JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 (2017) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@2mon249]

There is one aspect about the John Wick movies that makes them iconic for me. Keanu Reeves actually trains and practices with his firearms in the exact same manner that is portrayed in these movies. This is not just acting. This is skill. Honed skill

[@mrantdagreat]

Just as he did with the Matrix 💯💯💯

[@gdhaney136]

That, and he does almost all his own stunts. He's just super talented.

[@catenystrom6506]

NO doubt, I'm convinced Keanu Reeves could kick some ASS if here weren't such a gentle soul in real life, lol

[@Redd_Fawkes]

Was sad that Chow Yun Fat never made it into this franchise. The Gun Fu would've been outstanding.

[@ymb7873]

he trained the martial arts the same way. His judo and jiu jitsu skills are good!

[@marklynn3953]

Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, don’t spit into the wind, don’t pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger and just leave John Wick alone.

[@patbrewer4205]

Ands never touch his dog

[@Plastikdoom]

Most importantly don’t new with the USMC/don’t pet a burning dog/ let a sleeping dog lie.

[@Sparkle_Ninja]

[@patbrewer4205]

Charon, The Maitre D passed away this year he will be missed, RIP Lance Riddick

[@bigmixx75]

John Wick teaches us simple lessons 1. Don't steal other people's property 2. Be kind to people and animals 3. Be mindful of the rules 4. It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword, but also watch out for pencils

[@sparkshark789]

Here's another lesson, never exploit the rules for the sake of p*ssing someone off (unless this is covered in lessons 2 and 3).

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Jay, good call on Charon (the Concierge) being a "gatekeeper". In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman who guided the souls of the departed across the river Styx into Hades (the Underworld). As the Concierge of the Continental, Charon serves to "ferry" the guests from the outside world to the "underworld" of the Continental.

[@sarahj6271]

I love the fact that he does 99% of his own stunts.

[@sarahj6271]

It shows you how far he's come since Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Also you know he's a sincere man. He is so humble and kind to everyone that you wouldn't think there's a movie star he treats everybody

[@walterrutherford8321]

I love time travel movies so Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is my guilty pleasure movie.

[@sarahj6271]

I agree. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is one of my favorite movies. Great comedy plus George Carlin personally I don't think you can lose with that.

[@miketracy1064]

Can you believe that Keanu Reeves will be 60? And still moves like this!

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Okay guys. Not going to ruin anything for you, but...... Do not wait too long to watch chapter 3. Also remember where this one left off. Enjoy!!!

I agree, if you honor the John wick franchise you must include Bourne and equalizer movies too cause equalizer movies are cool too!

[@scottvanhille5688]

Totally agree, wish more reactors would react to Jason Bourne films.

Peter Stormare is a great character actor . His brief role as Abram Tarasov was superb

He's spectacular as Lucifer in "Constantine ", but yes he's great in everything he's in

[@williamgreco3046]

Loved him in 8mm and Big Lebowski.

[@Divamarja_CA]

He’s great in the movie “Fargo” too! It’s funky that he and the actor who played his brother in the 1st John Wick, Michael Nyqvist, are both Swedish!

[@deathproofpony]

Smartest guy in the movie. When John Wick offers you peace, you take it.

[@patrickdowdle5121]

@@Tony-B23 Loved his character of Lev Andropov in Armageddón

[@agentsculder2451]

An important thing to note is how hard it is to film scenes with that many mirrors. It has to be carefully done and planned because there is a huge risk of the cameras and their operators showing up in reflections. The cinematographer did an amazing job on that fight scene.

[@LowcountryJoe2]

Rest in Peace Lance Reddick

[@patrickdowdle5121]

To quote a famous watch ad . John Wick takes a licking and he keeps on ticking

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

His ability to take damage is somewhere between Ash Williams (Evil Dead franchise) and Wolverine. Maybe even Deadpool. 😂

[@craigparker9744]

The Last Boy Scout and True Lies are fun action movies. Hopefully, you will give them a chance one day. Love John Wick franchise.

[@raramonty5217]

Wow I can't believe they haven't watched True Lies yet... a must see for sure

[@lpnkorn15]

The Last Boy Scout is so underrated. True Lies is a 10/10 for me, great action movie!

