John Wick First Time Watching Group Movie Reaction

When John asked the bouncer if he lost weight and he answered " Over 60 pounds " he was informing him of how much security was inside. Just a random tidbit.

[@sortastupid]

That’s an awesome detail

[@BrokenToews]

@@sortastupid The problem is the translation to subtitles, in Russian he says over 28 Kilos (note the trivia says he kills 28 people, probably meaning guards plus VIPs) but I feel like the people subbing it didn't understand the significance of the line and translated it to pounds on principle. The fact he gave him a tip-off on how many are inside still stands though, I guess 60 might have just sounded more impressive if translation did know?

[@BekindBekbek]

@@BrokenToews even funnier, he says 20 kilos in Russian, not 28. That stylized in-movie subtitles actually surprisingly inaccurate

Honestly my favorite line from this movie is when at the end Winston says "Ms Perkins, your membership to the Continental has been by thine own hand revoked" right before she gets shot I don't know why, it gives me chills😅

[@Mrryn]

Very cold and nonchalant, right before a brutal and quick execution. The juxtaposition of such a casual line out of context right next to a person's life being snuffed out and then cleaned up as if nothing of consequence happened...yeah, pretty chilling stuff.

[@Crazed3raser337]

One thing I love about this movie is that John is a believer in the double tap. He doesn't just shoot people in the torso and then just leaves them to potentially still be able to shoot him while on the ground, especially because he knows that they are probably wearing body armor. So he shoots center mass to stagger then makes sure to pop the head to make sure they are dead. Same with the guy he chokes out on the floor. He isn't gonna take the chance that the guy is faking being knocked out, so he snaps the neck too to make sure. Just pure cold efficiency.

[@phtevenj]

My favorite line HAS to be when Viggo telling his son John Wick is who you sent to KILL the f*kng boogeyman... just the chills i get hearing that line... SHOOO

[@technos_orphan_obliterator]

The John Wick franchise is one of the most amazing franchises of all time period, and i cant wait to see your reactions. I recently watched Chapter 4 in theatres and it was one of the most amazing movies i have seen in my entire life that will stay with me forever.

[@fourthhorsemendeath218]

Something I love about the club scene is the cinematography. The sons camera is hectic and jerkinf around all over the place while John's is focused and smooth

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

The original script the director wanted to keep daisy alive because he didn't want to alienate dog owners as an audience but he decided to kill her because it made John's character more relatable and people would be more invested in the movie because they can relate

[@ShadowSpark-dx4jq]

The whole movie is about a dog owner getting revenge for their murdered dog, if that doesn’t sum up how far people would go for their pets idk what will

He gave him the cheap vodka so it will burn on its way down, then when he punched him it would burn on its way back up. Then he went back to the counter and served himself the good stuff that doesn't burn.

[@bidwell13]

The John Wick series is amazing. I got interested in it when I heard it was about a man out for revenge for his car stolen and dog killed. The director used to be Keanu’s stunt man in “The Matrix”. Keanu did the majority of his action scenes and only used stuntmen when it was so dangerous even a seasoned stuntman would get hurt. It always made me wonder why the wife didn’t make sure to have food delivered with the dog. The Red Circle fight scene Keanu had the flu bad with around 103 degree fever but still nailed the shot. Keanu really values his stunt-doubles. He buys them wrap gifts. Like one John Wick movie he got them motorcycles and the latest one he got all 5 of them submariner watches engraved saying John Wick 5 the stuntman’s name and date. Iosef couldn’t just steal John’s car cause of the way that John acted at the gas station. Iosef felt disrespected so he was going to make sure he learned a lesson not knowing who John was. I love how Viggo says “oh”. It’s like he read a multipage letter. I like the Marilyn Manson song they put in and I’m not a big Manson fan. It really fits with what Marcus does.

[@kojiattwood]

Marcus has really good writing that very few people pick up on. He asks if it's an open contract to determine who else will be going after John, and then just ambiguously says "Consider it done", instead of saying "I'll accept the contract", so he can look out for him.

[@tonyroid1]

"OH". The greatest 1 word ever spoken in film. 😅

[@DXDragon38]

RIP Lance Reddick. He was such a great part of this franchise, among the many other roles he has played. He will definitely be missed.

[@AJUniverse]

I remember reading somewhere that the way Keanu reloads in these movies is used by competitive speed shooters now because it's more efficient than previous techniques.

