"I don't trust him and not because he was speaking Russian but because he's smoking at a gas station." lol I love it.

[@Mr.Jean-Joseph]

The part that always makes me sad is seeing the blood trail meaning the dog crawled to him and then died

[@goose4469]

Or she was just dragged to him, as a final blow to John's emotions. Her neck was broken and the guys didn't intend to kill him, "sleep tight". It's more realistic to say they dragged her. (Also the dog's body was was to the side, not making sense with the straight blood trail). You can say this detail might have been overlooked, but when you focus on this movie it has so many small details that make the statement illogical. On daisy's cage you could see she was scheduled for euthanasia the next day. Small details like this makes immersive movies.

[@Mr.Jean-Joseph]

@goose4469 I can see that and I understand what you're saying, but since Daisy was so small dragging her would be pointless. They could just lift her up and drop her near him, but the way she was laying down next to him was similar to the way she woke him up after the first night. Lol it's always nice to have discussions with people that enjoy the movies I enjoy.

[@paulmartin2348]

@@goose4469 When you can pick the dog up with one hand and drop or even throw it why would you bend over and smear it all the way across the room. I know being "brainless" is the thing now but at least pretend to try. (or get someone you know to pretend to try for you)

[@joelmclean2898]

My wife asked what John Wick was about. My son told her it was the story of a boy and his dog. Very apt description.

[@beverlyscott5357]

LOL

[@Filbi]

honestly less fucked up than the movie A Boy and His Dog

[@paulmartin2348]

"Oh" The most powerful single word ever spoken in a movie. It said everything.

[@triceyg2014]

"He can't be happy because he's son's an idiot!" That pretty much sums up Viggo's POV 😂😂

[@NestorCaster]

I appreciate the fact that this entire movie is basically the phrase “f*ck around and find out…” lmao 😂 Also at 14:56: remember back when Viggo and Marcus was talking about the contract, when Marcus asked if it was “open or exclusive” and Viggo said yes, that mean it was open to anyone, but he was there speaking to Marcus to make sure it gets done, since Marcus is that good and John’s current friend.

[@The10thManRules]

Respect to Clark Peters (Lester Freeman) and (RIP) Lance Reddick (Cedric Daniels) from The Wire.

[@LinkOfZink]

That Oh, from Viggo, is hands down the biggest stomach drop ever, So much is said in just that one word lol. With a perfect actor to deliver it.

[@kazzkazzington6611]

I lost it when she said, "I'm guessing John Wick isn't one for mercy" LOL

[@gregorywilcox5949]

the pit bull he got from the pound was going to be put down it was written on the paperwork on the dog's cage john ended the movie by saving a life.

[@kahlareacts]

Okay, thanks! I was wondering what that moment was. That just makes me like the ending (and John) even more.

[@gamesman0118]

@@kahlareacts It is also his dog. And the guy who "killed" the puppy felt really bad about it and spent time on set playing and cuddling the puppy. He also adopted it.

[@davidyoung745]

My two favorite side characters are Francis the doorman at the club, and Jimmy the cop who we see again briefly in #2. A lot of people miss it, but when Francis tells Mr. Wick he’s lost 28 kilos, he’s really telling him there are 28 guys inside. And when Jimmy sees the body inside the house, he covers his body camera with his hat.

[@brucebieberly4166]

Also, when Jimmy takes off his hat, he's signaling that he's asking for himself, not in an official capacity. He knows John doesn't target innocent people, but he wants to be sure people will stay out of any crossfire.

[@tahliasgoddaddy]

Finally, someone who actually wasn't completely lost through so much of the movie. I love your reaction. New subcriber. Oh. The dog John got from the vets office, was scheduled to be put down. That's what the paper hanging on the cage door said, so he didn't take someone else's dog, he saved it.

[@tehawfulestface1337]

Francis the doorman was able to survive the encounter with John Wick by giving him a heads up. John telling him he lost weight, “how many guys do I have to kill in there?” When Francis told John how much weight he lost, it was the number of guys he had to kill in there. Kahla, that was a good one. That the son is stupid because he inherited it from the dad! Nice one! That Viggo’s entire organization is gone…John Wick giveth and John Wick taketh it away.