[@craigparker9744]

@lpnkorn15 agreed. So funny and believable action on The Last Boy Scout.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

I love the John Wick movies, each one is better than the last which is a rare phenomenon. You'll love 'Kingsman' I would love to see you react to that movie.

[@alissageorge5679]

The bad guy in this is the bad guy on Fargo that doesn’t speak. He also plays the devil in Constantine (which you guys need to watch this spooky season) - which also has Keanu Reeves as well. You’ll like it.

[@joaoluizfonseca6914]

OMG him as Lucifer is the coolest thing 😂😂

You mean Peter Stormare, who's in the movie for less than 10 minutes?

The film takes place one week after the events of the first film.

Lets Go!!! Been waiting for you guys to continue the John Wick franchise. Glad you guys are enjoying yourselves with these movies and I hope there isn't too much of a delay between the rest of the movies. Anyways hope you guys have a good one, love, peace and chicken grease ❤

[@mehavecable]

You guys did notice Laurence Fishburne from the Matrix, but you didn't realize Keanu was also in it, and that scene was the first time both actors are meeting face to facec since the Matrix. Very cool.

[@deshaunx776]

In their reaction to the first John Wick, Jay & Amber mentioned Keanu playing Neo several times. In fact, Jay explains which of the 2 characters he prefers. 🫠

[@js6729]

The shotgun John Wick used in the catacomb scene is a Benelli M4 semi-auto 12 gauge tactical shotgun, which is a favorite of many military and law enforcement branches as well as a great firearm for home defense. They hold 2 more shells than traditional pump action shotguns and it's one of the most reliable firearms ever made

[@kingscorpion7346]

"John, what the hell man, I thought you loved this car! ... and I don't know if you noticed, but you have a crack in your windshield."

John wick is AWESOME !

[@agneskurzaj]

Because my man is also Canadian; He was inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame in 2021, with his fellow Canadian from the "Matrix Franchise" Carrie Ann Moss" (Trinity). He was also a really good goalie in Canada, and dreamed of playing for the Canadian National Team. You want to see him in a great romantic role, check out"My Sweet November", or "The Boathouse ". Another good fast paced classic is "Point Break ". Canadian Grandma. Lori. C.

[@TerraQuestRC]

Another movie to get a vote in for, which you two should like as well and has an somewhat secret society hint, "Nobody" Halloween just around the corner, might be time to get started on the Underworld series too. Love you guys

[@19_meg_91]

Yes to Underworld

[@bowhuntr6825]

Big yes to the Underworld series

[@andrewmccormack4295]

"Nobody" is another great movie.

[@SuperSailorOutlawGeorgeIshaq]

The John Wick franchise is fantastic 😀

[@JimFinley11]

Technical note: the shotgun John Wick used in the catacombs is a Benelli semi-automatic 12-gauge. That exact shotgun is used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Most of a team will have rifles, but for urban fights they may have one or two people with shotguns, as well as having one with a larger-caliber longer-range rifle with a better scope on it, as well as having a sniper team up high somewhere nearby watching over them and their route. There are YT videos of Keanu Reeves training for this role, both in shooting and in martial arts. He works extremely hard at it, and he actually is as good a shot as John Wick is. He also does almost all his own stunts. Now add the fact that he's 59 years old. He's amazing. And in person, he's always doing something good for someone - there's a subway security camera video of him on a train, with nobody noticing who he was, standing up to give his seat to a woman who needed to sit down; he wanted to thank the stunt men after the first John Wick movie, so he bought them all Harley-Davidsons. He gives a tremendous amount to a whole range of charities, and for a while he put his career on hold to take care of his sister when she was sick with leukemia (she recovered.) He not only took care of her, he paid for research on the disease. He's the kind of guy I think most of us who have daughters would love to see our young women bring home to meet us.

[@besupaaa]

The woman with striking features is Ruby Rose. She pops up here and there in lots of movies!

[@bidwell13]

46:10 it’s funny you call him a gatekeeper cause of what his name is in this series. His name is Charon who’s a gatekeeper & ferryman for Hades. I seriously think that either Winston had unofficially adopted John as a son or he is John’s father but doesn’t tell him.

