John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum Movie Reaction!

[@Theclericofchaos]

John was wearing a protective suit as shown in the previous movies. None of the shots fired by winston were lethal because he chose not to kill his friend. He just shot blindly and prayed that he'll survive. That's why charon said "Well played sir" at the end. They still homies at the end.

[@TheOriginalRaxin]

And he walks around him to push him towards falling from that spot. Likely where his odds of surviving the fall were best.

[@markjones9416]

Winston also gave John a marker at the end of the second movie, so he can't kill John

[@TheOriginalRaxin]

@@markjones9416 The marker he gave John was the one between John and Santino since it was fulfilled. Just as John gave his to Sophia once it was fulfilled.

[@Missl3o814]

@@TheOriginalRaxin no it wasnt. He specifically said you’ll need this down the road. Wouldn’t have said that for a fulfilled marker.

[@Missl3o814]

He couldn’t guarantee John survival. He just hoped for it. Charon said well played cause he got the hotel back not for shooting john.

[@AndrewJamison79]

Interesting fact the horse fight was Keanu's idea he thought it would be cool to have a fight on a horse while being chased by motor cycle ninjas, the writers were like "that sounds cool lets do it"

[@waterbeauty85]

The scene when Yayan Ruhian (aka Mad Dog) and Cecep Arif Rahman help Johh Wick to his feet originally had John quickly getting back to his feet on his own, but after doing multiple takes of the fight, Keanu Reeves was so exhausted that he couldn't, so the two Indonesian actors helped him up while staying in character as the camera kept rolling. The director liked how that played so much that he kept it in the movie.

[@thattrickytrickster612]

In lore too, it would make sense. John is not only rusty, but did not have time to rest or heal properly either. Cecep and Yayan's characters respect John so much as a fighter, that they're willing to bring him back up for a more fair fight. Love this franchise.

Yea that was the point. Because you are meant to feel exactly what John Wick was feeling. Exhausted after days of fighting and running.

[@waterbeauty85]

I love that when John realized he was running out of time before the start of excommunication, he made sure that the dog would be taken to safety.

[@Iacedrom54]

I think the scene with the doctor (where John shoots him to make it look like he was coerced into helping John) is there to hint at what happens at the end. It establishes that an experienced killer in their profession knows how to shoot someone to make it look like they were attacked but to not actually kill them. Winston is still on his side. That's why he was so sarcastic/blase with the Adjudicator when she talked to him about the missing body. Plus the trailer for JW 4 shows John and Winston speaking cordially together.

[@FenixNade]

also the doctor was "The Keymaker" in Matrix Reloaded"

[@veteranhoffman6776]

0:14 “Parabellum” comes from the Latin phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum” which means “If you want peace, prepare for War”

[@vinzegcs]

Winston chose the lowest patio and was aiming at John's armored suit.

[@waterbeauty85]

The final fight between John and Zero reminds me of what someone (I can't remember his name but I think he was from the 1600s or so) who was famous for his exhaustive writings on sword fighting said. He said that when two fighters were equally matched in their skills with the sword, the winner was usually the one who was the better grappler.

[@AndrewJamison79]

I have a theory that Winston and John talked about the shooting at the end in an effort to make Winston look like he is loyal to the table but the trailers for 4 imply that he is still loyal to John so i guess we will see.

[@unclelink]

There's a theory that Winston's been planning this since John's wife died (probably even was responsible for her getting sick, but I'm not sure about that because they never stated exactly what caused her death).

[@Yazhi009]

Could we get a flashback of this in 4

[@SolidSnake240]

@@unclelink that would be a terrible twist.

[@Ylyrra]

I'm not convinced it was preplanned, but Winston definitely anticipated that the adjudicator was about to ask him to kill John as proof of loyalty and cut her off so that his "failure" couldn't be regarded as a failure to carry out a test, it was instead merely a failure of something he "did on his own initiative" and so couldn't be punished for. Hence the "well played" comment.

[@waterbeauty85]

The scene when John assembles a revolver choosing parts that fit and function best together is an homage to a scene from the Clint Eastwood/Segio Leone classic western "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly." It also makes sense because those guns had been assembled to be put on display in a glass case, not for function, and with the crude manufacturing techniques back in the days when those guns were made, the fit and alignment of moving parts wasn't particularly consistent.

[@pwnorbepwned]

The scene where John was disassembling revolvers and reassembling one from the pieces may have been an homage to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. One of the characters is offered multiple revolvers, and he keeps taking them apart for what he saw as the best pieces of each, and assembles unique revolver from those pieces that was the best for his preferences. John was probably taking the opportunity to not just find any weapon that works, but took the extra time to give himself the best weapon he could. He’d need it.

[@roguefenixC55]

Huge respect for Halle Berry after this movie, she put in the work and the time at the range and took the role very seriously, she wanted to deserve to be next to John Wick and she nailed it.

[@siyamafuya7163]

I think it was also said that Halle also trained with the dogs/lived with the dogs to be able to have that relationship with them and only responded to her commands

[@frankiecamacho8739]

Zero, the asian leader, is played by Marc Dacascos. He's on Iron Chef. One of my favorite movies is Only The Strong, from back in the 90s. Worth checking out.

[@mikedoskitomen1991]

Another movie to check out from him is Drive 1997

[@Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

Winston didn't shoot John in the head. That's all that needs to be said about his allegiance. John also lets people go if they showed respect and stopped when they've clearly lost. They even showed it when Zero realized he couldn't move his left arm. John waited until Zero balled up his right fist.

