, and they did.

[@baeleth]

@@Caseytify also, the Continental is neutral, safe ground. Shoot a pillow as a warning, they're probably gonna let that slide. Kill someone who is on Continental property, even if they're breaking the rules, and you lose your membership and all protections that brings. John would have probably been okay if he'd killed Miss Perkins in self defense, though.

[@danh8804]

The thing about Officer Jimmy is that... it really uncomplicates life to just leave John alone. I don't know if it's meant to be just him or the whole department, but Jimmy clearly knows John well enough to realize he *couldn't* arrest him even if he wanted to.

[@TrackMaster844]

Yeah, folks from John’s world tend to handle their business and leave the general public out of it. Plus, to quote cinemawins, when the dragon’s lighting fires in his cave, best to leave it alone. Just be glad he’s not setting fires in the village!

[@znk0r]

Also...it's a different world with different rules than ours.

[@craid23]

I always assumed Jimmy is either on the payroll of John, or the Continetal... or both. For John it would make sense to have some cops from the area he lives in on his payroll in case "something" happens, after all, he was a retired hitman with a long tail of "potential" enemies. For the Continental it would make also sense, they surely would want to keep an eye on one of the best hitman, so that when "something" happens and said hitman comes out of retirement, they can provide the best possible "services"... one way or the other.

[@baldawen]

@@craid23 While it would make sense I honestly really doubt that John Wick had anyone on payroll. From how the interaction went it seemed that Jimmy was just "in the know" (but yeah, probably a dirty cop on the organisations payroll). Which isn't really surprising since apparently almost everyone who has any power is "in the know" from how all the other movies went.

[@craid23]

@@baldawen Mh, I wonder how anyone in that world could be "just" in the know without being paid to stay silent? Besides that, being on someones payroll doesn't necessarily require an exchange of money, it can also be an exchange of someones life, at least in my opinion. Think of the bouncer scene. John and the bouncer clearly have a silent agreement like: "Keep your mouth shut, play along and I let you go home so that you can enjoy dinner with your family and loved ones." Its the same deal, just with a different currency.

[@nathanmills5311]

In some high end military units, a "dead check" is two to the heart, one to the head. The speed and accuracy of John Wick is just amazing. Keanu really brought John to life in all the action scenes.

[@joeldykman7591]

A nice detail that often gets unnocticed is when Viggo confronts his son after learning about what he has done to John, he pours both of them a glass of vodka, he never actually drinks from that glass, instead he pours a separate drink after hitting Iosef. Why? Well, the meaning of sharing a drink with someone is that are good company at that time. He pours a second drink deliberately because he wants Iosef to know how low in regard he considers him at that moment, that he wont even share a drink with his own son.

[@Teabagz4fun]

I’d never noticed this and always thought that he poured a different vodka altogether. 😅

[@olfolfington8978]

@@Teabagz4fun Actually, he did! He poured two glasses of "the good Stuff" and doesnt drink it, just to punch it out of Iosef. After that, his new Glass is another brand, i think it was to further the disapproval of Iosefs actions.

@@olfolfington8978 I saw somewhere that it was to also make it burn as it came back up when he threw up.

[@unnamedagent]

also he gives his son a lower shelf vodka before hitting him ....i think both to not waste the "good stuff" and to further point out that by doing what he did he doesn't deserve the better vodka

[@Lexinoz]

Very true. Actually, drinking right after cheering is a sign of good gesture. Placing down your drink inbetween a cheer is a sign of ill gesture. Meaning you "cancel" your good gesture. IIRC it comes from ancient times where one would poison one's own drink and cheers a "target". This would be so as to splash from your own drink into the other's. Then you wouldn't drink yourself.

[@obenohnebohne]

I love how many words are spoken about John and how little words John speaks. I enjoyed this reaction.

@obenohnebohbe Yes I noticed how few lines John has too! Man of action.

[@Cybrludite]

I like how the villains talk about John the way that Dr. Banner talked about Thanos or Quinn in "Jaws" talked about sharks. They sounded like Protagonists describing just how scary the top villain is.

[@er0neus947]

To answer your question - The phrase "in for a penny in for a pound" is a British phrase dating back to at least the 1600's that referred to the insane interest rates associated with debt/loans. It used to mean that if you owed one penny you might as well owe a whole British pound, because that's probably what you'd be paying on that loan. Nowadays its meaning has shifted to more of a "It's gone this far, might as well go all in", or something like that

[@jenmurrayxo]

@Er0neus Oh thanks for that background! That's really interesting! :)

[@JakkFrost1]

@@jenmurrayxo another variation on the phrase with more positive connotations is "anything worth doing is worth doing well".

