John Wick: Chapter 4 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to John Wick Chapter 4!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
What started out as a refreshingly straight-and-to-the point tight 90-minute action movie starring Keanu Reeves shooting people has morphed into an expansive world of assassins with a whole bunch of lore and special coins. The latest installment in the franchise is John Wick Chapter 4, clocking in at a wild 3 hours of runtime.
John Wick Chapter 4 definitely raises some questions. Like how does John keep surviving the impossible? Do the cops really not care about all this public bloodshed at highly recognizable locations? How does John manage to travel internationally as he does? Is he really gone, or are we going to bring him back somehow?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to John Wick Chapter 4!

It's been long enough that all the people who said stuff like "OMG you killed JOHN WICK's dog?! You're toast!" have had time to fake their own deaths and retire to tropical islands (except for that one guy who moved to Scotland because to heck with ever going a day without rain again). Meaning only the dumb assassins who think they can take John Wick are left.

[@DustinBarlow8P]

Anybody notice how there are countless movies of heroes girlfriends, and families being killed by villain, but no villain was hated more by the general public than the villain that would dare kill a dog. You can blast through family members all day, but as soon as you shoot a dog, you are the most hated being in the universe!

[@FerraticaTheBard]

@@DustinBarlow8P Yeah, Screenwriter Guy mentions that people like dogs much more than they like humans in the pitch meeting for the first John Wick movie!

I guess it kind of makes sense. The wife of an assassin must be at least kind of okay with his previous job, even if he wanted to quit, but a puppy is pure love and definitely doesn't have a choice.

[@XhoowieX]

I'm surprised there was no mention of every character deciding to shout "Aahhhhh!" before attacking the blind guy, just to make sure he'd know they're about to hit him. Very nice assassins.

[@samuel5591]

Shouting "Aahhhhh!" before attacking a blind guy is TIGHT!

[@DerXavia]

[@gregbrown3082]

Oh, VERY courteous assassins!

[@nqabayomuzikhulilekamangwe2690]

There exists an old tradition when engaging blind assassins that one must shout or scream “Aahhhh!” before attacking.

[@kevtb874]

Not sure why they made him blind when they basically ignored it half the time or made silly, elaborate ways for him to stand a chance. His blindness added nothing to the character or much of the action other than making me think 'well ok, I guess I'll just go with it'. I think John Wick 3 is still the perfect blend of OTT action, choreography and simple but effective plot. This one went to far. The story was a bit crap and the action was either overlong or just downright ridiculous. Not knocking the work that went into the action scenes. They look great and they all have highlights for me. Just didn't flow into a cohesive whole for me like the other movies. The runtime is just too much too. These movies lend themselves to being in and out. I can rewatch the others over and over because they are no nonsense. This was bloated next to the others.

[@onAspectrum]

"So he's chosen death" is just the best way to describe anyone that chooses to fight John Wick 😂

[@elevenseven-yq4vu]

Unless it is Chuck Norris. Then Death chooses him. And loses. But John Wick still lives. Because Chuck Norris killed Death. And then both live happily ever after.

[@ArchibaldClumpy]

Even within an individual movie, the John Wick series is full of "but I thought we established that..." "I don't care, do it anyway" situations.

[@Bad_News_Bear]

producer: "because when john wick dies he only dies for as long as he wants to stay dead." "just like when he gets hit by a bullet or hurt during an attack."

​@@richmcgee434Not sure if I'm missing something about your comment but he was in fact called Caine lol. Also marquis is a title of nobility, not a name, hence why the character had it because he's, well, a snobby marquis, like somebody could be a duke or a count.

[@vanivari359]

Seems like now John wick is just like a video game and he kills enemies in front of pre-rendered/animated backgrounds. The scene at the roundabout was the most videogame movie scene i've ever seen. The cars just drive in circles completely unaffected by all those killers and cars on the side and shots fired. They don'T get slower, try to get arround them, just just fly by on a predefined path. Like in a videogame where you have to fight enemies and avoid passing cars. It's really a horrible scene, one car crashes and the camera moves and there is no driver in the car. And then there is this pretty cool scene in the building where the camera is on top and follows John Wick. Also very videogame like, but at least not super-super-stupid.

1:28 You know, somehow that never occurred to me 😂

One of the best pitch meetings in a while - double it!

[@3Crisstopher3]

I only recently learned of the passing of Lance Reddick and I assumed it happened somewhere during the filming and so they added his character's funeral scene to the movie as a way to pay respect BUT NO! they did that before it happened! and that's just.. incredibly unfortunate. RIP

[@monicarenee7949]

It’s kinda eery when that happens. Like Chadwick Boseman was sent to the spirit realm in Black Panther and ended up coming back but then in real life he passed and it reminded me of all those scenes.