[@shrubbinthepub3176]

@2:50 Kahla you made me cry laughing with your "Hope they get that money then!" great reaction!

[@maingate7672]

''He's the Boogeyman's boogeyman!'' Lol! I like that!

[@0okamino]

John Wick is the real reason the boogeyman hides under beds and in dark closets.

[@filmcrew3531]

For a man so gentle in real life, Keanu is a true action hero above others. His humanity is why he is brilliant at these type of characters. Amazing he did A LOT of his stunts, A LOT! Love your reaction Kahla! Do the others please!!!

[@beverlyscott5357]

Actully Keanu does the action and has stunt man for the stunts. Seen a interview where he stated that, s

[@x_trio_3_po333]

A precursor to this film is the 1974 movie, "Death Wish" starring Charles Bronson. He seeks revenge against those who messed with his family. Bronson's character is not a hit man, but simply an Architect who turns vigilante. This film also spawned 3 sequels. Bronson did play a hit man in another film called "The Mechanic" (1972).

[@charleslatora5750]

All excellent movies

[@bigboiboomin7469]

John Wick is one of those movies where it’s ability to solidly establish the character without even knowing them is incredible, one of my favourite Keanu Reeve Movies. Could you react to “The Grey” (2011) starring Liam Neeson.

[@technofilejr3401]

16:37, I always figured that Winston and Marcus were John Wick's mentors when he was coming up. Somewhere along the line he probably saved their lives or did a great service to them. Why else would they go out of their way to cover for him. Hopefully we will one day get to see when the three of them first met up. There is a show on cable that tells the story of how Winston gained control of the Continental.

[@kahlareacts]

I really want to know the background of a lot of these characters. You could tell that John had such a rich history with so many of them. I would love to know more about it.

[@MoneyGist]

@@kahlareacts There's a prequel series on Prime that tells the story of Winston as a young man, but you'll enjoy it better after you've seen the other John Wick movies.

[@MichaelT77777]

Many ppl that react do not see a lot of the subtleties they placed in the film, and completely miss the depth of John Wick’s principles. He doesn’t randomly kill. He is like a machine who is able to identify real threats, from those who mean to do him harm. He doesn’t kill everyone, like the priest, the two ladies etc… He is a killer, who respects life. He was retired, with his wife, for 5 years, and was a little rusty….. He gets better as he goes, and his abilities return to form. Don’t wait too long between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th movies. Number 5 is in the works! Great reaction though, and I was proud to see you catch on as quickly as you did. Most reactors are lost for a while. Ready for # 2 👍

[@rantman4521]

This is my new favorite John Wick reaction! 👍👍 "This is an alternative lifestyle" 🤣As alternative as it gets 🤣If you haven't seen it, love to see you react to The Equalizer. John Wick is a sledgehammer. Robert McCall is a scalpel. Loved your reaction. 💯

[@BigGator5]

"I heard you struck my son." "Yes, sir, I did." "And may I ask why?" "Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog." "Oh." Boom! HEADSHOT!! 😎 Fun Fact: Bacon grease was placed on Keanu Reeves' face to attract his dog to jump on him when he wakes up in bed. Action Star Fact: According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film. Of course, Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed. Stealth Adaptation Fact: The security guard who waves Wick (Keanu Reeves) onto the airport runway is reading the 1970s thriller novel "Shibumi" by Rod Whitaker, under the pen name Trevanian, also about a retired master assassin dragged back into the game. The story Viggo (Michael Nyqvist) tells about how Wick once killed three men "with a pencil" is describing a crucial scene from the same novel.

[@ThistleAndSea]

These are really good movies. You are in for a ride now. Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂

[@reaper12b15]

“He’s the one you sent to kill the F’N Boogeyman!” is my favorite line ever! BEST way to say while EVERYONE fears the Boogeyman, he ONLY fears John Wick! Meaning EVERYONE & ANYTHING should fear John Wick!! He’s the APEX PREDATOR of PLANET EARTH LOL!