[@nerdgasam6838]

I'm British and I agree with this! I normally end up saying this when I'm in the middle of doing something I will end up regretting later! :)

[@DJLtravelvids]

Not quite correct. The earliest documented use of the phrase is from the 17th century, Edward Ravenscroft's comic play Canterbury Guests in 1695. The reference the loans is not confirmed but doesn't relate to interest rates but for penalties for non payment. They were the same regardless of amount borrowed - hence if you borrowed penny you may as well borrow a pound .

[@tomdalsin5175]

Consider when you go through changes in life, like moving your home, and it's always more expensive than you planned for. This phrase is very appropriate for those moments... when you're taking out your wallet to pay for that extra cleaning bill, or replacing damaged furniture, or pay the extra storage charge. You're already committed ("in for a penny"), and you're too far to turn back now... your only choice is to keep going and paying for it as you go ("in for a pound")

[@Miroku2235]

The two to the body, one to the head thing is a real world shooting technique. Best known as the Mozambique Drill, also called the Failure To Stop Drill or the Armor Drill. Two rapid shots to the body, and if they don't fall (due to being hopped up on drugs, adrenaline, or wearing a kevlar waistcoat), one to the head. He took some advanced shooting classes as part of th we prep for the role. The cool shotgun is a Kel-Tec KSG. It's a pump action bullpup (the chamber & the moving bits are behind the trigger) shotgun with two magazine tubes under the barrel.

This is a film about a man who worked as a geologist on a distant island. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXfTY6ymmtSdeas A young man came to him on the island to help the main character in his work. The young man hid from the protagonist that in the mainland with the protagonist's family there was a misfortune and the family was hospitalized. The young man hid from the protagonist the story of the serious injury of the protagonist's wife for many days in a row. The wife and son of the protagonist died in the hospital, and because of the young man, the protagonist never said goodbye to his family. This is not the only bad thing a young man has done.

Why does Keanu often talk about forgiveness, but John could not forgive and re-educate a stupid boy whom no one loved? The boy didn't look like a villain, he was just a stupid, ill-bred puppy. John Wick is an experienced wolf! If an adult wolf devours a puppy, then the wolf turns into a dog. Either this dog will be shot because of rabies, or they will wear a muzzle and a leash. The wolf that has devoured the puppy is kicked out of the pack.

2 to the chest, 1 to the head isn't *his* signature. It's how everybody is taught to shoot. Just like not pointing your weapon at anybody you don't want to shoot, or keeping your weapon on safe unless you want to shoot, etc. It's just how you shoot to ensure you do the job properly.

[@iCortex1]

2 shots to the chest and 1 in the head is called a "Mozambique". The history behind it is a bit anecdotal so there's no real way to confirm it but it said to originate from a Rhodesian mercenary named Mike Rousseau who was heavily engaged in the Mozambican war of independence (1964 - 1974).

[@jantukumar]

The tattoo on John Wick's back spells "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat", which means 'Fortune favours the bold', which very much defines his whole character. Also, at 11:05 the dinner reservation for 12 is a secret language for the cleanup crew that there are 12 bodies to be disposed of. Also, sorry again, the scene outside red cricle when John asks Francis in russian about losing weight, he replies in about 60 kgs. It's again a secret code language by which Francis tells him that there are about 60 people inside.😊 The scene where Viggo smokes weed is a representation of a father who mourns his child because he knows that now nobody can save him as 'Babayaga' knows where he is, just like in the russian folklore where the witch, when realises ones location, will sooner or later abduct the child. Also lot of people don't understand or get it but at 18:57 John just shoots Iosef and doesn't tortures him because as much as he wants to he realises this as a professional assassin that what Iosef did was because he didn't knew who he was. So he took his revenge as professionally as he could have. That's not the same case with Viggo in the final fight because by killing Marcus he broke the code and now it was if not personal, but neither professional, to kill him with more aggression.

It is about brothers (who are Catholics I believe who seek retribution and revenge over mob killings.... similar story I think, and there are 2 and maybe 3 movies. 1996-1998 is the original I think). I also think they have this tattoo and maybe a tattoo of a cross on their body, and they quote this phrase or the one that translates to blessing the person in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Latin during parts of the movie. I may be wrong on that, but I haven't watched those movies in 15+ years, and they are rarely on or discussed by reactors because they are obscure and older. What I would suggest to you would be to watch it on your own with your recording setup going and comment on it in more in your free time, and then edit it when you have nothing better to do. I know that is difficult for you being a reactor. Having said that, I'll say that I'd watch your reaction because as far as I know you would be the only person I've seen react to it. There are many parallels to the John Wick movies, but the storyline of vengeance and the way the action sequences are filmed and portrayed are different. I'm willing to bet you could find an old trailer to watch and read an old synopsis without ruining the movies much and then determine if you'd want to do them on KZbin.