[@ericsteffen5619]

Common is actually a pretty good actor. He had a major role in the HBO series "Hell on Wheels" about the building of the first intercontinental railroad to connect the east to the west. And in the tunnels what John is doing is called 3 gun. There are tournaments where the shooter has to show skill in all phases handgun, rifle and shotgun against inanimate targets obviously. But it's all about accuracy and speed. There are youtube videos of Keanu Reeves running 3 gun courses with live ammo and the man is pretty damn good in real life too.

[@robert3345erickson]

Keanu trained so much with his gun that he developed a new technique for a faster reload that the person that was training him how to use the weapons is now teaching it to all his students as well as sharing the technique with gun experts and they are all amazing at how much more effective it is than what they knew before. You can see the technique being used in movies 2,3 and 4

[@th3R0b0t]

I'm going to assume you're talking about the "mag flip" and with just a little bit of looking online, that's absolutely false... It is definitely something that was, most likely, shown to Keanu at Taran Tactical, and given what a recent JRE interview with Chad Stahelski, Keanu probably did it a few times on set and it was enjoyed by everyone... Not something invented by Keanu, as there are many videos that pre-date Keanus training for the John Wick series that demonstrate the idea. As an example, it's even been meme'd; You can look up "Dynamic Pie Concepts - Art of the Mag Flip" for a parody video that makes fun of the idea of the magflip, since for a little while there, it was "buzzworthy" type training lesson, that a lot of people found funny.

[@agneskurzaj]

Ian McShane who plays Winston is one of my favorite actors of all time. His debut was 1962 in a movie that he got the part for because he skipped out of his classes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts to audition. He was on his way. He has played villains exceptionally well. One of the most infamous villains he played was in the Franco Zeffirelli mini series "Jesus of Nazareth" 1980. He played "Judas". He has always played crafty, intelligent, charismatic, mystical characters. Yes, he was able to even pull off "Black Beard" The pirate, in one of Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Carribean" movies. The point is; Is that this man has been performing great roles for 60 years, and has one of the most identifiable voices in the business. Check out his catalog of work. One of the greatest who worked with many of the greats in the Cinematic Arts. Canadian Grandma Lori.C.

[@karicastanza5216]

I love all the scenes with Common and John Wick! And, of course, the pencil scene. You'll love the 3rd John Wick, which brings in Halle Berry and some very well trained dogs.

[@CollideFan1]

The Bowery (Lawrence Fishbourne's faction) is the underworld of the underworld. There are all sorts of different factions out there but they all answer to the High Table. The lore of the John Wick movies is so interesting.

[@drochino]

It keeps getting better with each movie. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the next one.

[@deathproofpony]

The sommelier (Peter Serafinowicz) is one of my all-time favorite characters. Great actor, too - amazing voice.

Rip to the concierge he passed away he's the one that watched John Wicks dog at the desk

[@aarongoldstein7614]

The final scene took place at Bethesda Fountain in New York’s Central Park. Ms. Perkins was excommunicated there in the first Wick movie.

[@GNXXRAY]

The man at the hotel check in is Lance Reddick was a very good actor. Sadly he recently passed away this past winter. He was only 60 years old. He is totally awesome in JohnWickIII.

[@mathewnavarro1152]

The John Wick films, they just continue to out-do each and every previous sequel in the franchise. These movies are such a damn good time and absolutely outrageous in how they continue to raise the bar.

[@spydude38]

[@brentcox7772]

Cool movie! Try “Fools Rush In” as a Rom Com! Cool soundtrack too!🤘🔥

[@simonatkinson1107]

There are now 4 John Wick movies and they all flow through as one story. There’s some clever one liners and brilliant fight scenes in all of them.

[@tommygilbreath]

Love your reactions to the Wick movies! The most amazing thing they add for me is the fact that John actually reloads his guns and they count the bullets accurately during his fights. In every other action movie the protagonist gets to have unlimited bullets in his gun. So unrealistic :(

[@No_Transitory]

The organization is called "The High Table" and all the assassins serve for the table. Edit: they are in Rome in the underground tunnel scene. You can visit the Coliseum even today. Not sure if they allow you underground though.