[@demyanrudenko]

Jimmy the Cop "I'll leave you be then", Kirill the Bodyguard "No? But you should be" and Francis the Bouncer "Thank you, sir" are three smartest people in John Wick universe.

[@frankiek2269]

I love how John Wick let’s Iosef go in the club. He was pissed that he had been living it up without a care in the world after he killed his dog and stole his car. Iosef didn’t take his own actions seriously. So JW only shot to scare him in the club. Shooting through glass does have a small chance, like 15%, it to angle the shot. So, for JW to “miss” 4 times from 40 feet, means he wasn’t trying to hit him. He wanted Iosef to “live in fear and dread” for a bit before he killed him. You can see the difference in how rattled Iosef was at the warehouse compared how he was at the club.

[@jeanvallette6074]

Great reaction. Some facts to understand the John Wick movies. This one Is chapter one, somethings that's nota appear in the movie but are in the book, Marcus was his mentor and trainded John and this made John survive from living in the streets and become the best hitman of the Bratva (Russian mafia). So you're in the beginning of and stopless action movie so buckle up and go ahead with the others three. Again great reaction

[@paulmartin2348]

This story was written as a movie. That "book" was made after the movie by who knows and I have no idea how much of what the original authors intended it is driven by or it's just the story we get here with what ever they make up. Some people suggest that Winston was John's wife's father. That also makes sense but we have no evidence of that either.

[@cmac8154]

One KZbinr described this character set up was so successful because the movie introduces John Wick the way most movies would introduce a villain, but only after we've seen his emotional side.

[@Giovanni_Gabrielli]

I suffer from major depression, I mean, the deepest form of despair you can ever experience. The only emotion that could ever pull you out is rage, rage at it's purest form. Not really the best, but works for me. And Wick too apparently. I don't go around shooting people in the head, still, they didn't give me a reason yet.

[@fredkrissman6527]

I hope you put on your seatbelt for this one Kahla!

[@0okamino]

Might be wise to upgrade that to a rollcage setup. 😄

[@cshubs]

Whoever wrote this movie truly knew the hearts of an audience. We are dog lovers.

RIP Lance Reddick

[@PopularMonsterUSA]

Rest in Peace to Lance Riddick and Michael Nyquist (Viggo). So sad! 😥

[@tiggalong227]

Hundreds of people wouldn’t need to die if Viggo had taken his son aside shown him a picture and said “if you see him leave him alone. If you piss him off move to the moon for everyone else’s safety.”

[@doubleexoticokay]

i really like you. this comes from an elderly man who respects the reaction from a wonderfully intelligent young woman. thank you!

[@kahlareacts]

Aw, thank you! ☺️ That means a lot.

[@brucenatelee]

The first movie introduces JW's reputation, the second introduces how deep the organization functions, the third shows how far it can go, the fourth expands on the variety and politics of how they work.

[@brucenatelee]

22:34 People would ask "Why don't he just take the money?" It's the message. The fact that John don't need it and STILL will take it from you at the same time. True hater shit (that Viggo deserves).

[@zachgrill1753]

Fun fact: the shootout in the club was shot in 2 days , and Keanu had a fever too. Fun fact 2! Daisy doesn’t actually go number 2, it’s vfx and cost $14,000 lol

Im so glad i stumbled upon you a bunch of reactions ago. I love watching these. Your personality is just the best. Easy on the eyes too lol. Great channel! I think you're gonna blow up before you know it

[@l.piloto7964]

An ancient order called Assa-sins used to accept only gold as payment (weight in gold) for their services such as espionage, murder, or counterintelligence. It adds to the believability of the movie since there is precedence in real history. Some even argue that this is the origin of the Beggars Guild in China's past as well as the Ninja of Japan. If I may add a personal note, people who do work in military, intelligence and kill or capture squads must keep their feelings firewalled so they don't get in the way of what must be done.

[@tahliasgoddaddy]

That wasn't Viggo that told John he was catching the helicopter. That was the owner of the Continental.