A couple fun facts about John Wick: 1.) The tattoos on his back says "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat", which means "fortune favors the bold". This lends credence to a theory that says John was a former US Marine. Fortune favors the bold is the motto of 3rd Battalion - 3rd Marines, which is nicknamed "America's Battalion", out of Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. 2.) John's method of two shots to the body and one shot to the head is a direct reflection to Keanu Reeves' training with Taran Butler from Taran Tactical, who is a world-renowned competitive shooter and weapons instructor for various A-list actors (who include, but are not limited to, Will Smith, Chris Hemsworth, and Halle Berry). This method is known as the Mozambique Drill, as is one of the many basic handgun drills first taught in competitive shooting.

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

let's not leave Tom Cruise off the list. Here ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHa9lpVrobCDoc0 ) you can see both guys get 2 to the torso and one to the head. One is just a little later in the sequence.

[@gabrielangel1923]

actually, it means "fortune favors the brave"; "fortune favors the bold" is audaces fortuna iuvat. the military tend to mess Latin up a bit. take the navy seals motto. "semper fidelis" does mean always faithful, but when they shorten it to "smper fi" they change the meaning, significantly. since "fi" means to denounce or fantasy (as in sci-fi) the closest meaning would be "always lying" or more like "pathological liar"

Good reaction. We all feel the same about the dog. You asked why he seemed to always shoot multiple time and especially 2 to the body and then the head...the LA police department began doing that during the rise of PCP. Two shots to the chest wouldn't slow down someone raging on PCP so they created what is now "2 to the chest, 1 to the head" as it guaranteed to stop someone who seemed impossible to do so. This was later adopted by many including the military. I was in the Marine Corps and I was taught this history lesson.

[@NativePride4051]

It's better to make sure your target is dead instead of moving past and getting shot in the back.

[@Frendh]

In real life there are some freak occurrences when people have survived a bullet to the brain. If you can afford it, use an extra bullet or two to make sure the job is properly done. Then there is the thing with the previously mentioned PCP. Personally the two to the chest would be for me to knock the air out of the target(vest). Bullet to the head to take him out. Except I would not be able to hit a barn door even if my life depended on it.

After watching a few reactions I realized that the puppy getting killed made the movie work. An assassin isn't particularly sympathetic, and him killing a bunch of other people over a stolen car and beating isn't particularly moving. Add in the puppy from the deceased wife, and Wick becomes an avenging angel.

[@hb5209]

Recently found your channel. Favorite reaction by far. Hope to see John Wick 3 soon!

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

That puppy's death affected you strongly, so imagine how it would affect you if it were a present from your recently deceased spouse. That's what pushed John over the edge. This movie is very violent, but it's done so well that it's hard to turn away. The sequels are even more violent, if you can believe it, but still great. Can't wait for the last two (being filmed back to back). The guy who is in charge of the clean up crew that cleans up John's house (Charlie) is played by the same guy that played the antagonist Luther in "The Warriors", David Patrick Kelly. He also played the creepy guy in "Dreamscape", a little heard of eighties sci-fi horror movie.

[@po5283]

Your an absolute sweetheart, was surprised you didn't take a break at the beginning to get some puppy cuddles from your cute ,fuzzy, dust bunny behind you! Have to agree, The Equalizer is a good choice for another great action flick. A couple of others that are great but have flown under the radar a bit, Unleashed with Jet Li and Grosse Pointe Blank with John Cusack. "In for a penny, in for a pound" is a way of expressing your committed to your course of action. Basically it's like saying I've come this far, can't really turn back now. Or that if you choose a particular path, that there's no return, your only way out, is through. You can also think of it in terms of a poker game and going "ALL IN"!

[@jenmurrayxo]

@PO Thank you so much for your kind words! I definitely cuddled my guy (his name is Boston!) so much afterwards, he was really concerned when I was upset!

"in for a penny, in for a pound" basically means no half-measures. Once you start something or have gotten involved in something, seeing it through to the end, regardless of how much more complicated, expensive, or difficult it becomes - especially used when someone might not have seen it ending up like that from the onset. It's a lot of "I've gone this far, I'm going to keep going till the end".

To my mind the best aspect of John Wick is that it inverts the traditional relationship between the protagonist and antagonist. Typically the protagonist is afraid of the antagonist and has to go beyond their former boundaries to overcome them, but in this movie the antagonist Viggo is scared of the protagonist John (once awakened from his normal life with his wife) and throws everything but the kitchen sink at him in an attempt to stop the ‘Buba Yaga’... all to no avail.