[@stevehamilton8824]

This whole series is excellent. Still need to check out the movie POINT BREAK with Keanu and Patrick Swayze. Excellent surfer movie with a twist.

[@shelbyatwell5883]

Agreed. I love Point Break. Also Speed.

[@catmanduu66]

Another movie you should check out is Nobody. It's kind of a grittier version of John Wick. A man with a past and an unstoppable killing machine. There is another that just came out, still in theaters, The Retirement Plan. Take both the other movies and make that guy a senior citizen protecting his grand daughter. All of them the action is so incredible.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The Russian mob boss in the beginning you may remember from ARMEGGEDON, he was the cosmonaut on the space station.

[@Bozbaby103]

Lawrence Fishburne. Yes, he’s Morpheus in the Matrix trilogy, but he’s also well-known for Ike Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It (Tina Turner biopic) and Cuba Gooding Jr’s dad in Boyz in the Hood. Love him as an actor. Lots of great performances from him. Side note before I get yelled at, yes, he was also in Captain Kangaroo waaay back when.

[@ericsinger2692]

The mirror scene is an homage to "Enter the Dragon"

[@JGComments]

I like that John chose to leave the knife in Common's heart because he was only trying to kill him because it's his job and he is honorable, but he chooses to pull it out of Ruby Rose's heart because she is dishonorable.

[@cainsolo1]

@25:28 That is the Benelli M4, retails for about $1800 with a standard stock and no slip grip. The first rule of assassination... kill the assassin.

[@dontresca8009]

One of the best features of these films is the incredible world-building. The whole underground network of assassins and criminal enterprises is just outstandingly developed and so intricate.

[@l.piloto7964]

The shotgun is a Benelli M4 using 12-gauge solid steel slugs (armor piercing). The rifle before that was an modified AR variant with steel receiver instead of aluminum for less chance of failure in high fire combat situations, chambered in 7.62.

Greetings Jay and Amber At the beginning of the film, the 'uncle' is played by Peter Stormare. He is known for films such as " Fargo", "Awakenings", "Lost World: Jurassic Park", "Armageddon", "The Big Lebowski", "8MM", "Chocolat", "The Million Dollar Hotel", "Minority Report", "Bad Boys II", "Nacho Libre", and "Constantine", also with Keanu Reeves. Without giving spoilers, there are 4 films so far and a 5th is planned for next year. The 'deaf assassin' hitwoman is played by Ruby Rose. She is Australian. Her career began as a model and tv presenter / co-host. She was on Australian's Next Top Model, MTV Australia, and The Project. Started acting around the middle of 2008. She can be seen in "Pitch Perfect 3", "XXX: the Return of Xander Cage", "1Up", 'The Meg', "Vanquish", and "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter". She was also in the tv WB series "Batwoman" and Netflix "Orange is the New Black". 'Morpheus' and "Bowery King' are played by Laurance Fishburn. A great talented Black Actor!!

[@rogerhall5757]

The older man running the Roman version of The Continental was played by Franco Nero. He has been making awesome movies for many, many years. Now, since you all have finally discovered some older films, as a senior-type movie buff- I think you guys would love the 1938 Errol Flynn action classic "The Adventures Of Robin Hood". It's fantastic, and it's in color!

Color was still rare in major films at that time. But you will see why Errol Flynn was a major star of the 30's and 40's.

[@Ireneharnack1138]

Keanu trained for months before "John Wick" went into production, sometimes for 8-10 hours learning his gun-fu to perfection, stunt training, karate, judo, gun training, fire arm training, target practice , sometimes 7 days a week, I believe he started some training and the required diet a year before. Things to know, John Wick's wife had a brain tumor and fell into a coma. Also, John's Wife was a photographer. Usually John only shoots the bad people. Most anyone who recognizes John Wick and John allows them to live, they tend to be good friends of his. The car John is driving at the begining of John Wick chapter 2, was the car Aurelio lent him when Josef (the dumb-ass kid who stole his car) was run out of Aurelio's Chop Shop. The dog John liberated and kept at the end of "John Wick" was about to be put to sleep so John took it. Winston (The main manager of the New York Continental Hotel) is much like "John Wick"'s friend Marcus. Just wait till Chapter 4, it has Donnie Yen in it. I just love Donnie Yen.