[@nobodyshome]

You didn't see it when it happened!... "Guns, Lots of Guns"... best easter egg of the whole series... great reaction

The sushi chef assassin and John Wick fanboy, Zero, is played by Mark Dacascos, an actor and martial artist whom most mainstream audiences might recognize as The Chairman in "Iron Chef America" or as the recurring antagonist Wo Fat in the remake of "Hawaii Five-0," but he has starred as the hero in tons and tons of action movies including "Only The Strong," "Double Dragon," the live action adaption of the "Crying Freeman" anime and manga, and the "I Am Legend"/"Omega Man" zombie apocalypse knock off "I Am Omega."

[@nerdseyeview5017]

More and more people are watching the John Wick Series and I love it.

[@waterbeauty85]

The sequence of John with the Rusa Romana (who are an actual subculture in the real world though they're not really ballet dancing assassins) implies that his martial arts roots are in the Russian art of Sambo (an abbreviation of "SAMozashchita Bez Oruzhiya" which means "self-defense without weapons" in Russian). This system of hand to hand fighting was developed for the Red Army, and according to legend Joseph Stalin tested its effectiveness by having Sambo practitioners fight to the death against condemned prisoners.

[@narukamishirou284]

35:48 actually that is still in the rules. Winston's order was to simply step down and John's absolution order was to eliminate Winston for not complying to the table. But since both sides decided to not comply, there's no special case anymore, the adjudicator can just reapply the normal rule which is deconsecrating the continental and have the troops clean the entire staffs and manager. John and Winston couldn't just kill her as well cuz that would risk a drastic consequences with no chance to absolution from the table. So it was all just a strategy to negotiate with the adjudicator by making her giving up and grant them absolution by consideration on the rules

[@kreehomel]

Keanu has said he'll keep making John Wick movies as long as they keep doing well and his body holds up. Also, speaking of The Raid, I'd love to see Iko Uwais (Rama) in one of these at some point. You should check out "The Night Comes For Us," it's another Indonesian action movie with him in it.

[@peyodelamancha]

If I remember my old lessons correctly, an adjudicator was, during roman empire era, a kind of supreme judge chosen by emperor to apply law in remote part of the country. An adjudicator was like the emperor himself and had all powers, could order things to governors and get any ressource as needed. But, to have a counter-power, I think there was a military figure attached to each zone inside the Empire and this one kept its powers, so an adjudicator couldn't do anything against him. Since the John Wick serie gets some of its elements from Antiquity (excommunicado, deconsecration, adjudicator), we can imagine the whole underworld organisation is loosely based on it and so, the adjudicator in this movie is working in the name of the High Table with all powers and supreme authority and even just hurting one is a very bad idea, it would be like hurting the High Table members ; and of course, there's certainly more than one so killing her will just trigger the arrival of another adjudicator and prompts an immediate war. For the coin, it's more a symbol than a real currency since with one you can get a drink at the Continental bar or make a body cleaned by specialists. You could have more info about all this with this video (John Wick et le Contrat Social), unfortunately in french.

Keanu and Halle trained under Taran Butler in Colorado, champion of "3 Gun Shooting" using pistols, shotguns and rifles. Taran has a company called Taran Tactical where he trains other people to do the same. He's able to empty a clip of 6 bullets by shooting 2 bullets per target, reload shoot 2 bullets per target again under 3 seconds. Her also trained Tim Ferriss in "The Tim Ferriss Experience" show. Highly recommended watch. Taran has been training Keanu since the first movie.

[@Demonaxis]

John didn't cut of Zero's fingers, he stabbed him in the axillary artery, then took two shots at arteries in the thighs; the blood dripping from the glove is from that first stab. To be fair Zero'd never have lived as long as he did with even just those cuts (arteries like that bleed **a lot**, but movie magic 'n' all). John had already really won at that point, the rest of the fight was simply desperation.

I haven't seen part 4 yet but it seems like Winston being either still a "good" guy or a bad guy is 50/50. Maybe he knew "where to shoot" but he could hardly predict the fall wouldn't kill him. On the other hand, over three movies it is hard to believe he would just turn on Wick that easily. He could have just killed him when Wick shot Santino in his hotel. Instead he helped him, inviting the High Table's wrath onto him.

[@Rotary650]

John was wearing a bullet proof suit. Winston knew that. That is why Winston only aimed for the body. Also with the way it ended. John is somewhat safe from being hunted. And now can go after the high table. with more anonymity.

NO, they made the rules and they have followed them, but they (john, winston, bowery) broke them, one of the rules is never take it personal, I mean, I think that's an assassin's rule of thumb. Winston and John did. Plus John went thru all that to get back in, then break the rules again, that makes no sense. So no, it's funny haw folks complain about the rule makers but majority of the time the same ones, want people to be punished for breaking the rules except their friends. "It's business, not personal". People always want to take out the "top dog" except when it's them.

It's pretty clear Winston is playing the long game. At that range, he could easily deal a couple of headshots to John's head. But him choosing to deal body shots knowing John is wearing bulletproof suit pretty much shows where his allegiance lies. It could very well be that Winston wanted to change the entire structure and rules and he's using John as his "weapon" to either incite change or completely outright destroy the structure. Officially, there's a John Wick 5 announced so who knows where the story goes in John Wick 4 although a few clues have been given from the trailer.