[@0okamino]

I think she meant about taking out Marcus, which Viggo did tell John. Why did he feel the need to tell him? Well, Viggo’s motivations concerning John seem to generally hover somewhere between professional respect and petty hubris.

[@tobiuslunar5348]

That was a cool reaction, it's amazing to watch how people react to this movie, at first they are not sure how its going to progress right up to the puppy dying! then it like don't care what happens now as long as those guy's get what's coming to them. I remember watching this movie in an IMAX theatre and I have to say I've never heard so many bad word in one place apart from football matches. The puppy dying had been written in then out then in again so many times but turned out to be the thing that cemented the whole John Wick franchise.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

few films in this genre have become instant classics! although for us, the Slavs, John Wick's nickname will always remain a huge, funny misunderstanding - after all, Baba Yaga is a woman! 😅

[@0okamino]

Well, we never saw John’s house stand up, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if there were giant bird legs attached to the bottom of it. 😉 I believe the real reason Baba Yaga flies around with her mortar and pestle is that she can’t get ahold of a Mustang like John’s.

[@Astronurd]

Kahla this was one of the best reactions to this movie I've watched. No talking over the crucial lines and scenes. Very well done ✅.

Ohhhh .I personally think this is second better movie of Keanu after Constantine. I'm glad you react to this one.

[@Parallax-3D]

When Marcus asks Viggo if the contract is exclusive, he’s asking if anyone else will be trying to kill John. If it was exclusive, I don’t think Marcus would have accepted, but since it was open, other people would be trying to kill John and Marcus could protect him without rousing suspicion.

[@merkitten953]

Jusr found your channel & i really liked your reaction :) you have a great personality, and you get in comments and opinions without talking over too much dialogue, which is harder than it seems & honestly a bit of an art form, bc its so easy to sit there and either barely talk lest you speak over dialogue, or sit there and jabber through the whole movie missing key moments. You had a really good balance :) Theres so many great movies you could react to, but i'll throw out 3: Boogie Nights: set in the 70s in the porn industry- its NOT porno or sleazy tho, its an amazing movie with great characters The Black Stallion (NOT Black Beauty): while this is a movie kids can watch, its not a "kids movie". Made in the 70s before tv and film started talking down to kids, its exciting, thrilling, funny, sweet, deep, beautiful and really a unique one of a kind movie. I PROMISE its not just some schmaltzy movie about a boy an his horse. I'd be so hapy if you picked this 🐎 And finally: Clueless - cute fun witty teen comedy from the 90s :) Subbed to your channel and looking forward to more!

I am impressed with how perceptive and analytical you are, no doubt what helped you keep up and even anticipate moments in the story. The intelligence community conducted in debt medical studies on human body to develop a better or more efficient soldier or operative and discovered many substances that can help a mentally disciplined individual work through pain, injuries and even mortal wounds as close to peak capability till objective is complete or death overcomes them.

[@themask8221]

Am I correct in assuming the copy you watched did not have English subtitles for the non-English dialogue? If/When you watch the next three movies, please make sure there are English subtitles for the foreign parts, because they are actually very important to understanding better the plot and the characters. I saw you say in another comment that you are very interested to know the background of a lot of the characters. Well, knowing what the non-English dialogue means in these John Wick movies, especially the sequels, will help with that.

[@kahlareacts]

Yeah, I was super annoyed when I realized that there were no English subtitles for the non-English dialogue. By the time I realized, it was too late. I’ll definitely be looking for one with correct subtitles for the next three.

My only gripe is that the son should have had a slower death, or say something vengeful as he killed him.

Agree to Disagree. Allowing him a slow death on screen would have been showing him actual respect, which he had no right to. Stomping him out like a cockroach the first chance John got seemed more fitting IMHO. Like and love the thought process anyways though :)

You seemed to get confused towards the end (which is easy to do). It wasn't Viggo that called John Wick to tell him he was going to the helicopter pad. It was Winston, the manager of the Continental, who called John Wick, as a courtesy for having had the attempt on his life inside the Continental. This franchise is a roller-coaster. Enjoy the ride!