[@SlothLinn]

I should definitely be doing something right now. But thanks to both a Pitch Meeting & First Guy videos, I have now forgotten it. Thanks Ryan!

[@b.d.hampton]

I would love a pitch meeting for UHF. The zaniest of Weird Al might break Ryan's brain.

[@JediJuniper92]

This is brilliant

[@prenticeclark1454]

Yes! I love UHF! Let’s go to Spatula City!!!

"He's a valued customer of Offscreen Airlines", best line

[@BatmansKitten415]

1:37 this had me smash that like button immediately. Well done, Sir! Lmfao

[@lanigirognithemos]

"A valued customer of off screen airlines" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chronos1157]

Thanks for that anxiety trigger at the end. Loved it. 🤣

[@stryke-jn3kv]

Yeah, that was a thing to put it lightly. Feeling quite attacked right now and I'm not okay.

[@jaycievictory8461]

I love the John Wick movies but the problem with having him survive so many ludicrously certain death injuries (including the staircase scene in this movie alone) is that when he was shot just once at close range, I fully expected him to be totally fine. And even when a grave was shown, I kept expecting the camera to pull back and show John alive, or a character to smirk indicating he wasn't really dead etc. It rather robbed the ending of its emotion for me, cos I had no idea he'd died till the credits

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

I'm okay with all of that until the ending of the 3rd movie. That fall should've crippled him at worst. He should've been laid up for 6 months. And then the first 3 movies happen over a period of something like 2 weeks, so surviving each movie on its own is fine to me, but in combination, it's practically impossible. Then 4 comes along and it has the stair sequence. Why not show him getting shot in the head point blank range and have him survive that? Why not chop his head off and he sews it back on his shoulders? I mean, if you're not going to be somewhat realistic, then get really crazy with it. This is also why Nobody is a far better movie than the Wick ones, it's way more realistic.

[@jackcassidy9963]

Lol prior to this John only got flesh wounds and hit in non fatal areas.

[@OlEgSaS32]

Also the fight scenes, they're cool but some lasted far too long and the entire race to the church was unnecessary at this point because we all know by now john can kill entire armies by himself, and did we really have to see all those disposable goons get killed for another 20min

[@jaycievictory8461]

@@jackcassidy9963 that dive off the building where he smacked his spine and head repeatedly on the way down was more than enough to kill him. So was falling down that many stairs repeatedly in this movie. You don't need bullets for an injury to be fatal. John was inhuman with how much he survived. So it was logical to think he could survive those bullets too within the rules of this movie universe.

[@kingplunger6033]

The whole third and fourth movie felt like watching someone play a computer game with a dumb story and invincibility cheat activated... yawn

[@Mike024ipi]

Was literally sitting outside of work watching this! Haha

[@jacknapier8201]

"So he has chosen death" was so hilariously said Im desperate for it to be a new catchphrase for when someone does something that will get them killed

[@tblaze8346]

Was waiting for this! Ryan never disappoints

[@deassssssss]

I love how he absolutely dumps on every other movie but you can tell he likes John Wick even as he tries to make jokes about it

[@GregMachlin]

See also: RRR, which he loved (rightfully so). It's impressive how good the pitch videos are when he really likes a movie.

[@JediJuniper92]

It’s impossible to not love Wick 4 imo. Or any of them.

[@mazroon]

​@@JediJuniper92I've avoided them because they look stupid.

[@agiksf.8998]

@@mazroon They are not that bad. If you don't mind dumb action flicks. Although you can stop on the 1st one - self contained and not that contrived. Have you tried 'Bullet tran'? That is a really entertaining one, I was surprised how good it turned out to be.

[@mazroon]

@agiksf.8998 Haven't seen that either. I like dumb action movies as long as the action scenes are creative. I'm a fan of John Woo, I like the Mission Impossible movies. Last action movie I was impressed by was The Raid, and that was awhile ago. JW1 is on the free streaming sites. Maybe I'll give it a go tonight. Kinda curious about the Extraction movies too.

[@thenout]

You really nailed it with your two characters on this one. Often enough they’re pretty interchangeable in their respective reactions toward each other (which is still hilarious af, don’t get me wrong), but from time to time they feel more fleshed out, like on this one. Keep up the good work, man!

[@Butcher8008]

Ryan you are a genius. Keep up the amazing work you do.

[@HariSeldon913]

How could Ryan miss having Clancy Brown overseeing the duel and telling them only one can survive, similar to his "There can be only one!" in Highlander?

[@sarthakvarshney7784]

Watching it seconds after it releases is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