[@mikemath9508]

when the dad says "MY SON WOULD BE STILL ALIVE" this was a triumph. I'm making a note here, "huge success"

[@jamesmarciel5237]

11:22 the reason that that his Dad, the mob boss gets a different bottle, is that he planned to do that. He gave his son the cheap vodka, because he knew he’d throw it up when he hit him in the stomach. Then, he pours himself a glass of the good vodka. He also pointedly doesn’t give his son a glass of it.

[@ColinRichards1]

The guy you said was giving him a hard time and the one who stabbed him with the bottle and threw him off the balcony. Which is the same person he fights in the church after vigo left. The director said that character was the replacement for John in the Russian organization.

[@Flamebeard0815]

"It's from his wife? Oh my god, that makes me sooo emotional..." Man, you have got NO CLUE what's coming to get you! ;-)

[@williambyers7194]

This is a thought I just had, I doubt I'm the first to think it. Its always badass when a guy just kicks ass or goes on a spree in movies in simple black suit. And think I know why. Yes its to do with the simplicity of it; just no frills, no real flash, it lets you focus on the action and the emotions... But its a bit deeper than that, I think. I think the reason its so badass to see a character like john wick in the simple black suit go on his revenge fueled murder spree... Is because its, in essence, a funeral suit. Its basically a statement. "they put on this suit, and people. Are going. To die."

[@michellehawk282]

Fun fact: When John asked the bouncer about losing weight and he answered with "over sixty pounds" he wasn't actually talking about his weight, he was telling john how many men were in the building, which is also why john let him go.

[@tonyrusso9126]

In the original script, Wick is between 60 to 70 years old. OF course, Keanu is timeless.

You guys should definitely check out Nobody if you haven't seen it. It's such a good movie and Bob Odenkirk has said the training and exercise he did for the movie probably saved his life after his stroke on the set of Better Call Saul's 6th Season

[@tracikdoddy]

I read in an interview that Daisy the dog was not originally supposed to die, but Keanu thought that Daisy had to be killed in that scene for John to be motivated to KILL EVERYBODY!!!!!!

[@Mrryn]

As sad as it is, it makes sense. Daisy was that last flicker of the hope and love his wife left behind - the same woman whose love pulled John out of the life to start. It only makes sense that that little light had to be snuffed out for John to fall back into that dark place he was freed from and be who he was before, even just for one last dipshit who needed to learn a lesson. If anything, John taking in another dog at the end is a subtle sign of character growth. Instead of falling fully into that darkness, turns out his wife did instill that bit of hope deep into him - he didn't lose it all when Daisy was killed even when it really seemed like Daisy was the one tether to that happy life he had left, and he was able to find it in himself to save a life and bring another thing to love and care for into his life even after falling back into being Baba Yaga.

The genius of this movie is that you don't even realize when you're watching it how much lore and world-building they're giving you for them to build on in the sequels. It like nothing but action but there's a lot of expert story-telling going on in the background that you're taking in but not processing until it comes back up in later movies. My personal favorite is the second one. It has the most tension to me because the antagonist is actually a legitimate rival for John.

[@jeffscott1877]

So glad to see more reacting to this film.

[@Whitewingdevil]

Honestly one of the greatest independantly made movies of all time. I hope this stands as a testament to the storytelling potential of stunt teams and stunt coordinators, because absolutely everything about the first John Wick is perfect. I have quibbles with the second and third movie, but they don't reduce my enjoyment of them, but 1 and 4 stand as perfect action movies for me.

[@jonreese7066]

One thing about first time watching a movie with someone who's already watched it is that during the movie where they think some scenes are not important so they just loudly joke it through while your experience will be easily ruined, as if they handpicked what they think the most highlighted part of the movie for you to focus, instead of yourself. Plus from directing and movie making perspective, a movie is delivering an experience of watching it from top to end continuously without pausing and sharing, that's why the best movie experience is in the movie theater coz you just sit their, shut your mouth and phone down and purely experience the whole story. But everyone has different ways of enjoying movie I guess, the point is having a blast :)

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

Fun fact the director put bacon grease on keeanu's face to make the puppy Andy a boy plays daisy lick his face they also did it with Cha Cha the pitbull in the third movies but they used peanut butter for her.
